Yes, measurably. Airborne salt shortens coating life, accelerates chalking and attacks fixings and flashing. Practically it means better preparation, attention to rust at the fixings before coating, and products chosen for coastal exposure. Repainting on an inland schedule with inland products is why some houses here look tired early.

Because the fixings underneath were painted over rather than addressed. Salt air corrodes nails, screws and flashing, and rust travels straight through a fresh coat within months. Those points need treating or replacing before any finish goes on — it is not a paint-quality issue.

May through September. Coatings need surface temperatures above roughly 50°F including overnight and dry surfaces. Being further south and near the water, Harrison's season runs slightly longer at both ends than northern Westchester — though we would rather wait for conditions than push a coating into weather it cannot handle.
