Around here, this is the job
Oceanfront and Sandbridge houses eat paint. Inland Chesapeake houses still get humidity and storms. We talk about scrape, prime, and the right coating — not just a color chip.
How we do it
- 01
Look at the substrate, not just the color
Rot, open joints, and failed caulk get called out before we paint over them.
- 02
Prep for this climate
Wash, scrape, prime bare wood, and recaulk. That is the job. Color is the last 20%.
- 03
Protect plantings and neighbors
HOA streets and tight lots mean we mask, contain, and do not paint the mailbox by accident.
- 04
Weather window, then we go
We do not fight a week of rain to hit an arbitrary date. The coating needs the right day.
What this usually includes
- Exterior painting
- Fascia, soffit, and trim repairs we can see
- Entry and shutter refresh
- Small siding repairs tied to the paint scope
- Front-porch and stoop tidy-up as part of the job
Questions we get
Will you paint in the oceanfront salt spray?
Yes, with the right prep and coating, and with honest talk about how often oceanfront paint needs love compared to a house off the water.
Can you just paint the front?
Yes. A lot of homeowners start with the street side. We will still check the rest so you are not surprised later.
