Chalk paint — Berkeley, CA

What affects the price
When you get a quote for exterior painting, the total depends on a few practical things. The size and height of your home are the biggest factors—a multi-story house takes more time and safety equipment. The current condition of your siding also matters; if there is significant peeling, wood rot, or mold, that area needs extra prep work before a brush ever touches it. Choosing high-end paint products or changing your color scheme entirely can also shift the final bill. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Chalk paint is a decorative, matte-finish paint usually applied to furniture rather than home exteriors. It creates a vintage or distressed look and adheres to most surfaces without heavy sanding. While popular for DIY home decor, it is not suitable for siding or trim exposed to rain. If you are looking to revitalize your home's curb appeal, we focus on durable exterior products instead. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer offers the best conditions for drying, but extreme heat can be an issue. If it’s too hot, paint might dry too quickly, which keeps it from bonding to the surface. We often schedule painting for earlier in the day to avoid the peak afternoon sun and keep the finish looking smooth.
