Why Homeowners Choose RG Painting & Construction
Santa Barbara Painting Contractor specializing in interior, exterior, and commercial painting services. At RG Painting and Construction, Inc., we approach painting differently—by combining professional painting with licensed contractor-level preparation and repairs.
Most painting companies focus only on applying paint. As a licensed general contractor, we handle the preparation, repairs, and painting as one complete system.
This means:
-
We can repair stucco, drywall, and wood before painting
-
You don’t need multiple contractors
-
The paint lasts longer because the surface is properly prepared
As an all-in-one company, we’re able to manage both the preparation and the finish in-house helping to protect your home, reduce the likelihood of future issues, and deliver a result that is both refined and durable.
One team. One license. Everything handled.
Built for Santa Barbara's coastal conditions
Clean crews. Clear communication. No surprises.
We handle what painting-only companies can't
When our crew finds rotted wood behind a fascia board, a stucco crack that needs patching before paint, or water damage that needs to be addressed — we fix it ourselves. In-house. Same day. No separate contractor visit, no project delay, no additional coordination. That is the general contractor advantage no painting-only company in Santa Barbara can offer.
A result that lasts 8 to 12 years — not 2 to 3
A paint job done correctly in Santa Barbara's coastal climate — with proper surface preparation, the right primer system, and premium coatings applied at the correct film build — lasts 8 to 12 years. A paint job done with skipped prep and inferior materials lasts 2 to 3. The price difference between the two quotes is rarely as large as the cost of repainting four years early.
