Local painting context

What do Carlsbad homes need from a paint job?

Coastal San Diego homes fight salt-laden fog, UV, and marine-layer moisture. Paint fades fast on south and west walls, stucco wicks efflorescence, and wood trim goes gray without protection. We spec salt-resistant acrylic and elastomeric systems for exteriors, mildew-resistant interior paint for kitchens and baths, and expect to do coastal repaints every 7–9 years instead of the 10–12 you'd get inland.
