What Your Neighbors Are Saying

★★★★★

"I have just used Complete Home Painting for the second time. Last summer they painted the exterior of my home (in the sweltering heat). They do an excellent job, they show up when they say they will, they clean up behind themselves and are very professional. They are trustworthy, people that I was comfortable leaving alone in my home."

— Lindy Edwards
★★★★★

"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."

About This Service

Exterior Painting in Homewood Requires More Care. We Bring It.

Exterior painting on Homewood's older homes is not the same job as painting new construction. Surfaces have more history: previous coatings to assess, wood that needs more careful prep, trim details that define the home's architectural character. A rushed paint job on a home like this doesn't just look wrong, it can obscure the very features that make the home worth maintaining.

Complete Home Painting has been working on homes like these throughout the Birmingham metro since 1987. We slow down on the prep work so the finished result looks like it belongs on the house. We assess every surface individually, address what needs addressing before any paint goes on, and apply products appropriate for the age and type of what we're working with.

  • Individual surface assessment, older homes require more nuanced prep decisions
  • Pressure washing with appropriate technique for aged siding, wood, and masonry
  • Scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming before any topcoat goes on
  • Color matching available to blend new work with the home's existing finish
  • A final walkthrough, we don't leave until the result looks right for the home

What We Cover

Exterior Services That Honor Homewood's Neighborhood Character

From full exterior repaints on Homewood's character-rich homes to targeted surface repair and architectural detail work, here's what our exterior services include.

Full Exterior Repaints

A full exterior repaint on a Homewood home requires the same thing it always has: the patience to do the prep correctly. Older surfaces, multiple prior coating layers, wood that needs more attention. We assess every elevation before we start and bring the thoroughness these homes deserve.

Architectural Detail & Trim Work

Homewood homes often feature original trim profiles, decorative brackets, wide eaves, and window surrounds that define the home's character. We take the time to mask, prep, and paint these details correctly, because in a Homewood neighborhood, that's where the quality of the finished work shows.

Wood Repair & Replacement

Older wood siding, trim boards, and fascia on Homewood homes often need more than paint. We scrape layered coatings, sand deteriorated surfaces, replace damaged boards, and prime correctly before any topcoat goes on, restoring the wood properly so the finish lasts and the structure stays protected.

Masonry & Painted Brick

Painted brick is common on Homewood's older homes and requires specific prep chemistry and low-pressure technique. We know how to clean and prepare masonry surfaces without damage, and select products appropriate for breathable masonry applications.

Pressure Washing

Homewood's mature tree canopy means mildew, algae, and organic growth accumulate on surfaces faster than in more open neighborhoods. We assess every surface before starting and use appropriate pressure and technique for each material, critical on older wood siding and painted masonry.

Surface Prep & Caulking

Caulk failures, hairline cracks, and surfaces where prior coatings are letting go are common on older Homewood homes. We identify and correct each issue during the prep phase, so the new finish goes on over a surface that's genuinely ready for it.

Painting That Honors Homewood's Neighborhood Character

Homewood is one of Birmingham's most distinctive communities: a city with its own identity, its own walkable neighborhoods, and homes that carry real architectural character. Older construction means surfaces with more history: layers of paint, wood that needs more attention, details that define the home. Complete Home Painting has been working on homes like these since 1987. We bring the preparation and patience that older, character-rich homes require: honest assessment of what each surface needs, thorough prep before any paint goes on, and a finished result that looks right for the home it's on. Whether you're in Edgewood, near the Lakeshore area, or anywhere else in Homewood, the standard is the same on every job.

Pressure Washing in Homewood, AL

Homewood's tree canopy means mildew and organic growth accumulate on siding, trim, and masonry faster than in more open neighborhoods, and on older homes, too much pressure during washing can cause damage that's expensive to repair.

Common Questions

Exterior Painting in Homewood, AL — FAQs

Have questions about painting an older Homewood home or a commercial property in the area? We're happy to walk through the details.

Do you have experience painting older homes in Homewood?
Yes. Older homes with real architectural character are a significant part of the work we do throughout the Birmingham metro. We know how to assess surfaces with layered paint histories, how to prep wood that needs more attention than new construction, and how to approach each home with the care and patience its age requires.
Can you match the existing exterior color on my older Homewood home?
In most cases, yes. We can color-match existing paint using a sample from the home's current surface, which is useful for partial repaints where new work needs to blend with what's already there.
How do you handle painted brick on Homewood homes?
Carefully. Painted masonry requires low-pressure washing, specific cleaning chemistry, and breathable products that allow moisture to escape through the brick over time. We assess masonry surfaces individually and select products appropriate for the material.
Does the mature tree canopy in Homewood affect the exterior painting process?
Yes. More shade and moisture retention mean mildew and organic growth accumulate faster on surfaces in heavily canopied neighborhoods. We account for this in the prep process and select products that perform well in lower-light, higher-moisture conditions.
How long does an exterior paint job in Homewood typically take?
Most residential exterior projects take 2 to 5 days. Older homes with more prep needs may take longer. We'll give you an honest, realistic timeline during the estimate based on what we actually see.
