Trim Repair and Painting in Del Mar, CA
If we could boil down two of the main takeaways you often hear in our blog articles, they would be: 1 ) keep up on your maintenance painting, and 2 ) make sure the job is done the right way.

And doing the job the right way is essential too. Cut corners and band-aid fixes never offer real solutions, and often need to be redone in a short amount of time. It’s more expensive to pay for three bad paint jobs than it is to pay for one really good one.
With all of this in mind, let’s talk wood repair and care, plus exterior house painting. Windows, doors, and trim are particularly vulnerable to wood rot and decay, making it essential that you invest in proactive, routine maintenance. This is especially true of our more coastal communities, like Del Mar , where the airborne moisture content is higher.
