Exterior Painting Services in Grand Rapids, MI

Siding Painting and Refinishing

Siding is often the most visible component of a home’s exterior. Faded, chalking, or outdated siding colors can be revitalized with fresh paint using techniques appropriate for vinyl, wood, composite, or aluminum siding materials.

In Grand Rapids, wood siding homes often require additional attention due to moisture exposure and prior layers of paint. Our team handles siding refinishing using quality primers and flexible paint films designed to expand and contract with Michigan’s changing temperatures, reducing the risk of premature cracking or peeling.

Trim, Fascia, and Soffit Painting

Exterior trim—including fascia boards, soffits, window casings, and corner boards—requires sharp detailing and product precision. These areas are often exposed to direct moisture from rain runoff and gutters, which means proper sealing and paint adhesion are critical.

The painters at Rick Bylsma And Aguirre are trained in hand-brushing techniques that provide coverage in narrow and decorative trim zones. All seams are caulked prior to painting, and we ensure every linear edge is crisply defined to enhance the contrast between trim and siding colors.

Brick Painting and Brick Staining

Brick exteriors in Grand Rapids are often left uncoated, but when painting is requested, it requires breathable, mineral-based coatings that won’t trap moisture inside the masonry. We assess the condition of the brick and mortar before applying elastomeric or mineral paints that allow for proper moisture exchange while still providing an even, pigmented finish.



In cases where full painting is not preferred, brick staining is offered as an alternative to subtly enhance the color tone without compromising the brick’s natural texture. This is especially popular on home facades, chimneys, or entry walls.

Stucco Painting and Repair

Stucco surfaces require specific handling due to their textured and porous nature. Cracks and flaking areas are patched using elastomeric caulk or stucco patch compounds before priming and coating. We apply elastomeric paints or masonry coatings that stretch with minor movements in the substrate to help prevent future cracks.

This service is ideal for homes in the Heritage Hill and East Grand Rapids areas where stucco remains a common exterior material. Our coatings improve water resistance while maintaining breathability, and we adjust sheen levels based on client preference—from flat matte to low-sheen finishes that resist dirt.

Exterior Door and Shutter Painting

Doors are high-traffic focal points that require careful prep and specialized coatings for durability. Whether it's a steel entry door, a wooden front door with panels, or decorative shutters, we use fast-drying, impact-resistant enamel paints designed for exterior wear.

Grand Rapids homeowners frequently request bold, modern door colors to refresh curb appeal. We ensure even, brush-stroke-free finishes and seal edges to prevent moisture penetration.
