Exterior Painting in Los Angeles, CA

Exterior painting here means stucco, siding and trim, and in that order the stucco is almost always the biggest part of the job. Los Angeles sun fades and chalks a painted surface faster than most people expect, and by the time it is visibly faded the caulking around windows and doors has usually gone brittle too. We patch cracks, scrape and caulk before anything else, then prime bare or repaired spots so the new color goes on even. Skipping straight to color on a wall that needs that work first is the single most common way an exterior repaint looks bad within a year.

Trim gets its own pass — window frames, fascia boards, garage doors, gates — because trim takes the most direct sun and weather of anything on the house and shows wear first. Gutters, downspouts and any metal trim get their own attention too, since rust stains and peeling paint on metal show up faster than fading stucco and are usually the first thing a visitor notices walking up. We walk the whole exterior with you before we quote it, point out what actually needs patching versus what just needs paint, and give you a straight answer instead of quoting the biggest job possible.
