Painting Atlanta Bungalows, Ranches and Suburban Homes
Atlanta is the biggest market we serve and the one that looks the most different from Marietta. Inside the perimeter, the character of the housing comes from the Intown neighborhoods: Craftsman bungalows and cottages from the 1910s to the 1940s in places like Inman Park, Grant Park, Kirkwood and Candler Park, with wood siding, tall windows, plaster walls and many generations of paint. These houses can be gorgeous, and they can also hide a lot under the surface.
Atlanta is also often called a city in a forest, and the tree canopy shows on the paint. Shade keeps siding damp, green algae and mildew grow on the north side of many houses, and falling debris collects on porches and decks. Further out, you find the mid-century ranches and 1990s builder homes common in the rest of the metro, and each needs a different plan.
Miguel Painting is based in Marietta, a drive away from Intown Atlanta, so we plan our Atlanta jobs with a scheduled estimate and a clear start date instead of a drop-in visit. If you are in Atlanta and want an experienced painter with around 25 years behind the roller, call and we will set up a time.

Older homes and lead paint
Houses built before 1978 can have lead-based paint under newer coats, which is why surface prep and dust control matter more on older Intown houses. Tell us the age of your home when you call so we can plan the work accordingly.
Historic district rules
Several Intown neighborhoods, including Inman Park and Grant Park, are designated historic districts where changes to a home's exterior may be reviewed. Check the rules before choosing exterior colors.
Plaster walls and old cracks
Plaster over lath moves with the seasons and shows hairline cracks that drywall repair techniques and flexible fillers handle differently from newer walls.
Tree canopy and moisture
Mature trees shade siding and keep it damp, so mildew and algae need to be washed and treated before painting, or they return through the new coat.
Travel and scheduling
Atlanta jobs are scheduled with a set estimate time and start date, which keeps the project on a clear timeline.
Painting in Atlanta: FAQs
Do you paint Craftsman bungalows in Intown Atlanta?
Yes. Older Intown homes call for careful scraping, priming and patching. Tell us the year the house was built when you call, because homes built before 1978 may have lead paint that changes how the prep is handled.
Do I need approval to change my exterior colors in Atlanta?
In some Intown historic districts, exterior changes can be reviewed by the city. Check with your neighborhood or the city before choosing colors so there are no surprises after the job.
