The city’s humid summers, freeze-thaw winters, and proximity to the Passaic River accelerate wear on wood and fiber cement siding. Before any paint job can succeed, the underlying siding must be sound. Siding repair before painting involves a thorough inspection for rot, cracks, warping, or insect damage, followed by precise removal of compromised sections and installation of matching replacement boards. This step is not optional—painting over damaged siding traps moisture, leading to blistering, peeling, and eventual structural rot within months. In Paterson, where many properties date back to the early 20th century, old-growth wood siding requires careful handling to avoid splitting during removal. We also address gaps around windows and corners, which are common trouble spots in Paterson’s older neighborhoods like Riverside and Eastside. After repairs, we sand and prime the new wood to match the existing surface, ensuring the final paint adheres evenly and lasts through multiple seasons of snow and rain. Without this preparation, even premium paint fails prematurely, costing time and money. The repair process begins with a detailed walk-around to identify all compromised areas, including hidden damage behind gutters or under porch overhangs. We use a moisture meter to detect rot that isn’t visible to the naked eye—a critical step in Paterson’s damp climate. For wood siding, we cut out rotted sections back to sound material, scarfing in new pieces with galvanized nails and exterior-grade filler. For fiber cement, we match the specific texture and thickness, then seal all seams with caulk rated for expansion and contraction. We also check for loose nails, replacing them with ring-shank fasteners for better holding power. Once repairs are complete, we apply a primer specifically formulated for the siding material, which prevents tannin bleed from wood and ensures uniform absorption of the topcoat. This preparation work typically takes one to three days, depending on the extent of damage, and is always performed before any paint is opened. Skipping this step is the most common mistake in exterior painting, leading to visible patches and early failure. ## Areas We Cover in Paterson We serve the full city of Paterson, including Riverside near the Passaic River, the historic Great Falls district, and neighborhoods like Eastside, Bunker Hill, and Sandy Hill.
