How we handle exterior painting in Irvine
Inspect
We look for cracked stucco, peeling or chalking paint, failed caulk and damaged wood, and list each one in your estimate.
Wash
Dirt, chalk and mildew come off so new paint can bond to a clean surface.
Repair
Hairline stucco cracks are filled, loose paint is scraped and feathered, and gaps around windows, doors and trim are re-caulked.
Prime
Bare wood, patched areas and stains get primer before any color goes on.
Paint
Coatings go on by brush, roller or sprayer depending on the surface, with the number of coats stated in your estimate.
Walkthrough
We check the finished work with you and touch up anything we missed.
Stucco painting and elastomeric coatings
Many Irvine-area homes have stucco exteriors. Stucco is porous and textured, so it takes more paint than smooth siding and needs crack repair first. We explain your options before you decide:
- Exterior acrylic paint: breathable, available in many colors and sheens, and a common choice for stucco in good condition.
- Elastomeric coating: a thick, flexible coating that can bridge hairline cracks and shed water. It is heavier and less breathable, so it is not right for every wall. We’ll tell you whether it suits yours.
- Finish: flat or matte hides texture on stucco walls, while satin and semi-gloss are easier to clean and suit trim, doors and fascia.
Exterior Painting in Irvine: what to expect
Irvine is largely made up of planned villages, with stucco homes, tile roofs and consistent architectural styles.
Planned-community homes are mostly stucco with tight color rules, so we match approved palettes and plan crack repair and caulking around them.
Irvine's inland planned communities get strong sun and some marine layer, so exterior surfaces face both fading and occasional moisture.
Most Irvine neighborhoods have an HOA with design review and approved exterior color palettes, so approval is usually the first step.
We paint homes throughout Irvine, including Woodbridge, Northwood, Turtle Rock, Orchard Hills, in ZIP codes 92602, 92603, 92604, 92606, 92612, 92614, 92618, 92620.
Timing and tips for Irvine homeowners
We don’t publish flat prices because every home is different. Your written estimate itemizes the surfaces, prep, products and coats for your Irvine home. See the exterior painting overview for the full list of what affects cost.
Best timing
In Irvine we schedule work after HOA approval is in hand and plan around marine layer and the occasional hot, dry spell.
A local tip
Ask your HOA whether it needs a paint chip, sample board or signed form, and bring that to the walkthrough so we can help.
Exterior Painting in Irvine: common questions
Do I need HOA approval to repaint my Irvine home?
In most Irvine neighborhoods, yes. Your association has an approved palette and approval process, and exterior color changes usually need sign-off before work starts. We paint to the approved palette.
Do I need to be home while you paint?
Usually not, as long as we have access to the exterior, water and power. We confirm the details before the start date.
Can you paint over cracks in stucco?
Hairline cracks can be filled and painted over. Larger or structural cracks need stucco repair first, and we'll tell you which you have when we walk the house.
