Project Description
Located in the beautiful city of Cincinnati, Ohio, this exterior repaint project involved giving a fresh new look to a 1,500 sq. ft. Tudor-style home. The property featured painted stucco walls, intricate trim details, and a detached garage with wood siding.
Our primary goal was to enhance the home’s curb appeal and provide a durable, high-quality finish that could withstand Cincinnati’s varying weather conditions. Over three days, Queen City Painting and Decorating meticulously transformed the property, leaving our client, Kelly, thrilled with the results.
Using Emerald Rain Refresh paint, a premium product known for its self-cleaning properties and exceptional weather resistance, we delivered a stunning and long-lasting exterior finish.
Our comprehensive services included exterior stucco painting, window sash painting, and exterior trim painting, ensuring every detail was addressed with care and precision.

Process:
Our process began with a detailed consultation to understand Kelly’s vision and expectations. He chose us based on our professional appearance, skilled crews, excellent communication, and proven track record of delivering high-quality work.
Once we finalized the project plan, our team got to work.
1. Surface Preparation
- We thoroughly inspected the stucco, trim, and wood siding for any signs of damage or imperfections.
- All surfaces were power washed to remove dirt, mildew, and debris, ensuring a clean and smooth base for painting.
- Cracks in the stucco were repaired, and the trim and wood siding were sanded to create an even surface.
2. Priming and Masking
- A high-quality primer was applied to ensure optimal adhesion and durability of the topcoat.
- Windows, landscaping, and other non-painted areas were carefully masked and protected to prevent any overspray or splatters.
3. Painting
- For the stucco, we applied two coats of Emerald Rain Refresh, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- The window sashes and exterior trim received detailed brushwork to maintain their intricate design and add depth to the home’s overall appearance.
- The detached garage’s wood siding was painted to match the home’s main structure, creating a cohesive aesthetic.
4. Final Touches
- After the paint was fully cured, we performed a thorough inspection to ensure every detail met our high standards.
- Cleanup was conducted meticulously, leaving the property spotless and ready for Kelly to enjoy.
