Exterior Restoration & Painting

Project Spotlight: Fascia & Siding Replacement with Premium Exterior Paint Application

In the heart of Charlotte’s Dilworth Historic District, our team recently completed a stunning exterior painting and restoration project that perfectly balanced craftsmanship with curb appeal. The goal of this project was more than just a fresh coat of paint—it was a full exterior refresh that involved structural repair, meticulous surface prep, and the application of premium materials to ensure long-term beauty and protection for this beautiful brick home.

Preserving the Historic Charm of a Dilworth Home

Dilworth is one of Charlotte’s most cherished historic neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and timeless curb appeal. We take great pride in helping homeowners in this area maintain the character of their homes while adding modern protection through our expert exterior residential painting services.

For this project, the homeowner contacted us after noticing peeling paint and signs of wood rot around several areas of their home, including:

• The fascia boards
• Dormer soffits
• Upper wood siding accents
  

These are high-impact architectural features that frame the roofline and elevate the home’s curb appeal. When left untreated, rot and weather damage in these areas can lead to structural issues and costly long-term repairs.

Scope of Work: Exterior Restoration + Painting Services

Our licensed and insured team in Charlotte followed a comprehensive process to deliver professional results that would last for years to come.

✅ Initial Inspection & Material Assessment

We started with a full walkaround and inspection, identifying problem areas with deteriorated wood, moisture damage, and paint failure. We determined that several fascia boards and sections of wood siding had to be replaced entirely to maintain the integrity and performance of the exterior.

✅ Fascia and Wood Siding Replacement

We removed rotted fascia boards along the roofline and installed new, primed replacements using rot-resistant material pre-treated to withstand moisture and UV exposure. For the dormers and upper siding areas, we replaced deteriorated clapboard with new boards, carefully matching the existing profile for a seamless aesthetic.

This type of specialty carpentry is critical in historic neighborhoods like Dilworth where preserving the home’s character matters just as much as performance.

✅ Surface Prep and Priming

As with every exterior painting project we take on in Charlotte, surface preparation was key. Our prep process included:

• Hand scraping all loose or peeling paint
• Sanding edges for smooth transitions
• Caulking joints, seams, and nail holes
• Priming new and bare wood surfaces with a high-adhesion exterior primer
  

These steps ensure that the final finish adheres properly, looks beautiful, and resists chipping or fading over time.

Using Premium Paint for Long-Term Protection

To protect the home against Charlotte’s unpredictable weather—from hot summers and high humidity to winter rain—we selected Sherwin-Williams “Duration Exterior”, a premium exterior paint formulated for superior durability.

This top-tier paint provides:

• Exceptional adhesion and fade resistance
• Mildew resistance for the humid North Carolina climate
• A flexible finish that resists cracking and peeling
• Long-lasting color retention
  

The homeowner selected a subtle, modern color palette that blended beautifully with the existing red brick and crisp white trim—maintaining the historic charm while giving the exterior a refreshed, high-end look.

Project Highlights: Attention to Detail from Top to Bottom

Our experienced crew worked safely and efficiently on ladders and scaffolding to reach the highest points of the home’s dormers and gables. Every detail mattered, including:

• Matching the texture and scale of the siding and fascia boards
• Protecting all windows, doors, and hardscaping with drop cloths and tape
• Keeping the job site clean and organized throughout each phase
• Final walkthrough and touch-ups to ensure flawless execution
  

Even the home’s front porch ceiling and trim work were carefully repainted to create a consistent and polished final look.
