Newport Beach interior and exterior painting

Newport covers more ground than people expect: the peninsula, Balboa Island, Corona del Mar, the Back Bay, Eastbluff, Big Canyon and Newport Coast up on the ridge, all one city. It is the furthest regular stop on the list at about an hour, and the jobs run from a nine-hundred-square-foot island cottage to a ridge-top estate.

Housing stock

What these houses are made of

On Balboa Island and the peninsula the houses sit on lots barely wider than the building, with a few feet to the neighbor and an alley behind. A lot of them are 1920s to 1940s cottages that have been added to repeatedly, wood siding and trim, some with dock frontage. Corona del Mar has turned over heavily into smooth-stucco and metal contemporary rebuilds where any patch has to disappear completely. Eastbluff and Dover Shores are 1960s and 1970s.

Newport Coast, annexed into the city in the early 2000s, is 1990s and 2000s Mediterranean on ridgelines. Bay and ocean frontage means constant salt, and the docks, seawalls, rails and gates are steel and aluminum that need proper metal prep, not a coat of house paint. Access on the island and the peninsula is the other constraint: no driveway, no yard, and a narrow alley to work from.

Prep is the part that decides how long the job lasts: washing, scraping, rebuilding caulk joints, then a full coat of primer before the two coats of color.Licensed stock photograph, used to show the finish. Not a photograph of a job AJ Paint completed.
