Why does coastal Mobile County need waterproofing with the paint?
St. Margaret's sits in Bayou La Batre, a working coastal community in Mobile County right on the Gulf Coast, where salt-laden Mobile Bay air and heavy humidity are hard on any older building. That climate is exactly why we pair waterproofing with the paint on historic exteriors here — sealing the masonry and wood so they shed water instead of soaking it up is what gives the finish, and the structure beneath it, real staying power. It's the same approach we bring to historic and commercial buildings throughout the area, from the coastal south end of the county up to the storied facades along the Government Street historic corridor in the city of Mobile. You can see more of this work on our commercial painting page and across our wider Mobile service area.
