Project Spotlight: Long-Lasting Exterior Update for Lutheran Brethren Church in Nampa

January 1, 2024

We recently had the privilege of working with Lutheran Brethren Church in Nampa, where they needed a full exterior refresh to keep their building welcoming, clean, and well-protected from Idaho’s elements. Knowing that churches are high-traffic community spaces, we recommended Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Rain Refresh paint, one of the most advanced exterior paints available today. This product doesn’t just look great—it’s built with Self-Cleaning Technology™ that naturally resists mildew, blistering, and peeling, helping the church maintain a clean, fresh appearance year-round with minimal upkeep.

Here’s What We Did:

Thorough Prep: We started by pressure-washing all surfaces to remove dirt and debris, then scraped and primed bare spots with a concrete primer to ensure the best paint adhesion possible.
Flexible Caulking: Using MAXFLEX™ Acrylic Urethane Elastomeric caulk, we sealed all vulnerable spots around windows, doors, and fascia. This advanced caulking is twice as flexible as standard caulk, providing better protection against Idaho’s changing seasons.
Two Coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Rain Refresh: This top-of-the-line exterior paint was applied to all stucco surfaces for a rich, even finish that stands up to dirt and water. Its Self-Cleaning Technology™ means any dirt will wash away with the rain, helping the building stay looking fresh for years.
Upgraded Trim & Doors: For a polished touch, we used Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel on the church’s entry doors, giving them a durable, high-quality finish to match the rest of the exterior.

Why This Project Matters:

By addressing peeling paint and water-intrusion risks, our work ensures that the Lutheran Brethren Church is not only refreshed but also protected. With a life expectancy of over 12 years, the Sherwin Williams Emerald Rain Refresh Exterior Paint will help maintain the building’s welcoming appearance for years to come. The self-cleaning formula is especially helpful for reducing maintenance needs, which lets the church focus on its community mission without worrying about frequent exterior upkeep.
