Bantu Painting
Exterior House Painting in Davis, CA
Curb appeal that lasts — with the surface prep and dry-rot repair most painters skip.
Davis summers are brutal on exterior paint. Relentless valley sun fades color and dries out caulk and wood, so a lasting exterior job depends on real preparation, not just a fresh coat. Bantu Painting power washes, repairs, primes, and seals before painting — then finishes with premium coatings rated for our climate.
Because we stand behind the work, exterior projects include a 5-year written workmanship warranty covering peeling, blistering, or flaking under normal conditions.
Our exterior process
A durable finish is built in layers. Here's what goes into every exterior project:
- Soft power wash of stucco, trim, fascia, eaves, and fences to remove chalk, dirt, and mildew
- Dry-rot remediation: dig out damaged wood, treat with hardener/fungicide, and rebuild with high-strength filler
- Scrape, feather-sand, and caulk gaps around trim, windows, and stucco cracks for a weather-tight seal
- Prime all bare wood, repaired stucco, and patches for proper adhesion
- Two finish coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald or SuperPaint on the body, with trim and doors finished in a durable enamel
- Daily cleanup and a final walkthrough
Stucco, wood, trim, and more
We paint stucco bodies, wood and fiber-cement siding, fascia and eaves, trim, shutters, front doors, fences, and railings. Minor stucco crack repair and wood trim replacement are handled in-house.
Built for the Central Valley
We recommend and apply coatings engineered for sun and heat, so your color stays true and your surfaces stay sealed against Davis, Woodland, and Sacramento weather.
Typical investment

Every project gets a clear, written, fixed-price quote before any work begins — no surprise hourly bills.
