Protecting Plants as a Painting Contractor in Long Beach CA

Protecting Your Plants

When it comes to exterior painting, we’re careful to protect your plants and surrounding gardens—a responsibility I’m especially proud of. You can trust that you’ll never come home to a painter rinsing brushes in your rose garden.

Before beginning any outdoor job, we'll always ask where you’d prefer us to clean up; if there's not a suitable spot, we’ll simply take our equipment with us and clean them off site.

Repairing wood by Patrick Miller Painting in Long Beach CA

Wood Replacement & Repair

In many cases, damaged wood can be repaired rather than fully replaced. Whether the issue is caused by termites, dry rot, or general wear, we take pride in restoring wood to a solid, long-lasting condition. Repairs like these require skill and craftsmanship, and it’s work we truly enjoy.

There are situations where patching is a better option than replacement. For larger damaged areas, we may use Abatron Wood Epoxy or bondo, while smaller spots can often be restored with wood filler. The main factor in choosing patch vs. replacement is cost efficiency. If replacing a small section of wood would require removing a larger portion of your home, patching often makes far more sense.

If you have wood that needs attention, give us a call. We’ll inspect the damage and recommend the best solution—whether that’s repairing, patching, or replacing—to ensure your home looks great and stays protected.

Color Samples being applied by Patrick Miller Painting in Long Beach CA

Applying Color Samples

Testing paint color samples is an essential step for any interior or exterior painting project in Long Beach. A small paint chip often looks very different once it’s applied to your home, especially with local lighting conditions and surface textures.

Applying samples directly to your stucco, siding, or trim lets you see how the color changes throughout the day. This simple step helps you avoid costly mistakes and ensures you’ll love the final results.

When painting your Long Beach home, choosing the right color is just as important as quality workmanship. Testing samples gives you confidence and guarantees a finish that matches your vision.

Quality Finish Paints Matter

Using high-quality finish paints just makes sense. After investing so much time in preparation, why risk compromising the entire project by choosing inexpensive, low-quality products? The finish coat is what protects your home and showcases all the detailed prep work beneath it.

That’s why we proudly use Benjamin Moore paints. Their superior coverage, durability, and long-lasting color ensure a beautiful finish that truly stands out.

When painting a house in Long Beach CA, prep work is a key factor on insuring long lasting results

Prep Work: The Foundation of a Quality Paint Job

In most cases, about 70% of a professional paint job is prep work. This includes washing, sanding, caulking, patching, and priming. The remaining 30% is applying the finish coat. Proper preparation is what ensures a long-lasting, great-looking result.

We also aim to keep patching to a minimum. Patchwork is often the first area to fail because wood naturally expands when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries. By reducing unnecessary patching, we help improve the durability and longevity of your paint job.
