Warranty and prep standards
Local scheduling context
What's the best time of year to paint exteriors?
In North Carolina, spring and fall are ideal (temperatures between 50-85°F with low humidity). However, we can work year-round by scheduling around weather conditions and using appropriate products.
How long does exterior paint last?
Quality exterior paint jobs typically last 7-10 years, depending on exposure, climate, and surface preparation. Premium paints and proper prep work extend this significantly.
Do you repair damaged siding before painting?
Yes! We inspect all surfaces and repair minor damage, cracks, and rot before painting. For extensive damage, we'll provide a separate estimate for repairs.
How do you prepare surfaces for exterior painting?
We power wash surfaces, scrape loose paint, sand rough areas, caulk gaps, prime bare wood, and address any moisture or mildew issues before applying paint.
Do you offer low-VOC or zero-VOC exterior paint options?
Yes. We can specify low-VOC and zero-VOC exterior options when requested, while still meeting durability and weather-resistance requirements.
Will painting increase my home's value?
Absolutely! Exterior painting offers one of the highest ROIs in home improvement, typically returning 50-100% of the investment. A fresh exterior also improves curb appeal and speeds up home sales.
Do you cover East, Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast Charlotte?
Yes. We regularly schedule projects across East Charlotte, Northeast Charlotte, Northwest Charlotte, and Southeast Charlotte with the same prep and finish standards we use citywide.
