Can a Carpenter Do Painting? Anderson Painting Has You Covered
Can a carpenter do painting? Many homeowners in Wilmington and the rest of North Carolina have asked this question when preparing to renovate a room. After all, hiring one company to tackle wood repairs and painting is less of a hassle than hiring multiple contractors. The simple answer to this question is “yes,” but the reality is that carpenters excel in structural and detailed woodwork. Professional painting requires a different skill set and tools. You might find overlap, but not always.
That’s where Anderson Painting steps in. Not only do we offer expert exterior and interior painting services for both residential and commercial spaces throughout North Carolina—our professionals also have the skills to offer carpentry services.
What Carpenters Typically Do
Carpenters focus on creating, installing, or repairing woodwork. This includes everything from framing and trim to molding. Carpenters can prep surfaces that need to be painted. They set nails, sand, fill seams, and caulk. But do carpenters paint? Most often, they don’t (at least not professionally)! Most won’t paint the prepped surface unless contracted to do so.
Why Professional Painting Matters
Once a surface has been prepped, it should be painted by a professional painting contractor. In addition to sealing cracks and holes in walls, professional painters thoroughly clean them before priming them for paint.
When the primer has set, the painter will apply two or more coats of paint. Painters also cut in edges, trim, and corners. They clean up after the project is completed as well.
What Anderson Painting Offers
Anderson Painting combines our services to make transforming a space easier. We offer exterior carpentry services for trim, decks, porches, and more. We can install or repair siding to protect your home or business from the elements and regulate the temperature inside. We also provide residential exterior painting and residential interior painting services for Raleigh and Wilmington customers (as well as wider NC). Whether you need your rooms painted or the exterior structure refreshed, we will handle your project with expertise and professionalism.
Anderson Painting Bridges the Gap Between Carpentry and Painting
Carpenters are invaluable for structural wood support and finishes. Full painting services, however, require contractors who specialize in coatings and aesthetics. At Anderson Painting, we offer both services. We provide carpentry repairs and prep work, as well as paint finishes that last.
