Frequently asked questions
Do you paint homes in Kensington?
Yes. We serve all of Kensington, from the Colusa Circle blocks to the homes above Arlington Avenue. Exteriors, interiors, cabinets, and decks.
Can you handle Kensington's steep hillside homes?
Yes. Many Kensington homes are multi-level houses stepping down the slope, with decks, railings, and complicated access. We plan scaffolding and staging carefully and include it transparently in the estimate.
How much does exterior painting cost in Kensington?
Most full-home exterior projects in Kensington fall between $14,000 and $24,000, depending on access, shingle condition, and prep. Kensington has some of the oldest housing stock in the East Bay hills, so surface preparation drives the price. Every quote is itemized.
Are you EPA Lead-Safe certified for Kensington's older homes?
Yes. In Kensington it matters on nearly every job, since the median home here dates to the 1940s. We are a fully certified EPA Lead-Safe Firm (Certification NAT-F340213-1) and follow federal RRP containment and cleanup protocols.
Can painting help protect my home against wildfire?
It can be part of the plan. Kensington sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone in the East Bay Hills. We offer ignition-resistant exterior coating options, ember-conscious attention to eaves, soffits, and decks, and prep that works with your defensible-space efforts.
How long does exterior paint last in Kensington?
The fog-and-sun cycle is hard on Kensington's wood shingle and siding. With proper prep, expect roughly 7 to 10 years; west- and Bay-facing elevations often weather first.
