This Annapolis Cape Cod had last been painted in 2010. More than a decade of Mid-Atlantic weather had taken its toll — chalky, faded body color, peeling window casing, and oxidized shutters. The homeowners wanted to restore the home's coastal character with a fresh blue-gray palette that would photograph beautifully and stand up to bay humidity.
We performed a complete power wash of all surfaces, followed by hand-scraping and spot-priming all areas with adhesion failure. All trim, window casings, and shutters were removed where possible to ensure full back-coverage. We applied two full coats of a premium exterior acrylic across 2,800 square feet of painted surface, using a contrasting deep navy on shutters and doors.
The finished home looks like it belongs in an Annapolis real estate magazine — and the homeowners agreed. Their Zillow estimate increased by $18,000 in the month following completion, according to the owners.
"From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, Primus was completely professional. They kept us updated every single day and the result is absolutely stunning. Our neighbors keep complimenting us."
