Everything You Need to Know About Exterior House Painting in North Georgia
If you're a homeowner in North Georgia, giving your house a fresh coat of paint can do more than just improve curb appeal—it can protect your investment and add value to your property. At Modern Oak Painting, we specialize in exterior painting services designed to hold up against Georgia’s unique climate, and we believe in doing things right the first time.
Why Exterior Painting Matters
Your home’s exterior paint is its first line of defense against weather, moisture, and UV damage. Quality exterior paint can:
Prevent wood rot and siding decay
Improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat
Boost your home’s curb appeal and resale value
But not all painting services are created equal.
Prep Work is over 80% of the Job
One of the reasons homeowners in Alpharetta, Cumming, and Johns Creek choose Modern Oak Painting is because we put in the prep work:
Power washing to remove mold, mildew, and dirt
Scraping loose or flaking paint
Repairing failed caulking and sealing gaps
Replacing any rotted trim or wood
Prep is where most painters cut corners—we don’t.
Choosing the Right Paint
We use Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint or equivalent top-tier coatings that resist peeling, fading, and mildew. Popular finishes include:
Satin for durability and easy cleaning
Flat for a more traditional, muted look
And yes—we help you choose colors too. Our team can offer suggestions based on current exterior paint color trends in Georgia or you can try out combinations with a virtual paint visualizer.
When’s the Best Time to Paint?
In North Georgia, late spring through early fall is ideal for exterior painting. Temperatures should be between 50–85°F with low humidity. We also avoid painting if rain is forecast within 24 hours.
How Much Does Exterior Painting Cost?
For a standard home, exterior painting in areas like Suwanee or Roswell typically ranges between $3,000 and $6,500, depending on:
Number of stories
Condition of the siding and trim
Whether carpentry or wood replacement is needed
Paint type and number of coats
We offer free painting estimates with no obligation.
