Painting Services in Pasadena

Pasadena's rich architectural heritage spans from Victorian mansions to mid-century modern gems, and everything in between. We have completed hundreds of projects across Pasadena, from historic homes along Orange Grove Boulevard to commercial properties in Old Town and around landmark institutions like Caltech. Our team understands the specific requirements of painting in Pasadena's historic districts, where color choices and exterior modifications may need to align with neighborhood guidelines. We use premium paints that stand up to Pasadena's warm summers while maintaining the elegant look these properties deserve. The featured project photos below show Huff Painting crews working inside Caltech facilities in Pasadena.

Permit note: Pasadena has strict historic preservation guidelines in designated landmark districts. If your property is in a historic district, exterior color changes may require Design Review approval from the city. We can help navigate this process and work within the guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting in Pasadena

Do historic homes in Pasadena have special painting requirements?
Yes. Properties in Pasadena's designated historic districts may require Design Review approval for exterior color changes. Our team has experience working within these guidelines and can help you choose compliant color schemes that still look great.
How long does exterior paint last in Pasadena's climate?
With proper preparation and premium paint, exterior finishes in Pasadena typically last 7 to 10 years. The key is thorough surface prep and using UV-resistant products suited for the warm, dry San Gabriel Valley climate.
Do you paint commercial properties in Old Town Pasadena?
Absolutely. We have completed numerous commercial painting projects in Old Town and throughout Pasadena's business districts, including work near Caltech and the California Institute of Technology. We work around business hours and can schedule off-hours painting to minimize disruption.
How much does house painting cost in Pasadena?
Every project is unique. Pricing depends on the size of the property, condition of surfaces, and scope of work. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect. Call (747) 888-8314 or request a quote online.
Can you repaint my entire Pasadena house, inside and out?
Yes. Whole-home repaints are one of the main things we do. A full project covers exterior siding, stucco, trim, fascia, eaves, doors, and garage doors, plus interior walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. We sequence the exterior and interior so you are not living in a construction zone the whole time, and one crew led by owner Cory Huff runs the job start to finish rather than handing it between subcontractors.
What does your prep work actually include on a Pasadena home?
Prep is roughly 60 percent of the job and it is where a paint job is won or lost. On exteriors we power wash, scrape and sand loose or peeling paint, repair dry rot and damaged wood, caulk gaps around trim and windows, patch stucco cracks, and prime all bare and repaired surfaces. On interiors we move and cover furniture, mask floors and fixtures, patch nail holes and drywall damage, sand smooth, and spot prime. Only after all of that does any finish coat go on.
What paint brands do you use on Pasadena homes?
Sherwin-Williams Duration and SuperPaint, and Dunn-Edwards Evershield. These are the lines we have found hold their color and resist chalking through Pasadena summers. For interiors we offer low-VOC and zero-VOC options, which are worth asking about if you have young kids, pets, or anyone sensitive to fumes in the house.
What is included in your estimate, and do you offer a warranty?
Our estimates are written and itemized. They spell out the surfaces being painted, the prep and repair work included, how many coats, and the specific products and product lines going on. Free and no obligation. We also stand behind the finished work with a written warranty, and we do a final walkthrough with you before we call the job complete so anything you want addressed gets addressed.
Are you licensed and insured, and are you lead-safe certified for older Pasadena homes?
Yes on all three. Huff Painting Co. holds California Contractor License number 451832 and we are insured and bonded. We are also EPA RRP lead-safe certified, which matters in Pasadena because so much of the housing stock predates 1978 and disturbing old paint during prep is regulated work.
