What Beaufort Homeowners Need to Know

Beaufort is a historic waterfront city with deep military ties (MCAS Beaufort and Parris Island) and a growing retirement community. Here is what matters for exterior painting in this area.

Beaufort's historic district has specific guidelines for exterior colors and finishes that must be approved by the city's historic preservation office. We are familiar with these requirements and can help homeowners navigate the approval process. Homes along the Beaufort River and in Port Royal face direct salt exposure that demands marine-grade primers and 100% acrylic topcoats. The Point's historic wooden homes require especially careful prep -- scraping and sanding must be done by hand in many areas to avoid damaging original siding. For the newer homes in Burton and Lady's Island, standard exterior prep and premium paint deliver excellent long-term results.

Beaufort's waterfront location means higher-than-average salt exposure and humidity. Homes near the Beaufort River see more rapid paint degradation than properties just a few miles inland.
