Local painting context

What do Lakeside homes need from a paint job?

East County heat is the harshest in the county — 100–115°F for weeks on end. Exterior paint that's rated for 10 years on the coast lasts 6 in El Cajon without a real UV-resistant system. Interior drywall dries fast and mud flash-cracks in low humidity. We adjust pace and spec to match the zone.
