Buffalo winters are legendary, and your home's exterior bears the brunt of lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer humidity. Professional exterior painting isn't just about curb appeal—it's a critical defense against moisture infiltration, wood rot, and structural deterioration that can cost thousands in repairs down the line.
Lake Effect Painting & Co. delivers comprehensive exterior solutions that include walls, siding, trim, decks, and fences, all backed by thorough prep work and weather protection systems designed for Western New York's unique climate. Properly maintained exterior paint extends the lifespan of wood siding by 10 to 15 years, a crucial factor when you consider Buffalo's temperature extremes.
From Victorian mansions on Delaware Avenue to bungalows in North Buffalo, they understand how different materials—cedar shakes, fiber cement, aluminum—respond to weather and which coatings provide the best long-term performance.
Buffalo's Climate Demands Expert Exterior Care
Buffalo averages over 95 inches of snow annually, and the freeze-thaw cycle wreaks havoc on exterior surfaces. Water seeps into cracks, expands as it freezes, and causes paint to blister and peel—leaving wood exposed to rot and insect damage. Your home needs more than a cosmetic refresh; it requires a multi-step defense strategy.
You'll see the difference with comprehensive surface preparation: power washing to remove dirt and mildew, scraping and sanding to eliminate loose paint, caulking gaps around windows and trim, and applying primers formulated to block moisture and stains. Exterior coatings applied over properly prepped surfaces resist peeling up to 70 percent longer than those applied to untreated wood. Whether you're painting a historic Elmwood Village double or a ranch in Kaisertown, the crew tailors products and techniques to your home's architecture and exposure.
