“Exterior painting in LA requires surface preparation that most budget contractors skip: power washing, mold treatment if present, caulking all gaps at windows and trim, and sanding or scraping any peeling areas back to sound substrate. Paint applied over a compromised surface will fail within 2 years. Good surface prep is 40% of a paint job's longevity.”

Pro Tip

Schedule interior painting after all rough-in and installation work is complete — electrical switches and outlets installed, cabinets in place, flooring done. Painting early to save sequence time creates damage that requires touch-up: caulk popped at window trim, door jamb paint chipped from hardware installation, wall paint damaged during appliance placement. Paint last.
