Exterior Residential Painters

Full-Service Exterior House Painting

Exterior painting is more than applying a few coats and calling it done. It’s pressure washing to remove dirt and mildew. It’s scraping failing paint and repairing wood rot. It’s priming bare surfaces and caulking gaps where water infiltrates.

It’s using Regal products, coatings proven to perform in the San Francisco Bay‘s challenging conditions. Our 10 full-time crews bring 100 years of combined experience, and we’ve learned that proper prep determines how long your paint lasts.

We protect your landscaping, communicate daily, clean up completely, and perform a final walk-through before collecting payment. The result? A finish that looks stunning today and stays protected for 7-10 years.

Your front door is the first thing guests see and the first thing that shows wear. We sand, prime, and apply durable coatings designed for high-traffic entryways, delivering a flawless finish that resists scuffs, fading, and weather damage.
Trim, shutters, and soffits are often overlooked, but they’re critical to your home’s overall appearance and protection. We meticulously prep and paint these details with precision coatings that highlight your home’s architecture while defending against moisture and UV damage.

Faded, peeling gutters and downspouts detract from even the best paint job. We clean, prime, and coat these often-neglected features with durable finishes that complement your home’s color scheme and resist rust and corrosion.

Handrails take constant contact and weather exposure. We prep and coat with high-durability paints designed for high-touch surfaces, delivering a smooth, long-lasting finish that stands up to daily use and the elements.

Brick and stucco require specialized primers and breathable paints to prevent moisture problems. We use products engineered for masonry surfaces, ensuring proper adhesion, durability, and a finish that won’t trap moisture behind the paint film.

These spaces face exposure such as sun, rain, and foot traffic. We clean, repair, and apply premium stains or solid-color coatings designed for horizontal and vertical surfaces, restoring beauty and adding years of protection to your outdoor living spaces.

Clean surfaces are the foundation of every long-lasting paint job. We pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, chalking paint, and contaminants that prevent adhesion. We use the right pressure settings to clean effectively without damaging your siding, stucco, or trim.

Best Exterior House Painters

What separates the best exterior painters from the rest? Consistency. Weโ€™ve completed over 4,000 projects since 2004 by doing what most contractors wonโ€™t: showing up when promised, communicating clearly, and standing behind our work long after the paint dries.

Every project is backed by our 5-year warranty with yearly check-ins, so youโ€™re protected against peeling, bubbling, and cracking. Weโ€™re fully licensed (CA Contractor #1085077), insured, and committed to delivering results that lastโ€”not just results that look good on day one.

Our Professional Painting FAQs

Late spring through early fall (April to October) offers the most consistent weather for exterior painting in the San Francisco Bay. We need temperatures above 50ยฐF and low humidity for optimal paint adhesion and curing. Book 4-6 weeks in advance during summer, our busiest season.

Proper surface prep is everything. Pressure washing, scraping, wood rot repair, priming, and caulking determine how long your paint lasts. Premium coatings like Benjamin Moore Regal and Sherwin-Williams Duration, designed for the San Francisco Bay‘s microclimates, resist fading and weather damage. Insist on a 3-5 year written warranty covering peeling and cracking.

If both need painting, tackle the exterior first, as it protects your home’s structure and prevents moisture damage. Interior painting can happen year-round, but exterior work requires favorable weather. We can coordinate both projects to minimize disruption and maximize efficiency.
