Painting Peachtree Corners homes
Peachtree Corners is older than most of the north metro and it changes what the work looks like. A lot of the housing went up in the 1970s and 1980s around the original Technology Park development, which means cedar siding, wood trim, real masonry, and mid-century ranch and split-level floor plans. These homes have been painted many times. The failures are in the older layers, the wood windows have usually had their glazing go, and the cedar bleeds tannin through anything but a proper blocking primer. It is more careful work than a 2005 subdivision, and it is worth doing properly because the houses themselves are well built.
The homes in Peachtree Corners
1970s and 1980s cedar and wood
Cedar siding, wood trim, and wood windows carrying four or five layers of paint. The bond has failed somewhere in the middle layers, so the prep is scraping to a sound edge and spot-priming with a tannin blocker. Coating over it buys two years.
Mid-century ranches and split-levels
Solid, well-built homes with masonry, wood siding, and often original single-pane windows. Painted brick is an increasingly common request here for the same reasons it is in Marietta, and it needs the same masonry-specific process.
Newer infill and townhomes
The Town Center development brought newer construction where the work is interior finish quality: sprayed trim, built-ins, and accent walls.
What the weather here does to paint
Peachtree Corners sits near the Chattahoochee with very mature canopy, which makes it one of the damper, shadier markets in Gwinnett. Wood windows and door trim from the 1970s and 1980s are the recurring failure point: the glazing and caulk have gone, water sits in the joint, and any new coat fails at exactly that spot unless the joint is rebuilt first.

Painting in Peachtree Corners, answered
My cedar siding keeps peeling no matter how many times I paint it. Why?
Two likely causes and often both. First, the failing lower layers were never removed, so the new paint is bonded to something that is already letting go. Second, cedar bleeds tannin, and a standard latex primer does not block it, so you also get brown staining coming through. The fix is scraping back to a sound edge and spot-priming bare wood with an oil-based or alkyd stain-blocking primer before any color goes on.
How much does it cost to paint a house in Peachtree Corners, GA?
A cedar or wood-sided home runs $5,500 to $16,000 on the exterior, and most of that is prep rather than paint. Painting brick runs $4,000 to $12,000. Interiors run $3,000 to $8,500. Peachtree Corners costs more than a comparable-size newer home because the housing is 40-plus years old and the surfaces need real restoration.
Can you fix the wood windows before painting?
Yes, and on a 1970s or 1980s Peachtree Corners home you generally have to. The glazing putty and caulk have failed, water sits in the joint, and a new coat applied over that fails in exactly the same place within a season or two. We rebuild the joint, re-glaze where needed, prime the repair, and then paint.
Can I paint the brick on my ranch?
Yes, and it transforms a mid-century ranch. It is also permanent, so decide carefully. Done properly it means a masonry cleaning, a bonding primer made for brick, and a breathable acrylic topcoat so moisture in the wall can still escape. Done with standard exterior latex over unprepared brick, it blisters within about two years and you cannot go back.
Why is mildew worse at my house than my friend's?
Canopy and proximity to the river. Peachtree Corners has very mature trees and sits near the Chattahoochee, so shaded elevations stay damp far longer. Mildew establishes, gets painted over, and bleeds back through. It has to be washed with a mildewcide and fully dried before coating, every time.
Are you insured?
Yes, general liability, certificate sent before we start. On pre-1978 homes, which includes a lot of Peachtree Corners housing, we also handle lead-safe containment properly rather than dry-scraping into the yard.
