Services
Exterior Painting
Our exterior painting service protects and enhances properties through a meticulous 7-step process. Starting with pressure washing and scraping failing paint, we sand surfaces, apply primer, caulk cracks, and use high-grade acrylic paints from Sherwin Williams or Dunn Edwards. This ensures long-lasting protection against UV damage and moisture, with warranties covering up to 10 years for stucco surfaces. Our team prioritizes safety with proper masking and overspray prevention techniques.
Cabinet Painting
Specializing in cabinet refinishing, we use a 9-step process that includes degreasing, sanding, and applying shellac primer followed by durable urethane alkyd enamel. This method ensures chip-resistant finishes that last 5+ years, with semi-gloss sheen for easy cleaning. We complete standard kitchen projects in 2-3 days while maintaining functionality during the process, with full curing achieved in 72 hours.
Stucco Repair
Our stucco repair service addresses cracks, water damage, and surface imperfections through professional assessment and restoration. We use compatible materials to match existing textures while preventing future moisture intrusion. This service extends the lifespan of exterior surfaces and maintains property aesthetics, often combined with painting for comprehensive exterior maintenance.
Interior Painting
Offering complete interior painting solutions, we handle color consultation, surface preparation, and application of premium paints. Our process includes wall patching, texture matching, and careful masking of floors and fixtures. We recommend flat/eggshell finishes for walls and semi-gloss for trim, with most rooms completed in 5-12 hours depending on size and complexity.
Property Maintenance
This comprehensive service combines regular inspections with timely repairs and painting for commercial properties. We offer flexible scheduling including after-hours work to minimize business disruption. Our maintenance plans help property owners prevent costly repairs while maintaining professional appearances through scheduled touch-ups and surface protection.

Questions

Our exterior paint jobs last at least 10 years on stucco and 5-7 years on wood surfaces under normal San Diego climate conditions.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we hold California contractor license #1050874 and maintain $2M liability insurance plus workers' compensation coverage.
Do you offer payment plans?
We require 10% deposit with final payment due after client approval, but can discuss customized payment arrangements for large projects.
Can you paint over oil-based paint?
Yes, we properly prepare surfaces by sanding and priming with oil-based primer before applying latex paint for successful adhesion.
