Commercial Painting in Woodstock, GA

Commercial Painting for Woodstock homes

The core of the stock is the Towne Lake build-out that began in the late 1980s: Eagle Watch, developed by Arvida around an Arnold Palmer golf course and filled in through the early 1990s, then Towne Lake Hills around the Arthur Hills course that opened in 1994, with Wyngate, Rose Creek and the rest following. These are mostly two-story traditional houses, often brick or stone on the front with lap siding on the sides and rear, set on rolling, wooded ground that drains toward Noonday Creek and the Little River arm of the lake. That grade is why so many have full or partial basements, some daylight or walkout, a lot of them still unfinished, and why tall rear decks are common. Downtown is the other end of the range: the Dean House from 1875, the 1894 Century House and early-1900s frame houses along streets like Rope Mill Road, now ringed by the townhomes and small-lot houses of the newer downtown build-out. The old houses mean wood clapboard, plaster and old paint layers; the new ones mean early repaints and finish upgrades.

Commercial Painting on Woodstock houses

Commercial work in Woodstock splits between the old downtown and the corridors that grew with the subdivisions. On and around Main Street, older storefronts stand next to newer mixed-use buildings and townhome blocks from the downtown build-out, and appearance matters more there because downtown is where people walk. Along Highway 92 and Towne Lake Parkway the stock is retail strips, medical and professional offices and restaurants from the 1990s and 2000s, finished in stucco, split-face block and painted metal. Then there are the neighborhood amenity buildings, the clubhouses and pool houses the Towne Lake associations keep up. Working around open hours, foot traffic and downtown events is a big part of every one of these jobs.

What usually gets missed

On a downtown storefront the problem is often what is already on the wall: older masonry painted many times over, with coatings that trap moisture and blister. Putting an elastomeric over that can make it worse. On the corridor buildings, the miss is skipping the sealant, the joints around storefront glass and between stucco panels, which is where water actually gets in. We test the existing coating, check every joint, and plan the work around business hours before we price it.
