A sturdy, water-tight roof is a minimum habitability standard in California. Rather than patch problems as they occur, Castle uses a comprehensive solution that saves you money, keeps residents comfortable, and stands the test of time.

Some paint jobs are cosmetic. Stucco buildings only need fresh paint every seven to fifteen years. But painting wood is a necessity, since it protects the wood from decay. So from walls to window trim, if there’s wood on the property, we make sure it gets painted frequently.

A successful paint job is in the preparation. Castle instructs our contractors to remove dry rot and caulk corners until they’re water-tight. It costs a little more than painting alone, but it adds several years to the life of the paint. 

We encourage using enamel paints, which give our buildings new dimension, richness, and shine. When possible we also accent our buildings with a third color, which draws the eye to small details and gives visitors a brand-new perspective.

Badly installed asphalt can pit, buckle and crack in as little as seven years, becoming ugly to look at, dangerous to navigate, and costly to replace. At Castle, we know what makes a cost-effective asphalt job, and we’re proactive with maintenance.

Every three to five years we protect our asphalt with seal coating. Before bidding, we walk the job and mark the deteriorated areas with spray paint. We ask the winning contractor to saw out the weak spots, re-compact the gravel and replace them with the same lift. If necessary, we’ll specify different lift if it will strengthen the hardscape. Coating takes place only when we have a smooth surface.
