Interior Painting in Hillsborough, CA

Painting under Hillsborough's strict work-hour rules

Hillsborough limits construction activity and deliveries to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with Saturday noise capped at 70 decibels outside the property plane. Police enforce the noise ordinance down to radios, truck beepers, loud talking and workers congregating before 8 a.m. Painting is quiet work, but those rules still set the day's shape.

We arrive at 8, not before, and the radio stays in the truck. A workday that ends at 5 means coats get planned so each can dry overnight. A photo from each doorway lets us price the job; patching, caulking and priming come first, then two coats cut in by hand. One room is finished before the next is opened up.

Worth knowing about Hillsborough

The Town says many Hillsborough properties and homes lie within the Wildland Urban Interface, and it maps North, South and West WUI fire zones.
Hillsborough incorporated in 1910 largely so estate owners could keep a rural setting; estates such as Uplands were subdivided between 1910 and 1938, and the half-acre minimum lot dates to 1953.
The 1970s added more of Hillsborough's 3,821 homes than any other decade (24.5%); overall 73.6% predate 1980, and 11.4% date to 1939 or earlier.

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

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

Do you work in Hillsborough?

Yes. Hillsborough is about 5 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 9 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from North Hillsborough to South Hillsborough.

Who issues permits in Hillsborough?

The Town of Hillsborough Building & Planning 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 Hillsborough?

Construction work and deliveries are allowed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with no noise-producing work on Sundays or Town holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Do you repair the walls before painting?

Always. Holes, cracks, dents and loose tape get fixed and primed first. It's in the estimate, not a surprise at the end.
