A lot more is involved with keep­ing your home’s sur­faces hap­py and pro­tect­ed than JUST apply­ing paint (as impor­tant as that is). That’s why our team at Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing offers more than expert paint appli­ca­tion , but also spe­cial­izes in repair­ing rot­ten wood, cracked stuc­co, and more. That makes it sim­ple for you (one-stop shop­ping is always a good thing), and it also makes it eas­i­er for us since we know that every aspect of the project can be han­dled in-house and to our stan­dards. If there is a spe­cial­ized ser­vice that requires out­side help, we have a net­work of trust­ed pro­fes­sion­als that we can tap into.

Today, let’s dive into an exte­ri­or paint­ing project we fin­ished recent­ly in Del Mar. And, you guessed it: the work required more than paint. The pho­tos tell the sto­ry bet­ter than we ever could, so we’ll walk you through our process step by step, explain­ing each stage. Kind of like your own, per­son­al exte­ri­or paint­ing tour guide.
