Mac Grove Painting recently completed an exterior trim painting project on a beautiful stucco home in North Oaks, Minnesota — one of the Twin Cities’ most prestigious lakeside communities, known for its custom luxury estates and high standards for craftsmanship. The scope of work focused on the home’s wooden trim, which required careful attention to surface preparation before any coating was applied. The team began with a thorough pressure washing of the entire exterior trim to remove dirt, debris, and any weathered coating buildup, ensuring a clean foundation for the work ahead.

With the surfaces properly cleaned and prepped, Mac Grove Painting applied a full coat of exterior wood bonding primer to all wooden trim components. This critical priming step promotes superior adhesion and seals the wood against moisture — especially important in Minnesota’s demanding climate, where freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal humidity can accelerate paint failure on exterior surfaces. Once the primer was fully cured, the team top coated the trim with Sherwin-Williams Emerald Exterior, a premium outdoor paint renowned for its exceptional durability, fade resistance, and rich finish. The result is a clean, polished look that complements the home’s stucco exterior and blends seamlessly with the wooded, upscale character of the North Oaks neighborhood.

This project reflects Mac Grove Painting’s commitment to doing exterior painting the right way — prioritizing thorough prep work and professional-grade materials over shortcuts. For homeowners in North Oaks and throughout the greater Minneapolis–Saint Paul area looking for residential exterior painting services that combine lasting protection with refined curb appeal, Mac Grove Painting delivers results built to last.
