What Portsmouth houses have to deal with

Some of the oldest houses in Hampton Roads

Olde Towne's historic district has homes from the 1700s and 1800s, Port Norfolk and Park View are full of Victorian-era houses, and Cradock was built as a planned community for shipyard workers during World War I. Nearly all of it predates 1978, so lead-safe prep is part of the job, and the trim, porches and cornices take patient scraping and priming.

Historic district rules

Exterior changes in Portsmouth's historic districts can need approval from the city before work starts. Check with the city first if your house is in Olde Towne, Port Norfolk, Park View or Cradock.

Portsmouth painting questions

My house is in a Portsmouth historic district. Can you paint it?

Yes. Check with the city about any approval your district needs for exterior changes before the job is scheduled. Older trim and porches get careful scraping and priming.

My house was built before 1978. What should I know?

Homes from before 1978 may have lead-based paint under newer coats. Federal EPA rules govern how anyone paid to sand, scrape or cut into those surfaces must contain and clean up the work. Mention the age of the house when you call.

Do you charge to come out for an estimate?

No. Estimates are free - Osman looks at the job in person and gives you a price before anything is scheduled.
