Exterior Painting Built for Coastal Weather

Protect your home from the elements and maximise curb appeal with high-grade weather-resistant exterior coatings and detailed siding prep. Salt air, sun and storm season are the real test — we prepare for all three before the first coat goes on.

What's included

The prep matters more than the paint

Exterior coatings fail from the substrate up. Every job starts with washing, scraping and sealing, because a premium topcoat over poor prep still peels.

Siding & Cladding

Lap siding, board and batten, fibre cement and stucco cleaned, primed and coated to an even finish.

Wash & Surface Prep

A full rinse to strip salt, chalk, mildew and pollen so the primer bonds to a clean surface.

Scrape & Sand

Failing paint scraped back, edges feathered smooth, and bare timber spot-primed the same day.

Caulk & Seal

Joints, seams and penetrations resealed to keep wind-driven rain out of the wall assembly.

Trim, Doors & Shutters

Fascia, soffits, columns, railings, shutters and front doors finished in a hard-wearing enamel.

UV-Stable Coatings

Products chosen to hold their colour through Lowcountry sun instead of fading off within two seasons.

Salt-Air Resistance

Coatings and primers rated for coastal exposure, with extra attention on windward elevations.

Site Left Clean

Plants covered, hardware protected, and all scrapings collected rather than left in the beds.

Salt, sun and storm season all attack the same coat

An exterior in Charleston takes punishment an inland house never sees. Salt sits on the surface and keeps working. Humidity pushes moisture out through the siding. Summer sun bleaches south and west elevations far faster than the rest of the house.

We treat elevations differently rather than spraying everything the same. Windward walls get the extra attention, bare timber gets spot-primed before it can drink moisture, and the whole envelope is sealed so wind-driven rain stays outside.

Products picked for the elevation, not the invoice

Not every wall on your house has the same job to do. What goes on a shaded north wall is the wrong choice for the elevation that takes afternoon sun and salt spray all summer.

100% Acrylic Latex Flexible and UV-stable. The default for siding that has to move with temperature swings.
Elastomeric Bridges hairline cracks on stucco and masonry where water would otherwise track in.
Stain-Blocking Primer Seals tannin bleed on cedar and stops rust marks resurfacing through the topcoat.
Exterior Enamel Hard, washable finish for doors, shutters and railings that get handled daily.

FAQs

Exterior painting questions we get asked

A typical single-family home runs three to six working days depending on size, condition and how much scraping it needs. Weather can extend that, and we tell you as soon as it does.
Spring and autumn give the most reliable cure conditions in Charleston. We do paint through summer, but we work elevations around the heat and avoid coating in direct afternoon sun.
Yes. A full rinse to strip salt, chalk, mildew and pollen is part of every exterior job — primer will not bond properly to a dirty surface.
We identify and flag it during the walkthrough. Minor filler work is included; replacing rotten boards or trim is quoted separately so you can see the cost clearly.
With correct prep and coastal-rated products, expect roughly seven to ten years on siding, less on the elevations taking the most sun and salt.
