Exterior Surfaces: Stucco, Siding, Block and Wood
The outside of a house is several jobs sharing one schedule, and each surface has its own page because each takes a different prep sequence.
Exterior house painting
The whole-house sequence: wash, repair, caulk, prime and finish, worked elevation by elevation, including fascia, eaves, trim and doors.
Stucco and elastomeric coating
Stucco is a cement-and-aggregate shell, so cracks, patches, chalk and efflorescence come first, then the choice between breathable masonry paint and a thicker elastomeric film.
Block walls and masonry
Concrete masonry units are porous, so free-standing garden and perimeter walls take a block filler or masonry primer and a cleaning plan for sprinkler stains.
Wood siding, shingles and stain work
Lap and board siding, cedar shingles and shakes, and fences, decks and patio covers each have a page, because some are painted and some are stained.
Inside the House: Rooms, Cabinets, Ceilings and Trim
Interior work is organized around what you live with day to day. The interior painting page covers walls and ceilings in occupied rooms, with sheen chosen room by room and small drywall flaws fixed as part of the prep.
Cabinet refinishing has its own page because it is closer to furniture finishing than wall painting: doors come off, the old finish is tested for adhesion and the boxes are coated in place. Popcorn ceiling removal is separate again, because older acoustic texture is tested before it is disturbed. Trim, doors and baseboards are a small job with their own page, since a hard enamel finish and clean lines are what decide whether they look right.
Moving into a new house or selling one has its own page too, because the schedule there is set by an escrow date or a listing photo, not by the rooms.
Historic, Estate and Decorative Finishes
Some houses need more than the right color. Older Victorian, Craftsman and Mission Revival homes need lead-safe prep, wood repair and a palette that suits the period, and they have their own page. Large homes and estates are scoped as a property, house, guest house, outbuildings and walls together, with protection for stone, pools and landscaping before any spraying.
Limewash, Roman clay and Venetian plaster sit on a separate page. Venetian plaster is built from slaked lime and marble dust in thin troweled layers and polished, and limewash is a lime paint that soaks into a mineral surface, so both suit some walls and not others. Each is decided on a sample board first.

Tenant improvements on a contractor's schedule, clinical suites painted after hours with low-odor products, and storefronts or dining rooms done around opening times.
New construction for builders
Paint packages priced per plan for new homes, infill lots and ADUs, with a punch-list return before closing.
Choosing Between Services That Sound Alike
Several services overlap in name, and picking the right one first saves a second visit.
Wood siding or historic home painting
Wood siding painting is a carpentry-plus-paint job on lap, board or hardboard siding of any age. Historic home painting is for older houses where lead-safe prep, original trim and a period palette are the real questions.
Interior painting or unit turnover painting
Interior painting is for an owner living in the home. Unit turnover painting is a repeatable standard for an empty apartment between tenants, priced per floor plan for a manager.
Commercial painting or a specific building page
The commercial page explains how any bid is built, from takeoff to punch list. The warehouse, office, medical, retail and builder pages each cover what is different about that kind of building.
Deck and fence staining or block wall painting
Wood fences, decks and patio covers are cleaned and stained. Concrete block and slump stone walls are cleaned of sprinkler stains, filled and painted, and they sit on a page of their own.
How Estimates Differ by Service
A homeowner's estimate is priced by surface and coat: square footage of walls and ceilings, height, repairs, the number of colors and sheens, and the product grade. A commercial or association bid is priced from a takeoff by building, elevation, unit or square foot, then broken into phases a manager can approve or defer.
For a rough sense of scale, an exterior repaint of a single-family home is typically estimated at roughly $4,000 to $18,000, a whole-interior repaint at roughly $1,000 to $12,000 depending on rooms and ceilings, and a kitchen of cabinets at about $3,000 to $12,000. Association and apartment repaints are generally estimated per community, roughly $75,000 to $600,000 depending on the number of buildings and the scope.
All of these are estimates, and they are subject to change once the property has been walked and the products chosen; the written quote sets the final price for your job.
Colors and Finishes
The process
How a Painting Job Runs
Four steps, and nothing is painted until you have approved the scope and the colors.
The walk
We walk the house or property with you, look at the stucco, the trim and the old coating, and note what the afternoon sun, the dry wind and the sprinklers have done to each side.
The written scope
You get the prep, the products, the colors and the dates in writing. For an association or a building, the scope is phased so residents and tenants know which day is theirs.
Prep, then paint
Washing, scraping, patching and caulking come first, because that is what the paint holds on to. Then primer where it is needed and the finish coats.
The final walk
We walk it again with you before we call it done, and touch up anything you point at.
Questions
Questions About Our Services
Which page should I read if my job covers more than one service?
Start with the surface that needs the most work, often stucco or exterior painting, and mention the rest when you call or send the form. One estimate can cover the house, the block walls and the fence together, with each priced on its own line.
Is stucco painting different from exterior house painting?
Yes. The exterior page covers the whole-house sequence on any surface, while the stucco page is about the stucco skin itself: crack repair, texture matching, chalking and the elastomeric decision.
Do you stain wood as well as paint it?
Yes. Fences, decks, pergolas, patio covers and cedar shingles are often stained rather than painted, because stain lets the grain show. The choice between a transparent, semi-transparent or solid stain is made for each structure.
Can a homeowners association hire you directly?
Yes. Boards and management companies can send a reserve study or scope, and we return a bid broken out by building and phase, along with product data and color samples for the board's review.
Do you do small jobs like a single door or one room?
Yes. Trim, doors and single rooms are booked the same way as larger jobs, with a free estimate and a written scope, and they can often be grouped with other work to make one visit.
Are commercial buildings and homes handled by the same team?
The same company, the same written-scope method and the same walk-first approach. What changes is the schedule, the paperwork and the phasing, which follow the building's tenants, residents or operating hours.
Do you offer decorative finishes such as limewash?
Yes, limewash, Roman clay and Venetian plaster are available for suitable walls. Each one starts on a sample board, because the texture and movement of the finish are easier to judge in person than from a photo.
Can I book an estimate before I know which service I need?
Yes. Describe the job on the form or by phone, and the person who walks the property will sort it into the right scope. Many visits end with one estimate covering two or three of the services listed here.
Do you prepare product data for a contractor or architect?
Yes. On commercial and new construction work we send the product data sheets and color schedule for the specified coatings, so the general contractor or architect can review them before the work is scheduled.
Do the coatings you use meet local air quality rules?
They have to. The South Coast AQMD limits the volatile organic content of architectural coatings sold and used in this region under Rule 1113, so the products named in your scope are chosen from compliant lines, and the data sheets show it.
