Exterior House Painting in Charlotte, NC

Exterior House Painting in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte's humidity, UV exposure, and seasonal storms take a real toll on your home's exterior. Fading paint, peeling trim, and chalky siding don't just look bad — they leave your home exposed to moisture damage, wood rot, and declining property value.

Accents Painting Company has been protecting and beautifying Charlotte homes for over 20 years. We don't just slap paint on siding — we prep, prime, and apply premium coatings designed to withstand North Carolina's climate for years to come.

What's Included in Every Exterior Paint Job

• Power washing — we clean every surface before we touch a brush. Dirt, mildew, and chalk need to come off for paint to bond properly.

• Scraping and sanding — all loose, peeling, or flaking paint gets removed down to a solid surface

• Caulking and sealing — every gap, crack, and joint gets sealed against moisture intrusion

• Primer on bare wood and repaired areas

• Two coats of Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald exterior paint — engineered for humidity, UV, and rain

• Trim, shutters, doors, and fascia boards — we paint the details that make a house look finished

• Full cleanup — landscaping protection, drop cloths, and a final property walkthrough

Our Exterior Painting Process

1. Free Exterior Assessment — We inspect your home's siding, trim, fascia, soffits, and any wood rot or damage. You get a detailed written estimate within 24 hours.

2. Color Selection — Choosing exterior colors is a bigger decision than interior. We help you pick combinations that complement your roof, stonework, and landscaping — and look great in Charlotte's natural light.

3. Power Wash & Prep — This is the most important step and where most contractors cut corners. We power wash, scrape every loose surface, sand, caulk, and prime. A great exterior paint job is 80% prep.

4. Paint Application — Two full coats on body, trim, and all accent areas. We brush and roll for maximum adhesion and durability. Spray where appropriate (like vinyl siding) with back-brushing for a factory-quality finish.

5. Final Walkthrough & Inspection — We walk the entire exterior with you. Every detail gets checked. You don't pay until you're satisfied.
