Exterior painting for San Francisco homes, prep, repair, prime, paint. Built to hold up to fog, salt, and wind in the Sunset, Richmond, and out toward the coast. The finish lasts longer because the prep is done right.
Almost every exterior paint job in San Francisco that fails early fails because of bad prep, old paint not scraped clean, dry rot not addressed, surfaces not properly primed. The paint goes on fine; it just doesn't stick to anything underneath.
We scrape, repair, dry-rot remediate, sand, prime, and only then paint. The actual painting is the easy part. Everything before it is the work that makes it last.
Power wash, scrape failing paint, sand transitions, and address any surface issues before primer.
Address any dry rot, damaged siding, or trim issues we find during prep. Painting over rot doesn't work.
Re-caulk transitions, window trim, and any gaps where water could intrude.
Proper primer applied to bare wood, repaired areas, and any surface where bonding is critical.
Two coats of quality exterior paint applied properly, not rushed, not thinned, not over-spread.
We walk the work with you, touch up anything that needs it, and clean up the site daily.
Prep is most of the work: scrape, sand, repair, prime. The paint is the last step. San Francisco homes get pounded by fog, salt, and wind, so cutting corners on prep means the finish fails fast. Exterior paint is often paired with siding repair or window work when scaffolding is already up.
