Complete home painting services: refreshing your home inside and out

Quality painting is about more than just color. It is about protection.

Living on the coast takes a toll on your home's exterior. The combination of bright sun, high humidity, and salt spray causes paint to fade, chalk, and peel much faster here than in other parts of North Carolina. When paint fails, your siding and trim are left exposed to moisture which leads to wood rot and expensive repairs. Smith Roofing and Restoration offers complete exterior and interior painting services to protect your investment and boost your curb appeal.

We approach painting with the same level of detail and discipline as our roofing projects. We know that the difference between a good paint job and a great one is in the preparation. We do not just slap a coat of paint over dirt or peeling layers. We take the time to wash, scrape, sand, and prime surfaces properly so the new paint bonds securely and looks smooth for years to come.

Exterior painting for coastal homes

Your home's exterior is the first thing people see and its first line of defense against the weather. We use high grade exterior paints specifically designed to resist mildew growth and fading from UV rays.

Thorough cleaning. We start every exterior job by removing mold, mildew, and dirt with a soft wash or pressure wash. Paint simply will not stick to a dirty surface.

Surface repair. We inspect your siding, fascia, and soffits for rot. Since we are also experienced carpenters and roofers, we can replace damaged wood before we paint rather than just painting over the problem.

Caulking and sealing. We caulk gaps around windows, doors, and trim to prevent water intrusion and improve your home's energy efficiency. This step is vital for keeping moisture out of your walls.

Application. We apply paint using a combination of spraying and back rolling to ensure an even coat that gets into the texture of the siding. We protect your landscaping and concrete from overspray.

Interior painting services

Whether you want to brighten up a living room, change the mood of a bedroom, or refresh your entire home, our interior painting services deliver clean lines and smooth finishes.

Protecting your belongings. We treat your home with respect. We move furniture to the center of the room and cover it with clean plastic. We cover your floors with drop cloths to ensure not a single drop of paint lands where it should not.

Wall preparation. We fill nail holes, repair drywall cracks, and sand rough patches to create a flawless surface. If you have water stains from a previous roof leak, we use specialized stain blocking primers to ensure they do not bleed through the topcoat.

Trim and doors. We paint baseboards, crown molding, doors, and window casings to give the room a crisp, finished look. We use durable semi gloss or satin finishes on trim that are easy to clean and resist scuff marks.

Why hire a professional painter?

Painting is one of those jobs that looks easy until you start doing it. DIY projects often result in messy cut lines, uneven coverage, and paint on the carpet. Hiring Smith Roofing and Restoration saves you time and guarantees a result you will be proud to show off. We have the right ladders, sprayers, and tools to handle high ceilings and difficult angles safely. We finish jobs quickly and clean up thoroughly so you can get back to enjoying your home without the stress of a half finished project.

Questions and answers

Common painting questions

Here are answers to the questions homeowners in Jacksonville ask us about our painting services.

Yes. This is mandatory for a lasting finish. We wash the exterior to remove chalky residue, dirt, and mildew. If we painted over a dirty surface, the new paint would peel off very quickly.
We use premium exterior paints from trusted brands like Sherwin Williams. We select specific products that offer mold resistance and UV protection which are essential for homes in coastal North Carolina.
Yes. Unlike dedicated painting companies that might just paint over rot, our background in restoration means we can replace rotten fascia boards, window trim, or siding planks to ensure your home is solid before we apply the paint.
On the coast, a high quality paint job typically lasts 5 to 7 years depending on the exposure to sun and salt. Regular house washing can help extend the life of the paint by removing salt buildup.

We ask that you remove small items, pictures, and breakables from the room. We can help move larger furniture pieces to the center of the room and cover them with plastic to protect them during the project.
Yes. If you have the old paint can, that is helpful. If not, we can take a small chip of the existing paint to the supply store and have them computer match the color for a seamless blend.
Yes. We fill nail holes, patch dents, and repair minor cracks in the drywall as part of our preparation process. We want the walls to look smooth and new when we are finished.
We typically apply two coats of paint for the best coverage and durability, especially when changing colors. In some cases where we are refreshing the same color on a wall that is in good condition, one coat may be sufficient, but we will discuss this during your estimate.
