About
Fresh Start Painting SF
Owner and founder Estuardo Godinez didn’t exactly know what was in store for him when he first came to this country from Guatemala as a young man in his 20s. It was only after a friend invited him to work in his painting business that Estuardo discovered a passion for painting. He still recalls the feeling of pride he felt when clients saw the finished product. A few years later, he decided to open his own painting business, and in 2005, Fresh Start Painting was born.
His motto from day one has been: Quality First. He and his team continue to follow that motto on each and every job they take on. Fresh Start Painting serves the San Francisco Bay area with both residential and commercial painting services.

FAQs
In general, exterior paint jobs last between five and 10 years. Stucco lasts the longest; wood expands and contracts with the weather, which loosens the paint sooner. We recommend not waiting until the paint is peeling off your home, as this will cost you more in preparation time and labor, especially if wood rot is present.
This is typically used on exterior stucco or on surfaces with many hairline cracks. Elastomerics are applied in thick coats and are able to span hairline cracks permanently. Rather than the cracks reopening on your stucco, the elastomeric coating stretches and keeps them sealed up. This prevents water from getting in and thus protects your home from any damage. Elastomeric coatings look a lot like paint and can be matched to your home’s color.
Interior paint gets dirty in many different ways, from hand prints around switches and knobs to splashes in kitchens and bathrooms. There are also chances for dirt when it comes to marks on hallways and corridors or when soot accumulates above electric lamps and other heat sources. When you remove dirt before it accumulates, this not only improves appearance, it reduces the risk of the dirt getting permanently embedded in the paint.
Latex paints are more environmentally friendly than oil-based paints, which often give off fumes. Latex primers and finishes have come a long way over the years and are very durable. For example, a latex finish on an exterior painting job will last for many years and remain elastic, whereas oil-based paint dries to a hard and brittle film. Latex paint will move with the surface as it expands and contracts with weather.
There are certain guidelines and procedures set by the EPA that we follow in regards to removing lead paint. From sanding to bagging up the paint chips for proper disposal, you can be sure we follow all guidelines for the safe removal of lead paint from your home.
