Why Prep Decides How the Paint Looks

Anyone can roll paint onto a wall. What decides whether it still looks right in two years is the half of the job that happens before the color goes on — filling, sanding, caulking, masking and priming.

That is the part people skip to come in cheap, and it is the part we do not skip. Rio Vista sun is hard on exterior coatings and older midtown homes hide a lot of movement in their plaster, so the prep is what the finish is actually resting on.

What Good Prep Involves

  • Holes filled and patches sanded flush.
  • Gaps caulked so water stays out.
  • Primer wherever the surface needs it.

Rio Vista sun is hard on exterior coatings, and older homes hide a lot of movement in their plaster. Prep is what the finish rests on.

  • Site swept and trash hauled away.

What You Get

We work room by room so you keep the use of your house, and we clean down at the end of every day rather than at the end of the job.

Painting Done Properly, Start to Finish

A Straight Answer on What Your House Needs

Not every house that looks tired needs repainting. Rub a dry hand across the siding: if it comes away chalky the surface coat has broken down and a wash will not bring it back. If it is only dirty, a proper wash buys you another season or two and we will tell you so.

Where paint has split at the joints, flaked, or left bare wood exposed, repainting now is far cheaper than replacing the wood it was protecting. We look at the actual property before quoting rather than pricing off a photo.

Getting Your Home Ready

There is very little for you to do before we arrive in Rio Vista.

  • Move anything fragile or valuable out of the room.
  • Leave us access to the walls and the exterior elevations.
  • Tell us about pets, parking and the hours that suit you.
  • Interior & Exterior Painting
  • Residential Properties Only

What We Paint

A repaint is the fastest way to make a house feel looked after, and it is one of the few jobs where the cost is mostly labor rather than materials — so it is worth having it done properly once.

Work We Take On

  • Interior walls, ceilings, trim and doors.
  • Exterior siding, fascia, soffits and front doors.
  • Kitchen cabinets and fine finish work.
  • Drywall patching and patching before paint.

What Changes the Price

  • How much patching and caulking the surfaces need.
  • Ceiling height and access on the elevations.
  • Whether the color is a big change from what is there.

Why Rio Vista Homeowners Call Us Back

Blair Handyman is small and local on purpose. The person who comes out and quotes your job is the person who turns up to do it, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the work.

We are residential only, which means your house is not squeezed in between two commercial contracts. Estimates are free and given in writing, and there is no obligation to book once you have the number.

Rio Vista covers a lot of different housing — older midtown homes with lath and plaster, and tract homes with very different surfaces. The right approach on one street is the wrong one two blocks over.

What we see most in Rio Vista is delta wind and damp air off the water, a combination that finds every unsealed edge on a property. That changes how a job is planned, so we look at the actual property before quoting.

Painting in Rio Vista: Common Questions

(916) 807-9108

Do you cover Rio Vista?

Yes. We cover Rio Vista and Solano County as part of our regular service area, along with 16+ other local cities. Residential properties only — houses, townhouses and condos.

Exteriors in the Sacramento valley usually want repainting every 7 to 10 years, and a south or west elevation in full sun goes first. If a dry hand comes away chalky off the siding, the surface coat has gone. Interiors are down to wear rather than weather and normally run longer.

Yes. We move and sheet furniture before we start and put it back where it was at the end. Anything fragile or valuable we would rather you moved yourself, and we will say so if something is better out of the room entirely.

If the cabinet boxes are sound, almost always. Doors and fronts come off and get labeled, hardware is bagged, everything is degreased and keyed, then it is bonding primer and a durable cabinet finish. A fraction of the cost of a new kitchen.

Most single rooms are a day. A whole interior is usually three to five days depending on size and patching. Exteriors run three to five days for a typical single-story home. You get a real number with the quote, not a guess.

Yes. We come out, look at the actual job and give you a written price with no fee and no obligation. Call (916) 807-9108 and we will arrange a time that works for you.
