Prep is the entire job

Exterior paint fails for two reasons: it went on over a dirty surface, or it went on over loose paint. Neither is about the quality of the paint. Charlotte's combination of heat, humidity and pollen makes both worse, and a house that was "painted two years ago" but is peeling almost always got skipped prep, not cheap paint.

  • Wash to remove dirt, chalking, pollen and mildew.
  • Scrape and sand anything loose or failing back to a sound edge.
  • Repair rotted trim and failed caulk — paint over rot is just a nicer-looking rot.
  • Caulk joints and gaps that let water in behind the finish.
  • Prime bare wood and any stains that would bleed.
  • Paint — two coats where the surface calls for it.

Timing it right

Exterior paint needs reasonable temperature and dry surfaces to cure properly. In Charlotte that means spring and fall are ideal, summer works if we start early and follow the shade around the house, and we watch the forecast rather than starting a wall that's about to get rained on. Painting a damp surface is how you get a finish that peels in a year.

Questions people ask

Exterior Painting FAQs

How often does a house need repainting in Charlotte?

Roughly every five to ten years for most siding, depending on sun exposure, the substrate and how well the last job was prepped. South- and west-facing walls always fail first — sometimes those need attention years before the rest of the house does.

Do you pressure wash first?

We wash the house before painting. On older siding we use lower pressure deliberately, because a strong pressure washer can drive water behind the siding and damage soft wood — which causes worse problems than the dirt it removed.

Do you repair rotted trim?

Yes, and it needs to happen before paint. Painting over rot hides it for a season and then the same board fails again, usually taking the new paint with it.

What time of year is best?

Spring and fall are ideal. Summer is workable if we start early and follow the shade. We watch the forecast and don't paint surfaces that are damp or about to be rained on.

How long does it take?

Most single-family homes run several days to about a week depending on size, how much prep and repair is needed, and weather. You'll get a schedule before we start.
