Our Favorite Exterior Paints From Sherwin Williams

When it comes to painting the exterior of your home, there are multiple product options. In this case, we are making a list of some of the exterior paint products we love to use from Sherwin-Williams.

Best Paint for Siding (Wood, Vinyl, Hardie etc.):

• Sherwin-Williams Emerald: This is the top-shelf paint from Sherwin-Williams. It has all of the great qualities of other Sherwin paints, but it is also great at holding color and preventing fading when the sun hits the house. However, because of its price, only a small portion of our clients choose to use it. (For vinyl, ask for vinyl-safe colors before buying any paint for your project.)

Best Stain for Wood Siding:

• Sherwin Williams WoodScapes: This is the best water-based stain for protecting wood from normal wear and tear. It is only intended for use on vertical surfaces (soffits are also okay).

Best Paint for Stucco or Brick:

• Sherwin Williams Loxon XP: There are multiple ways of painting stucco or brick, but our favorite one is Loxon XP. This is an elastomeric coating, which makes it more flexible than normal latex paint and helps prevent cracks in the long run. This coating also needs to be applied with a big paint sprayer 695 on Graco or bigger since it's super tick. Also, it needs to be backrolled in to achieve an even look.

Best Paint for Garage Doors:

• Sherwin Williams Multi-Surface: Multi-surface is a great coating for multiple uses since it sticks really well to almost any surface. This makes it amazing for garage doors or aluminum soffits, gutters, and fascia.

Best Paint for Decks:

• Sherwin Williams Superdecks: This is our go-to stain for decks. It also comes with multiple choices, from transparent to solid stain. It is a grat choice for horizontal surfaces since it is made to withstand a lot of wear and tear. 

Our Most Used Siding Paint:

• Sherwin-Williams Superpaint Exterior: This is our favorite paint, and we always recommend it for most exterior projects.
