"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!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in San Francisco, 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.
