    I remember a couple summer trips back in the day when it was over 120*F. Fired up the genny and both roof airs in the 5er when leaving El Centro Friday and they didn't shut down till Sunday. All windows covered with Reflectix so it was basically pitch black in the trailer and super comfortable. Burned A LOT of gas in the genny those weekends but the sand and riding was worth it.

    Let’s go!!!
    morning rides + AC + canal  = nothing better!

    Price ls very, depending on size, one story, two story. Doing just fascia's or doing full house like stucco, doors & garage doors etc.

     I did mine about 6-8 months ago. The guy I use JK painting out of Alpine is not known for being cheap, but he’s very good. Family has been using him for many, many years. His prep it top notch, which is a huge difference in a good job and a great job. Things like pulling lights off the walls, pulling loose gutter down spouts, removing address numbers, if painting doors pulling the door handles & locks. His interior painting is very good too. Interiors cost way more as there is more wall & ceiling sq footage vs exteriors. I never thought about it until he told me. 

    He only uses SW paints. Emerald is the top exterior paint. IMO it’s worth the extra cost as it will hold its color longer and not fade as quick as other paints. Plus on the stucco they can add an additive that repels water and stains. Again just adds more to the costs. 
     

    I have neighbors who have saved as much as $1500-2000 compared to what I paid last year. No idea of the brand of paint they used? I know one was Dunn Edwards. On a few houses their stucco crack repairs look horrible and looks like two tone stripes after painted. You can’t see any of my stucco crack repairs. We had the typical hairline cracks at the corner of windows. Also JK caulks all the joints which not all painters do. My house is almost 2400ft and using all SW Emerald, two colors and 3rd on my front door was around $7800. At the time there was a paint shortage, but he was able to get what we needed, and the prices weren’t jacked up like they are now. No idea what the cost might be now? Another 25% more? 

    Totally! Your $7800 just went so far. Best your money could buy and now you won’t have to worry about paint forever. No reason to save a little on non-SW paint when you have to pay double just to re-do it in 5 years. Nothing beats SW! Especially their prep rite pro-block primer. That stuff was on my south facing eves, just by itself no top coat and looked brand new even after 8 years of full sun, snow, and our bad winds.
