Cedar-shake cottage shutters

Paint failing off the shutters in sheets and siding gone chalky. Every shutter pulled, scraped, primed, and recoated in deep green, with the siding and casings brought back at the same time.

Gable shutters & scalloped shingles

Roof-level work most crews skip. Drop cloths over the shingles, shutters and scallops cut by hand — the gable now matches the rest of the house instead of dating it.

Back elevation with dull, weather-streaked cedar shake siding and grey window trim above a faded deck
Before
Same elevation with clean butter-yellow shakes, bright white casings, and a freshly stained deck
After

Back porch elevation

The side of the house nobody was proud of. Washed, primed where needed, and recoated — siding, casings, and deck all finished as one project.

Weathered pale blue porch steps covered in pine needles with worn white risers

Porch steps refinish

Painting in Lewes: common questions

Do you paint historic Lewes homes near Second Street?
We do. Historic Lewes exteriors need patient prep on original trim, shutters, and porch details, plus colors that sit right next to the neighboring homes. Jessica helps pull a palette that feels current without fighting the streetscape.
How do you handle sun and salt on bayfront and canal-front homes?
Water-facing elevations wear out first. We inspect flashing lines and caulk joints, replace failed sealant, and use finishes rated for UV and coastal exposure on the sides taking the most weather.
How soon can you start?
Most estimates are scheduled within a few days of your request, and interior work typically starts within two to three weeks depending on the season. Exterior work is booked around weather windows, so spring and early fall fill first.
What does a project usually cost?
Most projects start around $3,000+. Final pricing always comes from an on-site walkthrough, where we measure, check surface condition, and quote Good, Better, and Signature options so you can choose the scope that fits.
