Exterior House Painting in Atlanta
Did you know that the uniquely hot, humid climate of Atlanta requires specific kinds of exterior house paint? We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners in North Georgia, and we can choose the perfect color, sheen, and type of paint for your home. We always keep value and longevity in mind.
Prepping the Exterior
We start with a thorough inspection to identify any repair work needed before painting – we will clean the exterior of your home, and usually power wash the surface as necessary to remove dirt and loose paint. Next, we will caulk all cracks and gaps to prevent moisture intrusion, and any rotten or damaged wood will be replaced and sanded. From brick to stucco, wood siding and fiber cement, we will make sure the exterior of your house is in perfect shape before we start priming and painting
High Quality Materials and Tools
We then choose high-quality paints designed to resist fading, peeling, and mold growth. As previously mentioned, we make sure your home not only looks beautiful, but is also protected against the elements. We are comfortable with all painting techniques, and we use spray applications and hand brushing as necessary around the exterior of your home (brush work around windows, trims, and other areas needing a careful touch).
We always protect your driveway, plants, pool area, and other items around the house – you won’t even know we were here, other than the beautiful paint.
Experience With All Kinds of Siding and Exterior Materials
Whether you have vinyl, wood, or fiber cement siding, our house painters in Atlanta painters will select the perfect product for your home. Will will clean, sand, and prime as much as necessary to create a blank canvas that we can coat with multiple layers of paint.
The right color and finish can make a big difference on the energy efficiency and look of your home – let us present you with samples so that we can decide on the right color, texture and finish. From matte to glossy, and green to eggshell colors, we can work with any material to make your home look amazing.
Interior House Painting in Atlanta
We handle whole-house repaints and individual rooms, and whether you need our whole painting crew or just one painter for a day, give us a call. Color consultation is part of the process, and we help homeowners choose shades that reflect their style while considering factors like natural light and room size. Our low-VOC paints create a safe indoor environment for families, and we always cover your furniture, carpets, and windows before we get to work.
We will also repair any broken sections of drywall and replace deteriorated wood rather than simply painting over them.
Small Projects: Single Room Painting or Cabinet Refacing
We are happy to help with smaller projects, such as refreshing a single room or updating kitchen cabinets. These projects require the same level of attention to detail and quality as larger jobs. Cabinet refacing, for example, can transform a kitchen without the need for a full remodel. When refacing cabinets, we use techniques and coatings that adhere to previously finished surfaces. Whether you need your bathrooms repainted, a deck painted or stained, or something else, please get in touch. We are also happy to handle brick exterior painting, concrete finishing, and even limewash for our customers.
Is it Time to Hire a Painter?
Notice chipping and peeling on your home’s exterior? Do you have mold and mildew on your siding? Or do you want to create a splash in your neighborhood with a new color altogether? We also help many homeowners who plan to list their house on the market. Timely repainting also protects your home from weather-related damage, such as moisture penetration and UV deterioration, which can lead to expensive repairs if left untreated.
Keep in mind that wood siding may need to be painted every 5 years, vinyl can last about a decade, and fiber cement siding may hold its paint quality for up to 15 years. If you aren’t sure, we are always happy to take a look!
Plan Your Painting Project Responsibly
Defining Scope Before Work Begins
One of the most common issues homeowners run into is scope creep. A project starts with siding and trim, then expands to shutters, doors, railings, or detached structures. Interior projects can follow the same pattern once walls, ceilings, and trim are evaluated side by side. Defining what is included at the start allows pricing, scheduling, and material selection to stay aligned. We walk through the home with this in mind, clarifying exactly what will be painted and what will remain untouched.
What Drives Timeline Changes?
Painting timelines shift for clear reasons. Repairs uncovered during prep, extended drying times, or weather delays all affect scheduling. Exterior projects often slow down when hidden wood damage appears under old paint. Interior projects can pause when drywall or trim repairs take longer than expected. Knowing where delays typically occur helps homeowners plan realistically, especially when coordinating move-ins, listings, or other renovations.
Make Confident Color and Finish Decisions
Choosing Colors That Age Well
Color choice affects more than appearance on day one. Exterior colors fade differently depending on sun exposure and sheen. Interior colors react to natural light, artificial lighting, and room size. We help homeowners think beyond the sample board by discussing how colors will look throughout the day and across connected spaces. This avoids regret after the project is complete.
Finish Selection Based on Actual Use
Sheen plays a major role in durability and maintenance. Higher-sheen finishes clean more easily but highlight surface imperfections. Flatter finishes hide flaws but may require more care in high-traffic areas. Kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and exterior trim all benefit from different finishes. Selecting finishes based on use keeps painted surfaces looking better for longer.
Coordinate Painting With Other Home Projects
Painting often works best when coordinated with flooring updates, cabinetry changes, or exterior repairs. Addressing these items in the right order prevents rework and protects finished surfaces. We regularly help homeowners sequence painting alongside other improvements so the final result feels cohesive rather than piecemeal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interior and Exterior Painting
How do I know if my home needs exterior repainting?
Visible peeling, cracking, fading, or exposed wood usually indicate that paint protection has worn down. Homes in Atlanta also show wear through mildew growth or moisture staining due to humidity, even when paint still looks intact from a distance.
How often should different siding materials be repainted?
Wood siding often needs repainting every five to seven years, depending on exposure and maintenance. Vinyl siding typically holds paint closer to ten years, while fiber cement can last twelve to fifteen years when properly prepped and coated.
Does Atlanta’s climate affect exterior paint performance?
Yes. Heat, humidity, and strong sun exposure influence how paint cures and how long it lasts. Product selection, surface prep, and application timing all adjust based on local conditions to help paint hold up longer.
What prep work is involved before exterior painting starts?
Prep usually includes inspection, cleaning, power washing when appropriate, caulking gaps, sanding rough areas, and replacing damaged wood. Skipping or rushing prep often leads to premature paint failure.
Can you paint over previously painted surfaces?
Yes, as long as the existing paint is stable. Loose or failing paint must be removed, and surfaces need proper priming so new coats bond correctly rather than sitting on top of weakened layers.
What types of exterior materials can you paint?
We regularly paint wood siding, fiber cement, brick, stucco, trim, shutters, doors, railings, and other exterior features. Each material requires different prep and paint systems to perform well.
How long does an exterior painting project usually take?
Most exterior projects take several days to a week, depending on home size, surface condition, repairs needed, and weather. Larger homes or projects with extensive prep may take longer.
Do you help with color and finish selection?
Yes. We help homeowners choose colors and finishes based on lighting, architectural style, and long-term durability rather than trends alone. Samples allow decisions to happen with confidence before work begins.
What should I expect during an interior painting project?
Interior work includes surface protection, drywall and trim repairs, careful prep, and controlled application. Furniture, floors, and fixtures are covered, and low-VOC paints help keep indoor spaces comfortable during the project.
Can you handle small painting projects or single rooms?
Yes. Single rooms, accent walls, cabinet refacing, and other small projects receive the same level of prep and attention as full-house repaints.
Is cabinet painting or refacing a good alternative to replacement?
In many cases, yes. Cabinet refacing or repainting updates the look of a kitchen without the cost and disruption of a full remodel, as long as the cabinet structure remains in good condition.
How far in advance should I schedule a painting consultation?
Scheduling a consultation a few weeks ahead usually allows more flexibility, especially during busy seasons. We also help homeowners working toward listings or move-in dates plan timelines realistically.
