Exterior House Painting in Lake Geneva, WI
Lake Geneva homes take a beating. Water, wind, sun, and winter freeze and thaw all work on the paint year after year. Mike Walsh Painting has been in business since 1996 and has served the Lake Geneva area since 2004. We are the trusted Lake Geneva painters for exterior repaints: careful prep first, the right paint system, and a project manager who keeps you informed every day.
Whole Home Exterior Repaint, Lake Genev
Before any paint goes on, we walk the home with you and write the plan down. Then we wash, scrape, sand, repair, caulk, and prime bare spots before the finish coats. You get daily updates, and we do a final walkthrough with you before the job is done.
Why Lake Geneva Homes Are Hard on Paint
Homes near the lake see more moisture and bigger swings in temperature than homes farther inland. South and west walls get the most sun. Winter freeze and thaw opens small gaps in wood and caulk. Paint that looks fine in year three can fail by year seven if the prep was rushed, so we put most of the time into the prep.
Lakefront and Second Homes
We plan access, protect docks, landscaping, and decks, and send daily updates wherever you are.
Prep That Lasts
We wash, scrape, sand, repair, caulk, and prime before the finish coats. Most paint failures start with rushed prep, so it gets the most time.
The Right Finish for Each Surface
Siding, trim, doors, and decks each get a finish suited to the surface and to lake weather, planned together so the whole exterior matches.
A Dedicated Project Manager
One point of contact runs the job from the first walkthrough to the final sign off, so nothing falls through the cracks.
