Complete Exterior Repaint on a Carmel Valley Home

This Carmel Valley home is a great example of what a full exterior repaint can do. The stucco had faded and lost its color uniformity over time - pretty common with San Diego sun exposure. The wrought iron details, trim, and garage doors had all seen better days too. Nothing was broken, but the whole exterior just looked tired.

We went color-to-color on everything. Fresh stucco painting throughout, new color on the garage doors, trim lines cleaned up, and the wrought iron details painted to match the updated palette. When you're doing a full exterior like this, every surface has to work together. If you miss one, it shows.

For the paint itself, we used Dunn-Edwards EverShield - a premium exterior formula built specifically for UV exposure and harsh outdoor conditions. That matters a lot in Southern California. The sun here is relentless, and a paint that can't hold its color will start looking dull within a couple of years. EverShield is formulated to fight that from day one.

The before-and-after difference on this one is hard to miss. The stucco went from a blotchy, faded tan to a clean, consistent finish. The garage doors went from worn-out to sharp. The wrought iron went from rusty-looking to intentional. All of it working together is what gives a home like this its curb appeal back.

This is the kind of work we do every day across San Diego - full exterior repaints that hold up and actually look the way they're supposed to look when the job is done.
