Exterior paint in the South Sound fails from the substrate up, not the surface down. If paint is peeling again within a couple of years of a good repaint, the problem is usually moisture in the wall rather than the coating. We prepare properly and tell you honestly when paint is not the right answer. Written quote before any deposit.
PrimeGuard Exteriors paints homes across Puyallup and the South Sound. Full exterior repaints, new-construction painting, and the trim, fascia, soffit, and door work that goes with them. If your paint is peeling, chalking, or growing algae on the shaded walls, here’s how we fix it so it actually lasts.
Most failed paint around here isn’t a paint problem. It’s a prep problem. We wash off the mildew and chalk, scrape and sand what’s loose, prime every bare spot, caulk the gaps, and repair soft trim or siding before any color goes on. Skip that and you’re repainting in three years.
We use premium exterior coatings rated for marine and wet-climate exposure, so they hold color and shed water on the walls that take the most weather. We’ll be honest with you: north and east elevations fade and grow algae first, so those get the most attention.
Sometimes the siding underneath is past saving. If it’s soft, swollen, or failing, we’ll tell you straight and walk you through re-siding options instead of painting over a problem that comes back.
We work in dry-weather windows, protect your landscaping and hardscape, and keep the site clean day to day. Most repaints run a few days depending on square footage, stories, and prep. You’ll get a clear timeline before we start.
We’ll come out, look at the whole exterior, and give you an itemized quote — not a number over the phone. Every job carries a 2-year PrimeGuard workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the coating. Call or text (253) 365-9322, or use the form below to book a free in-home consultation.

It depends on the size of the home, how many stories, the condition of the existing paint and siding, and how much prep or rot repair we find. We walk the whole exterior, then hand you an itemized quote — not a phone estimate.
A quality repaint with proper prep typically lasts 7–10 years here, sometimes longer on protected walls. North- and east-facing walls fade and grow moss first, so those are the ones to watch.
Late spring through early fall gives the most reliable dry, warm windows, but we watch the forecast and can paint in the shoulder seasons when there’s a clear stretch. We won’t rush a coat on when the weather won’t let it cure.
Yes — repaints and new-construction painting on fiber cement (including James Hardie), LP, wood, and trim. We prime bare wood and cut edges per the manufacturer’s spec so the finish holds.
Always. Most failed paint here is a prep failure, not a paint failure. We wash, scrape, sand, caulk, prime bare spots, and repair or flag rot before a drop of color goes on.
Most homes are a few days on site depending on size, prep, and weather windows. You’ll get a clear timeline with your estimate.
