A Thicker Layer of Protection
Duration is formulated to provide a thicker, more flexible coating than ordinary exterior latex paint. That added film build is a major reason we choose it for residential exteriors.

The Brown Way of Exterior Painting
More Than a Fresh Coat of Paint
A great exterior paint job does more than change the color of your home. It protects the siding, trim and exterior surfaces against years of sun, rain, humidity and changing Midwest temperatures.
We approach exterior painting the same way we approach every exterior improvement: proper preparation, quality materials and workmanship that doesn’t cut corners.
That’s why Sherwin-Williams Duration® Exterior is our preferred house paint.
Exterior Surfaces We Paint
- Wood siding and exterior trim
- Engineered wood siding
- Fiber cement siding
- Compatible vinyl siding
- Fascia, soffits and exterior architectural details
- Doors, shutters and appropriate exterior accents
Each surface receives the preparation, primer and coating system appropriate for its material and condition.
Sherwin-Williams Duration® Exterior
Why We Choose Sherwin-Williams Duration®
Not all exterior paints are formulated the same, and the difference goes beyond the price per gallon. Duration is a premium acrylic exterior coating engineered with Sherwin-Williams PermaLast® technology. Its thicker protective film is designed for outstanding durability, excellent coverage and strong resistance to cracking, peeling and blistering.
Excellent Resistance to Peeling and Blistering
When correctly applied over sound, properly prepared surfaces, Duration provides excellent protection against cracking, peeling and blistering.
Built for Midwest Weather
Hot summers, cold winters, rain and humidity create challenging conditions for exterior paint. Duration provides a durable, mildew-resistant coating designed for long-term exterior performance.
Excellent Coverage
Duration is designed for one-coat performance on qualifying repaints and two coats on new, unpainted work. Additional preparation, primer or finish coats may be appropriate depending on the surface condition and color change.
A Wide Selection of Colors and Finishes
From classic whites and warm neutrals to striking modern colors, Duration offers attractive options for siding, trim and exterior details. Compatible Sherwin-Williams VinylSafe® colors also expand certain vinyl siding repainting options.
Our Recommendation
Why Duration Over Standard Exterior Paint
Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint is a good exterior paint. It offers solid protection and attractive results.
We choose to make the additional investment in Duration because of its heavier protective film, strong durability characteristics and premium repaint performance.
The difference is in the protection we’re putting on your home — not simply the color we’re putting on your siding.
Product features are Sherwin-Williams’ published claims. One-coat performance applies to qualifying repaints, not every surface or color change. Sherwin-Williams’ product warranty is conditional and separate from Brown Roofing’s workmanship warranty, which is stated in your contract. Some surfaces — such as cedar, stained or damaged wood, or rusted metal — may need separate primers or preparation.
Our Process
Great Exterior Painting Starts Before the First Coat
Even premium paint cannot make up for improper preparation.
Why Painting and Exterior Repairs Should Go Together
A fresh coat of paint should never be used to conceal failing wood, deteriorated trim or moisture damage. Before painting, we identify visible conditions that need attention. Addressing those problems first helps protect your investment and produces a better finished project.
A quality exterior paint job is the result of both the materials you can see and the preparation underneath them.
- Exterior InspectionWe evaluate siding, trim, peeling paint, failing caulk, exposed wood and other areas that may require attention.
- Cleaning and Surface PreparationSurfaces are cleaned as necessary to remove dirt, mildew and contaminants. Loose and failing paint is removed, and appropriate surfaces are scraped and sanded.
- Wood Repair, Caulking and PrimingDeteriorated materials are identified for repair or replacement. Gaps and joints are addressed where appropriate, and surfaces receive the primers required for proper adhesion and protection.
- Premium Paint ApplicationWe apply the specified coating system using Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior wherever appropriate for the surface, following product requirements for coverage, temperature, drying and recoating.
- Final InspectionWe review the finished work for coverage, appearance, detailing and cleanup.
Wood Rot Repair
Wood Rot Is a Construction Problem — Not a Painting Problem.
Don’t Just Cover the Damage. Correct the Problem.
A painter can make deteriorated wood look better. But repairing wood rot properly requires understanding how your home is constructed, how water enters, and how the exterior components work together.
At Brown Roofing, LLC, we’re exterior remodeling contractors first. We know how siding, trim, fascia, soffits, flashing and structural components are supposed to work together to protect your home.
When we discover wood rot, we don’t simply fill it, caulk it and paint over it. We evaluate the damage, identify potential moisture sources, and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Our goal is to restore the integrity of the affected exterior assembly — using appropriate materials, proper installation methods, applicable building codes and manufacturer specifications.
Because a beautiful paint job should be the finishing touch — not a cover-up for construction problems.
- 1Identify & Remove the Damage
- 2Find & Correct Moisture Entry
- 3Replace With Compatible Materials
- 4Prime, Seal & Finish
We Repair the Problem Before We Cover It
A fresh coat of paint will not correct decaying wood or moisture damage, and deteriorated exterior components left untreated can allow further damage. Brown Roofing evaluates damaged exterior materials, sets the repair scope and installs replacement products designed to integrate with the existing home.
What We Repair
- Fascia boards and roof-edge trim
- Soffits and exterior eaves
- Window and door exterior trim
- Corner boards and decorative exterior trim
- Wood and engineered wood siding
- Other exterior wood components
- Structural repairs when required and properly evaluated
Our Standards
- Evaluate and address contributing moisture sources within the agreed repair scope.
- Remove unsound wood where replacement is required.
- Use appropriately rated replacement materials.
- Follow manufacturer-required clearances, fastening, flashing and installation procedures.
- Protect exposed surfaces with appropriate primers and finish coatings.
- Respect ventilation and drainage details rather than sealing openings that are meant to work.
- If hidden damage is found during removal, document and review the additional work with you before proceeding.
Matching the Existing Home
Whenever practical, replacement components are selected to match the existing material, dimensions, profile and finished appearance — considering the original building assembly, current building requirements and the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
| Existing material | Repair approach |
|---|---|
| Natural wood trim | Matching wood species, dimensions and profile where appropriate |
| Engineered wood siding | Manufacturer-compatible replacement product and installation |
| Fiber cement | Compatible fiber-cement replacement, fasteners and joint treatment |
| Cellular PVC trim | Approved PVC trim system with correct fastening and movement allowances |
| Structural wood | Evaluate the extent of decay and repair or replace to applicable structural requirements |
