Exterior House Painting in Simi Valley

In Ventura County and part of L.A. County, the sun does not take a day off. Over time, it fades in color, dries out wood, and cracks stucco. That is why exterior painting is what Martin Carabajal Painting does most, about 70 percent of our work. We do not just roll on a new coat. We wash the surface, make repairs, and prep every inch before painting. Then we apply Dunn-Edwards EverShield, a coating designed to resist fading and withstand heat. The result protects your home and brings back its curb appeal. Every project ends with a walkthrough, so nothing gets missed.

Full-Service Exterior House Painting

A lasting exterior job is more than painting walls. Martin Carabajal Painting handles every surface on the outside of your home, from the front door to the gutters. We prep and repair as we go, so the paint lasts. Below are the exterior services we provide. Some, like pressure washing and carpentry, are prep steps included in your project. Others, like stucco and trim, are the finish work that makes your home look new. If you do not see what you need, just ask during your free estimate.

Your front door is the first thing guests and buyers notice. We clean, sand, and repaint it in the color you choose, with a smooth finish that withstands sun and daily use. A fresh door lifts the look of the whole entry.

A faded garage door drags down the look of the entire front. We prep and repaint metal and wood garage doors to match your home. The finish resists sun and weather, so the color stays consistent across the front of the house.

Trim, shutters, and soffits frame your home and take heavy sun exposure. We mask, prep, and paint each one by hand for clean lines. This detail work is what separates a rushed job from a finish that looks sharp up close.

Paint will not stick to damaged siding. Before we paint, we check the siding and repair or replace boards that are cracked, warped, or rotted. Fixing the surface first is the only way to get a finish that lasts.

Handrails get touched, gripped, and weathered every day. We sand, prep, and coat metal and wood handrails for a durable finish that withstands constant use and sun exposure. Safe, solid, and matched to your home.

Gutters and downspouts are easy to overlook, but faded or mismatched ones stand out. We clean, prep, and paint them to match your trim or body color, so the whole exterior looks finished and consistent.

We stain and seal decks and fences to protect the wood from sun and moisture. This is often done alongside an exterior repaint. See our deck and fence page for the full process and options.

When we find dry rot or damaged wood during prep, we repair or replace it before painting. This carpentry work is part of doing the job right. Painting over bad wood only hides the problem for a season.

Most homes here are stucco, and they need the right prep and coating. We mask, prep, and paint stucco surfaces evenly for full coverage. When the stucco is cracked, we repair it first. See our stucco repair section below.

Every exterior project starts with a pressure wash. We remove dirt, chalk, and mildew, then let the surface dry fully before painting. We offer pressure washing as a prep step for our painting jobs, not as a standalone service.

Stucco Repair and Painting

Most homes in Ventura County and part of L.A. County are stucco, and stucco cracks as it ages and shifts. Here is the problem: paint does not fill a crack. Cover it without repairing it, and the crack shows through the new coat within a season. Martin Carabajal Painting repairs stucco before we repaint. We fill and seal the cracks, prep the surface, then prime and paint to protect and level the wall.

This is a big reason exterior painting is our specialty. A repaint that skips the repair is not a repaint that lasts. If your stucco is cracking, point it out during your free estimate, and we will include the repair in your written price.

Dry Rot Repair and Wood Replacement

Dry rot spreads behind paint where you cannot see it. Left alone, it weakens fascia, trim, and siding until the wood fails. Martin Carabajal Painting checks for dry rot during prep and repairs or replaces the damaged sections before painting. This is one of the most common questions homeowners ask us, and the answer is yes, we handle it. Fixing the wood first is the difference between a paint job that lasts and one that peels within a year.

Exterior House Painting FAQs

Homeowners asked these questions. Here are honest answers.

Start with license, insurance, and reviews. Ask whether they pressure wash, repair damaged wood, and use a named exterior product. Ask if the same crew stays through the whole job.

Yes. Exterior paint is one of the most visible upgrades a home can have, and buyers notice it first. It also protects stucco and wood from the sun and moisture, preventing costly damage later. A repaint with Dunn-Edwards EverShield protects that investment and keeps its color for years. It is both a curb-appeal upgrade and a maintenance step.

California has dry, mild weather most of the year, so exterior painting is possible in almost every season. We avoid painting during rain or extreme heat, since both affect how paint cures. The right time to repaint is when you see fading, chalking, or peeling. Waiting past that point lets moisture reach the wood and stucco underneath.

We use Dunn-Edwards EverShield for exterior work. It is made to resist fading, cracking, and sun damage, which matters in Ventura County and part of L.A. County heat. The right paint is only part of the result. Proper prep, a clean surface, and two full coats are what make the finish last. We match the color and sheen to your home and your preference.

Most exterior painting projects take about five days. The work runs in order: pressure washing, prep and repairs, body coats, then trim and detail work, and a final walkthrough. Larger or two-story homes take longer. Weather and the extent of repairs needed can also affect the timeline.
