From estate-scale properties to smaller homes, we match paint systems to your exterior’s surfaces and exposure.
A large hillside property can have several hundred more linear feet of exterior surface than a standard home, and that changes almost everything about how an exterior paint job gets planned, from crew size and equipment to how long the work takes to complete. Stucco, wood siding, and stone often show up together on the same property, each needing a different primer and topcoat to hold up over time. As an exterior painting company working throughout Montecito, CA, R&R Painting and Wallpaper scopes every estimate around the property’s actual surface area and material mix rather than a flat per-square-foot rate.
Mature landscaping is common on larger Montecito, CA lots, and it adds a layer of planning most exterior jobs elsewhere don’t need to account for. Protecting established trees, hedges, and garden beds during scaffolding setup, pressure washing, and painting takes real coordination, and rushing it risks damage that costs more to fix than the paint job itself.

Our exterior painters handle home exterior painting on properties of every size across Montecito, from a single-story residence to a multi-structure hillside estate, with paint systems matched to each surface type.

Storefronts and office buildings along Coast Village Road and other commercial areas get the same attention to surface prep and material selection, scheduled around business hours.
Bigger properties often mean more surface variety on one job, stucco walls, wood trim, stone accents, sometimes a guest house or garage finished in a different material than the main residence. Each surface calls for its own primer and topcoat, and using the same product across all of them usually means at least one surface underperforms over time. Coastal sun and marine air still play a role in Montecito, especially on south- and west-facing walls, so we factor UV and moisture resistance into paint selection alongside the surface type itself.
For larger jobs, we’ll walk through where a premium paint system is worth the extra cost, typically on high-exposure walls, versus where a standard system performs just as well.
Our exterior painting process combines detailed surface preparation, proper protection, and durable coatings for Montecito properties.
We inspect surface conditions, material types, sun exposure, and access around the property.
We cover landscaping, hardscaping, and outdoor features before preparation begins.
We clean, scrape, sand, and caulk surfaces as needed for a smooth, durable finish.
We apply the right coatings for each surface, then complete a detailed walkthrough with you.
Exterior color decisions here tend to lean toward understated palettes, warm neutrals, soft whites, muted greens, and earth tones that sit well against the area’s hillside and oak-covered landscape. A home’s architectural style, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, or ranch, also shapes which colors work best, since a color that looks great in isolation can clash with rooflines, stonework, or landscaping if chosen without that context. We’ll walk through color and trim pairings against your home’s actual architecture before any paint goes on the wall.
For larger properties with multiple structures, main house, guest house, garage, keeping a cohesive color scheme across all of them gives the whole property a more intentional, finished look.
It depends on total surface area and material variety. A multi-structure property with several surface types typically takes longer than a standard single-family exterior, and we'll give you a realistic timeline at the estimated stage.
Yes, we plan protection for trees, hedges, and garden beds before any pressure washing or painting begins, especially around scaffolding and equipment staging.

He communicated clearly, answered all of my client’s questions, and made sure expectations were set upfront.
