Painting, drywall and remodeling in Santa Ana
Plaster repair, painting and flooring for Santa Ana's historic districts and the streets around them.
What building in Santa Ana actually involves
Santa Ana holds some of the oldest intact housing in Orange County. Floral Park and French Park are full of 1920s and 30s Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish homes with original plaster, wood windows and trim profiles that no longer exist off the shelf. Work on those houses is repair work, not replacement work.
We patch plaster with plaster, match trim by milling to the existing profile where a run has rotted, and leave the parts that are still sound alone. Ripping out original woodwork because it is faster to replace than to repair is how these houses lose the thing that makes them worth what they are worth.
Homes in the historic districts sit under design review, which affects exterior color and material changes. We work to what the district allows rather than presenting you with a finished wall that has to come off again.
All services
Everything we do in Santa Ana
Eight services under one contract, so a job that touches three of them still runs on one schedule.
Interior Painting
Original trim in these houses is often stained wood or old enamel. Painted trim is prepared under lead-safe rules; unpainted woodwork is protected and left alone.
from $3.25 / sq ft
Exterior Painting
Wood windows, siding and trim in the historic districts are repaired and repainted rather than replaced. Color and material changes are checked against what the district allows before we quote.
from $2.75 / sq ft
Drywall & Plastering
Plaster walls in Floral Park and French Park are repaired in plaster: loose areas re-attached to the lath, cracks cut out and filled, then skimmed to match the original surface.
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
Period bathrooms with original tile are worth assessing before demolition. Sound tile can be kept and the room rebuilt around it; failed tile is replaced in a style that suits the 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
Many older Santa Ana homes still have oak floors, often hidden under carpet or old sheet flooring. Old sheet goods and tile are tested for asbestos before lifting, then the wood beneath is refinished.
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 Santa Ana
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
Homes in Santa Ana's historic districts and on the city's historic register are reviewed for exterior changes, which can cover windows, siding and materials. Interior work is generally outside that review. We check your address before quoting and plan any review time into the schedule.
