House Painters in Castro

Victorian rowhouses and classic Painted Ladies.

The Castro has some of the most vibrant Victorian color schemes in the city — and the most expressive client base. Painting a Castro Victorian usually means three or more colors, occasionally five, and a willingness to commit to a scheme that announces itself.

The craftsmanship requirements are the same as anywhere else in pre-1978 SF: lead-safe practices, careful substrate prep, multi-color cut-ins that demand patience. The reward is a Painted Lady worthy of the neighborhood.

Projects we typically do in Castro

  • Bold 3-to-5 color Victorian schemes
  • Painted Lady restoration
  • Trim and gingerbread repair
  • Interior repainting in flats
  • Lead-safe exterior prep

Local considerations

Steep streets in some sub-blocks make staging slower. Many homes are in the Eureka Valley/Castro Historic District — color and material choices benefit from research before final selection.

Reviews from Castro

We interviewed 5 contractors for our Victorian repaint. RS was the only one who walked us through lead-safe practices and historic color options without being asked. Easy choice.
