Painting Contractor in Del Mar, CA

Painting Del Mar homes and buildings

Del Mar is small, coastal and particular. The Village and the beach colony are a mix of original cottages, shingle and wood-sided homes and contemporary rebuilds, most of them within a few hundred yards of the water. Up on the bluffs and in Del Mar Heights and the Del Mar Terrace the homes are larger, with ocean-facing walls, decks, railings and a lot of wood detail that takes the full force of salt spray, fog and afternoon sun. Exterior paint here has a shorter life than anywhere inland, and the way to stretch it is prep: a thorough wash to remove salt, scraping and sanding failed coatings back to sound material, priming bare wood and metal, and a coating system chosen for a marine exposure.

Del Mar's design review process means exterior colors and finishes on many properties are reviewed before work starts, and we provide the color and product documentation that process asks for. Inside, the homes call for careful work: plaster and drywall repair before paint, trim and built-ins sprayed for a smooth finish, cabinets refinished rather than replaced, and daily protection of floors and furnishings written into the proposal. The same six steps apply on a beach cottage and a bluff-top house: a line-item written proposal after the site visit, a signed contract, substrate inspection and disclosure, written change orders, company-supervised crews and a final walkthrough with sign-off.

Coastal Del Mar exteriors are itemized surface by surface, because the ocean-facing walls, decks and railings need a different level of prep than the sheltered side of the same house.
