Home Painting
A professional paint job does more than make your home look beautiful — it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to increase property value and protect your investment. Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to refresh your space, a well-executed professional home painting application delivers a compelling return on investment, and can add thousands to your home’s resale value while guarding against Hawaii’s harsh sun, moisture, and salt air. We combine expert craftsmanship with premium materials to give your home lasting beauty, protection, and increased market appeal — all in one transformative service.
Paint Job Preparation & Execution
Cleaning Before Primer
In Hawaii’s humid climate, mold, mildew, and salt grime aren’t just common — they’re relentless. We never skip the most important step before applying primer: a deep, professional cleaning.
We begin with a preliminary cleaning of all exterior surfaces of your home to remove loose dirt, salt, and surface debris. This clears the way for the next essential step: treating the surface with a specially formulated, outdoor-safe bleach/fungicide based mildew wash. This treatment breaks down stubborn grime and mildew that prep washing alone can’t eliminate. After that, we conduct powerful pressure wash to blast away even the most stubborn exterior dirt build up.
The result? A clean, smooth surface that primer can properly cling to — ensuring better adhesion, longer-lasting paint, and a beautiful finish that holds up to our harsh tropical weather.
Light Carpentry
A great paint job doesn’t just come from a brush — it starts with solid surfaces. Our carpentry repairs make sure your home is structurally sound, paint-ready, and built to last — especially in Hawaii’s termite-prone, moisture-heavy environment.
Painting over damaged wood or structural flaws only delays future problems — and can quickly ruin your investment. Our minor carpentry work ensures a structurally sound paintable surface and long-lasting results.
Painter’s Plastic Coverings
A clean, crisp paint job starts long before the first brush stroke — and applying painter’s plastic is one of the most important steps we take to protect your home.
We carefully cover every window and door with durable painter’s plastic. This keeps your glass crystal clear and completely protected from overspray, drips, and dust — no cleanup headaches, no accidental paint spots.
By properly masking your home, we ensure that when it’s time to pull away tape around windows and trim, you’re left with razor-sharp, professional lines. No wobbly edges. No paint bleed. Just perfect definition.
We don’t stop at the walls. Our team covers your hardscapes, landscaping, cars, and outdoor furniture — so your driveway stays spotless, your plants unharmed, and your vehicle untouched. We treat your property with the same respect we’d give our own.
Applying The Primer
After the house is properly mildew / pressure washed and covered, next comes the primer application. Here we choose the appropriate 100% acrylic primer, depending upon the substrate (surface), or oil based primer (if it’s an older redwood or cedar wood home).
By choosing the appropriate primer, we ensure proper adhesion and that the finish coats cover better and have improved “hold out” (longer lasting sheen and color retention).
The Paint Application
After the job is 100% coated with primer, now is the time for the finish coat. We usually apply paint with a spray, allowing for an even overlapping consistency. We may also back roll the finish to further push it into the substrate.
One coat can be applied on some pre-painted / repainted surfaces, but we usually recommend two coats to get a few extra years, if not an extra decade out of your paint job!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it really necessary to go through all the trouble of prep work before painting?
Yes, it is really necessary!
Without prep work, a paint job can last at little as two or three years. Painting over mildew will make your paint job not last and ultimately fail.
-
Can I do anything as the home owner to prepare for the job?
Yes, removing valuables from property that might interfere with painting your home is a must. Things that can’t be moved will need to be secured and covered (any lighting, hardscaping, landscaping etc).
-
Does the homeowner / resident need to be gone when painters are performing the work?
Nope! It’s no problem at all for the home owner to be at home while painting work is underway (with the exception of interior painting). We can work around your schedule in the home if timing on paint job and fumes in ambient air may enter the home.
