Exterior Painting That Actually Lasts in Vermont's Climate
A lot of exterior paint jobs look great the day they're finished. The real test is how they look two winters later. Paint failure almost always traces back to shortcuts during preparation—skipping the power wash, not scraping thoroughly, priming over damp wood, or using the wrong product for the surface. Those mistakes don't show up right away, but Vermont's weather will expose every one of them.
At Summit Pro Painting, we approach every exterior project with the understanding that preparation is the job. The actual painting is the last step in a process that starts with a detailed surface evaluation and ends with a finish designed to handle snow, ice, rain, and direct sun without breaking down prematurely. That's not a sales pitch—it's just how exterior painting works when it's done right.
We've painted over 80 homes across Vermont, and the common thread in every project is planning. We take the time to assess your home's specific conditions, recommend the right approach, and execute it without cutting corners. That's what sets our work apart—and it's why our clients trust us to get it right the first time.
Meticulous
Planning.
Lasting Results.
Meticulous Planning
Every exterior project starts with a detailed assessment of your home's siding, trim, and surface condition. We identify problem areas, plan the prep work, and lay out the full scope before any paint is opened. You'll know exactly what we're doing, why, and how long it will take.
Integrity Driven
Transparency is core to how we operate. Our quotes are detailed and honest—no hidden charges, no vague line items. If something changes during the project, you'll hear about it from us before the cost changes. We'd rather explain the work upfront than deal with surprises later.
Dedicated Team
Our crew shows up on time, communicates clearly, and treats your property with respect. We're not a revolving door of subcontractors—you get the same people from start to finish, and they take pride in leaving your home looking better than when they arrived.
Exterior Painting Services in Burlington, VT
From full house repaints to targeted trim and siding work, we handle every aspect of exterior painting for residential and commercial properties across Vermont.
Siding Painting
01Your siding is the largest surface on your home and the most visible. We paint wood, clapboard, fiber cement, and vinyl siding using products selected specifically for the material and its exposure conditions. Every siding project includes thorough power washing, scraping, sanding, priming where needed, and two coats of high-quality exterior paint. Vermont homes face heavy snow loads, ice buildup, and intense summer sun—the right product and application method make the difference between a finish that lasts two years and one that holds for a decade.
Trim, Fascia, and Detail Work
02Trim is often where exterior paint fails first. Window casings, fascia boards, soffits, and door frames take direct hits from water runoff, ice, and sun—and because they're often painted with less care than siding, they deteriorate faster. We pay close attention to these areas during every project. That means scraping back to solid substrate, priming bare wood, caulking joints and seams, and applying coatings that can handle the exposure. Sharp, clean trim work is one of the details that separates a professional paint job from a DIY attempt.
Full Exterior Repaints
03A full exterior repaint is our bread and butter. When your home's paint has reached the end of its life—widespread peeling, chalking, fading, or bare wood showing through—a complete repaint restores both protection and curb appeal. We handle the entire process: power washing, surface repair, scraping, sanding, priming, and multi-coat application across siding, trim, doors, and accents. Full repaints are planned meticulously from start to finish so the project moves efficiently and every surface gets the attention it needs.
Commercial Exterior Painting
04The exterior of your business is the first thing clients and customers see. Faded, peeling, or outdated paint sends the wrong message. Summit Pro Painting provides commercial exterior painting for offices, storefronts, multi-unit buildings, and other commercial properties across Burlington and Vermont. We work around your business hours to minimize disruption and plan every project so it stays on schedule. The same standards we bring to residential work—meticulous prep, quality materials, and clean execution—apply to every commercial project.

Common signs include peeling, cracking, or bubbling paint, visible fading from UV exposure, bare or exposed wood, and chalky residue when you run your hand across the surface. If your home hasn't been painted in 7-10 years and you're seeing any of these signs, it's worth scheduling a walkthrough. Catching these issues early can save you money on prep work down the road.
Yes. Proper surface preparation is essential for paint adhesion, and power washing is the first step. We wash all exterior surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, loose paint, and debris before any scraping, sanding, or painting begins. Skipping this step is one of the most common reasons exterior paint fails prematurely.
