Power Washing and Surface Preparation

Every exterior project begins with thorough power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and failing paint. Proper preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting finish.

How We Work

Our exterior painting process ensures your project runs smoothly and delivers lasting results:

1. Free Exterior Assessment

We visit your property to evaluate surface conditions, identify any repairs needed, and provide a detailed estimate. No pressure, just honest recommendations.

2. Power Washing and Surface Prep

We power wash all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. This critical step ensures proper adhesion and longevity.

3. Repair and Prime

Wood rot gets replaced, cracks are filled, and peeling areas are scraped smooth. All bare wood and repairs receive primer before finish coats.

4. Premium Paint Application

We apply high-quality paints using proper techniques for each surface type. Most exteriors receive two finish coats for complete coverage and durability.

5. Final Inspection and Cleanup

Before we call a project complete, we walk through with you to ensure every detail meets our standards. We leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Exterior Painting for Bay Area Climates

Bay Area homes face unique environmental challenges that demand specific painting approaches:

Fog and Moisture Considerations

Berkeley Hills homes regularly encounter fog and morning moisture. We select paints formulated for high-humidity environments and ensure proper drying times between coats.

UV Protection for Sun-Exposed Areas

South and west-facing walls take a beating from California sun. Premium paints with UV-resistant properties prevent premature fading and chalking.

Product Selection for Coastal Conditions

Homes near the coast require paints that resist salt air and humidity. We use Sherwin-Williams products proven to perform in Bay Area conditions. Our preferred product, SuperPaint, offers excellent moisture resistance and color retention.

Best Seasons for Exterior Painting

Late spring through early fall provides the most consistent conditions in the Bay Area. We avoid painting during heavy fog periods or when rain is forecasted within 48 hours.

Why Proper Prep Matters More Here

Bay Area moisture and temperature swings make surface preparation even more critical than in drier climates. Skipping steps leads to early paint failure, which is why we never cut corners on prep work.

What Sets Us Apart

5-Year Warranty

We stand behind our exterior work with a comprehensive 5-year warranty. If anything peels, fades, or bubbles during that time, we repair it at no cost to you. This bumper-to-bumper coverage reflects our confidence in proper preparation and premium products.

Proper Surface Preparation

Many painters rush through prep to save time. We know that preparation determines how long your paint job lasts. Power washing, scraping, priming, and repairs happen before the first finish coat touches your walls.

Premium Products

We prefer Sherwin-Williams paints for Bay Area exteriors. Quality paint costs more upfront but delivers better coverage, longer life, and superior color retention. We won't recommend budget products that fail early.

Hands-On Owner Oversight

Alan Joyce works on your property daily, ensuring quality craftsmanship at every stage. You're not hiring a company that sends a crew and disappears. You're hiring a 37-year industry veteran who takes personal responsibility for your project.
