Moraga is quiet, sunny, and hard on south-facing paint. Between the heat on open elevations and the shade under mature oaks, most homes here age unevenly: one wall chalked and faded, another still sound. We prep each elevation for what it actually needs, which is how you get a finish that looks right from every side.
What we watch for in Moraga
- Chalking and fade on the sun-facing walls, where a wipe of the hand tells the story.
- Caulk lines and trim joints opened up by the summer heat cycle.
- Stucco hairline cracks that need real repair before paint, not just a heavy coat over the top.
- Fences, gates, and trellises that weather faster than the house and drag down the whole look.
Ranch homes, Mediterranean styles, and newer custom builds all get the same treatment: a careful walkthrough, an honest read on the surfaces, and a detailed written proposal before a brush is lifted.
Timing helps here too. Lamorinda’s long dry season is generous to exterior work, and we’ll schedule your project for the window that gives the finish its best start. Interiors, of course, run year-round.
