Serving Concord, NC

Concord splits into two very different painting jobs. Downtown and the blocks around North Union Street and the old Gibson Mill area hold wood-frame houses from the 1900s to the 1940s, with deep trim profiles, plaster walls and layers of paint that go back before 1978. Out toward Afton Village, Christenbury and the neighborhoods off Poplar Tent Road, the stock is 1990s hardboard and post-2010 fiber cement and vinyl. The first group needs scraping, wood repair and lead-safe handling. The second needs caulk joints, nail holes and a wash. Most calls here are exterior painting, trim and fascia work, and interior painting on rooms that have never been recoated.

Cabarrus County summers push humidity past 80% in July and August, and the pine and oak pollen in late March coats siding and porch ceilings in a day. We schedule exterior work in the two windows that hold: mid-April to early June, and mid-September into November, when surfaces are cooler and the film cures instead of skinning. Shaded north elevations under Concord's mature oaks stay damp for hours longer, so mildew grows there first. We wash and kill it rather than paint over it, then let the substrate dry down. On the older houses, we test before disturbing pre-1978 layers and keep the scraping contained. A pre-paint pressure washing pass is part of the job, not an add-on.

Concord sits about 20 miles up I-85 from uptown, so we work full days here instead of losing time to the drive. Retail space near Concord Mills and the distribution and light-manufacturing buildings along the I-85 corridor get painted around dock activity, which usually means evenings and weekends; we set those hours in writing before we start. On houses, floors and furniture get covered, hardware comes off and goes back on, and the site is swept at the end of every day.
