Painting, drywall and remodeling in San Marino
Premium interior finishing and remodeling for San Marino estates.
What building in San Marino actually involves
San Marino is large traditional and Colonial Revival housing on wide lots, held to a standard by both the city and the neighbors. Original plaster, hardwood floors worth refinishing rather than replacing, and substantial millwork are the norm, and the expectation is that work respects all of it.
The jobs here are typically longer and more detailed than elsewhere in the San Gabriel Valley: full interiors with enamel woodwork, hardwood sanded and refinished in place rather than torn out, bathrooms rebuilt to look like they were always there. It is slower work and we price it as such.
San Marino runs one of the more rigorous design review processes in the region for exterior work. We build that review timeline into the schedule up front instead of discovering it mid-project.
All services
Everything we do in San Marino
Eight services under one contract, so a job that touches three of them still runs on one schedule.
Interior Painting
Enamel woodwork, panelled rooms and plaster ceilings with cove and cornice detail. We sand between enamel coats on doors and trim and brush or spray to suit the original finish, never rolling over detail.
from $3.25 / sq ft
Exterior Painting
Exterior color and material changes are the part of a San Marino job most likely to need design review. We find out what your change requires before quoting, so the review sits in the schedule from day one.
from $2.75 / sq ft
Drywall & Plastering
Plaster ceilings in older San Marino houses crack along the lath lines and around ceiling medallions. We secure and fill them in plaster so the ceiling keeps its original flatness and crisp edges.
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
The aim is usually a bathroom that looks original to a 1920s or 30s house: period tile patterns, trim that matches the rest of the rooms, and new waterproofing hidden behind it all.
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
Oak floors here are usually refinished in place. Where a room was carpeted over or damaged, matched boards are laced in so the finished floor reads as one surface from room to room.
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 San Marino
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
San Marino reviews many exterior changes to houses, and the process can take a while. Interior painting, plaster repair, bathroom work that stays inside the house and floor refinishing generally fall outside it. For anything visible from outside, we find out what the city requires for that specific change before quoting and build the review time into the schedule.
