Exterior Painting project

Exterior Painting

Prep is 80% of the job

Valley sun destroys cheap paint jobs in three years. We wash, scrape, caulk, and prime bare substrate before a drop of finish coat goes on — because the prep is what makes it last, not the label on the can.

Exterior Painting FAQs

How long will an exterior paint job last?+

With full prep and two coats of premium acrylic, 8–12 years on stucco and 6–10 on wood siding in Valley sun.

What time of year is best?+

Spring and fall. We avoid painting when surface temps exceed manufacturer limits, which rules out mid-afternoon in July.

Do you repair stucco cracks?+

Yes — hairline cracks get filled and textured, larger cracks are cut, patched, and matched before painting.

Can you help pick colors?+

We'll put sample boards on your actual wall so you see them in your own light.
