Exterior Painting & Staining in Lanark County
Your home's exterior takes a beating from Ottawa Valley winters, summer sun and lake-country moisture. McIntosh Painting paints and stains exteriors across Lanark County, the Rideau Lakes and North Frontenac. Board-and-batten and lap siding, trim and soffits, doors and porches, cottages, log homes and cedar. We prep properly and use coatings built to hold their colour and shed water for years.
Siding, trim & doors
We pressure-wash, scrape and sand failing paint, spot-prime bare and stained areas, and caulk gaps before a drop of colour goes on. Then we spray and back-brush siding for even coverage and a tight, protective film. Crisp white trim against a deep navy or charcoal body is one of our favourite looks, and it makes a home look freshly built.
Cottages, log homes & cedar staining
Natural wood needs the right product and the right timing. We stain and re-stain cottages, log homes, cedar shingle siding, board-and-batten and timber to feed the wood and protect it from UV and moisture. From a warm honey cedar to a dramatic black-stained modern cabin, we match the finish to the wood and the look you want.
Porches, decks & outbuildings
Porch floors, railings, sheds, bunkies, saunas and outbuildings all get the same attention as the main house. A painted porch floor or a freshly stained bunkie ties a property together and stands up to boots, weather and lake-country life.
Built for the weather here
We choose exterior coatings for real Lanark County conditions. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow load, strong summer sun and waterfront humidity. Proper prep plus the right product is the difference between a finish that lasts many seasons and one that peels in two. We serve homes and cottages throughout Lanark County and the surrounding lakes.

What Lanark County Homeowners Say
Homeowners and cottagers across Lanark County, the Ottawa Valley and the Rideau Lakes trust McIntosh Painting & Maintenance for honest, quality work.
“Steve repainted the whole interior of our century home and the trim work is flawless. He covered everything, kept it spotless, and finished right on schedule. Honest, hardworking and a pleasure to have in our home.”
“Our old barn roof was rusting badly. MPM treated the rust, primed it and painted it a beautiful fresh red. It looks brand new and stopped the leaks. Fair price and done safely at height. Highly recommend.”
“They restored our tired grey cottage deck and dock back to a rich, warm brown. Sanded, repaired a few boards, and stained it perfectly. It looks incredible and the wood is protected again. So happy we called.”
“Steve sprayed our kitchen cabinets and painted the main floor. The cabinets look factory-finished. No brush marks anywhere. Clean, on time, and the price was exactly what he quoted.”
“Had the popcorn ceilings removed and skim-coated in our living room and hall. I was dreading the mess but they sealed everything off and it was surprisingly clean. Ceilings look smooth and modern now.”
“MPM painted the exterior of our home a deep navy with white trim and it stopped traffic. Proper prep, great colour advice, and it still looks perfect two winters later. Local, honest and reliable.”

Exterior Painting Questions
When is the best time to paint or stain an exterior in Ontario? +
Late spring through early fall, when temperatures and humidity let coatings cure properly. We book exterior work through the warm season and plan around the weather so the finish sets up right.
Do you stain log homes and cedar? +
Yes. Cottages, log homes, cedar shingle and board-and-batten are a specialty. We match the stain to the wood and the look you're after, from natural honey tones to dramatic black.
Can you reach high peaks, gables and second storeys? +
Yes. We're Working-at-Heights and aerial/boom-lift certified, so tall gables, peaks and hard-to-reach areas are no problem and get done safely.
