Painting Mountain View's Monta Loma and 1970s homes

Monta Loma went up from roughly 1954 to 1957 in three tracts, including an Eichler tract of more than 200 homes, and the 1970s were the city's busiest building decade. About 60.1% of housing units predate 1980, and on homes built before 1978 federal rules govern paid scraping and sanding of old paint.

The NOAA station at Moffett Federal Airfield averages 48.1 days a year at 80F or more and only 13.4 inches of normal precipitation, so the painting season is long. Construction is allowed 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays; Saturday work needs written approval from the Chief Building Official. Nearly half the city's housing is in buildings of five or more units, where an HOA or owner may need to approve the color.

Worth knowing about Mountain View

  • The NOAA station at Moffett Federal Airfield averages a summer high of 76.6°F, a winter low of 43.0°F and 48.1 days a year at 80°F or more.

  • Monta Loma went up from roughly 1954 to 1957 in three tracts, including an Eichler tract of 200-plus homes on the site of a small former airport.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Value for money and flexible to work with. Would definitely hire them again, for all jobs around the house.

I hired Junior and his team to install Govee Pro outdoor lights with tracks along my roofline, which has a lot of tricky angles and turns. They did an incredible job — everything looks clean, professional, and aligned. Junior showed up on time, worked efficiently, and even helped with a few extra repairs around the house. I’m thrilled with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any home improvement or maintenance work.

Exterior paint in Mountain View: questions

Do you work in Mountain View?

Yes. Mountain View is about 27 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 36 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Old Mountain View to Cuernavaca.

Who issues permits in Mountain View?

The City of Mountain View Community Development Department, Building Division. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Mountain View?

Construction, including material deliveries, is allowed 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays; Saturday work needs prior written approval from the Chief Building Official, and Sundays and holidays are off limits. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Do you prep the outside before painting?

Always. Washing, scraping loose paint, fixing cracks and soft trim, caulking and priming bare spots come before the first coat, and they're in the estimate.
