Two Men and a Brush Painting is a small, owner-operated business providing painting and related services across the South Bay and surrounding locales. Established in 1983, we take pride in the fact that 100% of our business comes from satisfied customer referrals and repeat customers--the strongest validations possible. We are also top-rated on YELP.

"Scott painted all the interior walls in our new house, he patched and painted the garage and made it so much nicer, he painted our kitchen cabinets, which turned out beautiful and saved us so much money compared to refacing, and he also painted a tricky accent wall covered with reclaimed wood after patching it, and that changed from a weird problem to an elegant feature of the house. All these projects were expertly done on time while I was away, and his estimates for each were accurate and lower than those of his competitors. When I have other projects I will go straight to him."

Super Service Award Winner 10 years in a row and almost 35 years of experience serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area! When it comes to wooden decks, fences, siding, etc., we are leading the industry in cleaning, restoring, refinishing, preserving (staining, sealing) and maintaining all exterior wooden surfaces that are not painted. We do not do new construction, but we do make small repairs. One of our goals is to deliver the highest quality customer service and knowledge of exterior wood restoration, preservation and maintenance. Our policy is that we don't take a dime of your money until the work is done and you are happy. Knowledge about the product is one thing, but delivering outstanding service and running a solid company is equally important. Our mission is to advocate for your money and give good honest advice whether or not you decide to hire us.

"CalPreserving was the total deal! I didn't know what all we needed and all the serves Iooked at seemed to offer only a piece of the puzzle, such as just power washing, or construction, or staining. This group did it all. The initial visit to assess the issues was informative and helpful. We could see our choices. They offered sound advice and looked at ways to save us money where it was possible. We ended up replacing about half the boards on the oldest deck. The finished product on both decks looks amazing -- like new. The workmen were thoughtful, knowledgeable, hard working, and polite. I was impressed that they even followed up with tips on maintaining the decks for years to come. I will definitely have them back every couple of years just to check on the decks and preserve the investments we have made in them. My highest recommendation."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Palo Alto, CA

Painting an old or worn garage door is a budget-friendly way to refresh your home's exterior and boost its curb appeal without paying for the cost of replacement. A fresh coat of paint not only enhances the look of your garage but also helps protect it from the elements, potentially extending its lifespan. Even if there's rust present, you can address it by cleaning, priming, and painting over it for a seamless finish.

Sanding your garage door before painting is an important step that helps the paint adhere properly and last longer. It smooths out rough spots, removes peeling paint or rust, and gets rid of dirt and debris that could affect the finish. If your door has a glossy finish, lightly sanding it will also help the paint stick better.

Painting a garage door takes two to three days from start to finish, including preparation, painting, and drying time. This allows each coat to dry fully and ensures a professional-quality finish. Hiring a professional painter and taking the time to do it right helps achieve a long-lasting, durable paint job.

One gallon of paint covers close to 400 square feet, which is often enough for two to three coats on a standard one- or two-car garage door. This ensures complete coverage and an even finish, especially if the door is properly prepped and primed. If you’re using a darker color or painting over a contrasting shade, you may require more coats to achieve your desired finish.
