Interior Painting

Service

Interior Painting

Transform every room with flawless color and finish.

Anyone can apply a coat of paint. What makes a great interior painter is meticulous preparation of the surfaces and decades of experience in the craft of painting. Finesse, sharp lines, even application of paint, attention to detail, and cleanliness are all key. Poor brush strokes and uneven roller marks are magnified on new surfaces.

2Meticulous preparation work includes hole and crack repair, replacing loose and deteriorating caulk, and hand and machine sanding as appropriate

Exterior Painting

Service

Exterior Painting

Protect your home and boost curb appeal for years to come.

Bay Area weather — fog, salt air, and UV exposure — is tough on exterior paint. An experienced contractor that uses premium coatings and does meticulous prep will ensure your exterior looks great and holds for years to come.

Our Process

1Carefully pressure wash all surfaces to remove dirt and mildew with phosphate free cleaner that will not damage landscaping.
2All loose, peeling, and blistering paint will be removed by specially shaped hand scrapers. We will also hand sand using various grades of sandpaper, and a variety of power sanders. If necessary, loose and broken window glazing will be removed. Wood sash will then be primed and reglazed. Loose and deteriorating caulk will be removed and replaced with new caulk. Large seams or gaps will first be pre-filled with compressible foam and then caulked. Special attention will be paid to areas where water may leak into the house, such as above window frames. Nail holes and other small holes will be patched and primed. Raised and rusty nails will be countersunk, patched, and primed. Bare wood will be primed with a stain-sealing primer. Horizontal openings under boards in lap siding are normal and allow for the house to "breathe" and prevent moisture from being trapped in the walls. They will not be caulked for this reason.
3If there are carpentry repairs we prime and paint all 6 surfaces of the new wood ensuring a seal from moisture
4Color consulting available. Paint samples will be applied by job foreman who will ensure the color you love is applied in the finish that will endure
5Meticulous job site clean up daily and at the end of the job. End of job site visit and walk through with the job foreman

Deck Restoration

Service

Deck Restoration

Bring your deck back to life with expert prep and premium stain.

A neglected deck can become a safety hazard and an eyesore. Our deck restoration process goes beyond a quick coat of stain — we address structural issues, replace damaged boards, and apply a finish that protects against moisture, UV, and foot traffic.

Our Process

1Inspect for rot, loose boards, and structural issues
2Pressure wash surfaces
3Sand all surfaces
4Replace damaged or rotted boards as needed
5Once we clean and sand the wood, we protect it with a water-repellent finish. Water repellents stop moisture from penetrating the wood surface, which can cause swelling, shrinking, warping and cracking.

Included Benefits

Frequent Add On Items Include:
Railings, balusters, posts, stairs and landings
Pergolas, Arbors, ADU's, Fences and the most popular; restoration of wooden deck furniture

Materials & Products

We use premium products and penetrating stains that nourish the wood and provide lasting UV and moisture protection.

Our Process

1Inspect and clean all surfaces
2Sand and prep existing finish as needed
3Repair cracks, splits, or damaged wood
4Apply premium penetrating stain in even coats
5Final inspection and touch-up

Pressure Washing

Service

Pressure Washing

A deep clean that preps surfaces and restores their original look.

Pressure washing is the essential first step before any exterior painting or deck restoration — Gently but thoroughly wash all exterior surfaces of the house with an environmentally friendly cleaning solution to remove dirt and grime and to neutralize mold and mildew.

Our Process

1Assess surface type and select appropriate pressure and nozzle
2Pre-treat mildew, algae, and heavy staining
3Wash from top to bottom in overlapping passes

5Allow adequate dry time before painting or staining

Dry Rot Repair & Carpentry

Service

Dry Rot Repair & Carpentry

Stop rot in its tracks before it becomes a costly structural problem.

Dry rot is one of the most common — and most overlooked — problems on Bay Area homes. Left untreated, it spreads and compromises structural integrity. We identify all affected areas, remove and replace damaged wood, and seal everything properly before painting. At the start of the paint job, we will point out any carpentry, metal, door/window or other repairs that you may want to have corrected. If these repairs are not too extensive and don't involve building permits, we can usually do them. We have experienced carpenters on staff.

Our Process

1Probe and identify all areas of active or past rot
2Remove damaged wood back to solid material
3We'll also determine the source of the problem so it doesn't happen again. We will seal your wood to keep additional moisture out and stop dry rot from reoccurring.
4Replace with rot-resistant wood
5No shortcuts. We prime all 6 sides of new repairs and paint to match existing finish

Included Benefits

We specialize in all types of carpentry associated with home repair, maintenance and remodeling. We will determine and clearly identify proper materials and material quantities for new and existing projects. We can also construct, install, and repair structures and fixtures of wood, plywood and wallboard. Other projects we can do include:
Fascia boards and soffits
Windows and sills
Door frames and thresholds
Siding and trim boards
