Ibis paint — Charlotte, NC

With proper preparation and high-quality paint, a professional exterior paint job in Charlotte should last between 5 to 10 years, sometimes longer. The lifespan depends on factors like the quality of the paint used, the preparation of the surfaces, and exposure to harsh weather conditions. Regular maintenance can also extend its life. We aim for lasting results.

A lasting paint job starts with thorough surface preparation. This includes cleaning, scraping loose paint, sanding, and priming any bare wood or repaired areas. A quick job often skips these critical steps, leading to peeling, cracking, and fading much sooner. We invest the time in proper prep for durability. We focus on quality.

The size of your home, the height of the walls, and the complexity of the architectural details are major cost drivers. Homes with extensive trim, multiple stories, or difficult-to-reach areas will require more time and labor. The condition of the existing paint and any necessary repairs also impact the final price. We provide clear quotes.

Primer creates a uniform surface for the topcoat, ensuring better adhesion and color consistency. It helps seal porous surfaces, blocks stains, and can improve the durability of the paint job. For homes in varying climates, primer adds an essential layer of protection. We use primer where needed.

The condition of your siding is critical. If it's damaged, rotten, or has loose boards, repairs will be necessary before painting. The more extensive the repairs, the higher the cost. Proper preparation ensures the new paint adheres well and provides adequate protection. We assess and address all issues.
