At Cal Painting and Plastering, we recently completed a full exterior renovation for a family home in Almaden that truly highlights the difference between simply repainting and fully upgrading a home’s exterior.

This beautiful house was over 50 years old and still had its original wood siding. Over the years, the homeowners had painted the exterior multiple times in an effort to maintain its appearance. Unfortunately, due to age and deterioration, another coat of paint just wasn’t going to deliver the clean, modern look they were hoping for.

Starting from the Ground Up

After a thorough inspection, we worked with the homeowners to create a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix. Our team removed all existing wood siding, allowing us to address the structure properly and bring the home up to modern standards.

From there, we:

• Installed all-new insulation for improved energy efficiency

• Added new waterproofing to protect the home from moisture and weather damage

• Installed brand-new siding to create a solid, durable foundation

Smooth Acrylic Stucco Finish

Once the prep work was complete, we fully re-plastered the home with a smooth acrylic stucco finish. This finish not only provides superior durability and flexibility, but also delivers a clean, contemporary look. We carefully matched the previous color scheme, giving the homeowners a familiar aesthetic with a completely upgraded exterior.

Decorative Foam Trim for a Finished Look

To elevate the design even further, we installed decorative foam trim around:

• All windows

• All doors

• The garage door

This added architectural detail gave the home a polished, high-end appearance and significantly enhanced its curb appeal.

The Result

The final result is a fully refreshed, modern exterior that looks brand new while still respecting the home’s original style. More importantly, this family now has a home exterior that is built to last, protected from the elements, and far more energy-efficient.

If your home is older and repainting no longer delivers the results you want, Cal Painting and Plastering specializes in complete exterior transformations that go beyond paint.
