Why prep decides the outcome

Most of an exterior job is preparation. Washing, scraping, patching, caulking and priming take more hours than the finish coats do, and they are the difference between a three-year job and a nine-year job. When you compare bids, compare the prep line items rather than the headline number. A quote that does not itemize prep is hiding where the labor went.

Sun exposure in the foothills

Altadena sits against the San Gabriel Mountains, and south and west elevations take long, direct exposure. Those faces chalk and fade before the rest of the house does. We specify UV-resistant coatings there and, where a house has already faded unevenly, we will tell you honestly whether a full repaint or a single-elevation refresh makes more sense.

Answers

Altadena Painting FAQ

How much does exterior painting cost in Altadena?
$4 to $9 per square foot. A single-story home typically lands between $4,000 and $7,500, and a two-story between $7,000 and $13,000, depending on how much scraping, patching and carpentry the surfaces need.
What prep is included in an exterior paint job?
Power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, patching stucco cracks, caulking gaps at trim and windows, spot-priming bare surfaces and masking. Prep is most of the labor on an exterior job and it is what determines how long the finish lasts.
How long does exterior paint last in Altadena?
Seven to ten years or more with proper prep and premium coatings. South and west elevations in Altadena take hard sun against the San Gabriel foothills and will chalk or fade first, which is why those elevations get UV-resistant products.
Do you repair stucco and wood before painting?
Yes. Cracked stucco is patched and texture-matched, and damaged wood siding, fascia and trim are repaired or replaced before priming. Painting over failing substrate is how a job fails in three years instead of lasting nine.
Do I need approval to change my exterior color in Altadena?
Altadena is unincorporated and falls under Los Angeles County, so there is no city design review counter. Homes within the Historic Highlands Historic District are subject to county design review standards, so check with LA County Regional Planning before changing colors on a property there.
When is the best time to paint an exterior in Altadena?
Spring through fall. Exterior season peaks in spring, so booking early avoids the rush. Cure times stretch on damp mornings, which is a scheduling factor rather than a quality one.
