Our Exterior Painting Process
Proper preparation is the foundation of a lasting exterior paint job. Our process begins with a thorough power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. We then scrape and sand all peeling areas, fill cracks and holes with premium exterior-grade filler, caulk gaps around windows and doors, and prime bare surfaces. This meticulous prep work ensures the paint adheres properly and provides maximum protection against the elements.
We use only top-tier exterior paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Dunn-Edwards that are specifically formulated for Southern California's climate. These UV-resistant, fade-resistant, and mildew-resistant paints maintain their rich color and protective properties even under intense Orange County sun. We apply multiple coats as needed to achieve complete, even coverage and a flawless finish.

How much does it cost to paint a house exterior in Orange County?
Exterior painting runs $3 to $4.50 per square foot, all-in, for a single-storey stucco home in south Orange County with no major repairs needed. A two-storey home is typically 15 to 25 percent more, because the access and staging take real extra labor. Coastal homes, and any job specifying an elastomeric coating, run 20 to 30 percent above the base rate depending on how much preparation the surface needs and which product the job calls for. What moves the number: stucco versus siding, how much cracking or repair work the surface needs first, sun and salt-air exposure, the number of storeys, and whether an HOA has color requirements to work within. Paint, prep materials, masking and labor are all inside that figure, including the wash and the caulking. Estimates are free, small jobs start at $300 to $500, and everything is backed by a two-year workmanship warranty.
How does Onyx GC do the work?
Exterior work starts with a wash — salt film, chalking and dirt have to come off before anything else, or the new coating sits on top of them. Then the repairs: cracked stucco cut out and patched, failed caulk raked and replaced, bare spots primed. Windows, doors, lights and plants get covered and masked, and anything we are not painting gets protected. Body coats are sprayed and back-rolled where the surface needs it, trim is cut in by hand, and we use Sherwin-Williams throughout. We work around the sun rather than through it, because a coating that flashes off too fast on a hot wall will not last. At the end of each day the site is tidied, and at completion we walk the exterior with you.
