Bridger Canyon Luxury Home Exterior Repaint
Complete exterior restoration of a 4,200 sq ft mountain home
Before & After Transformation
Before 
After The Challenge
This stunning Bridger Canyon property had suffered significant exterior damage after 12 years of Montana's extreme weather conditions. The homeowners faced several issues:
- • Severe UV fading - The south-facing walls had lost nearly 40% of their original color due to high-altitude UV exposure
- • Paint delamination - Temperature swings from -20F to 90F had caused widespread peeling, especially on the west-facing walls
- • Wood damage - Moisture infiltration through failed paint had begun rotting trim boards and fascia
- • Aesthetic concerns - The home's curb appeal no longer matched the prestigious Bridger Canyon neighborhood
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive restoration plan designed specifically for Montana's harsh climate:
- ✓ Complete surface preparation - Power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, and wood rot repair on 15 linear feet of trim
- ✓ Premium bonding primer - Applied Sherwin-Williams Extreme Bond primer to ensure maximum adhesion
- ✓ UV-resistant topcoat system - Two coats of Duration exterior paint with VinylSafe technology
- ✓ Strategic color selection - Chose colors with excellent fade resistance and 25-year warranty
- ✓ Weather-sealed trim - Applied premium semi-gloss to all trim for moisture protection
Our Process

Surface Preparation
