"As part of our annual home maintenance project, exterior painting for our house was in consideration. We sought five reputable house painters. All were decent and professional. Our initial consultation showed that Certa Pro Painter in San Mateo was cut above the rest. The rep, John Galang, showed up with deep knowledge about different paints, finishes, and techniques. He was more than happy to share insights on what would work best for our home, considering its condition and the local climate, and also, we belong to a homeowner association. Throughout the painting process, their competency shone through. They prepped the surfaces meticulously, ensuring the house was clean, cracks were filled, and everything was primed throughout. It was evident that the painters had tremendous trade experience and took pride in their craft. The result was a beautiful finish, and we were happy with their work. Moreover, their professionalism extended beyond just the quality of their painting. They maintained a clean workspace, always showed up on time, and communicated effectively, keeping us in the loop about the progress and any necessary adjustments. During the process, the rep, John, even showed up to walk through with us. He did what he promised during the consolation meeting. Our experience with Certa Pro Painter was exceptional three weeks after they finished the painting. They were not the cheapest. Among the five we got quotes from, they were somewhere in the middle. But considering a knowledgeable painter fully insured, bonded, and licensed, we looked no further to pick them. If anyone is seeking a quality house painter, we wholeheartedly recommend them or at least consider them in the bidding process."

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.
