Exterior paint in Bridgeport
Bridgeport has five local historic districts: East Bridgeport and Pembroke City, Stratfield, Marina Park, Barnum-Palliser, and Black Rock Harbor. Inside them, the city's Historic District Commission requires approval for any work seen from the street, and a Certificate of Appropriateness has to come before the work. The Commission names siding, windows, roofing and porches as examples. So if a paint job grows into replacing rotted clapboards or porch parts, check with the Commission first.
Rot and failed paint are common starting points on older Bridgeport houses, and the climate on the Sound is part of why. Winters are on the mild side, with January's normal high near 38°F at the local weather station. Late summer is damp: September mornings there average about 80 percent humidity, and dew sits on siding until the sun clears it.
Near the water, salt and wind are hard on paint. The side of your house that faces the Sound usually shows wear first, so look there when you decide whether you need a full repaint or one side touched up.
