in Bessemer, AL
Many Bessemer exteriors carry the scars of decades of weather and deferred maintenance — peeling paint, exposed wood, and occasional rot that must be addressed before new paint can succeed. EPA lead-paint certification is critical for pre-1978 homes, which make up a significant portion of the Bessemer housing stock. A quality exterior restoration here involves wood repair, thorough scraping, caulking, priming, and two coats of durable acrylic paint that seals and protects the home for years.
