We use only premium paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Johnson Paint. We never use builder-grade or discount products. Premium paint means better coverage, longer lasting color, and a finish that holds up in Maine's coastal climate. The difference in quality is visible and measurable.

Surface preparation is where a lasting paint job starts. Our preparation process includes thorough power washing, professional dust-free sanding with our Festool system, spot priming, caulking all gaps and joints, and full-surface priming where needed. Proper preparation is the single biggest factor in how long your paint job lasts.

With proper preparation and premium paint, an exterior paint job on a Maine coastal home lasts 8 to 12 years. Homes within half a mile of the ocean face salt air, UV exposure, and over 100 freeze and thaw cycles per year. We use specialty coastal grade formulations from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore engineered specifically for these conditions. [Learn more about coastal painting]
