Painting, drywall and remodeling in Culver City
Interior painting, flooring and remodels for Culver City homes and duplexes.
What building in Culver City actually involves
Culver City housing is mostly 1930s and 40s Spanish and traditional bungalows, plus a solid layer of post-war duplexes. They are small homes on small lots with original hardwood under the carpet in a surprising number of cases – which is worth checking before anyone quotes you new flooring.
Refinishing original oak costs roughly half what installing new hardwood does and produces a better floor, because the boards are old-growth and thicker than anything sold today. We pull a corner of carpet and look before recommending anything.
The tech and studio buildout around Culver City has pushed values up sharply, and a lot of our work here is bringing 1940s interiors up to a standard that matches what the houses now trade for.

All services
Everything we do in Culver City
Eight services under one contract, so a job that touches three of them still runs on one schedule.
Interior Painting
Small bungalow rooms with original trim, arches and built-in cabinets. Paint is cut in by hand around the detail, with a hard-wearing enamel on the trim and built-ins that get handled every day.
from $3.25 / sq ft
Exterior Painting
Spanish bungalows with smooth stucco and wood windows. Stucco cracks are repaired, loose glazing on the wood sash is redone and bare wood primed before the color goes on.
from $2.75 / sq ft
Drywall & Plastering
From a doorknob hole to hanging and finishing a whole addition – hung, taped, three-coat finished, textured to match, and left ready for paint.
from $275
Flat Roof Coating
Seamless elastomeric coatings that stop leaks at the seams, cut the heat coming through your ceiling, and add years to the roof you already have – for a fraction of a tear-off.
from $4.25 / sq ft
Bathroom Remodel
Bungalow bathrooms are small and often have a window in the shower wall. That window is either flashed and waterproofed properly or replaced with one made for a wet area, because it is a classic leak point.
from $15,000
Kitchen Remodel
In a small bungalow kitchen every inch counts. Cabinetry is planned to the actual wall rather than to stock widths, and the fridge or range moves only where it clearly improves the layout.
from $32,000
Flooring
Original oak under the carpet is common in the 1930s and 40s bungalows. We look under a corner before quoting; refinishing it is usually the better floor and the smaller bill.
from $5.75 / sq ft
Fencing
New wood and vinyl fencing, repairs to leaning and rotted sections, and staining or painting that actually survives an LA summer.
from $45 / linear ft
FAQ
Working with us in Culver City
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
In a house built in the 1930s or 40s, quite often. Lift a corner of carpet inside a closet or at a floor vent and look for narrow strips of oak. If it is there and not badly damaged, sanding and refinishing gives you a solid floor that has already lasted for decades, at a lower cost than new hardwood.
