Prepping for Transformation: Colonial Exterior Staining in Sea Foam Green

Another Restoration in Progress by Connecticut Painters United

At Connecticut Painters United, we don’t just paint houses — we restore New England charm one home at a time. This week, we began the transformation of a beautiful colonial home right here in Connecticut, preparing it for a full exterior stain using Sherwin-Williams WoodScapes® in the elegant, nature-inspired color Sea Foam.

🎯 The Goal:

This colonial had a classic structure and beautiful wood siding, but years of weather exposure left the surface faded and worn. Our goal? Bring it back to life with a fresh, protective, and breathable finish that enhances its curb appeal while standing up to Connecticut’s four seasons.

🪵 Why WoodScapes Exterior Stain?

Sherwin-Williams WoodScapes is a premium choice for staining wood siding. It penetrates deep into the wood grain, allowing the natural texture to show while delivering superior protection against moisture, UV rays, and mildew. It’s also designed to expand and contract with the wood, reducing cracking and peeling over time.

🔨 Prep Work in Progress:

Before applying any stain, our team is carefully:

✔ Power washing the surface to remove dirt, algae, and chalking

✔ Scraping and sanding any peeling or loose areas

✔ Replacing or repairing any damaged wood sections

✔ Protecting all trim, windows, and landscaping with drop cloths and masking

✔ Planning for an even two-coat application to ensure rich, lasting color

👀 Before the Magic Happens:

The “before” shot captures the home in its raw state — aged wood, faded color, and years of wear. But don’t let that fool you. With expert prep and a high-quality product like WoodScapes, this colonial is about to get a bold new lease on life in a refreshing Sea Foam green that complements both its historic character and its natural surroundings.

📆 Stay tuned for the “after” photos — this transformation is going to be one for the books!
