A Home Project in Redwood City, CA

CertaPro Painters® of San Mateo, CA was asked to assist with a residential project in September 2020. The stucco home was in good shape, aside from the wood siding that was predominantly located on the gables and detached garage. The caulked tongue and groove sections were in bad shape, requiring a Mad Dog primer to help extend its life.

The arbor in front of the home was varnished but was beginning to peel due to sun exposure. It had to be sanded down to bare wood before applying a new semitransparent stain. The new stain added a brand new look to the wood sections and added protection for years to come.

The white fence also received some attention due to its substandard conditions. The pickets were in poor shape with cracking paint and large amounts of dirt accumulation, especially at the base.
