What Our Customers Say
Rated 5.0 out of 5 based on 125+ reviews.
"Our coastal home was in desperate need of a professional paint job after years of ocean weather turned our sage green stucco into a dull "Alcatraz Gray." Robert expertly scoped out the property, identified hidden water damage on the roof and fascia, and provided a very fair bid.What sets this full-service company apart is that they do..."
Michael Cody

"Was extremely satisfied and glad I chose Sharp’s Painting to upgrade my house exterior. Got rid of my old heavy Spanish style stucco and installed a standard stucco finish throughout. Also replaced some rotted wood beams and stucco arches to make it look like a brand new home to us."
Rick Fleming

"Sharp’s Painting has been working on our project in Newport Beach for the last four weeks, and the quality of their work has been exceptional. The entire crew is professional, respectful, and incredibly detail-oriented. The owner is a great communicator and thoughtfully lays out the progression of activities with care."

Exterior painting for Seal Beach cottages
Seal Beach is a small town with old housing stock, and Old Town is the heart of it. Those cottages sit on narrow lots a few blocks off the sand, with wood siding, wood window trim, porch rails and shingle detail that take salt spray straight off the water. Up on The Hill and out through College Park East the homes are newer and mostly stucco. Robert Sharp has painted on this coast for 27 years and walks each house himself, so the plan is built around what your house is actually made of.
Wood gives out before the stucco does
This close to the beach, wood is where a paint job fails first. Window sills hold damp, fascia ends wick water up the grain, and porch rails and thresholds go soft where they meet a deck. Stucco chalks and cracks but usually holds longer. That is why a Seal Beach exterior is priced around the wood as much as the walls, and why Robert points out every soft board at the walkthrough before you see a number rather than finding it once the crew is already there.
Pressure washing and crack repair before any color
Salt film, sand and mildew sit on a coastal wall whether you can see them or not, and paint does not stick to any of them. Every exterior starts with a pressure wash. After that the crew scrapes failing paint back to a sound edge, patches the stucco, caulks the joints and primes what is bare. The finish is sprayed and back rolled so it is worked down into the surface instead of bridging over it. Skip the wash and the new coat leaves with the old one.
How a Seal Beach job runs day to day
Work runs Monday through Saturday, and Robert is on the property while it happens rather than checking in by phone. You get a schedule update in the morning and another at the end of the day, so you always know which elevation is being worked and what comes next. The site gets cleaned before the crew leaves, which matters more than usual on a street where the lots sit close together and there is nowhere to spread out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Seal Beach residents about our services.
Yes. Seal Beach is part of the coastal Orange County area Sharp's Painting covers from Huntington Beach. We handle interior and exterior repaints, kitchen cabinets, stucco and trim, and the owner is on the job himself rather than sending a crew you have never met.
The estimate is free and there is no obligation. Robert walks the property with you, looks at what the surfaces actually need, and gives you a written price. You also get a free color consultation and up to 10 paint samples brushed on your own walls so you can see the color in your own light before anything is ordered.
Yes. Sharp's Painting is a California licensed painting and decorating contractor, CSLB C-33 license 1048840, and is bonded and insured.
You pay nothing until the work is finished and you are happy with it. There is no deposit up front and no payment schedule to manage while the job runs.
Salt air, strong sun and the marine layer break paint down and open up stucco, so a lasting job is mostly prep. We pressure wash, scrape and sand, replace rotted wood and fascia, patch stucco cracks, then caulk and prime before any finish goes on. Exteriors are sprayed and back rolled so the paint is worked into the surface for full, even coverage.
A full repaint is the usual scope on an exterior. That is the wash, the scraping and sanding, wood and fascia replacement, stucco crack repair, caulking and priming, then body, trim, doors and garage. Smaller pieces are fine too, like a front door, a fence or a deck.
Masking, and a lot of it. Seal Beach lots sit close together and the onshore wind picks up in the afternoon, so windows, plants, hardscape, fixtures and anything on the property line get covered before a sprayer is opened. Robert is on site while that masking goes up. Trim and doors sitting near a boundary often get brushed instead of sprayed.
Yes. Rotted sills, fascia, trim and rails get replaced rather than filled and painted over, because paint over soft wood buys you about one season. Every replacement board and every fresh cut end gets primed before the finish coat, since the end grain is where water gets back in first.
Most homes run one to two weeks depending on size, prep and how much wood needs replacing. Robert lays out the schedule before the crew starts and gives you an update at the start and end of each day, so if something changes you hear it the day it happens rather than at the end.
Robert uses premium exterior paint rated for coastal sun and salt air. The bigger factor is what sits underneath it. A good coating over an unwashed, unprimed wall still fails, so the wash, the wood work and the primer are where the durability actually comes from.
