Exterior Wall Coatings

Your Building’s Skin Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought—It’s the First Line of Defense
Exterior wall coatings do more than make a building look sharp. In the Bay Area’s diverse climate—from fog and sea spray in San Francisco to the intense sun and dry heat in Walnut Creek—your exterior surfaces are constantly exposed to elements that wear them down.

At AFR Windows, we provide high-performance exterior wall coatings that don’t just improve aesthetics—they protect your structure, prevent water intrusion, and extend the life of your building envelope. Whether you manage a historic property in Pacific Heights or a commercial facility in Oakland, our coatings are built to perform.

The Problem: Paint Alone Isn’t Enough to Protect Exterior Walls
Standard paint products weren’t designed to protect against wind-driven rain, UV degradation, pollutants, or building movement. Over time, untreated or poorly coated walls can experience:

• Water intrusion behind stucco, concrete, or EIFS

• Mold, mildew, or efflorescence on surfaces

• Fading, peeling, or cracking paint

• Freeze-thaw damage in shaded or elevated areas

• Air leaks that impact HVAC performance

The result? Moisture damage, rising maintenance costs, and an unprofessional appearance that drags down property value and tenant satisfaction.

The Solution: Elastomeric Coatings That Seal, Shield, and Last
We apply industrial-grade exterior wall coatings designed to perform in the real world. These aren’t your off-the-shelf paints—they’re flexible, breathable membranes that expand and contract with your building while creating a seamless moisture barrier.

Our wall coating services include:

• Elastomeric coating systems for stucco, masonry, and concrete

• UV-stable finishes that resist fading, cracking, and chalking

• Waterproof coatings to seal porous surfaces and prevent leaks

• Coating repair and recoating for aging or damaged exteriors

• Color-matched and custom-texture finishes for any architectural style

• Primer and substrate prep to ensure long-term adhesion

We only use trusted products from manufacturers like Sto, Sherwin-Williams, and MasterProtect—coatings designed to meet or exceed industry performance standards for permeability, adhesion, and weathering.

Serving Property Managers, Developers, and Building Owners Throughout the Bay Area
From civic buildings in San Mateo to multi-family communities in Berkeley, we work with:

• HOAs and property managers needing façade improvements

• Commercial building owners preparing for inspections or rebranding

• Developers seeking durable, energy-efficient exteriors

• General contractors looking for specialty coatings subcontractors

Whether you’re planning a full exterior rehab or simply want to extend the life of your building skin, we offer coating systems that scale to your needs.

More Than Paint—It’s Building Envelope Protection
Wall coatings are often part of a broader building envelope strategy. That’s why our team evaluates each property for:

• Existing wall condition and water intrusion history

• Proper joint, window, and transition sealant integrity

• Compatibility with prior paints, sealers, or finishes

• Environmental exposure zones (sun, shade, salt, etc.)

We coordinate wall coatings with other façade services like caulking, flashing repair, and waterproofing—so you get a comprehensive and lasting result.
