Serving Pineville, NC

Pineville packs three different paint jobs into a few square miles. The blocks around Main Street and the James K. Polk historic site hold early-1900s wood-frame houses with deep trim profiles and pre-1978 paint layers, so those get contained scraping and slow hand work. South and west of there, 1960s-80s brick ranches need the painted wood that brick does not cover: fascia, soffit, window casings and shutters. The newer subdivisions off Johnston Road and Lancaster Highway are fiber cement and vinyl, where prep is caulk joints and nail holes. Then there is the retail and office strip along Highway 51 and Park Road, which is why Pineville calls us for commercial painting about as often as houses.

Exterior painting in Pineville gets scheduled around weather more than anything else. The steady windows in this part of Mecklenburg County run mid-April to early June and mid-September to early November, when surfaces are cool enough that the film forms instead of skinning over. July walls facing south and west along Highway 51 sit well above air temperature, so we start early and follow the shade around the building. Shaded north elevations under mature oaks stay damp for hours, and mildew grows back through a new coat if it is only painted over, so pressure washing with a mildewcide comes first and the substrate dries down before primer. Red clay splash gets washed off the bottom courses too.

Most of what we paint in Pineville is occupied. Offices and retail suites near Carolina Place get worked in phases, after hours or on weekends, with floors covered and the space usable the next morning. Apartment and condo buildings get resident notice, and stairwells and breezeways are done a section at a time so nobody is locked out of their own door; that is the bulk of our apartment and multi-family painting here. In houses we move and cover furniture, mask what we are not painting, and haul our trash out daily. Every job starts with a walkthrough and a free written estimate that lists surfaces, coats and colors, so you can see the scope before anyone opens a can. Call and we will come measure.
