Exterior Painting in Alabaster, AL

Alabaster's older brick ranches frequently have painted brick that is now peeling and chalking, requiring proper preparation before a new coating can succeed. Newer homes with vinyl and HardiPlank siding fade in Alabama's intense summer UV, especially on south- and west-facing elevations. The area's humidity means any exterior paint job needs to include thorough mildew treatment and priming to ensure the new finish bonds properly and resists the persistent moisture.

$2,500 - $6,000 for most Alabaster homes

Local Tip

If your brick was previously painted with latex and it's peeling, a mineral-based masonry paint or limewash is a better long-term solution — it bonds chemically to the brick rather than forming a film that traps moisture.
