What changes here

Painting in Hammond

Hammond grew up around the crossing of two rail lines, and its downtown is a walkable grid of restored buildings, with the 1920s Columbia Theatre at the center of it.

Older stock

Old siding, old millwork and old paint mean most of the day goes into preparation. On an older frontage the finish is only ever as good as what was scraped, filled and primed underneath it.

Where we work in Hammond

The parts of Hammond we are in most.

Downtown Hammond

The restored historic core. Older commercial facades, detailed trim and a lot of brush work.

Cate Square

The historic square in the middle of downtown, with the older residential stock around it.

Near Southeastern

The university side of town, with a mix of rentals and family houses that turn over on different schedules.

Around Zemurray Park

Established residential streets with mature trees and the shade that comes with them.

Conditions

What Hammond does to a paint job

Four things that change the work here, and what each one means for the schedule and the price.

Further inland, still humid

Hammond sits well north of the lake, so it misses the lakefront moisture entirely. It does not miss the humidity. Summer dew points still set the schedule here.

Pine country

The area was settled for its pine, and pine pollen and resin land on exteriors right the way through spring. All of that comes off before anything is coated over it.

Restored commercial facades

Downtown work is a different job from residential work. Taller elevations. Older substrates, and trim that has to be cut in by hand.

Storm season

June 1 to November 30. Inland is not immune, it just drains faster.
