The foundation of A+ painting is built on doing the job right, and doing it right only. Family owned and operated business since the early 90's and branch out in 2005. Our core goals in every job is to examine the condition of the surfaces, make recommendations, and to resolve any issues with the job. Then, the next step is the right prep work, applying primers, then finishes. We use products from professional companies like Sherwin Williams, Kelly Moore, etc. The range of the products could be from contractor grades to premiums. But we highly recommend premium products to have long lasting results. We offer free on sight visit and color consultation. We do have reviews on other websites, and they could be viewed upon request. Again, our main goal is a happy, -long term client. And we intend to provide that to you. In Santa Clara County call 408-391-1009. In San Mateo County call 650-906-7072.

"George and team really did a fantastic job! George came out for the estimate as scheduled. Provided a very competitive quote for the job the same day. I hired him and within the week he and the crew completed the job in two days. They did the prep work the right way; plaster walls needed lots of crack repairs and they cleaned/prepped the walls for proper painting. We now have our go-to painter! Signed, Happy Customer Dan."

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs

Start with a deep clean—most pros use a pressure washer to blast away dust and chalk. Patch cracks with masonry caulk, let them cure, then roll on an acrylic primer. Finish with two coats of high-quality exterior paint using a roller or, better yet, an airless sprayer for even coverage. Skip brushes on broad stucco walls; they’re slow and leave streaks.

Fresh paint seals hairline cracks, boosts UV resistance, and gives curb appeal an instant lift—often a plus when it’s time to sell. The trade-offs? Stucco requires a full cure before painting; the job is labor-intensive, and the wrong coating can trap moisture. Budget accordingly and use paint specifically designed for masonry to avoid peeling later.

When estimating the amount of paint you’ll need for a stucco house, plan on double the paint you’d use for smooth siding. A gallon that covers 400 square feet of flat wall often coats only about 200 square feet of textured stucco, so a 2,000-square-foot exterior may need 10 to 15 gallons.

Painting your stucco wall is a proven alternative to the expense and disruption of re-stuccoing the entire exterior. It refreshes the appearance and protects the surface without the investment of new material. Using high-quality, weather-resistant paint and following correct preparation procedures prevents moisture retention and ensures long-lasting performance. This method offers an efficient means to update your home while maintaining durability.

Rollers work, but an airless sprayer is the gold standard for full exteriors—it gets paint deep into the texture and speeds up the job. Reserve brushes for tight trim only. Whichever tool your exterior painting pro chooses, they’ll keep a wet edge and apply two thin coats for the longest-lasting finish.
