"Jacob is the MAN! Jacob is a complete business professional. He brings the white collar management to the blue collar workspace, which was really refreshing. He is always prompt to respond and on time every day. We got him to paint our whole house exterior and it was such a very organized process and great quality. Complete Home Painting was a great team all together, high quality and efficient. You know it's great work when the neighbors ask for their number too."
"Complete Home Painting has, by choice, been the only painting contractor that I have used for at least the last 15 years. They have done inside and outside work, which has included painting, staining, pressure washing, and popcorn ceiling removal. Not one single time have I ever been less than totally and completely pleased with the results. Their work ethic is incredible and their pricing is more than fair, but most importantly, I trust them implicitly."
Birmingham's Housing Stock Is Diverse. The Prep Has to Reflect That.
Birmingham has one of the most varied residential landscapes in Alabama: craftsman bungalows and older construction in established neighborhoods, mid-century homes in the inner suburbs, newer builds in developing areas throughout the metro. Each presents different surface conditions, different prep requirements, and different product needs. Getting it right requires an assessment, not an assumption.
Complete Home Painting has been part of the Greater Birmingham area since 1987. We know the housing stock, we know what Alabama's climate does to different surface types over time, and we know how to prepare and coat each one correctly. Our reputation here has been built one referral at a time, and that tells you more about our work than anything we'd say about ourselves.
- Individual surface assessment before any product recommendation is made
- Pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming, no steps skipped
- Premium products matched to the specific surface type and exposure conditions
- Trim, soffit, fascia, and accent detail work handled with the same care as the main siding
- A final walkthrough, we don't consider it done until you do
Exterior Services Built for Birmingham's Range of Homes
From full repaints on Birmingham's historic craftsman homes to targeted trim work and surface repair on the metro's newer construction, here's what our exterior painting services include.
Full Exterior Repaints
A complete exterior repaint in Birmingham starts the same way regardless of the home's age or style: a proper surface assessment, thorough prep on every elevation, and a premium two-coat finish selected for Alabama's climate. We've worked on every type of Birmingham housing stock and know what each one requires.
Historic Home Exterior Work
Birmingham's older neighborhoods feature homes with layered paint histories, aging wood, and surfaces that need more careful prep and more product-specific thinking than newer construction. We're comfortable with this work and assess every historic-stock home individually before recommending an approach.
Trim & Accent Painting
On Birmingham's craftsman-style homes especially, the trim is the defining visual feature: wide eaves, decorative brackets, detailed window surrounds. We take the time to mask, prep, and paint each element correctly, because that's where the quality of the finished result shows.
Surface Repair & Prep
Caulking failures, cracked siding, peeling paint from prior jobs, Birmingham homes accumulate these issues over time, and they compound when they're not addressed before painting. We identify and correct every surface issue during the prep phase, before any topcoat goes on.
Wood Repair & Replacement
Older Birmingham homes commonly have rot in fascia, soffits, and trim from years of moisture exposure. We identify and repair or replace deteriorated wood during the prep phase, because a premium finish over compromised wood doesn't last and doesn't protect the structure underneath.
Pressure Washing
Birmingham's humidity means mildew, algae, and surface buildup accumulate faster than homeowners expect. A thorough pressure wash is the mandatory first step on every exterior project we take on, and we offer standalone washing for homes, driveways, sidewalks, and commercial properties throughout the metro.
