Wilmar’s Painting is a house-painting company serving Oakland and the East Bay. A fresh exterior does two jobs at once: it protects your siding and trim from sun and weather, and it lifts your home’s curb appeal. We wash, scrape, prime, caulk, and repaint, and we clean the site as we go. Call (510) 927-7886 for a free exterior painting estimate.

Paint we use for exteriors
We apply Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams exterior coatings, matched to your siding type and the exposure your home gets. We’ll recommend a line and sheen with your estimate.
Best time of year for exterior painting in the East Bay
Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and mild temperatures to cure well. In the East Bay that usually means late spring through early fall is ideal, but our dry-summer climate gives a long working season. We watch the forecast and won’t paint over damp surfaces or in the rain.
How much does exterior painting cost in Oakland?
We price each exterior after seeing it in person. The biggest factors are:
- Size of the home and number of stories
- Siding type and its current condition (how much scraping, sanding, and repair it needs)
- Amount of trim and detail work
- Access — steep lots, tall walls, and tight side yards take more time
- One color or two, and whether doors and railings are included
Because those factors vary so much from home to home, we don’t post a flat price — we give you a written estimate after seeing the exterior in person, and the estimate is free.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to paint a house exterior?
Most single-family exteriors take several working days, depending on size, prep, and weather. We give you a timeline with your estimate and keep you updated as we go.
Do you pressure wash before painting?
Yes. We wash the exterior and let it dry completely before we prep or paint. Clean, dry surfaces are what make the new paint last.
Will you paint over cracked or peeling paint?
No. We scrape and sand failing paint, feather the edges, and spot-prime bare areas first so the new coat bonds properly.
Do you handle repairs before painting?
We handle painting prep such as filling cracks, caulking gaps, and sanding. For structural repairs like dry rot, ask us during the estimate and we will tell you what we can cover.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We do a walkthrough at the end of every job, and our work is backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty. We cover finish problems that come from how the paint was applied.
What if it rains?
We watch the forecast and schedule around it. We don’t paint on wet surfaces or when rain is expected before the coat can dry.
