Professional Exterior Painting for Your Home or Business

Revitalize Your Tucson Home with Trusted Exterior Painting

In a city where the sky turns coral and violet nearly every evening, your home should reflect that same beauty and resilience. At That 1 Painter Tucson, we understand how exterior painting in Southern Arizona isn’t just about looks—it’s about protecting your investment from the region’s intense climate. Whether you live in a 1920s adobe bungalow in Barrio Viejo or a sleek, modern stucco home tucked into Dove Mountain, our painters know the architecture, materials, and climate-specific needs of Tucson homes.

With over 286 days of relentless sun each year, Tucson’s UV rays can bleach even the best paint within a few seasons. Add in high desert dust, dry heat, and heavy summer monsoons, and your home’s exterior faces constant exposure. That’s why we use only top-tier elastomeric and breathable coatings that resist cracking, fading, and moisture damage.

These paints are built to handle the Sonoran Desert’s extreme shifts between scorching days and cool nights. If you’ve been searching for “painters near me” who truly understand the Tucson environment, you’ve found your team. That 1 Painter Tucson delivers high-performance results designed to last in the desert heat.

WE NEVER MISS A SPOT

Quality craftsmanship means perfecting every detail. We train our local painting teams to focus on the areas other painters often overlook, ensuring every home or business in Tucson looks its absolute best. We take pride in finishing every project to perfection.

Top Exterior Paint Colors for Tucson, AZ Homes in 2025

A fresh coat of paint can change the entire look and feel of your Tucson home. In neighborhoods like Sam Hughes or the Catalina Foothills, homes range from historic adobe to modern desert builds. New paint brings out the character in each style. It helps older homes feel renewed and gives newer homes a clean, finished look. It’s also one of the easiest ways to raise your home’s value, especially if you’re planning to sell.

But it’s not just about curb appeal. Tucson’s strong sun and dry air wear down paint fast. New paint adds a layer of protection from UV rays, dust, and monsoon moisture. It also lets you show off your personality. Whether you love soft desert tones or bold Southwest colors, we help you choose what fits. At That 1 Painter Tucson, we match the paint to your style and your neighborhood.

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

In-Depth Exterior Assessment

We start with a meticulous walkaround, noting sun damage, peeling stucco, water marks from monsoons, and heat cracks. Homes in Tucson often experience rapid paint deterioration—our inspection identifies where the elements have hit hardest.

STEP 2

Desert-Ready Surface Preparation

From power washing off dust and pollen to sealing expansion cracks in stucco, we prep your surfaces based on local wear. We also protect xeriscaped yards, rock gardens, cactus beds, and outdoor patios—no drip, no debris.

STEP 3

High-Performance Painting

Using UV-reflective and elastomeric coatings from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, we apply paint to withstand both intense sunlight and heavy rainfall. Our Tucson painters ensure crisp lines and even coverage—especially critical on textured stucco or block walls.

STEP 4

Trim, Details & Character Touches

Tucson homes have personality—from wrought iron accents to pueblo-style beams. We focus on trim, fascia boards, decorative tile inlays, and handrails—adding definition and charm with the perfect paint touches.

STEP 5

Final Walkthrough and Full Cleanup

We inspect together with you to ensure excellence. Then, we leave your home spotless, sweeping up dust, removing tarps, and rehanging outdoor fixtures. The only thing left behind is a beautiful, resilient finish.
