Exterior Painting in Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati
Durable, weather-ready exterior painting for siding, trim, and porches, backed by real surface preparation.
Exterior Painting That Holds Up
Hearts & Hands Painting provides exterior painting for homeowners across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, covering siding, trim, shutters, doors, and porch surfaces. As house painters working in a region with real seasonal swings, we pay close attention to surface condition and weather timing so the finish holds up over time.
Exterior surfaces take on sun, moisture, and temperature changes that interior walls never see, which is why exterior prep looks different from interior prep. Have a deck too? Many homeowners pair exterior painting with our Deck Staining & Wood Coatings service. You can see examples of our finished exterior painting projects in our project gallery.

Our Exterior Painting Process
Exterior painting succeeds or fails based on preparation and timing, not just the number of coats applied.
1
Washing & Cleaning
Siding and trim are washed to remove dirt, pollen, and mildew before any prep work starts.
2
Scraping
Loose or peeling paint is scraped away from affected areas.
3
Sanding
Rough edges left from scraping are sanded smooth for a clean transition.
4
Removing Failing Coatings
Coatings that are no longer adhering properly are removed rather than painted over.
5
Caulking
Gaps around trim, siding joints, and openings are caulked to help keep moisture out.
6
Priming Exposed Substrates
Bare wood, patched areas, or other exposed substrate are primed before topcoats go on.
7
Weather-Timed, Exterior-Grade Application
We match the paint to your siding, trim and what’s already on the house. Benjamin Moore is our go-to, with other professional products when the surface calls for it. And we only paint when the weather is right for the product.

“Excellent job of prepping and painting our old farmhouse wrap-around porch. Went from an old red color to gray with white pillars. Looks great. Loved that the contractor booked with us in the fall for a spring painting and he followed through.”

Exterior Painting FAQ
How long does exterior painting take?
Most single-family homes take a few days to about a week, depending on size, surface condition, and weather. We will give you a project-specific timeline with your estimate.
What time of year is best for exterior painting?
We paint when the temperature and moisture are right for the coatings we use, which usually means the warmer, drier months here. We plan your schedule around the weather.
Will you paint over peeling or failing paint?
No. Loose or failing paint is scraped and, where needed, removed before priming and painting so the new coating has a stable surface to bond to.
Do you pressure wash before painting?
Yes. Siding and trim are washed to remove dirt, pollen, and mildew before we begin any prep work.
What surfaces do you paint?
Most jobs include siding, trim, shutters, doors and porches. Your estimate spells out exactly what’s included.
Do you match existing exterior colors?
We can match your existing color or help you select a new scheme as part of the estimate process.
