Exterior paint works harder here
Homes near the Cape Fear River and the beaches face salt air, high humidity, intense summer sun and hurricane season from June 1 through November 30. Those conditions fade color, trap moisture under paint and open gaps around trim and windows.
A durable exterior starts with preparation that fits those conditions, and with products made for the specific surface, whether it is wood, fiber cement, metal railings or masonry.
- Surfaces washed to remove dirt, salt and mildew
- Loose or peeling paint scraped and sanded
- Joints, trim and window frames caulked and sealed
- Bare wood and repairs primed before finish coats

Exterior painting questions
When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Wilmington?
Spring and fall usually offer the best mix of mild temperatures and lower humidity. Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and the right temperature range to cure, so we schedule around rain, heavy dew and extreme heat.
Do you pressure wash before painting?
Yes. Cleaning the surface is part of exterior prep. Dirt, salt residue and mildew prevent new paint from bonding properly.
What if you find rotted wood or damaged siding?
We point it out before painting so you can decide how to handle it. Painting over rot hides the problem without fixing it.
Do you paint fiber cement siding like HardiePlank?
Yes. Fiber cement, wood siding, trim, shutters, doors and porches are all part of exterior painting. We choose a product suited to each surface.
