Exterior painting in Daly City

Painting Daly City houses that live in the fog

The Draft EIR for the city's General Plan update describes a high incidence of cool, foggy summer weather and higher wind speeds along the western coast. The nearest NOAA station, San Francisco Oceanside, averages a summer high of just 62.1F. Paint over a damp wall doesn't bond well, so we wait for the surface to dry before starting and wrap up before the evening fog comes back in.

Westlake's split-level houses date to the early 1950s, and in St. Francis Heights, Serramonte and Southern Hills the typical house is two stories over a two-car garage. Tall stucco fronts like those mean ladder work planned around the driveway. If the stucco itself needs replacing, not just paint, Daly City issues a permit for that, and the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

Worth knowing about Daly City

• SFO's Second Chance Initiative replaces windows and doors with acoustically rated units in eligible homes never treated before; the Repair or Replacement Initiative covers earlier program units that no longer work.
• Coastal ocean upwelling and northwest winds give Daly City a high incidence of cool, foggy summer weather, and wind speeds run higher along the western coast.
• The Safety Element rates ground-shaking potential high because most of the city sits on weak to moderately consolidated, loose to firm sands.
