The FC Finishes difference

Craftsmanship you can see — and prep you can’t

Exterior paint fails early when it’s rushed. We don’t. Every exterior starts with a thorough wash, scrape and sand, spot-priming of bare and weathered areas, and careful attention to the seams where Rochester’s moisture sneaks in. Then we apply premium exterior systems matched to your siding. The result is curb appeal that still looks sharp after several brutal Western New York winters.

In the Rochester area, the exterior painting window runs roughly from late spring through fall, when temperatures and humidity let coatings cure properly.
