Gallery Whites, Spanish Stucco& Modernist LinesCommercial and residential painting for Santa Monica, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Venice and Mar Vista
Our office is on Colorado Avenue, a block from the galleries of Bergamot Station and surrounded by creative offices that repaint as often as they reconfigure. Up the hill, 1920s Spanish Revival houses and Ocean Park Craftsman cottages need gentle, period-aware work. And Santa Monica's architect-designed modern homes demand perfectly straight lines and flawless flat finishes. We paint all of it, and our dispatcher picks up 24/7.

Repainting a Spanish Revival or Craftsman, step by step
North of Montana's Spanish Revival houses and Ocean Park's Craftsman cottages have smooth hand-troweled stucco, wood windows and decorative ironwork. Our approach:
PATCH
Match the texture
Cracks in hand-troweled stucco are patched to blend with the original finish, not sprayed over with a modern texture.
BREATHE
Breathable coatings
Old stucco and plaster need paint that lets moisture escape, or it blisters.
DETAIL
Iron, tile & wood
Wrought iron derusted and enameled, wood windows and doors brushed, decorative tile masked and protected.
APPROVE
Landmark-aware
For designated properties, we provide samples and specs if the Landmarks Commission needs to review the work.

Architect-designed homes
Modern houses show every flaw
Big white walls, floor-to-ceiling glass and strong daylight leave nowhere to hide. Painting a modern home is mostly about prep and precision.
Skim-smooth walls
Low spots and tape lines skimmed and sanded before paint so raking light shows nothing.
Crisp reveals
Shadow-gap baseboards and reveals cut perfectly straight.
Steel and glass
Steel frames and mullions masked tight so paint lines are clean against the glass.
Wood left natural
Exposed beams, cedar ceilings and plywood walls protected or sealed, never painted by mistake.

Questions
Santa Monica painting questions
Need a fast answer? Dispatch is available 24/7 at (424) 238-0987.
What does 24/7 dispatch mean for a painting company?
Whenever you call, a dispatcher answers. That matters for galleries with a show closing late, offices that want a crew in overnight, and shops that need graffiti covered before opening.
Can you repaint our gallery between exhibitions?
Yes. Give us the de-install and install dates and we'll fill holes, sand, prime spots and roll your gallery white so the walls are dry for hanging.
How do you repaint a Spanish Revival stucco house?
We patch cracks to match the original smooth troweled texture, use breathable paint, and protect tile, beams and ironwork. We don't spray on modern texture.
Our house is a designated landmark. Can you work on it?
Yes. For designated properties, exterior work may need review by the Santa Monica Landmarks Commission. We provide samples and specs for that process.
Why do my white walls show roller marks in the afternoon?
Strong side light shows every ridge and patch. We skim and sand problem areas and use high-quality flat paint to get an even look.
Do you paint steel windows and doors?
Yes. We clean, treat rust, prime and finish steel frames and metal doors, masking the glass for clean lines.
What areas do you cover?
All of Santa Monica, including Bergamot, Mid-City, Wilshire Montana, North of Montana, Downtown, Ocean Park, Pico and Sunset Park, plus Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Venice and Mar Vista.
