Painting, drywall and remodeling in Manhattan Beach
Coastal painting, flooring and remodeling for Manhattan Beach homes.
What building in Manhattan Beach actually involves
Manhattan Beach is small lots and tall houses – three stories on a 30-foot-wide lot is normal here. That geometry changes how a job runs: stairwells to paint at full height, materials carried up rather than wheeled in, and almost no on-site storage or staging space to work with.
We plan Manhattan Beach jobs around that constraint, staging material deliveries in phases rather than dropping everything on day one. Combined with salt air on anything facing the water, it is a market that punishes contractors who quote it like an inland job.
Street parking permits and narrow walk-streets affect access on much of the Sand Section and Hill Section. We sort permits and crew parking before the first day rather than losing hours to it.
All services
Everything we do in Manhattan Beach
Eight services under one contract, so a job that touches three of them still runs on one schedule.
Interior Painting
Three-storey houses mean tall stairwells and double-height rooms. We use a stair platform there, not a ladder on the treads, and finish each stairwell in one pass so there is no line halfway up.
from $3.25 / sq ft
Exterior Painting
Salt air near the Strand corrodes railings and fasteners and chalks paint on the west side. Rust is treated and metal primed before topcoats, with coatings specified for marine exposure within a few blocks of the water.
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
Many houses here have roof decks rather than plain flat roofs. A surface people walk on needs a walkable waterproof coating system, not a basic reflective roof coating, and we specify for how the surface is used.
from $4.25 / sq ft
Bathroom Remodel
With bathrooms stacked above one another, a leak on the top floor ends up two ceilings down. Every shower gets a full membrane and a flood test before tile, which matters more here than in a single-storey house.
from $15,000
Kitchen Remodel
Full kitchen remodels under one contract – demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash and appliances – with cabinets ordered before demo so the room is never sitting gutted.
from $32,000
Flooring
Wide-plank hardwood across three floors, carried up by hand. Near the sand the ground-floor slab is moisture tested and grit is kept off the boards during installation, because sand under a finish coat shows.
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 Manhattan Beach
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
Walk streets have no vehicle access at the front, so everything comes in from the alley or is carried. We see the alley access before quoting, arrange whatever parking permits the city requires for work vehicles, and deliver in phases instead of stacking a week of material on a lot with no room for it.
