Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

Why does paint fail faster near the water in Cohasset?

Salt. It settles on every elevation, accelerates coating breakdown and corrodes fasteners, and wind-driven rain forces moisture into caulk joints and end grain. Exterior specs here have to account for it.

How often will I need to repaint?

Sooner than an inland house — expect the exposed elevations to need attention before the sheltered ones, and plan on spot maintenance between full repaints.

Do you wash before painting?

Always, and it matters more here. Salt film and mildew both prevent bonding, and washing is the first step of every exterior job we do.

Can you handle a full building envelope?

Yes — wash, scrape, carpentry repair, prime and finish. On coastal properties the carpentry is usually a bigger share of the job than owners expect.

Are you licensed and insured?
