Paint That Stands Up to Lake Weather

Around Bobcaygeon, the outside of a house simply needs attention more often. A cottage facing Pigeon Lake or Sturgeon Lake takes wind straight off the water, and moisture works into any joint or crack where the old paint has opened up. Once that wood goes through a winter of freezing and thawing, the paint over it blisters and peels. Painting over the problem gives you a nice look for one summer and not much more.

So prep is most of the job. Loose paint comes off, the edges get sanded back so they don't show through, and soft spots in the trim are repaired before any primer goes on. Bare wood gets primed. On fascia and siding that faces the lake, we look hard at the caulked seams as well, since a failed joint behind fresh paint will push it off again. Exterior painting on a typical single-family home runs $2,500 to $6,000, priced by the project.

Timing matters for seasonal owners. Outside work needs dry weather, so it belongs in the warmer months. Interior painting is another story. If your place sits empty once the season wraps up in October, that's a good window to repaint rooms without working around guests and wet towels. Interior rooms are usually $300 to $800 apiece, with size and prep setting the price. We usually use Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams, unless you'd rather we use another brand.
