Bella Vista’s older wood-sided homes and weathered decks need more than a coat of paint — they need proper prep. Brush Brothers protects your investment with thorough surface prep and premium Sherwin-Williams finishes built for NWA weather.
Bella Vista was largely developed between the 1960s and 1990s, and many of its homes still carry the original wood siding and trim from that era. Wood is beautiful, but it does not forgive neglect. NWA’s wet springs and hot, humid summers accelerate moisture intrusion at failed caulk seams, around window casings, and along soffits. Once bare wood is exposed, rot follows quickly.
Our team has worked on dozens of Bella Vista exteriors. The pattern is consistent: homeowners who skipped proper prep paid to repaint within 3 to 4 years. The homes we prep correctly — scraping failed paint to bare wood, priming exposed sections, recaulking every joint — consistently hold their finish for 8 to 12 years. That’s not luck, that’s process.
We apply top quality Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products on all Bella Vista jobs — paints formulated specifically to resist the UV and moisture exposure common in this region. Last Updated: April 2026.
Most exterior failures follow the same pattern. Knowing what to look for — and how to fix it properly — is the difference between a repaint that lasts a decade and one that fails in three years.
Original caulk from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s has long since shrunk and cracked. Every open joint is a moisture entry point. We remove failed caulk completely, treat bare wood, and apply a premium paintable caulk rated for exterior wood movement.
Peeling is always a symptom of trapped moisture or adhesion failure from previous paint jobs done without proper prep. We scrape down to a stable surface, feather-sand the edges, and prime before topcoating. Paint over peeling paint simply re-peels.
Any bare wood in a wet NWA spring absorbs moisture like a sponge. We prime every bare section before topcoat — using an oil-based bonding primer in severe cases. This creates a moisture barrier and dramatically improves topcoat adhesion.
Bella Vista’s mature tree canopy is one of its best features — and one of the hardest variables for exterior paint. Surfaces that stay damp longer are more susceptible to mildew and algae. We address this with mildewcide additives in the topcoat on shaded elevations.
Six steps. No shortcuts. This is how every Brush Brothers exterior job runs — from first visit to final walkthrough.
We inspect the full exterior — siding, soffits, fascia, trim, windows — and identify all areas needing prep work before quoting. No guesswork, no surprise change orders.
We pressure wash the full exterior to remove dirt, mildew, and chalk residue. We allow proper dry time before any prep or painting begins — rushing this step is the most common contractor mistake.
All failed and peeling paint is scraped to a firm edge. Sanded smooth where needed. Every caulk joint around windows, doors, and trim boards is assessed — failed caulk is removed and replaced.
Every bare wood section receives a primer coat before topcoat. We match primer to the situation — latex primer for minor exposure, oil-based bonding primer for areas with previous adhesion failure or rot history.
We apply two full coats of top quality Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products — never watered-down material, never a single-coat “finish.” Trim and body colors are cut in with brushwork, not just rolled over.
Before we leave, we walk the entire exterior with you. Any touchups are completed on the spot. We leave your property clean — no paint cans left on site, no masking tape on your plants.
Every project is quoted after an in-person inspection. These ranges reflect real jobs in Bella Vista and across Northwest Arkansas.
Pricing is affected by square footage, siding material, prep complexity (peeling, bare wood, rot repair), number of trim colors, and site access. Homes with significant deferred maintenance on wood siding will sit toward the higher end of the range. All quotes are firm — no surprise add-ons after work begins.
Our 5 Google Rating comes from homeowners who had us back for a second job — or referred us to a neighbor. Upfront pricing, clean jobsites, no surprises.
If anything fails in the first year — adhesion, peeling, missed spots — we come back and fix it. No negotiations, no invoices. That’s the guarantee.
We identify all prep work during the estimate. The quote you approve is the price you pay. We don’t add scope after work begins unless you ask us to.
We use top quality Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products on every job — two of the highest-performing exterior product lines on the market. 25+ years of application experience means we get the most out of both.
We’ll inspect your home, walk you through what needs to be done, and give you a firm quote — no pressure, no obligation. Scheduling takes two minutes.
