Siding & Exterior Painting: Coastal-Ready Guide (Galveston Edition)

Fresh siding and paint can make your home feel brand new—and near the Gulf, the prep and materials matter as much as the color. Here’s how we build curb appeal that lasts.

Siding that plays well with salt air

  • Fiber-cement or quality engineered siding: stable, holds paint well, and resists pests.

  • PVC/rot-resistant trim: crisp lines without soft spots later.

  • Right fasteners: stainless or hot-dip galvanized.

  • Flashing & weather details: clean window/door transitions, kick-out flashing, and sealed penetrations.

We can mock up lap, board-and-batten, or mixed styles so you can visualize the look.


Exterior paint that holds up

  • Thorough prep: wash, scrape, sand, fill, and prime where needed—especially cut edges and end grain.

  • Coatings made for the coast: UV-tough, flexible finishes with the right primers.

  • Smart color choices: lighter colors reflect heat and fade less; deeper tones need specific bases.

  • Quality caulks & sealants: flexible, paintable, and built for expansion.

Share inspiration photos anytime; we’ll turn them into sample options that also fit HOA requirements when needed.


Timeline & weather windows

We plan paint days around wind, humidity, and temperature for a clean, lasting finish. If the forecast shifts, we adjust and keep you updated.


Add-ons that boost curb appeal

  • New entry door color

  • Coastal-rated lighting

  • Gutters/splash control

  • Porch/column trim updates


Maintenance made easy

A light wash once or twice a year, quick touch-ups on high-sun walls, and keeping landscaping off the siding can add years to your finish.
