"John Britton and his son, Jacob Britton, did a wonderful exterior paint job on our house. We were so impressed with their detailed work restoring the glazing on our old wooden windows during the prep phase. The Brittons are true craftsmen, taking great pride in the quality of their work. We would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing an exterior paint job."
"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."
Irondale's Homes Have Real Exterior History. The Prep Has to Match It.
Irondale's residential streets are lined with homes that have been standing for decades: surfaces that have seen real Alabama weather, accumulated layers of prior coatings, and exterior wood that has needed attention for longer than most homeowners would admit. A paint job on a home like this either holds up or it doesn't, and the difference is almost entirely in the preparation.
Complete Home Painting has been part of the Greater Birmingham community since 1987. We approach every Irondale property the same way: an honest assessment of the current surface condition, correct prep before any product goes on, rotten wood repaired before it's painted over, and a premium finish that protects and holds through Alabama's climate.
- Honest surface assessment, we tell you what the property actually needs
- Thorough pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming
- Rotten wood repair and replacement before any topcoat is applied
- Premium exterior products suited to Alabama's heat and humidity
- A final walkthrough, we don't call a job done until you do
Exterior Services Built for Irondale's Established Homes
From full exterior repaints on homes that have stood for decades to targeted wood repair, trim work, and pressure washing, here's what our exterior services include for Irondale properties.
Full Exterior Repaints
A full repaint on an Irondale home that's been standing for decades isn't the same as painting new construction. We assess every surface before we start, address what needs addressing during prep, and apply a finish that actually holds, not just one that looks good for a season.
Trim & Accent Painting
Shutters, soffits, fascia, window frames, and door details on Irondale's older homes define the home's character. We take the time to prep each trim element correctly, scraping, sanding, and priming before paint goes on, because on homes with real age, the trim is where cutting corners shows first.
Siding & Multi-Surface Prep
Irondale homes span a range of siding types, painted brick, wood, vinyl, and stucco are all common. Each requires different prep chemistry and product selection. We assess every surface type individually before any product goes on.
Rotten Wood Repair & Replacement
Irondale's established homes have had decades of Alabama humidity working on their exterior wood: fascia boards, window frames, trim, and siding all accumulate damage over time. We identify every instance of rot during the assessment, repair or replace what needs it, and only then apply primer and paint.
Pressure Washing
Irondale homes that have been standing for decades have accumulated their share of mildew, algae, and grime. A professional pressure wash reveals a surface you may not have seen in years, and it's always the mandatory first step before any exterior painting project we take on here.
Historic Surface Restoration Prep
For Irondale homes with original wood windows, carved trim, or decorative elements that are deteriorating, we bring the patience to restore rather than cover. Glazing repairs, careful scraping, and the right primer for aged wood surfaces, exactly the approach our customers have called out in their reviews.
Real Work for Irondale's Real Community
Irondale has its own identity: an established Jefferson County city with genuine residential character, a history people are proud of, and a growing energy that's brought new investment and new residents without losing what made it worth staying in the first place. Complete Home Painting has been part of the Greater Birmingham community since 1987, and we approach Irondale projects the same way we approach every other city we serve: honest assessment, thorough prep, rotten wood addressed before it's painted over, and work that stands up over time. From a long-overdue exterior repaint on a home that's been in a family for decades to a fresh coat for a new owner making their mark, we handle the full range with straightforward pricing and a crew that delivers.

On Irondale's older homes, the trim is where the home's character lives, and it's also where the effects of years of deferred maintenance show most clearly. We slow down on the prep work: scraping carefully, sanding deteriorated surfaces, priming correctly for aged wood, and painting with the patience the detail requires. The trim on an Irondale home either looks like it belongs there or it doesn't.

Decades of Alabama humidity have worked on the exterior wood of Irondale's established homes: fascia boards, window frames, exterior trim, and siding boards all accumulate damage over time. We identify every instance of rot during the assessment and repair or replace it before the primer or paint goes on. Covering rotted wood is not how we work, it fails the homeowner and it fails the finish.
