Why paint fails here
Prep decides how long paint lasts
The usual shortcut is to skip the prep, coat it, and let the next owner find out. Salt air on the coast and hard inland sun break paint down early when the surface was not scraped, sanded, caulked and primed properly.
Michael spent five years in general contracting before five more painting. Two crews, both ours, never subcontracted out.
How a job runs
No surprises is not a slogan. It is the sequence.
Walk it
Peeling paint, failing caulk and problem areas get found now, not halfway through.
Quote it
Written and itemized, everything included. The final bill matches the quote.
Prep it
Scrape, sand, caulk every seam, spot prime, mask what stays.
Finish it
Sherwin-Williams or Dunn-Edwards. Stucco gets sprayed then backrolled by hand so it bonds, never spray and go. Then a walkthrough with you.

Common questions
How much does it cost to paint a house in Orange County?
It depends on size, surface condition and how much prep the old paint needs, which is why we will not quote over the phone. We come out, look at the real surfaces, and hand you a written itemized price. The estimate is free and the number does not move later.
Do you paint stucco?
Yes. Stucco is sprayed then backrolled by hand so the coating is worked into the texture and bonds, rather than sitting on top of it. We are not spray and go painters.
What paint do you use?
Sherwin-Williams and Dunn-Edwards. We do not pad the margin with contractor grade product, because the difference shows up around year three in fade, sheen and washability.
How long does an exterior take?
Most single family exteriors run three to five working days, longer with extensive prep. You get the schedule in writing with the quote.
Do you help with HOA color approval?
Constantly, across the master planned communities of South Orange County. We work from your approved palette and provide what the committee needs.
Serving most of Southern California
