What's included
A full exterior, done properly
Every exterior repaint includes the prep work most painters skip — because on the coast, prep is the paint job.
- Pressure washing & surface prepWe wash off salt, chalk and mildew, then scrape and sand every loose or failing area before a drop of paint opens.
- Stucco repair & crack fillingHairline and settlement cracks are patched and elastomeric-patched where needed, then textured to blend with your existing stucco.
- Wood, fascia & trim repair prepPeeling eaves, fascia and trim are scraped to sound wood, primed with bonding primer and sealed against moisture.
- Premium coastal coatingsHigh-build, UV- and salt-resistant exterior paints and elastomeric systems spec'd for homes within the marine layer.
- Doors, shutters & accentsFront doors, garage doors, shutters and trim detailed in — the pieces that make a repaint look finished.
- Full masking & cleanupWindows, hardscape, roofs and landscaping masked and protected; the site is left cleaner than we found it.

Why Cano for exteriors
Paint fails early on the coast for predictable reasons
Salt air creeps under loose paint and rusts out nail heads and flashing. The marine layer keeps walls damp into the morning, so paint applied to a wet or chalky surface lets go within a couple of seasons. And stucco that isn't crack-bridged telegraphs every hairline right through a fresh coat.
Our exterior process is built around those facts: surfaces washed and dried, cracks filled and textured, bare wood and stucco spot-primed, and coatings chosen for salt and UV exposure — not whatever was on sale. It's slower. It's also why our exteriors in Dana Point, San Clemente and across South Orange County still look sharp years later.
Planning a color change? We'll help you test colors in real light and coordinate with your HOA's approved palette where one applies.
