Why homeowners choose our exterior painting
Exterior paint is your home's first defense against sun, rain, and wind. When it fails early, it is almost always because of rushed preparation. We wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime before any finish coat, so the new paint bonds and lasts.
Conditions change a lot across our service area. Upvalley homes in St. Helena face intense summer heat, while homes near the water in Vallejo deal with fog and salt air. Lorenzo recommends products and colors for the conditions where you live.
Signs your home needs exterior painting
Exterior paint protects your siding long before it looks bad. Watch for these signs:
Peeling or blistering paint.
Once paint lifts, water gets behind it and damages the wood or stucco underneath.
Chalky residue.
If your hand comes away white after touching the siding, the paint has broken down in the sun.
Cracked caulk around windows and trim.
Open joints let moisture into the walls, which leads to rot.
Faded color on sunny sides.
South and west walls fade first, a sign the protective layer is wearing thin.
Bare or gray wood.
Exposed wood absorbs water and needs primer before it starts to decay.

How to prepare for your exterior painting project
A few simple steps make exterior work faster and safer:
Trim back plants and shrubs.
Give us about a foot of space around the walls so we can prep and paint every surface.
Move items away from the house.
Patio furniture, grills, planters, and decorations should be moved clear of the work area.
Park away from the driveway.
Washing and painting can reach the driveway, so parking on the street keeps cars clean.
Turn off sprinklers.
Sprinklers should stay off on painting days so fresh paint stays dry.
Share HOA requirements.
If your community has approved colors or paperwork, send it to us before we order paint.
Built for our local weather
Upvalley summers bring intense sun that fades and chalks paint. Homes closer to the bay deal with morning fog, wind, and moisture. Lorenzo recommends exterior paints and colors that handle the conditions where you live, and we schedule painting for dry, suitable weather. Washing is always the first step, so ask about adding pressure washing for your driveway and patio at the same visit.

Exterior painting across Napa Valley and the Bay Area
Exterior conditions change from town to town. In St. Helena and Yountville, strong upvalley sun fades paint and dries out wood, so we recommend fade-resistant products. In Vallejo, fog, wind, and salt air from the bay call for thorough sealing and coastal-grade finishes.
In Fairfield, many homes are stucco and need crack repair and masonry-rated paint. In Napa and Sonoma, older wood-sided homes and detailed trim reward patient scraping and priming. The prep changes, but the standard does not: every home gets our full process and a final walkthrough with Lorenzo.
An exterior repaint is one of the biggest investments you make in your home's appearance and protection. That is why every estimate lists exactly what will be washed, repaired, primed, and painted, and why Lorenzo walks every side of the house with you at the end. If something does not meet your expectations, we make it right before we call the job done.
What affects the cost of exterior painting
Every home is different, so we price after inspecting it. These factors shape your estimate:
Size and height of the home
Two-story walls and tall gables need more time, ladders, or staging.
Siding type and condition
Peeling paint, cracked stucco, and damaged wood need more preparation.
Trim and detail work
Shutters, railings, and decorative trim add hand work.
Access and products
Slopes, landscaping, and the paint line you choose affect the price.
Your written estimate lists every item, so the price we agree on is the price you pay.
