This house was in very bad shape. It had probably been 15 or 20 years since it was painted. I had to replace a few rotten boards and performed a massive amount of prep work on the house.
(Here you can see a replaced fascia board and a lot of scraped paint)
(This corner had a lot of failing paint and some rotten wood)
(Here the corner has been replaced and failing paint removed)
(Here is the corner after sanding, caulking, and priming)
(This is the view from the front of the house)
