Residential Exterior Painting in New Orleans, LA

New Orleans pairs humid subtropical climate with a housing stock that includes a lot of pre-1978 inventory, which is why EPA RRP Lead-Safe protocols matter here from prep to cleanup. The French Quarter, Marigny, and Uptown homes with their cypress siding, plaster interiors, and wood-trim galleries demand a slower, more deliberate prep than newer Lakeview construction, and the river-and-lake position keeps moisture loading high year-round.

Our work pattern across the city follows the neighborhood. The historic cores pull interior repaints, careful exterior prep on shotgun and Creole cottages, and trim restoration on details that don't exist in newer markets; Lakeview, Algiers, and the post-Katrina rebuilds lean toward full exterior repaints, cabinet refreshes, and the larger interior packages that come with renovations.

New Orleans is roughly 140 miles west of Mobile, so we run it as a Mobile-dispatched job rather than a Spanish Fort day trip, and we size the project so the travel is honest for everyone. We schedule around French Quarter access restrictions, Mardi Gras and festival windows, and the parking realities that shape every job in the older neighborhoods.

New Orleans homes average roughly 64 years old, and many in the Garden District, Uptown, and Mid-City predate 1978, so exteriors carry thick layered paint, chalked older coats, and lead-based finishes on original wood siding, brackets, and trim. We work Lead-Safe certified, containing and cleaning up dust on any pre-1978 house. About 45 inches of rain a year and a July climate near 92 degrees bake and fade south and west walls while shaded faces hold damp and grow mildew, and Gulf storm systems drive rain into every aging seam. We pressure-wash, scrape and spot-prime failing paint to a sound edge, itemize rotted trim and siding for replacement, treat mildew, re-caulk leaking joints, and match a coastal-rated system to each exposure so the finish ages evenly across an old house.

One crew runs every step, the same faces from the walkthrough to the final cleanup, so your home isn't handed off partway through, and they train as a team each week. A manager signs off on the finished exterior before the final payment is due. The work carries a 3-year workmanship warranty plus a 100% satisfaction guarantee, on top of the Lead-Safe care these older homes require. That consistency is reflected in our 4.8★ rating across 304 Google reviews. Phone (251) 621-1100 for a free in-home estimate, and your written quote follows within 24 hours.
