Exterior painting in Metro Atlanta
Exterior House Painting Built for the Atlanta Climate
Atlanta sun, humidity and summer storms are hard on exterior paint. If the prep is skipped, the paint cracks, bubbles and peels early. Atlanta Painting Company has painted house exteriors across metro Atlanta since 2006. We scrape, repair, seal and prime before the finish coats go on. We're family-owned, licensed, bonded, insured and TrustDALE certified, and every job carries a 3-year warranty on labor and materials.

Our Prep Process
How we prep a house exterior
Prep is most of the job, and it is built into every estimate we write. We walk the house with you first and put the repair list in writing before the crew starts. On homes built before 1978, we settle lead testing and a lead-safe plan before anyone disturbs a suspect coating.
Power washing
We wash the house first and let it dry. That takes off the pine pollen, mildew and red clay splash along the foundation that paint will not bond to.
Scraping
We scrape off loose paint and weak edges. Soft wood and wood rot get cut out and replaced before any primer goes on.
Sanding
Sanding feathers patched areas and scuffs glossy surfaces so new paint can grip.
Caulking
Open joints and gaps at trim, windows and siding get caulked. Paint is not a filler.
Priming
Bare wood, patches and stains get the primer that matches the surface. On cedar and redwood, primer blocks tannin bleed.
Protecting landscaping
Roofs, walkways, plants and windows stay covered and taped off while we work.
We also handle siding painting, trim and molding, pressure washing, gutters, brick painting, and deck and fence staining.
Questions, answered
Exterior painting questions
How long does exterior paint last in Georgia humidity?
Usually 7 to 10 years in metro Atlanta. Good prep and the right paint get you to the long end. Humidity, pine pollen, red clay splash, shade from hardwoods and strong west-wall sun shorten it. We use a high-flex acrylic on most siding and a breathable masonry system on brick.
How much of the job is prep?
Most of it. We wash off pine pollen and red clay before we paint, and we repair wood before any primer goes on.
Do you protect my landscaping and roof?
Yes. Roofs, walkways, plants and windows stay covered while we work.
When should we test for lead?
Before anyone disturbs a suspect coating in a home built before 1978. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint. We settle the testing and lead-safe plan first.
Do I have to buy the paint?
No. We supply the paint, primers, sealants and masking.
How do you plan around Atlanta weather?
We schedule each coat around the forecast. Before we start, we check humidity, rain, surface temperature, pollen, shade and drying time.
Do all exterior materials use the same primer?
No. Wood, fiber cement, stucco, masonry, metal and already-painted surfaces each need their own prep and primer.
Will you paint unpainted brick?
Only if you ask and the brick can take it. We may also suggest a mineral finish like Romabio or Keim.
Are you licensed and insured in Georgia?
Yes. Atlanta Painting Company is licensed, bonded and insured.
What warranty comes with the work?
Three years on labor and materials, in writing.
How long does it take to paint a house exterior?
Most homes take 3 to 5 business days. Heavy wood repair, masonry prep, weather or an HOA color review can add days. Your written proposal gives the real window.
Do you handle HOA color approval?
Yes, we help. Your board or property manager approves the colors. We bring samples and product sheets for them to review.
