Painting Crew Atlanta paints homes throughout the City of Decatur, a short drive from our Glenwood Avenue office. Much of Decatur was built out in the 1920s with Craftsman bungalows, and the city has five local historic districts where material changes go through the Historic Preservation Commission, so prep, porch and window work are as important here as the paint.
Painting in Decatur
A city of bungalows, with its own preservation review
Decatur, founded in 1823, was largely built out during the 1920s with Craftsman bungalows. The city has five local historic districts, MAK, Clairemont Avenue, Ponce de Leon Court, Parkwood and Old Decatur, where the Historic Preservation Commission issues Certificates of Appropriateness for material changes.
Bungalows bring the same list of jobs: deep eaves and exposed rafter tails that need brushing, tapered porch columns that rot at the base, porch floors that take a floor enamel, and original wood windows with glazing that cracks. On houses built before 1978, scraping that old paint is set up as lead-safe work.
If you live in one of the local districts, check with the city before changing colors or materials. Repainting in kind is often simpler than a full change, and we can help you prepare samples and color names if review is needed.
