Do you power wash before painting in Spanish Fort?

Yes, always. Power washing removes salt deposits, dirt, mildew, and chalky paint residue. It's critical for paint adhesion in Spanish Fort's humid, bay-adjacent climate. Skipping this step guarantees early paint failure.

What paint brands do you use for Spanish Fort exteriors?

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

What's the best time of year to paint exteriors in Spanish Fort?

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

Do you repair rotted wood before painting?

Yes. 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.

Exterior Painting Do's & Don'ts

What makes paint last vs what causes early failure in Spanish Fort's climate

✓ DO's

Power wash first - Removes salt deposits, mildew, dirt, chalk
Scrape ALL loose paint - New paint only sticks to solid substrate
Prime bare wood - Especially important for tannin-rich cedar
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
