Exterior guide
Exterior painting in St George should start with stucco prep, not color.
Sun, dust, stucco texture, and patched surfaces make exterior painting here more about preparation discipline than brochure language.
Ask what gets pressure washed, what gets scraped or sanded, what gets re-caulked, and how existing chalking or peeling areas are handled before new product goes on. Those answers matter more than a quick “two coats” promise.
Stucco-heavy homes deserve an even more detailed conversation. Repairs, patch texture, fascia condition, garage doors, gates, courtyard walls, and exposed masonry can all change labor and material planning.
Color approval can also slow the job if your neighborhood or HOA has exterior restrictions. It is worth asking how the painter expects that part of the process to line up with scheduling.

Use the local homework first, then go straight to the official exterior page.
That gives the official contractor route better context and helps the estimate discussion start with surfaces, prep, and exposure rather than vague repaint language.
