Your home stops being a maintenance headache. No more watching paint peel after two seasons or dealing with water damage from failed coatings.
You get years of protection from a paint job that actually holds up to coastal conditions. Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. And you stop worrying about the next storm season.
The difference shows in how your home weathers each year—looking fresh instead of weathered, protected instead of vulnerable.
We’ve been protecting Rockport homes from the elements for years. We understand what salt air does to paint, how moisture creeps into every crack, and why standard approaches fail here.
This isn’t just about making your home look good—though it will. It’s about using the right materials and methods that actually work in our climate. We’ve seen what happens when corners get cut, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the opposite.
Local homeowners trust us because we show up when we say we will, use materials that last, and stand behind our work.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s current condition. Every surface gets inspected for damage, moisture issues, or preparation needs before we touch a brush.
Next comes the prep work—power washing to remove salt buildup, scraping loose paint, filling gaps, and priming properly. This step determines how long your paint job lasts, so we don’t rush it.
Then we apply weather-resistant coatings designed for coastal conditions. Two coats minimum, applied when conditions are right. No painting in high humidity or when storms are coming. When we’re done, you get a detailed walkthrough and care instructions to maximize your investment.

Every Rockport home faces salt air, temperature swings, and moisture that would destroy paint jobs inland. That’s why we use marine-grade primers and UV-resistant topcoats specifically chosen for coastal exposure.
Your service includes complete surface preparation, minor carpentry repairs, caulking and weatherproofing, and premium paint application. We handle siding, trim, doors, shutters, and any exterior surface that needs protection.
Local homes built near the water need extra attention to areas where salt accumulates and moisture penetrates. We know these vulnerable spots and address them before problems develop. The result is protection that actually works in our environment, not just looks good for a season.
Most Rockport homes need exterior painting every 5-7 years, though this varies based on your home’s exposure to salt air and weather. Homes directly facing the ocean typically need attention sooner than those with some protection from trees or other structures.
The key is watching for early warning signs: chalking paint, small areas of peeling, or caulk that’s starting to crack. Addressing these issues before they spread saves money and prevents water damage. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early, especially after harsh winter seasons.
Coastal homes need 100% acrylic latex paints with high salt resistance and UV protection. These paints flex with temperature changes and resist the corrosive effects of salt air that destroy standard paints.
We use marine-grade primers that create a barrier against moisture and salt penetration. The topcoat needs mildew resistance and superior adhesion properties. Cheap paint might save money upfront, but it fails quickly in coastal conditions, leading to expensive repairs and frequent repainting. Quality materials designed for marine environments cost more initially but provide better protection and longer life.
We work around weather, not through it. Proper exterior painting requires specific temperature and humidity conditions—typically between 50-85°F with low humidity and no precipitation expected for 24-48 hours.
Spring and fall offer the most consistent conditions, but we can work during suitable winter and summer days when weather permits. We monitor forecasts closely and won’t start work if conditions aren’t right. This might mean adjusting schedules, but it prevents paint failures that would require complete redoing of the work.
Salt damage requires aggressive preparation to ensure new paint adheres properly. We start with thorough power washing to remove salt buildup, then scrape all loose or failing paint down to stable surfaces.
Any rust or corrosion gets treated with specialized primers before painting. Wood surfaces showing salt damage often need sanding or replacement of severely affected areas. Metal surfaces require rust inhibiting primers. We also check and replace caulking around windows, doors, and trim where salt and moisture typically penetrate. Proper surface prep takes time but prevents early paint failure.
Our complete service includes surface inspection, power washing, scraping and sanding, minor carpentry repairs, caulking replacement, priming, and two coats of premium exterior paint. We also handle cleanup and provide touch-up paint for future maintenance.
Surface preparation gets special attention because it determines paint longevity. We replace rotted trim, fill gaps and holes, and address any moisture issues before painting. All work includes proper protection of landscaping and outdoor fixtures. You receive a detailed written estimate covering every aspect of the job, so there are no surprises about what’s included.
Professional exterior painting typically returns 50-100% of its cost in increased home value, with some studies showing returns up to 152%. In Rockport’s high-value market, a quality paint job can add $6,000-$8,000 or more to your home’s worth.
Beyond immediate value, proper exterior painting protects your investment by preventing costly damage from moisture, salt, and UV exposure. Buyers in coastal markets specifically look for homes with well-maintained exteriors that won’t need immediate attention. A fresh, professional paint job signals that the home has been properly cared for, making it more attractive and marketable.
