Exterior Residential Painting

Our Proven, Uncompromised Paint & Preparation Standards

We operate on a simple philosophy passed down through three decades of service: “You get what you pay for.”

This logic is especially true for an exterior paint job. Shoddy prep work or thinned-out products will fail within a few short seasons under the Arizona sun. When you review competitive bids, remember that price is directly tied to procedure. Martinez Custom Painting does things the right way, ensuring your investment pays off over the long haul.

Package Consistency, Never Thinned

Many contractors cut corners by watering down their materials to save on costs. We never thin our paint. We apply all premium architectural coatings at package consistency—exactly how the manufacturer engineered them to be used.

Two-Coat Guarantee

The number of coats applied directly impacts the lifespan of your paint job. While single-coat applications are prone to premature chalking and fade spots, our comprehensive 2-coat process offers maximum coverage, vibrant color retention, and years of extra durability.

Advanced Back-Rolling for Stucco

Tucson homes feature beautiful but highly porous stucco surfaces. Spraying alone often leaves microscopic pockets unprotected. When painting a stucco surface, we use a rigorous back-rolling process. This pushes the paint deep into the crevices of the masonry texture, sealing out moisture and locking down the finish.

Our Meticulous Residential Painting Process

A long-lasting paint coat requires a professionally cleaned and prepped surface. We follow a strict multi-step sequence on every property to achieve a flawless finish:

[1] Power Wash & Clean ➔ [2] Repair Substrates ➔ [3] Surface Masking ➔ [4] Primer & Coating

1. Comprehensive Eco-Friendly Power Washing: Time and desert weather erode existing paint surfaces, leaving behind chalky powder, dust, and grime. We thoroughly power-wash the entire exterior to provide a completely clean and dust free substrate.
2. Stucco and Fascia Repair: We never slap paint over damaged areas. Our expert team fixes masonry issues with specialized stucco repairs, addresses peeling wood with fascia and pop-out repairs, and takes care of issues like drywall patches before painting begins.
3. Property Masking and Protection: We respect your property. During our duties, we meticulously wrap, cover, and protect all adjacent surfaces that are not being painted—including landscaping, concrete walkways, patios, and light fixtures.
4. Flawless Application: Using specialized brushes, rollers, and spray equipment, we execute your repaint with precision. We can even help you pinpoint the perfect colors. Our clients frequently praise Pete’s design eye, noting that his custom color recommendations completely transform their homes.

How to Optimize Your Painting Budget

We prioritize helping our clients maximize value. If you are planning an exterior project, keep these cost-saving strategies in mind:

• Consolidate Your Home Projects: Staging a home with equipment, ladders, and crew setup requires significant labor. Homeowners sometimes make the mistake of painting a single room or trim line, only to call a contractor back a month later. Staging is a fixed cost—do it once. Bundling an exterior repaint with an interior project or a Tucson cabinet painting service saves considerable money.
• Leverage Off-Season Rates: You can take advantage of lower contractor rates by scheduling your residential project during regional “off-seasons”. Booking your exterior paint work outside of the peak spring rush is an excellent way to secure pristine craftsmanship at a discounted price.
