Local conditions
What painting in Frederick involves
Fences and gates first
Open ground and steady wind wear out wood fences, gates and west-facing trim sooner than homeowners expect.
First repaints are arriving
Newer Frederick homes are hitting first repaints, usually starting with south-facing trim and garage doors.
Garage doors go first
Newer Frederick homes often have two- and three-car garage doors facing the street in full sun. Those doors fade and chalk ahead of the siding around them, and repainting them is one of the cheapest ways to freshen a house.
