The condition decides the system, not the label
What's underneath the old paint, moisture, chalking, failed caulk, sun exposure, decides the prep and coating system more than any brand name does.
Put this in the scope
- Existing conditions and likely cause
- Preparation and protection

Cary context
The useful thing to know about painting in Cary is that timing tends to arrive by neighborhood rather than by house. Because so much of the town was built to a plan within a comparatively narrow span, the original siding and trim on a street commonly reach the end of their coating life together -- which is also why exterior color and material are frequently subject to homeowner association approval here, a step worth confirming before anything is scheduled. The climate then decides the result. Humid Piedmont summers and the mature landscaping that shades these neighborhoods keep siding damp long after storms, so mildew on shaded elevations is the recurring failure rather than fading, and sealing it under new paint is the common mistake. Complex rooflines add a real practical cost, because multiple gables and dormers mean more trim, more access and more of the detail work where failures actually start.
