Life on the coast has its perks: ocean breezes, beautiful views, and a laid-back lifestyle. But if you own a home in the Golden Isles, you also know the not-so-glamorous side of coastal living: salt air, relentless sun, storms, and humidity that quietly wear down your home’s exterior.
And most of the time?
You don’t even see it happening.
That’s why every Golden Isles home, even a brand new one, needs a regular professional exterior inspection. Not a sales pitch. Not a “we’ll eyeball it” glance. We’re talking about a detailed, 68-point inspection that gives you the full picture of your home’s current condition, before problems get expensive.
Our free 68-point exterior inspection covers paint, trim, caulking, early wood rot and wear around windows, doors and soffits, with a written report and photos. Exterior house painters serving Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll Island since 1986.

Your home’s exterior is under constant attack:
- Salt in the air eats away at trim, siding, and paint
- UV rays fade and crack surfaces faster than inland homes
- Humidity and rain seep into cracks and unsealed joints
- Storms bring wind, water, and debris that can cause lasting damage
You might not notice it after a single season. But year after year, it adds up. And that’s when rot, leaks, mold, and deterioration sneak in.
What a Proper Inspection Covers
At D&D Decorators, our 68-point inspection looks beyond the surface. We check:
- Exterior paint and trim condition
- Caulking and sealant integrity
- Signs of moisture intrusion or early rot
- UV damage and chalking
- Potential pest access points
- Fading, flaking, and separation on surfaces
- High-risk wear zones around windows, doors, soffits, and siding
And we don’t just point things out. We deliver a detailed report with photo documentation so you can make smart, informed decisions about maintenance or upgrades.
Here is what that inspection looks like on a real home.

- Spot wear that you’d never see from the ground
- Extend the life of your paint, siding, and materials
- Get expert insights without pressure to buy anything
Peeling, chalking, failed caulk and bare wood are the signs a paint job is done. See how long exterior paint lasts and when to repaint.
