Painting Orange homes

Orange's older housing stock calls for careful prep — plaster repair, wood window restoration, scraping and priming — before interior or exterior finish coats go on.

Local tips for Orange

Older housing stock means careful prep: plaster repair, wood window work, scraping and priming before any finish coat.
Check for loose, flaking exterior paint by hand before scheduling — that decides how much prep the estimate includes.
Prime bare wood the same day you expose it so it doesn't take on moisture overnight.
