Painting near a two-century-old brick campus
Old East, whose cornerstone was laid in 1793, is a brick National Historic Landmark, while most of the homes that grew up around campus over the following decades are wood-frame construction — a real contrast in exterior surfaces within a few blocks of each other. That mix means paint crews working in Chapel Hill regularly move between masonry coatings and traditional wood siding on the same street.
Sun exposure on a hilly, tree-covered town
Chapel Hill's hillier terrain creates more variation in sun exposure from one side of a lot to another than a flat Piedmont site would, and combined with Durham County's humid summers, that uneven exposure can make one side of a house weather faster than the other. Matching the paint schedule to which elevation actually takes the most sun avoids uneven wear down the road.
