Courthouse Exterior Painting, Santa Barbara

Comprehensive exterior repainting of the historic Santa Barbara Courthouse, completed through a carefully planned five-phase, five-year process. The project included the preparation and coating of all architectural elements—wood windows and doors, ornamental corbels, plaster walls and soffits, and extensive wrought iron details.

As part of the restoration, damaged historical plaster top set was meticulously repaired using traditional lime, cement, and sand mixtures to match the original texture and composition of the 1929 construction. All surfaces were prepared to historic preservation standards, ensuring both aesthetic continuity and long-term protection. Finishes were applied using high-performance, breathable coating systems specifically designed for coastal environments, maintaining the courthouse’s historic integrity while enhancing its durability for decades to come.
