Exterior Painting in Bay Minette, AL

Beautiful exterior paint job in Bay Minette, AL
Professional exterior painting from your neighbors in Bay Minette.

Bay Minette is our home, and we take pride in serving our neighbors. As Baldwin County's seat, this small-town community features many homes built 30-50+ years ago with original wood siding, cedar trim, and traditional Southern architecture. While we're inland from the coast's salt air, Alabama's humidity and summer storms still demand quality prep and premium coatings. We specialize in restoring and protecting the original character of Bay Minette homes.

Exterior Painting Do's & Don'ts

What makes paint last vs what causes early failure in Bay Minette's climate

DO's

  • Power wash first - Removes mildew, dirt, pollen, chalk
  • Scrape ALL loose paint - New paint only sticks to solid substrate
  • Prime bare wood - Especially important for tannin-rich cedar siding
  • Caulk gaps - Water infiltration is the #1 paint killer
  • Paint in right weather - 50-85F, low humidity, no rain for 24hrs
  • Use quality paint - Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald
  • Apply 2 full coats - One coat never lasts

DON'Ts

  • Don't skip power washing - Paint over dirt = peeling in 1 year
  • Don't paint over mildew - It grows through the new paint
  • Don't paint wet wood - Moisture content must be under 15%
  • Don't use cheap paint - $20/gallon paint fades in 2 years
  • Don't paint in direct sun - Causes blistering and lap marks
  • Don't ignore wood rot - Fix it or it spreads
  • Don't rush the prep - 80% of paint failure is prep failure
