There’s nothing quite like driving up to your home and seeing it look brand new. That’s exactly what we delivered for this recent exterior project in Upper Marlboro, MD — a full transformation that touched the screened porch, concrete stairs, foundation walls, and even a backyard swing set.
At ARM Premium Painting, we don’t just apply paint — we restore pride in your property. Here’s a full look at how this project came together, from faded and worn to fresh and polished.
The Challenge: Years of Wear Showing on Every Surface
When we first assessed this property, the exterior told the story of time. The screened porch trim had gone from crisp to a dull, yellowed finish. The concrete stair surround was stained and weathered. The foundation stucco had lost its color. Each surface needed more than a quick coat — it needed proper prep, the right materials, and experienced hands.
Our Process: Prep First, Paint Second
We never skip prep — it’s where a lasting finish is earned. Before a single brush touched the surfaces, our crew cleaned and deglossed all surfaces to ensure proper adhesion, caulked gaps and cracks in the foundation and trim, masked off screens, grass lines, and adjacent surfaces to protect them, and applied a quality primer coat where needed before the topcoat.
For this project, we used Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior — one of the most durable exterior paints on the market, built to hold up against Maryland’s humid summers and cold winters. The right paint matters as much as the right technique.
The Results: A Complete Exterior Refresh
Screened Porch — A Total Facelift
The screened porch was the most visible transformation on this project. We painted the fascia, trim boards, and base panel a fresh, clean white — making the entire structure look like it was built last week. The contrast against the gray metal roof and dark screens is dramatic and intentional.
Concrete Stairs & Surround — Crisp and Clean
The stair surround walls were scrubbed, primed, and painted in a smooth gray finish that ties into the home’s overall exterior palette. The result is a clean, intentional look — not just “painted,” but finished.
Foundation Stucco — Protected and Polished
The foundation walls were painted in SW7659 Gris, a sophisticated gray-green that grounds the home and provides excellent protection against moisture and wear. What looked like cracked and faded concrete now looks solid and intentional.
Backyard Swing Set — A Bonus Touch
We painted the metal A-frame swing set in the backyard as part of this project — a detail that the kids (and parents) will appreciate. A fresh coat of gray paint protects the metal from rust and makes the whole backyard feel more put-together.
