SERVING YOU IS OUR MISSION

At Prime Coat Painting, we believe a fresh coat of paint can do more than transform a space—it can bring new life to your home or business. Founded by Coast Guard rescue swimmer Joe Wood, our Mobile-based company is built on the values of hard work, integrity, and attention to detail.

We proudly serve Mobile, AL, and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius, including Fairhope, Daphne, and Dauphin Island. Our services include residential and commercial painting (interiors and exteriors), deck and cabinet painting, cement and fence painting, and professional power washing.

Whether you're updating your home or refreshing your business, we’re here to deliver dependable, high-quality results—one brushstroke at a time.

  • Joe Wood is the owner and founder of Prime Coat Painting. As a rescue swimmer in the U.S. Coast Guard, Joe has spent years committed to service and excellence—values he now brings to every home and project he works on.

    Joe has always found purpose in hard work and hands-on service. From his lawn care business as a teenager , he evolved into exterior painting. It was a natural step for someone who takes pride in completing a job well and helping others enhance their spaces.

    Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint or a full transformation, Joe is dedicated to delivering quality craftsmanship and dependable service.

    When he’s not on the job, you’ll find Joe enjoying time with his girlfriend, Hannah, or staying active at the gym. His commitment to discipline and service doesn’t stop at work—it’s part of who he is.

  • With 34 years of military service — including 15 years active duty in the U.S. Army and 19 years in the National Guard — his dedication, discipline, and leadership are second to none.

    Since 1995, Neil has also brought that same commitment to excellence into the world of painting and general contracting. With 30 years of hands-on experience, he’s a master of his craft and a valued asset to every project he touches.

    Outside of work, he’s a devoted family man who enjoys life with his wife and 4-year-old daughter. A man of strong faith, he is an active member of his church and lives by the values he’s upheld his entire life: integrity, service, and hard work.

    We’re honored to have Neil on the Prime Coat Painting team.

Our Process

1. Consultation & Estimate
We begin with a detailed walkthrough of your property to understand your goals and assess the scope of work. You'll receive a clear, written estimate with no surprises.

2. Preparation
Proper prep is key to a lasting finish. We power wash surfaces, scrape away peeling paint, sand where needed, and replace siding as needed. We also mask windows, protect landscaping, and caulk gaps for a clean, sealed surface.

3. Priming
If needed, we apply high-quality primer to ensure strong adhesion and even color coverage—especially on bare wood or repaired areas.

4. Painting
Using premium, weather-resistant paints, our experienced team applies even coats with professional tools and techniques. We match your color choice perfectly and pay attention to every detail for a flawless result.

5. Final Inspection & Cleanup
Once painting is complete, we walk the job with you to ensure satisfaction. We remove all coverings, clean the site thoroughly, and leave your exterior spotless and beautiful.
