Redwood Siding Restoration in Davis, June 2013

Redwood Siding Restoration in Davis, June 2013

Redwood Siding Made Beautiful

Siding can be a beautiful feature on the exterior of your home. Over time, however, it weathers and changes color. Sometimes it becomes blotchy with dark areas. When you want to stain it, you really need to take the time to prepare the siding the correct way.

We recently painted a home in Davis, CA with redwood siding only in the front, but the siding had turned a dark brown in areas and red in other areas. The homeowner wanted to see the beautiful grain, but the siding sealed with an oil base product and had become sticky. In order to restore the wood, the prep was crucial in bringing it back to life.

The first thing we did was wash it with Sherwin Williams product called Revive. It is a stain and sealer remover and it has to be rolled on, let sit, scrub with a brush, and rinsed off. As the product comes off, the wood becomes fibrous and looks like horse hair. The siding then was sanded and it became beautiful and smooth again.

Because the wood had light and dark areas, we combined Sherwin Williams Woodscapes Semi Transparent Stain in Chestnut and Woodscapes solid stain in Ranchero Red. The two stain colors married the Cape Cod Red solid stain on the eaves with the Sherwin Williams French Roast brown on the fascia and gutters, bringing everything together for a beautiful new finish.

The key to this process was prepping the siding properly to allow the absorption of the stain. If done poorly, the stain would not be able to penetrate the wood. All in all, the homeowner was very happy with the new fresh look of her siding and her home now stands out in her neighborhood as one of the best.

Mark and the team from Brook’s Painting are exceptional at their jobs. We recently renovated a 5000sqft home and they did all the painting. Their attention to detail and investment in our project is so appreciated, and we knew we were in good hands with them. The value they add by identifying issues, making suggestions and going the extra mile to deliver quality work and make sure we are happy with our home is such a breath of fresh air. I would hire this team and company for any future work in a heartbeat and can’t say enough how amazing they are!

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

My experience with Brooks Painting has been outstanding, and, if it were an option on Google, I would assign 100 stars to their work. Mark and his crew were exceptional in painting both the inside and outside of my Central Davis home. They were considerate, careful, and respectful of my furnishings and yard. Kristen and her office staff were also responsive to my queries and were timely in scheduling the work. Thank you Brooks Painting for assisting in transforming my house into a beautiful home!

We chose Brooks Painting based on their excellent reputation. It was an excellent choice! We had them do a complete exterior and almost complete interior painting of our two story house. They were done separately, while we were out of town. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. They even fixed up a few mistakes made by a crew that painted a portion of our interior ceilings a month prior (removal of asbestos popcorn ceiling), at no extra charge. Cleanup was great, also. They repaired some dry rot that was uncovered (extra charge, but worth it), and they even moved furniture back into place as well as put back the curtain rods that I had taken down, which wasn't expected. I highly recommend them, and will use them again for any future paint jobs.

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
