How does Alexandria Beige (HC-77) look in PNW light?

Alexandria Beige is a sophisticated earthy neutral that maintains its depth under overcast Washington skies, avoiding the washed-out look of lighter tans.

Why is back-rolling necessary for cedar siding?

Back-rolling forces the paint into the wood grain, ensuring 100% adhesion and preventing the peeling often seen in spray-only applications.

Phase 3: Precision Application & Details

Our hand-rolling and back-brushing method ensures that the paint bonds deeply with the cedar grain. We pay special attention to high-exposure areas like roof flashing, garage door casings, and belly band flashing to prevent moisture intrusion.
