Painting in New Orleans
Painting in New Orleans means working on old wood: shotguns and camelbacks with cypress siding, double galleries with turned columns, cottages raised on piers. The houses are beautiful and they are demanding. Siding that has been painted twenty times needs scraping and spot priming, not another coat on top. Porch ceilings get their haint blue. Inside, plaster walls need patching before a roller touches them. We paint Uptown, Mid-City, the Marigny and Bywater, Lakeview, Gentilly and Algiers Point the same way: prep first, then color.
Shotgun houses, Creole cottages and camelbacks
Painting a shotgun house or a Creole cottage is carpentry-minded prep: cypress siding that has carried twenty coats, brackets and turned columns, double galleries, shutters on strap hinges. We scrape to a sound layer, spot prime, caulk the joints the rain finds, and brush the detail by hand. The porch ceiling gets its haint blue, the door its color, the trim its white.
Historic home painters in Uptown, the Marigny and Bywater
In the historic districts, exterior changes visible from the street can need a review before the color changes; we help you prepare the submission and wait for it before the first can opens. Inside, plaster walls are patched and skim-coated before paint, and pre-1978 layers are handled with lead-safe work practices.

Questions from New Orleans homeowners
What are the common house styles in New Orleans, and do they change the paint job?
Shotguns and camelbacks, Creole cottages, raised center-hall houses, double-gallery homes. Each adds wood detail: brackets, columns, railings, shutters. More detail means more prep and more brush work, and the estimate lists it piece by piece.
Do I need approval to repaint in a historic district?
For exterior work visible from the street in some New Orleans historic districts, yes, a review may be required before changing colors. Interior painting does not need approval. Check with the city’s historic district commission for your address; we can help you prepare what they ask for.
My house is from before 1978. Is lead paint a problem?
It can be. Older layers may contain lead, so any sanding or scraping follows lead-safe practices: contained areas, wet methods, no open dust, careful cleanup. Tell us the age of the house when you request the estimate.
Do you paint doubles and rentals between tenants?
Yes. A turnover repaint is a common job here: walls, ceilings and trim in a washable finish, done between move-out and move-in on a written date.
