The highest-quality, full-service residential and commercial painting company located in the East Bay. Aurora Painting has been in business in the Bay Area for 30 years and has a premier reputation among homeowners, builders, architects, designers and residential craft guilds, for the highest quality in exterior and interior painting and preparation.
"We requested estimates from four painting contractors before selecting Aurora Painting & Decorating to paint our exterior and a few interior rooms. Aurora’s pricing was a little higher than the average pricing from all of the estimates, but we really felt that the value was above and beyond the other contractors. The crew was amazing and very professional, arriving promptly in the morning and keeping our grounds and landscaping clean at the end of each day. The crew really seemed engaged with our project and this is a very noticeable quality when you have worked with other contractors that seem uninterested in the client or the client’s project. Aurora was also able to set up a meeting with a color consultant for the project and, fortunately, they are also connected to an excellent carpenter – our house had some serious wood dry rot issues that needed to be addressed during the work. The carpenter (Antonio) was equally amazing and was able to handle all of the dry rot issues before the painting was completed. Dean was very helpful with explaining each phase of the work, answering all of our many questions, and connecting with the crew (and us) if there were additional questions or concerns. A number of our neighbors have used Aurora Painting over the years and we are happy to have found them. We plan to recommend them highly to our friends and hope to have them back to complete the rest of our interior.

"Excellent! I thought I needed a new thermostat since I wasn’t getting any heat. Juan came over , checked the circuit breaker and found that the breaker was worn out. He replaced the breaker and found that the thermostat was still functioning. He could have said that the thermostat needed replacing too but instead he just said you needed a new circuit breaker. I really appreciated the honesty. If he said I needed the thermostat too I would have paid for both thus increasing my bill. I just want to add a few more comments about the work that he’s done for me. I first met Juan when he came over to my house to stabilize a lose tile that was above my garage door. Then I showed him mold growing next to my shower door. He found a small crack that allowed water to seep into the sheet rock. He replaced the shower door and the sheet rock that was growing mold. Then I took him to the bathroom where I showed him a bulging floor board next to the toilet. He found a small crack in the toilet tank that slowly dripped water on to the backside of toilet dripping water onto the base board. He offered to repair the tank but I told him to go ahead and replace the toilet. I can’t say enough about Juan. Whatever the problem is he’ll figure out how to fix it. When he approaches a problem he approaches with a positive attitude. Another time my ceiling fan went out and I asked him to come out to see what the problem was. Instead over the phone he told me to check the remote control. I went on Amazon and ordered a new remote control . I placed in new batteries and the fan started working. He didn’t charge me anything for the advice. I was prepared to buy a new fan and all I needed was a new remote. Juan is multi talented. I’ve recommend him to my neighbor and he’s done a couple of projects for her (leaking roof). Lastly, in a couple of weeks he’s coming over to paint my front door and put a new latch on my side gate. I’m 77 years with an injured leg so fixing things around the house is difficult for me. Juan has made my life easier."

"Flex Painting went above and beyond on our rental home’s exterior painting project. They initially provided a fair and reasonable estimate, but as the project progressed, they identified dry rot, a broken window and sash, rotting stairs, and other structural issues. Instead of just painting over the problems, they handled the necessary repairs, replaced gutters, and even added gutter screens and downspouts—all while maintaining fluid communication with regular updates and photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work were outstanding. We truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend Flex Painting for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team!"

The drying process for pool deck paint happens in stages, with initial drying allowing light foot traffic after the first day or two. However, complete curing—the point at which the paint reaches its full hardness and durability—takes significantly longer.
Weather conditions play a crucial role, with humidity and temperature affecting drying times. For best results, follow manufacturer guidelines and plan your project during a period of stable, moderate weather to ensure proper curing without interruption.
Painting offers an economical alternative to full replacement when your pool deck remains structurally sound. With painting costs ranging from $3 to $8.50 per square foot versus much higher replacement expenses, refreshing with paint makes financial sense for many homeowners.
Beyond cost savings, painting can dramatically improve appearance, enhance safety with slip-resistant finishes, and extend your deck's useful life. However, if your deck shows significant structural deterioration, investing in replacement might prove more economical long-term.
The ideal painting window occurs during moderate temperature periods with low humidity and minimal chance of precipitation. For most regions, spring and fall provide optimal conditions that allow proper paint application and curing without extreme heat or cold interference. Avoid scheduling during your region's rainy season or periods of high humidity, as moisture significantly impacts paint adhesion and curing. Planning your project during the pool's off-season also minimizes disruption to your swimming schedule.
When selecting between epoxy and acrylic formulations for concrete surfaces, consider durability requirements, application complexity, and budget constraints. Epoxy products, while more expensive at $100 to $200 per gallon, deliver superior chemical resistance and longevity, making them ideal for high-traffic or commercial settings.
Acrylic alternatives offer easier application and quicker drying times, but require more frequent reapplication. Your climate, pool usage patterns, and comfort with application techniques should guide your selection for optimal results.
