Serving Carrboro, NC

Carrboro, North Carolina House Painting Company

Roca's Painters is based in Mebane, which shares Orange County with Carrboro, about 22 miles away by I-40 and Old NC 86. We are family-owned and Latino-owned, and Jose Roca, who founded the company in 2016, still walks every house before he writes a quote.

We handle interior and exterior painting, the carpentry and drywall repairs that come before it, and commercial work. The town's single busiest building decade was the 1980s, and many of those houses are now at the point where trim, caulk and siding need real attention before the next coat goes on.

Estimates cover the Lloyd mill village around Maple Avenue and East Carr Street, Bolin Forest near downtown, Fox Meadow off Rogers Road, and later neighborhoods like Quarterpath Trace, Wexford and Cates Farm. Some Carrboro homes use a Chapel Hill mailing address, and we cover those homes too, with the same estimate visit.

Local Painting Expertise in Carrboro

More Carrboro homes were built in the 1980s than in any other decade, and the town's oldest streets are a 1910s mill village. That gives painters a specific set of problems.

The Lloyd Mill Village, 1910 to 1915

The Thomas F. Lloyd Historic District holds about 30 frame mill houses near Maple Avenue and East Carr Street. Look for triple-A rooflines, rear ells and hip-roofed front porches, and Maple Avenue still has eleven houses tied to Lloyd and his workers. On houses this old, siding and porch parts get checked piece by piece before anyone quotes paint, since what's underneath varies from house to house.

The 1980s Build Wave

About 28 percent of the town's homes went up in the 1980s, in neighborhoods like Bolin Forest and Fox Meadow. At 40-plus years, these houses often need failed caulk replaced, soft trim rebuilt and original windows sealed before paint. Interiors from that era often still carry popcorn ceilings and original cabinets.

Bigger Lots in Cates Farm and Its Neighbors

The 1990s and 2000s neighborhoods, including Quarterpath Trace, Wexford and Cates Farm, where lots run about half an acre, are coming due for another exterior repaint. Trees on bigger lots shade siding and drop debris into gutters, so washing and gutter checks belong in the plan.

A Town of Renters

Around 56 percent of homes here are rented. For owners and property managers, the fastest-moving jobs happen between tenants: walls patched, rooms repainted in one durable neutral, and the unit ready to list again quickly.

Why Carrboro Residents Call Roca's Painters

Request an Estimate

About Half an Hour Away

Our shop is about 31 minutes from Carrboro by I-40 and Old NC 86. Jose drives over for the estimate himself, usually the day after you call.

Prep Planned by House Age

A 1912 mill house and a 1986 two-story fail in different places. Jose checks the spots that fail on your kind of house first, and the quote lists those repairs before any paint goes on.

Warranty From a Family Business

If our workmanship doesn't hold up within a year, call the Mebane office. The family that painted your house sends a crew back out, with no franchise hotline in between.

Rentals and Owner Homes

More than half of Carrboro homes are rented, so we plan around move-out dates as well as owners' timelines. A vacant unit costs money every week.

Carrboro Painting FAQ

Carrboro quotes from Roca's are a fixed price based on the hours your job takes, set after Jose walks the house. House age changes that number more than size does. A 1980s house needing new caulk and some trim repair costs more to paint than a newer one of the same footprint. You get the quote the day of the visit, and the visit costs nothing. Get a quote that lists the repairs or call 336-512-0981.
