Professional Exterior Painting Throughout Charlotte NC
Exterior painting in Charlotte NC is both a protective investment and a dramatic aesthetic upgrade for your home. Charlotte's climate—with hot, humid summers, occasional severe storms, and UV exposure—demands quality exterior paint and professional application to protect your home's surfaces and maintain curb appeal. Bing-Zaremba Construction is Charlotte's trusted exterior painting contractor, delivering durable, beautiful results that protect homes for years. As your local handyman and painting specialists, we understand the unique challenges of exterior painting in the Carolina Piedmont.
Your home's exterior is constantly exposed to the elements. Sun fades colors, rain drives moisture into wood, and temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that can crack inferior paint. Professional exterior painting with premium products creates a protective barrier that shields your siding, trim, and architectural details from these damaging forces while making your home the envy of the neighborhood.
Understanding Exterior Paint for Charlotte's Climate
Selecting the right exterior paint is critical for durability and appearance. Here's what Charlotte homeowners need to know:
Acrylic Latex Paint
The standard for modern exterior painting, 100% acrylic latex paints offer excellent durability, flexibility, and color retention. They expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, resist mildew growth in Charlotte's humidity, and clean up easily with water. We recommend premium acrylic latex for most Charlotte exterior projects.
Oil-Based Paint
While less common today, oil-based paints still have applications for certain surfaces like bare wood and metal. They offer excellent adhesion and durability but take longer to dry and have higher VOC content. We use oil-based primers and paints selectively where they provide superior results.
Specialty Exterior Coatings
Different surfaces require different products. We use elastomeric coatings for stucco, special primers for aluminum siding, and breathable masonry paints for brick. Deck stains and sealers protect outdoor wood. Selecting the right product for each surface ensures optimal adhesion and longevity.
Surfaces We Paint
Our Charlotte exterior painting services cover all exterior surfaces:
- Wood siding: Clapboard, shake, and board-and-batten styles common in Charlotte's older neighborhoods
- Fiber cement siding: Hardy Plank and similar products popular in newer Charlotte construction
- Vinyl siding: Yes, vinyl can be painted with proper preparation and specialty paints
- Aluminum siding: Older aluminum benefits from fresh paint with proper priming
- Stucco: Elastomeric coatings protect and beautify stucco exteriors
- Brick: Painting or lime washing transforms dated brick
- Trim and fascia: Windows, doors, eaves, and architectural details
- Shutters and doors: High-impact areas that define curb appeal
- Decks and fences: Staining and sealing for outdoor wood structures
The Professional Exterior Painting Process
- Inspection and Estimate: We thoroughly inspect your home's exterior, identify any repairs needed, and provide a detailed written estimate.
- Power Washing: We pressure wash all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, chalking paint, and debris. Clean surfaces are essential for proper paint adhesion.
- Repairs and Preparation: We scrape loose paint, sand rough areas, fill cracks and holes, replace rotted wood, and caulk gaps. Proper prep prevents premature paint failure.
- Priming: We apply primer to bare wood, repairs, and any surfaces that need enhanced adhesion or stain blocking.
- Paint Application: We apply two coats of premium exterior paint using brushes, rollers, and professional spray equipment as appropriate. Each coat dries fully before the next.
- Clean-Up and Inspection: We remove all protection, clean up the work area, and perform a final quality inspection with you.
When to Paint Your Charlotte Home's Exterior
Timing matters for exterior painting. Charlotte's optimal exterior painting seasons are:
- Spring (March-May): Moderate temperatures and lower humidity create ideal painting conditions
- Fall (September-November): Cooler temperatures and reduced rainfall make this another excellent window
- Summer: Possible with early morning starts, but extreme heat and afternoon storms can complicate scheduling
- Winter: Limited opportunities when temperatures stay above 50°F for adequate curing time
Signs your home needs exterior painting include chalking or fading paint, peeling or cracking, visible wood grain through paint, mildew growth, and paint that's more than 7-10 years old. If you're seeing these signs, contact Bing-Zaremba Construction for a free exterior painting estimate.
