Piedmont’s homes were built to be kept. Tudor estates, Craftsman houses, and Mediterranean revivals, most of them approaching or past the century mark, set behind mature gardens on quiet streets. Painting a home like that isn’t a production-line job. It’s craft work, and craft work is what Aurora does.
Trusted with the Bay Area’s landmark homes since 1987. That’s our line, and Piedmont is exactly the kind of place we earn it.
What Piedmont homes ask of a painter
- Old-growth wood trim and detail that deserves hand prep, not shortcuts.
- Stucco, half-timber, and wood in combination, each needing the right product on the right surface.
- Color schemes that respect the architecture and sit well on the street.
- Mature landscaping that has to be protected while the work gets done.
Nearly every home in Piedmont predates 1978, which means lead-safe practice matters. Aurora is an EPA RRP Lead-Safe Certified Firm. We sand with HEPA-filtered equipment, contain the debris, and remove it sealed from your property.
How we work
We start with a walkthrough, not a form price. We look at the substrate, the condition of the trim, and what the prep really needs, then put a detailed written proposal in your hands. When the job starts, the crew you meet is the crew that finishes, and the site stays tidy every day in between.
The Aurora standard
Landmark care for every home. Aurora holds California Contractor License #721226, is EPA Lead-Safe Certified, and has been named on two preservation awards (BAHA 2006, AAPS 2021). Every job carries our 3-year workmanship warranty.
