House painting in Fallbrook
North County San Diego · Unincorporated community · ~25 min
Avocado country. Fallbrook is unincorporated San Diego County, about 32,000 people spread thin across grove land northeast of Oceanside, and it runs on its own rhythm. Twenty-five minutes from the shop, but the last ten are two-lane road.

Housing stock
What these houses are made of
Nothing about a Fallbrook job resembles a tract job. Houses sit on one to five acres at the end of a long driveway, usually single-story ranch or 1980s and 1990s custom, with board-and-batten or horizontal wood siding as often as stucco. Then there is everything else on the property: a barn, a well house, a pump shed, a workshop, several hundred feet of wood or pipe fencing, and a propane tank that has to be worked around rather than painted.
Square footage runs high and the prep runs long because wood on a rural property gets no shade and no washing. Water comes off a well, so washdown volume matters and has to be planned with the owner. On the upside there is no neighbor twenty feet away, no HOA telling you what color, and room to actually stage the job.
