Montrose siding takes wind and west sun. We paint for both.
The wind through Post Falls drives dust and rain into every siding joint, and the afternoon sun cooks the west wall. Both change how we prep.

Montrose sits where the wind coming down the Rathdrum Prairie has a clear run at the houses. Wind-driven rain works into open caulk lines and the horizontal joints on T1-11 siding, and that is where paint fails first here. So our prep leans hard on caulking: every joint, every nail head, every trim seam before a drop of paint goes on.
The other half of the story is the west sun. Afternoon exposure fades and chalks the west wall a full cycle ahead of the rest of the house, so we two-coat that side and use fade-resistant tints. The homes themselves are mostly post-war ranchers and split-levels with cedar shake accents, and they hold paint well once the joints are tight.
The usual Montrose job list.

Climate & prep considerations
Prairie wind drives moisture into siding joints, and west walls take heavy afternoon sun. Thorough caulking and fade-resistant tints on exposed sides.
