Biltmore Forest's Painter for Every Project

If you're looking for a painter in Biltmore Forest, NC, Flynn's Painting Company does exactly that work, residential and commercial painting, deck staining, drywall, carpentry, and masonry work throughout Biltmore Forest and the surrounding area. My name is Cody Flynn, I've been in this trade for over a decade, and I bring that experience to every job. When you call (828) 490-3623, you're talking to me directly. Not a scheduler, not a crew foreman you'll never meet. I show up, I do the work, and I stand behind it.

Biltmore Forest is a specific place to paint. Many homes here were built between the 1920s and 1950s, which means lead-safe work practices are required on any job disturbing painted surfaces on pre-1978 construction, and we follow those practices without being asked. The town also has ordinances guiding exterior colors: nothing day-glow or fluorescent, and finishes should blend with the natural surroundings. A repaint of siding and trim generally doesn't require a zoning permit, but any project that changes the exterior beyond color runs through Buncombe County Building Inspections after you get zoning sign-off from the Town. The Asheville area's humidity, persistent rain, and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on exterior finishes, so product selection and surface prep matter more here than in a drier climate. I've been working in this climate my whole career. That context is built in.

    Exterior Painting

    Biltmore Forest's canopy coverage and shade patterns affect how paint cures on each elevation of a house. We account for that when scheduling coats and selecting products rated for WNC humidity.

    Brenda Warren hired Cody to stain her decks and came back for interior rooms and two bedrooms after that. Deck staining is one of the first things that shows wear in a mountain climate, we get it done right the first time.

    Drywall Repair

    Paint over a bad patch and you'll see it by morning light. We repair drywall before we ever open a paint can, so the finish holds.

  • Masonry Work in Asheville

Local Knowledge

Why WNC's Climate Changes How We Paint

Western North Carolina gets a lot of rain. Biltmore Forest in particular sits under a dense tree canopy that slows drying times and keeps surfaces damp longer than open terrain would. That affects when we schedule exterior work, how long we wait between coats, and which primers and topcoats we specify. A product that performs well in a dry climate can blister here within a season if the prep wasn't done to account for moisture. I've been painting in this climate throughout my career, I'm not guessing at what works. The freeze-thaw cycles in late fall and early spring are also punishing on exterior finishes that weren't applied with the right flexibility ratings. We don't cut those corners. If a weather window isn't right for the work, I'll tell you rather than push through and hand you a job that fails in six months.

I first hired Cody Flynn ,owner of Flynn's Painting, to stain my decks. He did such a perfect job and explained the process all the way through. I then decided to hire him to pain my living room, dining room and den. I had a color in mind and he found the color I wanted. He did such a good job and matched the trim color with perfection! This past week, I hired him to paint two of my bedrooms and the largest bathroom! He is so neat and never leaves your home in a mess! I think there are a few artists when it comes to painting a home and he is one of them If you need to have inside or outside painted, I highly recommend Flynn's painting!

Biltmore Forest Painting: Common Questions

Do Biltmore Forest's exterior color rules affect what I can choose?
Yes. The town has ordinances requiring exterior colors to blend with existing structures and the natural environment. Bright, fluorescent, or day-glow colors are prohibited. In practice, most traditional palettes, whites, creams, muted greens, grays, and earth tones, are well within what's allowed. Before we finalize a color, it's worth confirming your selection with the Town if you're uncertain. We can walk through that conversation with you during the estimate.
How often should I repaint my home's exterior in Biltmore Forest's climate?
The humidity, rainfall, and freeze-thaw cycles in this part of WNC are harder on exterior finishes than a drier climate would be. A quality exterior paint job on a well-prepped surface should hold six to ten years, depending on sun exposure, tree coverage, and the substrate. Homes under heavy shade tend to hold moisture longer and may show mildew or peeling sooner. We factor all of that into product selection when we estimate your job.
My home was built in the 1930s. Does that change anything about how you prep it?
It does. Any home built before 1978 may have lead-based paint, and federal law requires contractors to follow lead-safe work practices when disturbing those surfaces. We follow those practices on every pre-1978 job without needing to be asked. Older homes also tend to have wood siding and trim that needs more aggressive prep, cleaning, scraping, and priming properly, before a topcoat goes on. That prep time is built into the estimate, not added after the fact.
Do I need a permit to paint the exterior of my Biltmore Forest home?
A straightforward repaint of existing siding and trim generally does not require a zoning permit in Biltmore Forest, as long as the project doesn't change the exterior beyond color. If your project involves structural changes, new materials, or anything that alters the building's exterior beyond paint or stain, a zoning compliance certificate from the Town and a building permit from Buncombe County Building Inspections would typically be required. When in doubt, contact the Town directly. It's a quick call.
What's the difference between repainting and re-staining a deck in Biltmore Forest?
Paint sits on top of the wood surface and can peel when the wood moves with moisture and temperature changes, which happens often in WNC. Stain penetrates the wood, gives you a more natural look, and tends to age more gracefully in a humid mountain climate. For most Biltmore Forest decks, especially those built from pressure-treated lumber, stain is usually the better long-term choice. We'll give you a straight opinion on which makes more sense for your specific deck during the walkthrough. Every job is different, contact Flynn's Painting for an accurate estimate.
How long does a typical interior painting project take in Biltmore Forest?
A single room takes a day. A full interior, multiple rooms, ceilings, and trim, typically runs two to four days depending on square footage, the number of colors, and how much prep work the surfaces need. Older Biltmore Forest homes sometimes have plaster walls or previous paint layers that need more attention before we start. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate, and we don't stretch jobs out. You can also reach us nearby if you're in Hendersonville or Swannanoa.
