Common questions

What does primer do for exterior paint?

Should I prime before painting in Philadelphia?

Yes, priming is a crucial step before painting in Philadelphia. The city experiences significant temperature swings and humidity. A good primer creates a barrier against moisture and ensures your paint adheres properly to all surfaces.

What kind of primer is best for older homes?

For older homes in Pennsylvania, a high-quality stain-blocking primer is often recommended. These primers can cover old paint, water stains, and tannin bleed from wood. This ensures a uniform surface for your new paint.

Does primer cover imperfections?

Primer does a good job of covering minor imperfections like small cracks and scuffs. It creates a smooth, uniform surface that makes the final paint color appear more vibrant and even. This is beneficial for any home's exterior.

How long does primer last?

Primer is designed to be a long-lasting base for paint. When properly applied and covered with a quality topcoat, it can last for many years. Its main job is to ensure the longevity of the entire paint system on your home.
