Painting, drywall and remodeling in Tustin
Painting, drywall and remodels across Old Town Tustin and the newer Legacy tracts.
What building in Tustin actually involves
Tustin splits cleanly in two. Old Town is pre-war and 1940s housing on plaster with mature trees over it – shade, damp on the north side, and paint that fails early where the canopy never lets a wall dry out. The Legacy side, built on the former air base land, is new construction with drywall, thin builder paint and warranties still running.
On the older side we treat the damp first: cut back the growth that touches the wall, let it dry, then prime for the substrate. On the newer side we usually recommend leaving anything still under builder warranty alone and spending the money on what the builder finished thinnest, which is almost always the interior paint.
Newer Tustin tracts sit under association rules for exterior color, the same as Irvine. Old Town has no such palette, but its houses predate 1978, so disturbing old coatings there falls under the federal renovation rules for lead and is worked accordingly.
All services
Everything we do in Tustin
Eight services under one contract, so a job that touches three of them still runs on one schedule.
Interior Painting
Old Town houses get lead-safe preparation and attention to damp north walls. Legacy and Tustin Ranch homes get the second proper coat the thin builder finish never had.
from $3.25 / sq ft
Exterior Painting
Under Old Town's mature trees, north walls stay damp and grow mildew; those are cleaned, cut back and dried before priming. In the association tracts, colors come off the HOA's approved sheet.
from $2.75 / sq ft
Drywall & Plastering
Plaster repair in Old Town. In newer homes, nail pops and hairline cracks at joints appear as the framing dries out; we reset and refinish them once the builder's warranty is no longer the better route.
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
Tustin Ranch homes from the late 1980s and 90s are due their first bathroom remodel. Most keep the layout and swap tub, tile and vanity for a properly waterproofed shower.
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
Newer Legacy homes often have builder carpet and thin laminate. They are replaced with engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl over the existing slab, leveled first where it needs it.
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 Tustin
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
Old Town is covered by the city's historic preservation rules, and exterior changes to older houses there can need design review. Most of those houses also predate 1978, so disturbing painted surfaces falls under the federal lead renovation rules, which we work to as an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm. Interior finishing is generally outside design review.
