You know what happens to regular paint jobs in Salisbury Point. The salt air eats through them. The humidity causes peeling. The storms strip away your investment in just a few years.
That’s not what you get with us. We’ve been painting coastal homes for over 20 years, and we know exactly what it takes to make exterior paint last in this environment. We use marine-grade coatings specifically formulated for coastal conditions. We prep surfaces the right way—removing every trace of salt film and mildew before we even think about applying primer.
The result? Paint jobs that protect your home for decades, not seasons. Your neighbors will ask how your house still looks fresh while theirs are already showing wear.
Fine Coat Painters has been serving Salisbury Point and the surrounding coastal communities for over two decades. We’re not just another painting company—we’re specialists who understand what it means to paint homes where the Atlantic Ocean is your neighbor.
Every member of our team is background-checked and trained in coastal painting techniques. We’ve seen every challenge this environment throws at exterior paint: the salt spray from winter storms, the intense summer UV exposure, the humidity that breeds mold and mildew.
That experience translates into paint jobs that last. While other contractors are learning these lessons on your dime, we already know what works and what doesn’t in Salisbury Point’s unique coastal climate.
First, we wash every surface we’re going to paint. Not just a quick rinse—a thorough cleaning with specialized solutions that remove salt film and kill any mildew. This step is critical because paint won’t adhere properly to surfaces contaminated with salt residue.
Next comes surface preparation. We sand, scrape, and fill every crack and imperfection. In coastal environments, water infiltration is your paint’s biggest enemy, so we seal everything tight. We use marine-grade primers that create a barrier between your home’s surfaces and the harsh coastal elements.
Then we apply two full coats of premium exterior paint designed specifically for coastal conditions. These aren’t your standard hardware store paints—they’re formulated to resist salt corrosion, UV damage, and moisture penetration. We time our work carefully, watching weather forecasts to ensure optimal curing conditions.

Our exterior painting service includes everything your Salisbury Point home needs to withstand coastal conditions. We handle siding, trim, shutters, doors, decks, and fences—using the right paint system for each surface and exposure level.
For homes closest to the water, we use elastomeric coatings that expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing the cracking that leads to water infiltration. For areas with moderate salt exposure, we apply high-quality acrylic latex systems with superior adhesion and weather resistance.
We also address the specific challenges of painting in Salisbury Point’s climate. The high humidity means we schedule work during optimal weather windows. The salt air means we use specialized cleaning and preparation techniques. The intense summer sun means we choose paint colors and formulations that resist fading and chalking.
Every project includes our exclusive warranty, detailed preparation work, premium materials, and thorough cleanup. You get professional results that enhance your home’s curb appeal while providing real protection against the elements.
With proper preparation and the right paint systems, exterior paint should last 12-15 years on coastal homes in Salisbury Point. However, this depends entirely on using marine-grade or coastal-formulated paints and following proper preparation procedures.
Regular hardware store paint typically fails within 3-5 years in our coastal environment. The salt air breaks down standard paint binders, causing premature chalking, fading, and peeling. That’s why we exclusively use paints specifically designed for coastal conditions—they contain corrosion inhibitors and enhanced UV protection that standard paints lack.
The key is also in the preparation. We remove all salt film and mildew before priming, use marine-grade primers, and apply two full coats of topcoat. This system creates multiple barriers against salt, moisture, and UV damage, significantly extending the life of your paint job.
Homes near Salisbury Beach need elastomeric or marine-grade acrylic latex paints with specific coastal formulations. These paints contain zinc compounds that resist salt corrosion and special resins that maintain flexibility in temperature extremes.
For siding, we typically recommend high-quality acrylic latex with a satin or semi-gloss finish. The higher sheen helps repel moisture and makes cleaning easier. For trim and areas with heavy salt exposure, we often use elastomeric coatings that create a thick, rubber-like barrier against the elements.
Color choice matters too. Lighter colors reflect more heat and show less fading than dark colors. That’s why many successful coastal paint jobs feature whites, light grays, and soft blues—they’re not just aesthetically pleasing, they’re practical choices that maintain their appearance longer in our harsh coastal environment.
Surface preparation is absolutely critical for coastal painting success. We start by power washing every surface with a specialized cleaning solution that removes salt film, mildew, and chalky residue. Standard pressure washing with plain water isn’t enough—salt residue will cause paint failure even if the surface looks clean.
After washing, we scrape and sand all loose or peeling paint, then fill cracks and holes with marine-grade fillers. We pay special attention to caulking around windows, doors, and trim joints because water infiltration is the fastest way to ruin a coastal paint job.
Finally, we apply a high-quality primer designed for coastal conditions. This isn’t optional—primer creates the bond between your prepared surface and the topcoat, and it provides an additional moisture barrier. We never skip this step, even on previously painted surfaces, because coastal conditions are too harsh to risk adhesion problems.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Salisbury Point, but timing depends more on weather patterns than calendar dates. We need at least 48 hours of dry weather for proper curing, and temperatures between 50-85°F work best for most paint systems.
The challenge in coastal areas is humidity and sudden weather changes. We monitor marine forecasts carefully because coastal storms can develop quickly. If there’s a storm between coats, we’ll wash the surface again before applying the next coat—salt spray can contaminate partially cured paint.
We also avoid painting in direct sunlight when possible. The combination of salt air and intense UV exposure can cause paint to cure too quickly, leading to brush marks and adhesion problems. Early morning and late afternoon often provide the best conditions for application.
Exterior painting costs in Salisbury Point typically range from $3,000-$8,000 for an average-sized home, but coastal properties often require premium materials and additional preparation that affects pricing. The investment is worth it when you consider that proper coastal painting lasts 3-4 times longer than standard paint jobs.
Several factors influence cost in our area: proximity to the water (more salt exposure requires more prep work), condition of existing paint, type of siding, and size of the project. Homes that haven’t been painted recently often need extensive surface preparation, which increases labor costs but ensures better results.
We provide detailed, itemized estimates that break down material and labor costs. While coastal-grade paint systems cost more upfront, they save money long-term by lasting longer and requiring less frequent repainting. We also offer our exclusive warranty, so you’re protected if any issues arise with materials or workmanship.
Yes, we back every exterior painting project with our exclusive Limited Warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. This warranty is specifically designed for coastal conditions and covers issues like premature peeling, fading, or adhesion failure when proper maintenance is followed.
Our warranty terms vary based on the paint system used and environmental exposure, but typically range from 5-10 years for materials and 2-3 years for labor. We stand behind our work because we use proven coastal-grade materials and follow proper application procedures that we’ve refined over 20 years in this environment.
The warranty requires basic maintenance like annual washing to remove salt buildup, but it provides real protection for your investment. If covered issues arise, we’ll return to make repairs at no charge. This level of backing is only possible because we use premium materials and proven techniques that we know will perform in Salisbury Point’s challenging coastal conditions.
