An exterior repaint of a small shingle cottage in Santa Barbara, with a colour change on the body. We pressure washed the house to remove dust, dirt and failing paint, then patched and primed the wood siding where the paint was failing on the south, east and west sides, sanding down ridges and spot priming with a multi-purpose primer. Damaged stucco was patched with stucco patch and damaged wood with filler.
The body then got two coats in the new colour and the eaves and fascia, doors, windows, wood trim and handrail were painted in the same off-white, one coat.
