Local painting context

What do Tecate homes need from a paint job?

Mountain communities — Julian, Alpine, Ramona, Pine Valley, Campo — see freeze-thaw cycles that most San Diego paint systems aren't designed for. Exterior cracks expand in winter and again in summer heat. Elastomeric becomes essential on stucco, and we time exterior work to stable 3-day dry windows.
