The service
What bathroom painting is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Bathroom painting is the repainting of walls, ceiling and trim in a room that sees steam, splashing and condensation every day. Bathroom Painting in Los Gatos is booked through pros who cover its 4 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Downtown Los Gatos, Almond Grove, and Belgatos. In Los Gatos, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. Pricing and warranty come from the pro you pick.

What is not part of bathroom painting
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. Work past that mark moves to a licensed contractor, which NorTech points out before you book.
- Repairing leaks, replacing wet drywall or treating widespread mold. The moisture source must be fixed and the area dried before painting.
- Plumbing work, fixture replacement and moving a vent or fan duct, which belong to licensed trades.
- Painting tile, tubs or shower surfaces, which is refinishing and a separate service.
- Scraping bathroom paint in a pre-1978 home before the pro knows. Old paint may contain lead, so testing comes first.
- Cabinet and vanity refinishing, which is a separate service.

Before you book bathroom painting
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph peeling and stained spots
Take close photos of peeling paint, dark spots and ceiling stains, especially above the shower. The pro can tell whether it is a surface problem or a sign of a leak.
Test the fan
Hold a tissue to the fan grille. If it does not cling, the fan is weak.
Look for a leak source
Brown rings, soft drywall or paint that bubbles again after being fixed point to moisture from a leak. Repair it first and let the wall dry fully before paint goes on.
Clear the room
Take down towels, bath mats and accessories, and clear the counters. Leaving the room bare makes masking quicker and the finish cleaner.
Plan the first shower
Ask your pro how long to wait before heavy steam, and run the fan and leave the door open while the paint cures.
Note the home age
For homes built before 1978, tell the pro before sanding or scraping. Old paint may contain lead and is tested first.
Say where in Los Gatos you are
