Exterior Painting

Sun off the bay, salt in the air, and a summer that holds humidity like a wet towel — the Gulf Coast is hard on an exterior, and it shows up first on the sides that take the weather. A repaint here is a prep job with a coat of paint at the end, not the other way around.

These posts get into the failures we see most: chalking, mildew and algae, the south and west walls fading before the rest, Hardie board and limewash brick, decks that need stripping before they can be finished. There's a 72-hour plan for protecting fresh paint before a storm, and a straight read on the warning signs that say it's time to repaint.

It's the field knowledge behind every exterior we back with our 3-year workmanship warranty.
