Frequently asked questions
Do you paint homes in Berkeley?
Yes. Berkeley is one of our primary service areas. We paint exteriors, interiors, cabinets, and commercial spaces across North Berkeley, Elmwood, Claremont, Thousand Oaks, the Berkeley Hills, and downtown.
How much does exterior painting cost in Berkeley?
Most full-home exterior projects in Berkeley fall between $13,000 and $18,000, depending on square footage, surface condition, and prep complexity. Homes built before 1978 may need lead-safe work, which adds to the estimate. Every quote we give is itemized so you see exactly what drives the price.
How long does exterior paint last in Berkeley's climate?
A quality exterior paint job on a properly prepped Berkeley home lasts 7 to 10 years. Berkeley's signature brown-shingle and cedar exteriors run a shorter cycle of about 5 to 7 years, and homes in heavy-fog blocks may see wear sooner on south- and west-facing walls.
Do you paint brown shingle, Craftsman, and Victorian homes?
Yes. Berkeley's First Bay Tradition brown shingles, Craftsman bungalows, and Victorians are our specialty. We handle shingle replacement, decorative trim, millwork, and full-color restoration schemes, and we work slowly and carefully on architectural detail.
Are you EPA Lead-Safe certified for pre-1978 Berkeley homes?
Yes. More than 80% of Berkeley homes predate the 1978 lead paint ban. We are a fully certified EPA Lead-Safe Firm (Certification NAT-F340213-1) and follow federal RRP containment, cleanup, and disposal protocols on every older home.
Can you match historic paint colors on a Berkeley home?
Yes. We can match existing colors, pull from a historic palette, or build a new scheme from scratch. For homes in historic districts or from the Maybeck and Julia Morgan era, we flag when the Landmarks Preservation Commission may need to weigh in. Color consultation is included in every exterior project.
