Your Property Protected and Looking Sharp

You’re not just getting a paint job. You’re getting protection that actually works against the coastal elements that beat up properties around here.

When we finish your exterior painting project, you’ll have a finish that stands up to morning fog, afternoon sun, and everything in between. The kind of paint job that still looks good five years later instead of peeling and fading after two.

Your neighbors will notice. More importantly, you’ll stop worrying about your biggest investment deteriorating because someone cut corners on prep work or used paint that wasn’t designed for our climate.

Exterior Painting Company Loma Mar

We Know What Works Here

We’ve been handling exterior painting projects throughout San Mateo County for years. We’ve learned what works in this climate and what doesn’t.

Too many contractors treat every job the same way. They use the same prep process in Loma Mar that they’d use in Phoenix. That’s why you see paint failing after two years instead of lasting a decade.

We’ve built our reputation on understanding exactly what your property needs to look good and stay protected in this specific environment.

Exterior Paint Prep Services Process

How We Handle Your Painting Project

First, we assess your property’s current condition and identify any prep work needed. This isn’t a quick walk-around – we’re looking for moisture damage, surface issues, and areas that need special attention.

Next comes the prep work that makes or breaks the whole job. Power washing, scraping loose paint, filling gaps, priming bare surfaces. This is where most contractors cut corners and where we spend the most time.

Then we apply premium exterior paint designed for coastal conditions. Multiple coats, proper drying time between coats, and careful attention to detail around trim and challenging areas. When we’re done, we walk the property with you to make sure everything meets your standards.

Residential Exterior Painting Loma Mar

What's Included in Every Project

Every exterior painting project starts with thorough surface preparation. We power wash, scrape failing paint, sand rough areas, and prime any bare surfaces. This foundation work is what separates paint jobs that last from ones that fail.

You get premium exterior paint specifically chosen for coastal California conditions. We’re talking about paint systems that resist moisture penetration, UV damage, and the temperature swings that cause cheaper paints to crack and peel.

We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and handle all the details that matter. Your property stays neat throughout the project, and you get a finished result that adds real value to your investment.

How long does exterior paint last in Loma Mar's coastal climate?

With proper surface preparation and quality paint, you should expect 7-10 years before needing a full repaint in Loma Mar’s coastal conditions. The key factors are thorough prep work, using paint designed for moisture and UV exposure, and applying it during optimal weather conditions. Cheaper paint jobs might look good initially but often start showing problems within 2-3 years due to inadequate prep or inferior materials. The moisture from coastal fog and temperature fluctuations require paint systems specifically formulated for these challenges.

What's the best time of year for exterior painting in this area?

Late spring through early fall typically offers the most consistent weather for exterior painting in Loma Mar. We avoid the wettest winter months and prefer temperatures between 50-85 degrees with low humidity for optimal paint curing. However, coastal fog can create challenges even during ideal seasons, so we monitor weather conditions closely and adjust our schedule accordingly. Sometimes we’ll start later in the day to let morning fog burn off, or pause work if conditions aren’t right for proper paint adhesion and curing.

How do you protect landscaping and outdoor features during painting?

We cover all plants, outdoor furniture, and hardscaping with plastic sheeting and drop cloths before starting any prep work. This includes your deck, walkways, and any decorative elements near the house. We’re especially careful around established landscaping since many Loma Mar properties have mature plants and custom outdoor spaces that would be expensive to replace. Our crew removes or secures any loose items and ensures paint overspray doesn’t reach areas beyond the work zone. Clean-up happens daily, not just at project completion.

Do you handle both residential and commercial exterior painting projects?

Yes, we work on both residential exterior painting and commercial exterior painting projects throughout the Loma Mar area. Residential work ranges from single-family homes to larger custom properties, while our commercial projects include office buildings, retail spaces, and other business facilities. Each type of project has different requirements – commercial work often needs to accommodate business hours and may require specific paint specifications for durability and appearance. We adjust our approach, scheduling, and materials based on whether it’s a home or business property.

What kind of surface preparation is needed for siding painting services?

Surface preparation varies depending on your siding material and current condition, but typically includes power washing, scraping loose or peeling paint, sanding rough areas, and filling any gaps or holes. For wood siding, we often need to address moisture damage or replace boards before painting. Fiber cement and stucco require different prep approaches. We always prime bare surfaces and spot-prime areas where we’ve scraped down to the substrate. This prep work usually takes 40-60% of the total project time, but it’s what determines whether your paint job lasts two years or ten years.

How do you handle exterior trim painting and detail work?

Exterior trim painting requires extra attention since trim takes the most weather abuse and is highly visible. We hand-sand trim pieces, fill nail holes and gaps with exterior-grade filler, and often apply additional primer coats. Detail work around windows, doors, and decorative elements gets brush and roller application rather than just spray work for better coverage and finish quality. We use high-quality exterior trim paint that resists cracking and provides clean lines. This attention to trim work makes the difference between a paint job that looks professional and one that looks rushed.
