House Painters in Martinez, CA

A historic downtown of older houses, and hills that take more sun than the waterfront.

Martinez has an older downtown of wood houses and storefronts, then hillside neighborhoods that feel more like central Contra Costa. The houses near the strait see wind. The houses up the hill see heat. John Muir’s town is not a single exterior condition.

Downtown projects are often trim-heavy: windows, porches, and wood that has been painted many times. Hill projects are more often stucco bodies with a wood fascia. We price them as different scopes even when they share a ZIP code.

Housing

Older wood houses and small commercial buildings downtown, and stucco and ranch houses on the hills and in Hidden Valley.

Climate

Wind off the strait near the water, and hot summer afternoons on the south- and west-facing hills. Less fog than Richmond.

Questions about painting in Martinez

Can you paint an older downtown Martinez house with original trim?

Yes. Exterior painting includes trim, fascia, and accent work. On a downtown wood house the trim is often most of the labor. We scrape and prime bare wood instead of coating over failure.

Are hillside stucco houses a separate kind of job?

They are a different prep. Stucco gets washed, cracks caulked, and bare repairs primed. The heat on those hills also means we do not coat a wall that is too hot. Downtown wood is scheduled around wind more than heat.

Do you paint the small commercial buildings downtown?

Professional painting covers commercial properties as well as houses. A storefront and the residence above it can be one project or two. Say which surfaces you want in the estimate request.

Is the estimate free if the house needs paint removal first?

Yes. Looking at the house and telling you whether the paint has to come off is part of a free estimate. Paint removal is its own service when the existing coating has failed.
