Exterior Painting and Rotted Wood Repair Transform Baltimore City Row Home in Hampden Neighborhood

FR Contractors and Investors completed a detailed exterior painting project on a three-story row home in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood. The job took six working days and involved painting with four different colors on trim, brick, and porch floors. We used Mad Dog Dura Prime Professional Primer to prevent peeling and provide a strong base. After scraping, we discovered rotted wood and loose bricks that required repair. The rotted wood was replaced, and bricks were reset with mortar before applying primer and finish coats for a flawless result.

Background/Story:

The homeowner’s city inspector ordered the house to be painted due to significant peeling paint. After finding us online, the owner reached out and chose us for our trusted reputation and clear communication during a face-to-face meeting. Located in the well-known Hampden neighborhood, this home needed careful restoration to maintain its charm and integrity.

We made sure to address the peeling and damaged areas first, replacing rotted wood to stop further decay and securing loose bricks to keep the structure solid. The process involved one full coat of primer tinted to the final paint color, followed by a full coat of finish paint. Using Sherwin-Williams Latitude paints, we carefully applied green, brown, yellow, and matching yellow shades, while the porch floor received durable enamel paint.
