Painters in Cornelius, NC
A Touch of a Brush serves Cornelius and the Lake Norman shoreline. Homes near the water take more moisture, mildew and sun than most, so the prep - pressure washing, replacing soft wood and priming bare spots - matters even more here.
What Cornelius houses have to deal with
Lakefront moisture and sun
Houses on and near Lake Norman get damp air off the water on one side and full afternoon sun reflecting off it on the other. That combination breaks paint and stain down faster than inland, especially on decks, docks, railings and the lake-facing walls. Mildew has to be washed off and treated before anything new goes on.
Decks and outdoor living
Many Cornelius homes are built around decks, screened porches and outdoor living space. Wood that is walked on and rained on needs a stain or sealer, not a film that peels - and loose boards and rails get fixed first.

Cornelius painting questions
Do you stain decks and porches?
Yes - decks are pressure washed, repaired where needed and stained or sealed. Railings, shutters and wooden doors too.
Will mildew come back after painting?
Mildew grows on the surface, not in sound paint, and it comes back wherever shade and moisture let it. Exterior customers get a free pressure wash every year for five years, which keeps it in check.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes - in Albert's words, "a 5 year warranty that includes one free inspection and pressure washing per year for 5 years." He goes through it at the free estimate.
