Exterior Painting in Monte Creek
We paint stucco, siding and trim on Monte Creek homes. Caulk and cracks are checked first, since spring freeze and thaw wear on them, and the paint goes on in settled weather.

How We Handle Exterior Painting in Monte Creek
Monte Creek sits on the valley floor beside the South Thompson River. Environment Canada's former Monte Creek station was at 351 m, close to the 345 m of the Kamloops airport station, so the airport normals are a fair guide. They show a frost-free season from late April to mid-October, about 278 mm of precipitation a year and July highs near 29 degrees. That is a fairly long, dry season, with sharp swings at both ends.
We paint stucco, siding and trim. An on-site visit leads to an itemized written quote, then colors and dates. Prep follows: masking, sanding, patching and caulking around trim, windows and doors. After the paint, the crew cleans up every work day, and you walk the finished house with them before final payment.

Local Knowledge
Freeze, thaw and caulk in a Monte Creek March
In March at Kamloops airport, more than half the nights fall to freezing or below, while the afternoons climb above freezing on nearly every day. That daily swing opens small cracks in caulk, and meltwater gets in. When it refreezes, it pushes the crack wider. Exterior paint over cracked caulk fails early, so the spring check on a Monte Creek house should start with caulk joints, trim ends and window sills.
Painting needs warmer, steadier weather than March gives. Sherwin-Williams says fresh paint should stay above the dew point for 48 hours, with at least four hours of dry time before moisture settles. That points to late spring through early fall, with the first fall frost around mid-October as the soft end of the season. Walk your house in April and note the cracks and peeling, so your list is ready when the weather turns.
