Need premium painting on Wrightsville Beach that won't peel, fade, or mildew within a year?

Constant salt air, year-round humidity, and brutal UV exposure mean standard paint jobs don't hold up on the island—you need someone who understands what actually works in barrier island conditions.
We've painted homes throughout Wrightsville Beach long enough to know what fails and what lasts. Whether you own an oceanfront property in Shell Island or a soundside estate in Harbor Island, we understand that island painting is fundamentally different from mainland work.

Why Choose Swanson Construction for Painting in Wrightsville Beach
You've got options for painters who work on Wrightsville Beach. So why choose us? Honestly, it comes down to barrier island expertise and luxury market expectations.
We understand Wrightsville Beach's island environment
Salt air corrosion, constant humidity from the Atlantic, elevated construction challenges, and UV exposure more intense than mainland. We use marine-grade primers and high-performance coatings chosen for barrier island performance. Not mainland painters working on the island—island painting specialists.
Luxury market expertise
Wrightsville Beach properties command premium values. Your paint job needs to justify that with finishes that support luxury market expectations—not standard residential quality. Shell Island and Harbor Island homeowners expect excellence, and we deliver it.
Licensed and insured
Full insurance coverage and proper licensing for island properties where value demands protection. Licensed means we're held to standards that protect you in the luxury island market.
Elevated construction experience
Many Wrightsville Beach properties are elevated on pilings with limited access. We know how painting differs in elevated construction—from scaffolding needs to wind considerations. We've painted oceanfront, soundside, and elevated properties throughout the island.
Marine-grade primers for salt air
We use primers specifically rated for salt air corrosion resistance. Standard primers fail fast on Wrightsville Beach—we've seen it happen to paint jobs we've been called to fix. Marine-grade preparation prevents premature failure.
Mildew-resistant paint systems
Coastal humidity breeds mildew on island properties. We use paints with enhanced mildew resistance and treat surfaces before painting. This prevents the mildew growth common in Wrightsville Beach humidity.
Benefits of Professional Painting in Wrightsville Beach
Here's why investing in professional painting makes sense for your Wrightsville Beach island property:

Premium exterior paint with marine-grade primers protects against salt air corrosion that destroys standard paint on barrier islands. It's investment protection for your Wrightsville Beach property.
Mildew resistance for humid island climate

2. Detailed Written Estimate
You'll get a complete breakdown of materials, labor, prep work, and timeline. We explain paint options and why premium marine-grade coatings are worth the investment on barrier islands like Wrightsville Beach.
3. Surface Preparation for Island Conditions
We pressure wash to remove salt buildup, scrape loose paint, sand rough areas, extensively treat mildew (very common in humid Wrightsville Beach), repair damage from salt air corrosion, caulk gaps to prevent moisture, and apply marine-grade primers. Prep work is critical on barrier islands.
4. Protection and Masking
We protect landscaping, cover furniture, mask windows and trim, and minimize paint getting where it shouldn't. Respect for island properties and neighbors matters on Wrightsville Beach.
5. Marine-Grade Primer Application
We apply premium primers specifically rated for salt air to all bare surfaces. This step is essential on Wrightsville Beach where moisture and salt air affect paint adhesion differently than mainland.
6. High-Performance Paint Application
We apply premium coastal-resistant paints using techniques that ensure even coverage and luxury finishes. Weather permitting for island conditions, we work during optimal conditions with extended drying times for coastal humidity.
7. Final Inspection and Cleanup
We do a walkthrough with you to ensure you're happy with everything. We clean up completely, leaving your Wrightsville Beach property looking better than when we arrived while respecting island neighbors.
