Exterior Painting Built to Last in Coastal Alabama

Most exterior paint jobs range from $3,500-$8,000 depending on home size, current condition, and prep needed. Small homes or touch-ups start around $2,500. Large homes or those needing extensive prep can reach $12,000+. We provide detailed written estimates.

With proper prep and premium paint, expect 7-10 years on wood siding, 15-20 years on stucco, and 20+ years on brick. Our coastal climate is harsh, but quality work lasts.

Always. Power washing removes dirt, pollen, salt deposits, and chalky paint residue. Most importantly, it kills mildew that thrives in our humid climate. Skipping this step guarantees early paint failure.

We use Sherwin-Williams Duration and Emerald for most exteriors. These are specifically formulated for UV resistance, mildew resistance, and flexibility. They cost more but last twice as long as cheap paint.

We scrape all loose paint, sand edges smooth, and caulk gaps. Minor wood rot is filled with epoxy filler. Major rot requires board replacement - we'll identify this in your estimate and recommend the right repair.

Spring and Fall are ideal - moderate temps and lower humidity. We can paint in summer, but work in early morning/late afternoon to avoid direct sun. Winter is fine for temps above 50F.
