Siding, trim, shutters, soffits and porches, washed and primed before any finish goes on. Every job starts with a free written estimate at the property.
Exterior · New OrleansWhat is included
At Big Easy Painters, we paint the whole outside of a house: siding, trim, shutters, soffits, porches and doors. The washing and priming that make a coat last are part of the job, not an extra.
Wood, fibre cement, stucco and brick, each primed for what it is.
The edges that fail first in this climate, cut in by hand.
Taken down where they need to come down, so the edges are covered.
Floors, ceilings, columns and balustrades, sanded back where needed.
Dirt, chalking and loose paint come off before anything is applied.
Soft wood and open joints are made good before the primer.
Why us
Because the preparation is written into the scope, and the crew working on your house is local to the parishes.
Fully covered in Louisiana, on every job we take on.
Scope, preparation, product and price before we start. No verbal numbers.
Paint does not bond to dirt or chalk. Washing is a line item, not a favor.
We work to the forecast, because a coat caught by rain has to come off again.
Painters working across the parishes, so you meet the people on your ladder.
Beds covered, paths swept, and the drop sheets taken with us.
On the job
Siding, trim and porch work on New Orleans houses. These are the surfaces this climate is hardest on.
Process
Four steps: you book a visit, we walk the outside, you get a written estimate, then we wash, prepare and paint. The order is agreed before we start.
Call or send the form. We agree a time and confirm it beforehand.
We look at every elevation, the trim and the condition of the wood.
Scope, preparation, product and price, in writing. No verbal numbers.
Washing, repairs and priming first, then the finish coats.

Questions
How often a house needs repainting here, what the weather does to a coat, and what happens with older paint.
Sooner than the tin suggests, because humidity, sun and wind-driven rain all shorten the life of a coat here. The signs to watch are chalking, fading on the sun-facing walls, and paint lifting at the trim and joints.
Yes, and it appears in the written scope. Dirt, chalking and mildew stop paint bonding, which is why washing is the step that decides whether the finish holds.
We work to the forecast and stop before rain reaches the wet coat, because a coat caught by rain has to be taken back off. That is also why the schedule is agreed rather than fixed.
Not directly. Loose and lifting paint is scraped and sanded back to a sound edge first, then primed, because a finish laid over failing paint fails with it.
Yes. Each surface takes a different primer and a different product, and the estimate names what is going on yours.
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, and the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule sets how those surfaces must be disturbed. Tell us the age of the house and we will cover it at the walk-through.
It depends on the size of the house, the condition of the surfaces and the weather. We set the order of work out at the estimate rather than promising a number of days over the phone.
Yes. We walk the property, look at the actual surfaces, and put scope, preparation, product and price in writing, with no obligation to book.
