Exterior House Painting en Santa Cruz — Preguntas Frecuentes

How often should I paint my home's exterior in NorCal?+

Every 7–10 years for quality acrylic latex paint. South- and west-facing walls fade faster due to intense Central Valley sun and may need attention sooner.

What is the best time of year to paint exterior in NorCal?+

Late spring through early fall (April–October) is ideal. Avoid painting when temperatures are below 50 degrees F or above 95 degrees F, or when rain is forecast within 24 hours.

Should I use a sprayer or brushes for exterior?+

A combination is best. Airless sprayers cover large siding areas quickly, while brushes ensure proper adhesion on trim and detailed areas. Back-brushing sprayed surfaces improves durability.

Do I need to remove all old paint before repainting?+

No. Only loose, peeling, or flaking paint needs to be removed. Sound, well-adhered paint provides a good base for new coats. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint requiring special handling.
