What changes here

Painting in Slidell

A large share of Slidell is built on water. Eden Isles and Oak Harbor are canal communities, and a house with a canal behind it does not dry like a house that does not.

On the water

A canal, a levee or a lakefront behind the house holds humidity at ground level. Two ends of one street can be ready to coat at different hours, so the order of the day matters more than the size of the crew.

Where we work in Slidell

The four areas we are in most, and the difference between them.

Olde Towne

The older core north west of Town Center. Historic stock and trim that takes hand work.

Eden Isles

A waterfront community on canals running to Lake Pontchartrain. Constant water on three sides of most lots.

Oak Harbor

A planned development of several communities, much of it on water.

Lakeshore

Mature trees and shaded elevations, so the north side sets the schedule.

Conditions

What Slidell does to a paint job

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

Canal lots hold humidity

In Eden Isles and Oak Harbor there is open water a few feet from the wall, which keeps overnight moisture higher and holds it longer than anywhere inland, and that narrows the daily window for getting a coat on.

Brackish, not salt

The canals run to Lake Pontchartrain, which is brackish. So this is a moisture and mildew problem, not a corrosion one. The fix is prep and product. Not marine coatings.

Boathouses, docks and rails wear differently

Waterside structures take more sun and a great deal more wetting than the house does, so they run on a much shorter repaint clock than the walls standing behind them.

Storm season

June 1 to November 30, and low-lying waterfront lots are the ones to sequence carefully.
