About This Project

A Sun-Beaten Exterior, Reset to Reflect the Heat

By mid-afternoon, the west side of this Ontario home turned into an oven. The stucco had chalked and faded under years of Inland Empire sun, the old paint was giving up on roughly a four-year cycle, and the homeowner was tired of repainting a house that never stayed cool. This time the goal was a finish that would hold its color and actually push the heat back, not just look fresh for a season.

How the COOLWALL system went on

  1. Waterblast. Strip chalk and grime from every wall and eave so the system bonds to sound surface.
  2. Patch and trench. Fill the stucco cracks and trench three to six inches at the foundation so the coating ties in clean at the base.
  3. Rebuild the wood. Replace the dry-rotted fascia and beam ends, then prime the bare grain.
  4. Hi-Reflective primer. Lay the primer coat the reflective finish is built to sit on.
  5. COOLWALL body. Roll the French White KYNAR IR coating across the stucco, matched to the existing Spanish-lace texture so the patches vanish.
  6. Sandalwood trim. Cut in the fascia, beams, wood siding, doors, and the entry gate for contrast.

Once we washed it down, the beam ends told the real story. The wood was soft under paint that looked fine from the street, so we pulled it and replaced it before any coating went on. COOLWALL is a long-term system, you don't bury bad wood under a finish that's supposed to outlast regular paint by years.

Frequently asked questions

Thinking about a project like this?

If this project has you picturing your own home, you're not alone. These are the questions we answer most often for homeowners deciding to move forward, so you know exactly what working with us looks like.

COOLWALL is built to outlast standard exterior paint by a wide margin. TEX-COTE makes the system as a ceramic coating with infrared-reflective KYNAR pigments and backs it with a long manufacturer warranty, which is why it holds its color through years of Inland Empire sun instead of fading and chalking the way ordinary paint does. The catch is prep: on this Ontario home we waterblasted, patched the stucco, and primed bare wood first, because the coating only lasts as long as the surface under it.

That is the whole reason it exists. TEX-COTE lists COOLWALL's infrared-reflective pigments as reflecting solar heat that standard paint would absorb, so the walls run cooler even in warmer colors, which matters in a place like Ontario where summers are long and hot. On this project we paired the cooler walls with fresh blown-in attic insulation, so the exterior and the attic work together to keep heat out.

Regular exterior paint is a thin film that sits on the surface and absorbs a lot of the sun's heat, then fades as that heat and UV break it down. COOLWALL is a thicker ceramic coating with heat-reflective pigment engineered to bounce solar energy back and resist fading, so it both cools the wall and keeps its color longer. It is applied as a system, a Hi-Reflective primer followed by the COOLWALL finish, not a single coat of paint.

The honest answer is that it depends on the home, so we measure and bid each one rather than quote a flat rate. The biggest drivers are the size of the exterior in squares, how much prep the surface needs (stucco crack patching and wood replacement add up), whether trim is a second color, and any add-ons like attic insulation or coating a gate and chimney. A heat-reflective system like COOLWALL costs more upfront than basic paint, and it is priced to last far longer, which is the trade-off most homeowners are weighing.
