Common Painting Challenges in Waxhaw, NC

Waxhaw sits in the Piedmont, a wooded region of rolling hills, and much of its housing is new while its center is old. Here is what we would check first on a Waxhaw house.

• Mildew on shaded walls. Wooded lots keep parts of a house in shade, and shaded siding stays damp longer through a humid Carolina summer. Mildew grows on that paint, and pressure washing it off is part of prep before a new coat goes on.
• Uneven fading on hilly lots. Rolling ground sets houses at different angles to the sun, so one side can fade and chalk while another still looks fresh. At the estimate we look at each side on its own and tell you honestly which ones need paint now.
• First repaint over builder paint. The housing count nearly doubled between 2010 and 2020. If your house is still on its first coat, keep in mind that builder paint is often thin, so a proper repaint starts with cleaning, patching nail pops and drywall dings, and priming the repairs.
• Hard-working family rooms. Children under 18 lived in 58.8 percent of Waxhaw households at the 2020 census. Walls in halls, stairwells and bedrooms take a beating in those homes, and a washable eggshell or satin holds up better than flat paint.
• Old paint layers downtown. Houses near the historic center can carry many coats. When the bottom layers let go, everything above them peels, so we scrape to sound paint and prime bare wood before the finish coats.

Whether your Waxhaw house is old or new, the free estimate is where we sort out what it needs.
