Waxhaw is a mix of old and new. There are older homes near the historic downtown and along the rail line, and there are large newer neighborhoods like Millbridge, Cureton and Lawson where families have moved in over the last 15 years. Perfection Painting Pros paints both, and after more than 15 years working around Charlotte, we know that each kind of home needs a different approach.
Older Waxhaw homes often have wood trim with many layers of paint, doors that have been painted shut over the years, and walls with patches from past repairs. We take the time to scrape, sand and prime those surfaces properly so the new paint bonds and the trim looks crisp again. Where the original woodwork is worth keeping, we work carefully around it.
In newer communities, the work is usually about replacing thin builder paint, updating colors, and dealing with the nail pops and settling cracks every new house develops. We repaint with durable, washable finishes and make sure the transitions between open living areas look clean.
Our work is backed by a 1-year warranty, and you don’t pay until the job is finished and you’re satisfied.
A lot of the homes in Waxhaw’s newer neighborhoods are now 8 to 15 years old, which is about when the original exterior paint starts to fade and the caulk begins to fail. Perfection Painting Pros has painted homes around Charlotte for more than 15 years, and many of our Waxhaw jobs are a home’s first full repaint.
Builder exterior paint is often a single thin coat. The sunny sides of the house fade first, and the trim and caulk joints go next. We clean the siding, replace failed caulk, spot prime and apply a full new system so the second paint job lasts longer than the first.
Waxhaw’s older homes near downtown have wood siding and trim that need scraping, sanding and wood repair before paint. We take the time to do that prep properly.
Many Waxhaw communities have HOA rules on exterior colors, and we can help with your color submission.
Every exterior starts with a walkthrough and written estimate, then pressure washing, scraping, repairs, caulking and priming before any finish coat. Our work is backed by a 1-year warranty, and you don’t pay until the job is complete and you’re satisfied.
Do you paint older homes with a lot of trim?
Yes. Older homes with detailed trim and built-ins are some of our favorite projects. They take more prep, and we plan for that in the estimate.
How far out are you booking?
It depends on the season. Interior work is easiest to schedule in late fall and winter, so that is a good time to get on the calendar.
When does a newer Waxhaw home need its first repaint?
Usually somewhere between 8 and 12 years, sooner on sides that take full afternoon sun.
Do you replace old caulk?
Yes. Failed caulk is one of the main ways water gets behind siding and trim, so we remove and replace it where needed.
Can you match our current colors?
Yes. We can match your existing colors exactly if you want to keep the same look.
We paint inside and out, so one visit covers both. See our interior painting and exterior painting services for the full details. Call 704-200-4268 or request a free estimate online.
