Painting, drywall and remodeling in Westminster
Bathrooms, kitchens and lead-safe painting for Westminster's 1950s and 60s homes and Little Saigon streets.
What building in Westminster actually involves
Westminster is older than most of the suburbs around it. It began as a Presbyterian colony in 1870, Barber City was subdivided in the 1920s, and much of today's housing went up in the post-war decades that followed.
Those houses now hold more people than they were planned for. Westminster's average household is larger than Orange County's, which puts bathrooms and kitchens sized for a mid-century family under daily pressure. Remodels here are usually about capacity – a bathroom that has to serve a full household, a kitchen that has to work for more than one cook – rather than about finishes alone.
Little Saigon, the district the state named in 1988 between Westminster Boulevard, Bolsa Avenue, Magnolia Street and Euclid Street, is the best-known part of the city, but the housing around it is the same mid-century tract stock found across Westminster, and it ages the same way.
Westminster also has seventeen mobile home parks with close to 2,900 spaces – a real share of the city's housing. Parks set their own rules and manufactured homes use different materials, so we confirm at the walkthrough which of our trades fit before quoting.
All services
Everything we do in Westminster
Eight services under one contract, so a job that touches three of them still runs on one schedule.
Interior Painting
Pre-1970 doors and trim often carry many coats of old paint. Surfaces are tested before any sanding, deglossed rather than dry-sanded where lead is possible, and hallways and kitchens get scrubbable finishes that stand up to heavy traffic.
from $3.25 / sq ft
Exterior Painting
Stucco on 1950s and 60s houses has usually been patched and repainted several times. Old patches are feathered to the surrounding texture, hairline cracks filled with an elastomeric filler, and any bare wood on fascia and eaves primed before the topcoat.
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
A hall bath shared by a large household needs hard-wearing materials: porcelain tile, a properly vented fan on a timer and fixtures with parts that are easy to replace. Any failing old supply or drain line found behind the wall is shown to you and priced separately, not tiled over.
from $15,000
Kitchen Remodel
Kitchens from the 1950s and 60s were wired for a fraction of today's appliances. A remodel almost always adds dedicated circuits, permitted through the Building Division, and any wall being opened is checked for load before the layout is fixed.
from $32,000
Flooring
Older homes may still have sheet vinyl or small-format vinyl tile, which can contain asbestos; those are tested before they are lifted. New floating floors go over a slab that has been moisture-tested and leveled.
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
Also working across the Central Orange County
FAQ
Working with us in Westminster
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
The City of Westminster's Building Division, with the Planning Division reviewing first when a project changes a building's layout or use – a garage conversion, for example. A kitchen or bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, wiring or walls needs a permit; painting generally does not. We prepare the drawings, submit them and book the inspections.
