House Painters in Beaufort, NC
Historic homes, waterfront porches and plenty of old wood. Beaufort houses deserve careful prep, and that's how we paint them.
Beaufort homes take patience
Beaufort has some of the oldest houses on the coast, and a lot of them are wood from top to bottom. Wood siding, wood trim, wood porches. It's beautiful, and it needs a painter who's willing to slow down.
Old wood carries years of paint layers, and when the bottom layers start failing, a fresh coat on top won't save it. We scrape and sand what's loose, prime what's bare, and fix the small problems before they become rot. Homes built before 1978 may also have lead paint, which changes how old paint has to be handled.
Closer to the water, Taylor's Creek and the harbor bring the same salt and humidity everyone on the coast fights. Porches and decks feel it first, which is why staining and sealing the wood matters as much as the paint.

On this Beaufort property we deep cleaned and stained the deck, then put down a durable, professional grade epoxy coating in the garage.

The best compliment a paint job on an older home can get is that nobody notices it's new. The trim looks right, the colors suit the house, and the finish lasts.
We'll walk the house with you, point out what's sound and what isn't, and give you a written quote that explains the prep. If it needs more than paint, we'll tell you that too.
From our customers
"Adam was recommended to me by a local paint company. He came out, got right to work and finished two bedrooms and a bath in two and a half days with two coats on everything. He even solved an issue on a window sill that I thought I'd need a carpenter to repair. Thanks, Adam, for a beautiful job."
June Harris
"We had adam paint our bathroom, he did an excellent job and am looking forward to having more work done. He was very professional and knowledgeable we will use him for all our drywall and painting projects in the future."

Porches, shutters and the details
Beaufort homes are known for their porches, trim and shutters, and those details are what people notice from the street. They're also what wears out first. Porch floors take foot traffic and weather, ceilings collect mildew, and shutters fade in the sun.
We give those details the same prep as the siding. Clean, sanded, primed where it's bare, and finished so the lines are crisp. It's slower than painting around them, and it's the reason the house looks right when we're done.
Beaufort painting questions
Do older homes in Beaufort need special prep?
Often, yes. Older wood siding and trim usually have several layers of paint, and some of it may be failing underneath. Homes built before 1978 may also have lead paint, which changes how the old paint has to be handled. We'll look closely and explain what your house needs before we quote it.
Can you do a deck and a garage floor on the same job?
Yes. That's exactly what we did on a recent Beaufort project. The deck got a deep clean and a rich stain, and the garage got a professional grade epoxy coating.
What does painting cost in Beaufort?
Most homes in Carteret County fall between $2.50 and $5.00 per square foot. Older homes that need more scraping and repair tend to land higher. The estimate is free and spells out the prep so you can see where the money goes.
Can you match an existing color on an older home?
Usually, yes. If you have a sample or a spot of the current color that's in good shape, it can be matched. We'll talk through options if you'd like to refresh the colors instead.
Do you paint porch floors and ceilings?
Yes. Porch floors, ceilings, railings and shutters are all part of the work we do on Beaufort homes.
