At Fourmi Rouge, we provide professional exterior painting services in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, the South Shore, Blainville, Terrebonne, Mirabel, Brossard, and surrounding areas. We follow a detailed preparation and painting process that includes surface inspection, pressure washing, scraping peeling paint, sanding, repairs, caulking, priming, precision edging, and high-quality paint application for a smooth, durable, and weather-resistant finish. We use premium exterior paints and professional-grade materials to protect your property against Québec’s harsh climate while enhancing curb appeal and long-term value. Whether you need house painting, exterior siding painting, trim painting, fence painting, garage painting, or full exterior repainting, Fourmi Rouge delivers reliable, high-quality exterior painting services tailored to your property and built to last.
1. Inspect the exterior surfaces

Check siding, trim, doors, windows, corners, fascia, railings, and other exterior areas for peeling paint, cracks, holes, moisture, mildew, rot, or damage.

2. Protect the surrounding area

Cover plants, walkways, decks, windows, lights, outdoor furniture, and nearby surfaces with drop cloths, plastic, and painter’s tape.

3. Clean the surfaces

Remove dirt, dust, mildew, grease, cobwebs, and loose debris. Pressure washing may be used when needed to create a clean surface.

4. Remove loose paint

Scrape peeling, flaking, or bubbling paint until the surface is solid and ready for preparation.

5. Sand rough areas

Sand edges, rough spots, and scraped areas to create a smooth transition and improve paint adhesion.

6. Repair damaged areas

Fill cracks, holes, gaps, and damaged sections with the appropriate exterior filler or patching material. Replace severely damaged wood if needed.

7. Caulk gaps and joints

Apply exterior-grade caulking around windows, doors, trim, siding joints, and corners to seal gaps and protect against moisture.

8. Prime bare or repaired surfaces

Apply primer to bare wood, metal, repaired areas, stains, or surfaces where old paint has been removed.

9. Cut in detailed areas

Use a brush to paint edges, corners, trim lines, around windows, doors, and areas where a roller or sprayer cannot reach.

10. Apply the first coat

Apply high-quality exterior paint using a brush, roller, or sprayer, depending on the surface and project requirements.

11. Apply the second coat

After the first coat dries properly, apply a second coat for stronger coverage, richer colour, and longer-lasting protection.

12. Paint trim, doors, and details

Paint exterior trim, doors, shutters, frames, railings, and decorative details with care for a clean, finished look.

13. Inspect and touch up

Check all surfaces for missed spots, uneven coverage, drips, or rough areas, and complete all necessary touch-ups.

14. Clean up and final walkthrough

Remove protective coverings, clean the work area, and complete a final walkthrough to ensure a smooth, durable, and professional exterior finish.
