You stop worrying about your siding every time a storm rolls in. No more watching paint peel away in strips or fade to nothing after one brutal winter.
Your neighbors notice the difference. Your home keeps its value. And you’re not calling painters every few years because the last job failed.
That’s what happens when exterior painting is done right for coastal conditions. Not just slapped on and hoped for the best.
Fine Coat Painters has been protecting homes in New England for over 20 years. We understand what Salisbury Beach weather does to regular paint jobs.
Salt air doesn’t care about your timeline or budget. Neither do nor’easters or those brutal freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior coatings.
That’s why we use marine-grade paints and proper prep techniques designed for coastal conditions. Your home gets the protection it needs, not just what looks good in the store.
First, we assess your home’s current condition and identify problem areas that need special attention. Salt damage, moisture infiltration, and UV wear all get different treatments.
Next comes proper surface prep. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime using products that actually bond in coastal humidity. No shortcuts that lead to early failure.
Finally, we apply two coats of weather-resistant paint formulated for marine environments. The kind that expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking or peeling.

Every exterior painting project starts with thorough power washing to remove salt buildup, mold, and old paint residue. Salisbury Beach homes need this deep cleaning before any coating goes on.
We handle wood rot repair, caulking, and weatherproofing as part of the process. Coastal moisture finds every gap and crack, so we seal them properly.
Your paint system includes primer designed for high-humidity conditions and topcoats that resist fading from intense summer sun. We also paint trim, shutters, and doors for complete protection.
Most coastal homes need repainting every 5-7 years, depending on your siding material and exposure to salt air. Homes directly facing the ocean may need attention sooner.
Wood siding typically shows wear faster than vinyl or fiber cement. If you’re seeing chalking, fading, or small areas of peeling, it’s time to address it before moisture gets behind the paint.
We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early. Small touch-ups cost far less than full repaints, and they prevent water damage that can affect your home’s structure.
Acrylic latex paints with marine-grade formulations perform best in Salisbury Beach conditions. These paints resist salt corrosion, UV fading, and moisture penetration better than standard exterior paints.
Look for paints labeled “coastal formula” or containing mildewcides. Semi-gloss and satin finishes also hold up better than flat paints because they repel water more effectively.
We typically use premium brands like Benjamin Moore Aura or Sherwin Williams Duration for coastal applications. The upfront cost is higher, but these paints last significantly longer in harsh weather.
Proper prep work is critical for coastal painting success. We start with thorough pressure washing to remove salt deposits, mold, and loose paint that regular cleaning can’t handle.
Next comes scraping, sanding, and spot priming of any bare wood or metal surfaces. Coastal humidity makes primer adhesion tricky, so we use bonding primers specifically designed for high-moisture environments.
All caulking gets inspected and replaced where needed. Salt air finds every small gap and causes water infiltration, so we seal everything properly before the first coat goes on.
We monitor weather conditions closely and only paint when temperature, humidity, and wind conditions are optimal. Coastal weather changes quickly, so timing is everything for proper paint adhesion.
Generally, we avoid painting in temperatures below 50°F or above 85°F, or when humidity exceeds 70%. We also won’t paint if rain is expected within 24 hours of application.
Spring and early fall typically offer the best painting conditions in Salisbury Beach. Summer can be too humid, and winter obviously presents temperature challenges for most exterior painting projects.
Exterior painting costs in Salisbury Beach typically range from $3-8 per square foot, depending on your home’s size, condition, and the level of prep work required.
Most average-sized homes run between $8,000-15,000 for complete exterior painting. Coastal homes often need more prep work due to salt damage and weather exposure, which affects the total cost.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including materials, labor, and prep work. No surprises or hidden fees—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Yes, we provide a comprehensive warranty on all exterior painting work. Our warranty covers paint failure, peeling, and adhesion issues for a specified period after completion.
The warranty length depends on the paint system used and your home’s specific conditions. Premium coastal-grade paints typically carry longer warranty periods because they’re designed for harsh environments.
We also offer maintenance programs to help extend your paint job’s life. Regular inspections and minor touch-ups can prevent small problems from becoming expensive repairs down the road.
