Painters in Middleburg, VA

Home Styles We Paint in Middleburg

Middleburg is the heart of Virginia’s horse and hunt country — a village where 18th-century stone farmhouses, Federal-era manor houses, and carefully preserved commercial buildings line Washington Street. Properties in and around Middleburg are unlike anything else in Loudoun County: multi-hundred-acre estates with main houses, guest cottages, horse barns, equipment buildings, and miles of board fencing that all require painting and maintenance. The construction materials — native fieldstone, handmade brick, lime plaster, and hand-hewn timber — demand a painter who understands historic building science.

Northern Star approaches every Middleburg project as preservation work. We use breathable lime-based and mineral paints on old stone and brick, hand-scrape and consolidate original wood rather than replacing it, and select colors from historically documented palettes. For Middleburg’s equestrian outbuildings, we use durable agricultural-grade coatings on barns and breathable stains on board fencing. We understand that a Middleburg estate’s appearance reflects its owner’s commitment to the land and its history — and our paint work must meet that standard.
