I think my house looks fantastic! It’s an old house (early 1940s) and they were very attentive to removing the old paint and making sure all the cracks were filled. Everyone from PB Painting was so nice and so easy to work with and kept me updated on their progress daily. The project took longer than the initial quote but isn’t that normal? I would recommend PB Painting to everyone.

I found PB painting on the internet. I read the reviews and decided to contact them. Communication went very smoothly with Cameron and his team. He quickly was out to my house to give me a quote. His quote was reasonable so I hired them that day. Luis and David did amazing job painting my house. They were there on time every morning and worked really hard. I was very pleased with all their work and would recommend them to my neighbors and friends.

We hired PB Painting to repaint the exterior of our house, and we had a very positive experience overall. I was impressed by how responsive and prompt they were throughout the process. Cameron came by every day to check on the progress and make sure things were going well, which we really appreciated. We also want to thank Jose and his team for all of their hard work. They were careful, responsive, and put a lot of effort into making our house look nice. We appreciated their attention to detail and the care they took with the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a stucco painting project take?
A typical stucco paint job for an average single-family stucco house in San Diego takes 3 to 7 days, depending on prep, repairs, and drying time. Projects with extensive repairs or large textured surfaces may take longer.
Why is surface preparation important for stucco exterior painting?
Proper surface preparation removes dirt and mildew, addresses peeling paint, and repairs cracks so primers and coatings adhere correctly. It helps prevent moisture penetration and extends the life of the finish.
Do you repair cracks and hairline cracks before painting?
Yes. We repair cracks, fill hairline cracks, and patch crumbling areas as part of the preparation process so the finished surface is clean, sound, and durable.
Can you match existing stucco texture?
Yes. Our team uses specialized patching techniques to match existing stucco texture as closely as possible so repaired areas blend more naturally with the surrounding surface.
What coating options do you recommend for stucco in San Diego?
We commonly recommend elastomeric coatings or high-quality masonry paints with mildew-resistant additives. These products provide flexible, long-lasting protection against moisture and sun exposure.
Will you use a paint sprayer on stucco surfaces?
In many cases, yes. We may use a paint sprayer on large textured surfaces, then combine that with brush and roller work to ensure even coverage and preserve the look of the stucco texture.
How do you prevent peeling and poor adhesion on stucco?
We reduce the risk of peeling by pressure washing, removing surface contamination, repairing damaged areas, applying the proper primer, and making sure the stucco is completely dry before coating.
Do you handle trim, doors and window details during stucco painting?
Yes. We paint and protect trim, doors, and window casings as part of the overall project so the finished exterior looks polished and complete.
Are your coatings mildew resistant?
Yes. We use mildew-resistant paints and coatings where appropriate to help protect exterior walls from mold and mildew, especially in coastal San Diego conditions.
How do you handle homes with structural damage to stucco?
If we find structural damage, we document it and explain the issue clearly. Minor repairs may be handled in-house, while significant structural concerns are referred to qualified contractors before painting begins.
Do you clean and wash stucco before painting?
Yes. We use pressure washer cleaning to remove dirt and prepare the surface, then allow the stucco to dry completely before primer and finish coats are applied.
Will the paint color affect the stucco texture?
The color itself will not change the texture, but sheen level and application method can affect how the texture appears visually. We can provide guidance and samples when needed.
How often should a stucco home's exterior be repainted?
Most stucco exteriors should be repainted every 8 to 15 years depending on the existing coating, maintenance, and how much sun and weather exposure the home gets.
Can you paint commercial buildings or only residential homes?
We primarily focus on residential and high-end homes across North San Diego, but we can review compatible commercial painting projects on a case-by-case basis.
