Homes that face the weather head-on

A Kiawah home sits closer to the elements than almost anywhere in the Lowcountry. Salt spray rides in off the Atlantic, the marsh keeps the air heavy with moisture, and summer sun bakes every south- and west-facing wall. Paint that would last for years inland can chalk, blister or peel far sooner here, so we plan every Kiawah project around the exposure of the house in front of us.

Exterior: wash, prep, caulk and coatings that breathe

Every exterior starts with a thorough wash to strip salt film and mildew, because paint won’t bond to either. Then comes the prep that decides how long the job lasts: scraping and sanding loose paint, priming bare wood, and re-caulking every joint where wind-driven rain can get in. We finish with premium acrylic coatings that flex with the wood and let moisture escape instead of trapping it.

Interiors and cabinets

Inside, we bring the same care to walls, trim, ceilings and cabinet refinishing, using durable, washable finishes that stand up to sandy feet and humid air. Furniture is moved and protected, and we clean up as we go.
