The Coastal Connecticut Difference

Painting homes near the coast requires specialized knowledge and materials. Salt air, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure all take their toll on standard paint systems. We use premium exterior coatings specifically formulated to resist:

Salt air corrosion and oxidation
Moisture infiltration and peeling
UV degradation and fading
Mildew and algae growth
Extreme temperature changes

Color Consultation for Coastal Homes

Selecting appropriate exterior colors for coastal Connecticut requires understanding:

How colors fade in intense sun and salt air
Period-appropriate palettes for historic homes
Neighborhood character and architectural style
Light reflection and heat absorption
Complementary trim and accent colors

Premium Exterior Materials

We use only weather-resistant paints and primers specifically designed for coastal Connecticut's harsh conditions:

High-Performance Primers

Oil-based primers for maximum adhesion
Stain-blocking primers for tannin bleed
Rust-inhibiting primers for metal surfaces
Bonding primers for challenging surfaces

Premium Top Coats

100% acrylic formulations for coastal exposure
Fade-resistant pigments for lasting color
Mildew-resistant additives
Self-priming paints where appropriate
Low-temperature curing capabilities

Siding & Trim Restoration

Before painting, we address all surface issues:

Wood Siding Repair

Replacement of rotted clapboards
Repair of split or damaged boards
Consolidation of loose or cupped siding
Treatment of insect damage

Trim Work

Window and door trim repair
Corner board replacement
Fascia and soffit work
Decorative trim restoration

Exterior Paint Longevity

With proper preparation and premium materials, our exterior painting should last 8-12 years in coastal Connecticut, significantly longer than standard paint jobs. We stand behind our work with confidence born from four decades of proven results.

Factors Affecting Longevity:

Proximity to salt water (direct exposure shortens lifespan)
Sun exposure (southern and western faces fade faster)
Quality of previous paint job
Home maintenance and gutter function
Quality of surface preparation
