Antioch Siding and the Lake Effect
Antioch sits close to the Chain O'Lakes. That means more moisture, more mildew, and more wear on your siding than homes further south.
Wood siding that traps moisture
Older Antioch homes have cedar and pine siding. The lakeside humidity makes wood swell and shrink. We use primer that flexes with the wood.
Hardboard siding from the 80s and 90s
Hardboard siding was popular in Antioch subdivisions built in the 80s. It soaks up moisture at the bottom edges. We prime those edges before paint.
Mildew on north-facing walls
Lake moisture and shade make mildew grow on north-facing siding. We wash it off with bleach solution before we paint.
Siding near the lake needs paint that can handle the freeze-thaw cycle. We use exterior paints with elastomeric properties for Antioch homes.

The Siding Types Antioch Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three siding types. Same crew and same prep on all of them.
Wood siding and clapboard
Cedar and pine siding on older Antioch homes. We prime every bare spot and use paint that penetrates the wood grain. Often part of a larger exterior painting project.
Hardboard and Masonite siding
This was the standard in Antioch subdivisions in the 80s. We seal the bottom edges where moisture gets in, then paint.
Vinyl siding repainting
Faded vinyl siding painted with vinyl-safe paint that won't melt or peel. Often paired with deck staining.

What People Complain About, and What You Get
Almost every siding call opens with one of these. Here's the problem on the left, and what the house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Old paint that's cracked and peeling. It doesn't stop until the loose stuff is scraped off and the bare wood is primed.
The side that gets sun all day fades faster than the rest. The house ends up two shades of the same color.
Shade and lake moisture leave black spots on the siding. Paint won't stick to mildew.
What you get
Scraped, sanded, primed and two coated. The new finish lasts through the freeze-thaw cycles.
Two coats on every side. No fading difference between south and north.
Power washed with bleach solution. Mildew is gone before the paint goes on.
True on every Antioch siding job we take:
What the House Looks Like When We Leave
No peeling paint. No fading. Just a clean, evenly painted house that looks new from the street.
