Painting Company in Richmond, VA

Much of Richmond’s older housing is brick, and brick needs to breathe. Painting or sealing it the wrong way traps moisture and leads to peeling and spalling, so we check the masonry first and tell you honestly if it shouldn’t be painted. If your home is in one of Richmond’s Old and Historic Districts, some exterior changes, like painting brick that has never been painted, can need approval from the Commission of Architectural Review. Check with the city before work starts, and we’ll plan the job around it.

Richmond summers are hot and humid, and winters bring freeze-thaw cycles. We schedule exterior work around temperature and dew point, and we fix failing caulk and bare wood so water can’t get behind the new paint. Siding, brick, trim, shutters, doors, porches and decks are all covered.

Older Richmond homes come with plaster walls, detailed trim and, in many cases, paint from before 1978. We prep them carefully and follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) practices where they apply. In newer homes, we handle everything from single rooms to whole-house repaints: walls, ceilings, trim and doors, with furniture and floors covered and the house cleaned up at the end of each day.

Painting your kitchen or bathroom cabinets gives you a new look for far less than replacing them. Cabinet paint lasts only as long as the prep under it, so we clean, degrease, sand and prime before any color goes on, then let the finish cure properly before the doors go back up.
