Painting & sealing
Painting & sealing in Santa Teresa
Sun, salt and humidity are brutal on paint and wood. Exterior walls need a mold wash before painting or the new coat peels within a season; decks need oil every 6–12 months; metal needs rust converter, not just paint. We do it the way that lasts on the coast.
What we do
- Interior rooms
- Exterior walls with mold wash and sealer
- Deck and wood oiling
- Rust treatment on railings, gates and grills
Labor priced per room or per m². Paint and materials at cost, and we recommend products made for coastal climates.
