    1. Initial Consultation & Assessment

    Our experienced team visits your property to assess the scope of work, discuss your vision, and evaluate any special considerations unique to coastal painting projects. We examine existing paint conditions, identify preparation needs, and provide honest recommendations for achieving your desired results.

    During this consultation, we also factor in your timeline, budget considerations, and any HOA requirements common in Wilmington neighborhoods like Landfall and Porters Neck.

    What We Evaluate:

    • • Surface conditions and preparation needs
    • • Existing paint quality and compatibility
    • • Weather exposure and protection requirements

    • • Caulking gaps and seams
    • • Priming bare wood and metal
    • • Protecting landscaping and furnishings

    2. Detailed Surface Preparation

    We take special care to protect your landscaping, outdoor furniture, and HVAC equipment while preparing surfaces. All loose or failing paint is removed, holes and cracks are filled, and surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before any primer or paint application.

    Painting for Wilmington's Coastal Climate

    Coastal painting requires specialized knowledge and materials to combat the unique challenges of salt air, high humidity, and intense weather conditions.

    High Humidity Challenges

    Wilmington's year-round humidity averaging 60-80% creates unique challenges for paint application and curing. Standard paints may fail prematurely without proper formulation for high-moisture environments.

    We use moisture-resistant primers and paints specifically formulated for coastal climates, ensuring proper adhesion and long-term performance even in Wilmington's humid conditions.

    Salt Air Corrosion

    Salt-laden air from the Cape Fear River and nearby Atlantic Ocean can accelerate paint degradation and cause premature failure of standard coatings, particularly on metal surfaces and coastal-facing exposures.

    Our marine-grade paint systems provide enhanced protection against salt corrosion, extending the life of your paint job significantly compared to standard interior/exterior paints.

    UV Radiation Exposure

    Intense sunlight and UV radiation, particularly reflected off water surfaces near Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, can cause rapid paint fading and chalking without proper UV protection.

    We select paints with advanced UV inhibitors and light-stable pigments that maintain color integrity and surface protection even under extreme sun exposure conditions common to waterfront properties.
