What Davidson houses have to deal with

Older wood homes near the college

The streets around Davidson College and downtown have some of the oldest houses in north Mecklenburg - wood siding, porch columns, original windows and many layers of paint. They reward slow, careful prep: loose paint scraped and sanded, rotten wood replaced to match the original profile, and anything pre-1978 treated as possible lead paint.

Shade from mature trees

Davidson's tree canopy keeps houses cool but damp. Siding and trim in deep shade grow mildew and stay wet longer after rain, which is where rot starts.

Davidson painting questions

Can you repair old porch columns and trim?

Yes. Rotten sections are cut out and new wood shaped to match. One customer's 1880s house had two-story columns rebuilt so the repair cannot be seen.

My house was built before 1978. What should I know?

It may have lead-based paint under newer coats, and EPA rules govern how anyone paid to disturb it must work. Mention the age of the house when you call.

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.
