Exterior painting that survives Fresno summers.
The paint job is only as good as the prep under it. We wash, scrape, patch stucco, caulk and prime — then put on a coat rated for 105-degree Julys.
What we paint
- Full exterior repaints — stucco, siding, trim, fascia, eaves
- Stucco crack repair and patching before paint
- Fence staining and painting, gate repair
- Patio covers, pergolas, garage doors and front doors
- Dry-rot replacement of fascia and trim boards
- Interior painting when we're already there for a remodel
Prep is the job
Fresno sun and heat destroy paint that was put on dirty or chalky stucco. Our crew pressure-washes, scrapes anything loose, patches cracks, caulks every gap and primes bare spots before the finish coats go on. It takes an extra day and it's the difference between a job that looks great for two years and one that looks great for ten.

Nick was very prompt on his response and reliable. His crews are easy to work with and respect the property. I would hire his company to do the future home improvements or upgrades.

Questions we hear every week.
How long does an exterior paint job take?
Most single-story Fresno homes are 3–5 days including prep. Two-story homes and heavy stucco repair take a little longer.
What paint do you use?
Premium exterior acrylic rated for high-heat, high-UV climates. Nick will tell you the exact product at the estimate.
Do you paint fences and patio covers?
Yes. Fence staining, painting and repair is one of our most common exterior jobs — the before-and-after on our home page is a real Fresno backyard.
Do you repair stucco before painting?
Always. Cracks are patched and textured to match before a drop of paint goes on.
