HOW IT WORKS
Getting Exterior Painting That Lasts
Hiring a company for any type of home project can be a stressful experience. Besides the difficulty in finding a team you can trust, there are always surprise bills that come up. At Bernardo’s Painting, we’re transparent with our process, which keeps you in charge at all times.
1. Schedule An Estimate
We’ll have a call to talk about how you want your house to look like. We’ll also discuss if any repairs are needed. We’ll provide an estimate over the phone and set up an in-home consultation.
2. We Paint Your Home
First things first: power washing, masking, and covering all exterior areas that will not be painted (like sidewalks, windows, and trims). Only then do we start painting.
3. Enjoy A New Home
You can finally be proud of your house’s exterior. You’ll have more time to enjoy with friends and family with the peace of mind that it’s going to be safe for years to come.
The Paint We Use, and Why It Matters
We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh on every job. It is the only paint brand we work with.
Oahu’s climate is demanding. High humidity, intense sun, and regular heavy rain wear down paint faster than most mainland conditions.
Emerald Rain Refresh was built for exactly this. It resists mold and mildew, holds its color under UV exposure, and applies at the film thickness that makes a paint job last through Hawaii’s weather cycles.
We do not switch brands based on what is in stock or what saves a few dollars per gallon. Consistency in product means consistency in results. If a quote from another painter comes in lower, ask what paint they are using. That question usually answers itself.
Fixing The Real Cause To Avoid Future Damage - Our Approach
Painting over damaged areas in hope no one notices will only make problems get worse. We repair and repaint your house’s exterior without cutting corners.
From repairing any dry rot or termite-damaged areas to changing your siding and trim, our carpenters have the skills and solutions to make sure your house is strong as well as beautiful.
You don’t have to go through the hassle of hiring three different teams to get a job well done.

I needed to have the exterior of my home painted because of the association…I didn’t know who to call and I decided to give Bernardo a call and got a free estimate and decided to let his company do the job…and what an amazing job they did in only 3 days…
My hubby and I are so happy and pleased with the paint job on our home…I’d call him to paint the interior of my home in the near future, also I would recommend his company to others…mahalo Bernardo and crew, you guys rock!!
Bernie M.
Bernardo’s Painting is responsive, fairly priced, insured, and professional. Bernardo’s attention to detail that others may ignore is what sets him apart. His warranty period speaks to the quality of paint and proper prep. His crew is respectful, hard-working and trustworthy.
We obtained 3 estimates from licensed painting contractors and while it was competitive, it was the prompt replies and detail that won them the job. Great work, Bernardo’s!

Exterior Painting FAQs
Exterior timelines depend on the size of the home, surface condition, and the level of preparation required.
Proper preparation such as pressure washing, sanding peeling areas, sealing gaps, and addressing any damaged surfaces must be completed before painting begins. In some older homes, additional steps like lead paint handling may also affect the schedule.
After inspecting your home, we provide a written estimate with a clear scope of work and timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
A durable exterior finish starts with thorough preparation.
Our exterior painting process typically includes:
- Pressure washing and surface cleaning
- Treating mildew when present
- Sanding and removing peeling paint
- Spot priming exposed wood or bare areas
- Sealing gaps and joints with caulking
- Applying premium finish coats designed for Hawaii’s climate
Skipping these steps may reduce upfront cost, but it often leads to premature peeling and failure. We complete the preparation correctly so your home stays protected.
We primarily use professional spray application because it allows us to achieve proper film thickness and consistent coverage across large exterior surfaces.
When brushing and rolling, pressure can thin the paint, often requiring additional coats to reach the correct build. If you prefer brushing and rolling, we can accommodate that request. Because it increases labor and production time, it requires approximately a 30% adjustment in cost.
Our recommendation is always based on what will provide the most durable protection for your home.
We specialize in full-service exterior painting projects with a minimum investment of $5,000.
Final pricing depends on square footage, the condition of the siding, the level of preparation required, and whether additional work such as lead paint abatement is necessary.
We provide a detailed written estimate outlining the full scope so you understand exactly what is included.
Our pricing reflects detailed preparation, premium Sherwin-Williams coatings, and a professionally vetted crew that is drug-tested and background-checked.
Many low-bid painters reduce prep time or use lower-grade materials to cut costs. We focus on durability and long-term performance, especially in Hawaii’s climate where salt air, moisture, and sun exposure can quickly affect poorly applied paint.
We believe in doing the job correctly the first time so your home stays protected.
Yes. Many older homes in Hawaii contain lead-based paint.
When lead is present or suspected, we coordinate with certified lead abatement professionals to ensure safe and compliant handling before repainting begins.
This step may increase cost and timeline, but safety and proper procedure always come first.
Yes. We encourage homeowners to narrow their choices to a few preferred colors, and we can provide digital renderings to help you visualize how those colors will look on your home.
If you would like more detailed design guidance, we work with a trusted professional color consultant who has extensive experience with exterior projects.
Our goal is for you to feel confident in your selection before we begin.
