Project Description

A worn exterior paint job can make a well-kept, mid-century home look tired long before its structure or systems show any real age. That was the situation facing this 1,795-square-foot home in Concord, CA, where faded body paint, weathered trim, and sun-bleached cedar eaves no longer matched the quality of the property itself. This exterior painting in Concord, CA project addressed the entire building envelope: the body, the casings, both doors, and the garage door.

The Woodiwiss Painting crew repainted the full exterior body, all casings, both doors, and the garage door, then refinished the cedar eaves with a fresh stain instead of paint to preserve their natural wood grain. The result is a deep, cohesive color update that replaces the home’s dated white and wood-tone palette with a modern, unified look. Woodiwiss Painting has served homeowners across West Contra Costa and North Alameda Counties since 2004, and this project reflects the same full-envelope approach used on similar mid-century and traditional homes throughout the area.

House Body & Siding

The main body of this 1,795-square-foot home received a full exterior repaint, moving from its original pale tone to a deep blue-gray. Covering that much wall area evenly takes careful masking and cutting in around windows, vents, and roof lines so the new color reads clean from every angle. This is the largest and most visible part of any residential exterior house painting project, and it sets the tone for everything else on the property.

Trim, Casings & Doors

Window casings and door trim were repainted to match the new body color, giving the home a unified, monochrome look instead of a contrasting trim scheme. Both doors were also repainted as part of the scope. Matching trim to the body is a common choice on mid-century homes, where the goal is often a cleaner, less segmented facade rather than a high-contrast trim package.

Garage Door

The garage door was repainted to match the new exterior color scheme, tying the largest flat surface on the front elevation into the rest of the home. A freshly painted garage door in the same tone as the siding closes the visual gap that often makes a repaint look unfinished, even when the rest of the house has already been redone.

Cedar Eaves, Stained Instead of Painted

Rather than paint over the cedar eaves, the crew applied a wood stain to refresh the grain while keeping its natural warmth. Staining calls for different prep and product than body paint, since the goal is penetration and color enhancement rather than full opaque coverage. This detail is part of what separates full exterior painting services from a body-only repaint, and it shows clearly in the after photos, where the eaves read richer and more finished against the new blue-gray siding.
