    Exterior Painters La Jolla

    La Jolla exterior painters aren’t all built the same. We at J Brown Painting understand that your home is a huge investment and that just slapping a coat of paint on it isn't going to cut it. Our careful process includes a thorough pressure wash, scraping and power sanding any chipping, peeling, or flaking paint, a healthy dose of primer in those heavily sanded areas, caulking the joints where the fascia boards meet, wood repair as necessary, stucco repair as necessary, masking all items on and around the house that will not be painted, and of course, applying two coats of premium paint.

    Once you’ve filtered them out, look for companies that exhibit dependability and affordability, have a robust portfolio, and who have a proven track record of communication excellence.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does being this close to the ocean shorten how long the paint lasts?
    Yes, and it is worth planning around. Two things wear an exterior finish down faster than anything else: direct sun and salt air. La Jolla gets both.

    The clearest example we can give is gutters, where a properly prepared finish runs 15 to 20 years. Homes further inland and out of constant sun land nearer the 20-year end. Close to the coast, with salt in the air, expect the 15-year end of that range.

    The same logic applies to the body of the house. It does not mean coastal homes need painting constantly — it means the preparation and the grade of paint matter more here than they would ten miles inland, because the finish has less margin to give.
    How often should a house in La Jolla be repainted?
    That depends entirely on who painted it last and whether the job was done properly.

    If the prep was right — a thorough power wash, chipping and peeling paint scraped and sanded, bare wood and sanded areas primed, cracks caulked, rotten wood replaced, failing stucco patched — and the finish was two coats of a better-to-best 100% acrylic, then repainting about every 10 years is reasonable.

    Most houses in San Diego end up on a shorter cycle, closer to six or seven years. That is not the weather doing it. It is an average contractor working with low- to mid-grade paint.

    There is also a case for not waiting until the paint visibly fails. Repainting nearer the 10-year mark means the next crew is not scraping and sanding a failed finish first, and that labor is what makes a late repaint cost more than an early one.

      The exterior of the house needed to be re-painted. Justin's crew arrived on time and performed flawlessly. If you are looking for a painting company give them a call and have Justin come out to go over your project with you. You'll get a fair quote and his crew will perform beyond your expectations.

    • Ron Evans – La Jolla, CA

      J Brown painting is an excellent company. Very reliable and very professional. They were on time and did an excellent job keeping their work clean. Easy to work with Justin and the rest of the crew. They also give excellent advise and recommendations with no pressure what so ever. I would highly recommend this company to paint your exterior and interior.

    • Danielle Hunter – La Jolla, CA

      I contacted Justin and he was incredibly responsive, giving me a quote within a few hours to paint our kitchen cabinets. He did a wonderful job of explaining the process. We were lucky that his team was ready to go the next week painting our cabinets, and we have a lot of them. We had purchased new cabinet doors, and he helped us understand what was needed prior to painting as we were putting on new soft close hinges. When the guys arrived, they were prompt, nice, and very communicative as to the process. They taped everything up well, and hung plastic in both our kitchen and our garage where they were painting the doors. I work from home with 2 dogs, and they made it very easy for me to take them out when needed. It took them 3 days to prep, sand, prime, and put on 2 coats of paint, which is impressive if you've ever painted cabinets before. I would highly recommend Justin and his team!
