Why Exterior Painting Matters in Coastal GA and SC
Savannah and the Lowcountry's coastal environment creates specific challenges for painted exterior surfaces that differ significantly from inland areas.
Humidity and Moisture Protection
The Lowcountry's subtropical climate means high humidity year-round. Excess moisture damages paint and can lead to mold, mildew, and wood rot. Quality exterior paint with proper primers prevents moisture infiltration and protects your home's structure.
Salt Air Damage and Corrosion
Properties near the coast are exposed to salt spray from the ocean. Salt air accelerates paint deterioration and corrodes metal surfaces. We exclusively use marine-grade paints with salt-air resistance that last significantly longer than standard paints.
UV Fading Protection
The Lowcountry's intense, year-round sun fades paint rapidly. Quality exterior paints include UV-blocking pigments that resist fading and color change. We recommend paints specifically formulated to maintain color in intense sun exposure.
Our Preparation Process
Quality exterior painting starts with thorough preparation:
Power Washing
We power wash all exterior surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, mold, and loose paint. Clean surfaces ensure proper paint adhesion and longevity.
Scraping and Sanding
Loose paint is scraped away and surfaces are sanded to create a smooth foundation. This step is critical for paint adhesion and appearance.
Caulking and Repair
We caulk gaps, seams, and holes to prevent moisture infiltration. Any damaged wood is repaired or replaced before painting.
Priming
We apply quality primers on all bare wood and new surfaces. Proper priming ensures paint adhesion and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Painting
How often should I repaint my home's exterior?
In coastal GA/SC, exterior paint typically needs refreshing every 5-7 years due to salt air and humidity. Using marine-grade paints may extend this to 7-8 years. We can assess your current exterior and recommend optimal timing.
Why is marine-grade paint necessary for Savannah and Lowcountry homes?
Salt air from the coast accelerates paint deterioration. Standard paints fail quickly in coastal environments. Marine-grade paints resist salt air corrosion and last significantly longer, protecting your investment.
What's included in exterior surface preparation?
Preparation includes power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, caulking, repairs, and priming. Thorough preparation ensures paint adhesion and longevity. It's the most important step in exterior painting.
Can you paint over existing exterior paint?
Yes, if existing paint is in good condition. If paint is peeling, cracked, or failing, we remove loose paint and prepare surfaces properly. Painting over failed paint leads to short-lived results.
Do you handle power washing as part of the exterior painting service?
Yes! Power washing is part of our preparation process. We clean all surfaces before painting to ensure proper paint adhesion and appearance.
