The Right Paint Job for an Older Wausau Home
Plenty of Wausau houses predate 1978, and that changes how a paint job should be handled. A local painting contractor partner does it right.
Painting Services in Wausau
Interior, exterior, and specialty painting from a contractor partner who preps like it matters.
Interior Painting
Clean, even coverage for rooms, ceilings, and trim with sharp lines and no holidays. Good interior work is mostly prep: patching, sanding, and priming before the color goes on.
Exterior Painting
Exterior coatings chosen for sun, rain, and freeze-thaw cycling. Proper scraping, priming bare wood, and caulking are what separate a five-year paint job from a fifteen-year one.
Cabinet Painting
Factory-smooth refinishing for kitchen and bathroom cabinets at a fraction of replacement cost. Degreasing and bonding primer are the non-negotiable steps.
Drywall Repair
Patching holes, cracks, and old water damage so walls are flat before paint. A paint job over lumpy walls just highlights every flaw.
Deck & Fence Staining
Staining and sealing that protects wood from moisture and UV. In this climate, horizontal surfaces need attention every few years or they go gray and start checking.
Commercial Painting
Painting for offices, retail, and commercial buildings around Wausau. Scheduled around your business hours to keep disruption down.
A third of Wausau's housing stock went up before lead paint was banned, and scraping one of those homes like it's new construction is a mistake.

Once paint fails, moisture gets in and the damage compounds. Reach out before a scrape-and-paint turns into a siding repair.

Very likely, yes. Homes built before 1978 often have lead paint under newer layers. Federal rules require lead-safe work practices, and a responsible contractor follows them without being asked.
Roughly May through September, when temperatures stay in the right range day and night for paint to cure. Fall rushes happen because everyone remembers at once.
With proper prep, 8 to 15 years depending on exposure and material. South and west sides weather fastest. A cheap job that skips prep might look tired in three.
The crew moves and covers furniture as part of the job. You just need to clear small valuables and wall hangings. Good crews leave the room cleaner than they found it.
Interiors, yes — winter is actually a fine time for indoor work and schedules are more open. Exteriors need to wait for proper temperatures.
Coverage, hide, and longevity. Quality paint covers in fewer coats and resists fading and scrubbing far better. On labor-intensive work like exteriors, the paint cost is a small fraction of the total.
No, painting doesn't require a permit. If the project uncovers rot or structural issues that need repair, that's a separate conversation.
