Blending the Old with the New: A Fresh Take on Historic Home Restoration

From the grand antebellum mansions of Savannah to the charming Victorians of Atlanta, Georgia’s historic homes stand as living testaments to a rich architectural heritage. However, time, weather, and neglect can take their toll, leaving homeowners with the challenge of restoration.

Earthly Matters understands that maintaining the authenticity of a historic home while ensuring long-term durability requires expert knowledge, high-quality materials, and a meticulous approach.

Why Choosing the Right Paint Matters

Historic homes were built with materials that differ significantly from modern construction. The wrong type of paint can cause trapped moisture, peeling, and accelerated deterioration. That’s why Earthly Matters prioritizes paints that offer:

✅ Historical Color Accuracy: We help homeowners choose timeless colors that align with their home’s era.

✅ Breathability & Adhesion: Our premium paints allow wood and masonry to breathe, preventing moisture buildup.

✅ Long-Lasting Protection: Engineered for Georgia’s climate, our paints withstand humidity, heat, and heavy rains.

✅ Eco-Friendly Formulations: We offer low-VOC, environmentally safe options that comply with preservation guidelines.

The Power of Modern Exterior Paints

While traditional oil-based paints were once the gold standard for historic homes, modern acrylic and elastomeric coatings now offer superior durability and flexibility. Earthly Matters uses advanced formulations that:

• Expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing cracks and peeling.

• Offer fade resistance, keeping colors vibrant for years.

• Provide superior adhesion, even on aged wood and brick surfaces.
