If it has been a while since you last painted, chances are, your home is in need of a new paint job. Homeowners face common issues, such as cracking in the stucco, discoloration, peeling, flaking, and chipping of the outer layer. If you live in an area such as Daly City, San Francisco, Marin County, Oakland, or anywhere else in the Bay Area, your home deals with weathering. Throughout the year, your home faces different extremes of weathering. The Bay Area is a place where houses can experience a huge range of environmental conditions. Over time, this can wear down even the sturdiest of houses, causing aesthetic losses which make the house appear aged.

"Josh was referred to me to paint the interior of my kitchen and living room. I was immediately surprised by his professionalism. He was always prompt, professional, very enjoyable to work with and did a wonderful job. Josh was always concerned that I was happy and he was always accommodating. I was so impressed with his work that I have accelerated, the time schedule, for a large painting job I have planned. I look forward to using his firm again and recommending him to others. I am very pleased with his work. Thank you Josh!!"
Tony showed up early and got right to work! He was courteous, professional, efficient and tidy. I will recommend Kelly Borthers Painting to friends and family!

My husband and I want to buy an old house when we stop renting, so these tips will definitely be coming in handy! Krista February 25, 2015
When painting trim adjoining siding, use painter’s tape to mask the siding. Remove the tape as soon as the paint sets-up.
Before purchasing, hold the brush as you would when painting. Make sure it feels comfortable to grip. Fan the bristles, checking for gaps—bristles should fan evenly. “Bounce” the tip of the brush to test for springiness. Check the bristles of your brush for proper “flagging” (like split ends in hair) and consistent bristles. ©Don Vandervort, HomeTips
For metal siding, use medium-grade sandpaper on a sanding block. Sand any chipped or peeling paint until the surface is smooth. Remove any chalking or dust with a clean rag.
Josh, some great work on the renovation, it’s come up really nicely! It’s good to see you stressing the importance of not taking short cuts when it comes to prepping and removing wallpaper. It definitely does lead to more problems down the road when done incorrectly. However there is a caveat on that. If the wallpaper is in good condition and you have primed it properly, you can get away with painting over wallpaper. On a few jobs where the client has been on a tight budget, we have used an oil based primer to really seal the adhesive and keep then moisture from the paint away. Has worked well and we haven’t got any call backs. But I’d still agree with you and always push for stripping back wallpaper where possible. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure as the saying goes. Also, would love to see how your painted popcorn ceilings came up. We call it ‘vermiculite’. Its quite old school and we come across it in school jobs and old buildings occasionally. Jake Beals May 09, 2020
Tony is a magician with a paintbrush and a roller. I bought the Painter For A Day promotion back in the Fall and finally scheduled my day for mid-April (my own doing). Tony transformed my daughter’s bright blue room into a serene, whitish-blue getaway. With tall ceilings and some tricky corners, Tony did it by himself all in less than 8 hours. I highly recommend Kelly Brothers Painting as they do great work and also have a great company culture of giving back to employees and the community. I am looking forward to having them back to paint the rest of my house both inside and out!
I got several quotes from painters in the area to paint my house. One guy was almost a no show to the estimate (only came hours late after I called him) and took weeks to provide me with a quote, another guy was just too new and had no reviews or portfolio. Although House Painting Inc was more expensive than the others, I went with them because of the extensive information I was given at the estimate that he showed up to on time. I was shown lots of hand written reviews, before and after photos, current license and insurance. He took the time to go over every little spot of my house and provided me with a quote within a day.
When it comes to interior and exterior painting jobs, it’s important to hire a professional contractor. A hired painter does a thorough inspection of your property, pre-project cleaning and preparations, and performs any repairs at an additional cost. When it comes to painting indoors, they must tape off adjacent surfaces and cover any furniture or valuable items. The process for painting interiors versus exteriors isn’t entirely different, but they require different materials. Most companies specialize in both interior and exterior painting jobs though some only do one or the other.
Before we get started, we’ll offer a detailed estimate and contract that lay out materials, labor costs, time frames for completion, and everything else you need to understand what the project will entail. Since every property is unique, all of our estimates are customized to ensure that they accurately and completely outline the proposed services and total costs.
