Painting for Damascus Homes

Damascus is a small town in upper Montgomery County. It sits on Parr’s Ridge, about 847 feet above sea level, where Ridge Road (MD 27), Damascus Road (MD 108) and Woodfield Road (MD 124) meet. Farms and open land in the county’s Agricultural Reserve surround the town. The 2020 Census counted 17,224 people and 5,866 housing units.

Most homes here are not brand new. Census Bureau survey data puts the median year built at 1984. About 7 in 10 homes were built between 1970 and 1999, and more than a third went up in the 1980s alone. About three in four are single-family detached houses, and nearly 9 in 10 occupied homes are lived in by their owners.

That shapes the work. A house from the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s often has years of touch-ups, old patches and dried-out caulk. Wood trim, doors and shutters usually wear first, on the sides that get the most sun and rain. Before we paint, we scrape loose paint, fill cracks and holes, sand and caulk. Common jobs here are a full exterior repaint, fresh trim and doors, updated kitchen cabinets, or a new color plan inside.

Some Damascus neighborhoods have an HOA. We can color-match any color, including colors your HOA requires. Please get any HOA approval you need before exterior work starts. The homeowner handles the HOA; we do not contact the HOA.

Interior Painting

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and stairways, with washable finishes for kitchens, halls and kids' rooms in Damascus homes.

Exterior Painting

Siding, trim, doors, shutters and porches. We wash, scrape, sand, caulk and prime before we paint.

Weather and Timing in Damascus

Damascus sits higher than much of the county, and the weather shows it. NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals for the Damascus weather station show about 48 inches of precipitation and about 31 inches of snow in a normal year. July highs average about 84°F, and January lows about 25°F. Rain falls in every month, and summer often brings thunderstorms.

For exterior work, we watch the forecast and pick dry stretches. We stay inside the temperature range on the paint label. Snow and cold make winter a poor time for outside painting, so it is a good time for indoor projects.
