Summit Pointe Painting — See the Color Before the Crew Arrives
Built in 1991, and much of the street still wears the builder’s choice. The Gallaghers were one signature away from painting their house twice — and from a hillside with 180-degree views, a miss does not stay private.

The Gallaghers saw their Newport Beach home
in all 11 color schemes. These 4 are a quick preview.
VIP Home Painting serves Summit Pointe, the guard-gated community of 243 homes in Anaheim Hills, CA. Built in 1991, Summit Pointe homes are now several repaint cycles on from their original builder palette. We repaint exteriors, interiors and kitchen cabinets using Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Duration coatings applied with professional Graco and Titan airless spray equipment, and every project starts with a complimentary consultation in which your actual home is rendered in each candidate palette. Exterior work starts at $4.75 per square foot of paintable surface, itemized line by line, backed by a 2-Year Warranty. Call (949) 418-6461.
Does a Color Change Cost More Than a Refresh? In Summit Pointe, Almost Exactly the Same
The ending first: the Gallaghers’ Newport Beach house in Marine Layer, with LED Slot Sconce lighting, Cedar Shake accents and a Smoked Glass Garage. Seen from a distance — the way so many Summit Pointe homes are seen, across 180 degrees of hillside — the old palette turned out to be the riskier choice, not the new color.

- The StyleAiry — a sea-salt green-gray body with bright white trim.
- The MoodFresh and light, readable from across the hillside.
Still Wearing the Builder’s Choice? The 3 Reasons The Gallaghers Kept It as Long as They Did
Summit Pointe was built in 1991, and much of the street still wears the palette the builder picked. A repaint that simply refreshes it costs almost exactly what a change does — which makes the wait worth understanding.
The Gallaghers’ house wore its original colors long after anyone loved them. Keeping them felt safe.
Three things made it feel that way. A refresh needed no decision. A change meant choosing from a fan deck with no way to see the result. And with homes seen from well beyond their own street, a wrong color would not stay a private mistake.
So the builder’s choice stayed, year after year. Not because it was right — because nothing showed them what right would look like until the brush was already loaded.
5 Ways a Summit Pointe Repaint Goes Wrong — and What Prevents Each
The Gallaghers nearly signed off on a refresh of the colors already on their Newport Beach house. Rendered across the whole front and seen from a distance, the old palette looked tired rather than safe — and a new scheme would cost almost exactly the same. The refresh was the first thing they ruled out.
A color change costs nearly the same as a refresh, because you are paying for preparation and coating either way. We show you both on the front of your house before you decide.
Your home is visible from well outside your street.
With 180-degree views off many Summit Pointe homes, we render the whole front of the house at distance rather than showing a swatch, so you judge what the neighborhood actually sees.
Getting a crew and materials through a guarded gate.
Vehicle details and crew names go to the gate in advance, deliveries are scheduled, and everything stages on your property rather than the street.
Three decades of hairline cracks covered rather than repaired.
Each crack is opened, filled and floated to match the surrounding texture, with bonding primer wherever the original coating has chalked, so the new finish rests on a sound surface.
A single lump-sum quote with no way to see what was counted.
Every estimate is itemized line by line — preparation, primer, coating, trim and accents — from $4.75 per square foot of paintable surface, with the 2-Year Warranty written into the same document.
What Caught It: 11 Schemes on Their House, Ten Ruled Out Before the Street Saw One
Every scheme was rendered on the front of the Gallaghers’ Newport Beach house — body, trim and accent together — before anything was bought. Ten went; Marine Layer stayed. In Summit Pointe, where many homes look out over 180 degrees of hillside, the same half hour shows what a render at arm’s length never can: how the house reads from far away.

Your Turn: Judge a Summit Pointe Color From a Distance, on Their House First
Pick a direction and tap through the palettes. The home below repaints itself in real time — the same thing our design team does with the front of your house before anything is scheduled.
The Gallaghers made four decisions, not one — color, lighting, texture and the garage door. Each one changed how the last one looked. Make all four on their house, before you make them on yours.
Choose Your Color Scheme
Pick a style direction, then a palette — your home re-paints itself in real time.
Color is only half of what the street sees after dark.
Fixtures change how a facade reads at night, which is why lighting is the next decision here rather than an afterthought on the invoice.
The Right Lighting
From minimalist LED slots to wrought-iron lanterns — tap each fixture to see it glowing on your home.
Texture decides how the color behaves.
The same pigment on smooth stucco and on cedar shake is not the same color in your light. That is precisely what a sample board cannot tell you.
Texture & Material
Cedar shake, board & batten, or stacked stone — premium material additions layered onto your home.
The last decisions are the ones the street sees first.
A garage door faces the road more squarely than any wall does, and it is the piece most homeowners leave to chance.
The Finishing Touches
Glass-panel garage doors and natural stone for a true luxury transformation.

Seen From Across the Hillside, a Summit Pointe House Is Judged for 8 to 15 Years
Summit Pointe is 243 homes behind one gate, and with panoramic views off many of them, a house is seen from further away and by more neighbors than almost anywhere in the city. None of what follows is visible the week the crew leaves. All of it is visible several summers on, which is why each item is written into the estimate.
- Your stucco holds the paint instead of shedding it. Sprayed paint lands on the peaks of the texture and never reaches the valleys. Back-rolling works the wet coat down into the surface, so the film bonds to the wall rather than sitting on the high points and peeling off a facade you just paid five figures for.
- The color you approved is the color in year six. Paint thinned to stretch a bucket lets UV through to the surface underneath, and chalking and fade follow. Two coats at full wet-film thickness reach the dry film the manufacturer designed the product around.
- Repairs disappear instead of becoming scars. A patch that is not floated back to match the texture reads as a smooth streak across a textured wall in raking afternoon light — visible from the street, permanently.
- Your next repaint is a repaint, not a rebuild. Paint does not fix rot, it conceals it until it is worse and costs more. Wood is repaired before anything is coated over it.
- Two separate companies stand behind the same wall. Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Duration carry the manufacturer’s own limited lifetime warranty on the coating. VIP’s 2-year written warranty covers labor and materials on top of it.
- The flaws get found by us, in daylight. Low-angle light is what exposes lap marks, thin spots and misses. The work is inspected under it at completion, which is why you are not the one who notices a week later.
- You keep living in your house while it happens. Cars, windows, roof tiles, plants and your neighbor’s driveway come out the way they went in, and the site is clean every evening. Your weekend is not a job site.
- Someone specific answers for the result. The founder walks the finished project and signs off on it, so there is a name attached to the work and a person to talk to about it.
Then We Painted It: 3 Steps From Render to a Summit Pointe Walkthrough, Each Seen First
For the Gallaghers, the color came first and the rest followed — the details, the finish, the last touches — each seen on their own house while it could still change. A Summit Pointe project runs the same three steps, with gate clearance for the crew and deliveries arranged in advance and materials staged on your property.
The 2-Year Warranty Sits in Your Summit Pointe Estimate, Beside the Prep It Depends On
The 2-Year Warranty covers labor and materials and is printed on the itemized estimate you sign. On a house three decades from its original finish, the preparation behind it is listed on the same page: cracks floated back to the texture, bonding primer where the old coating has chalked, and two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Duration. If something covered fails within the warranty period, VIP Home Painting comes back and puts it right.
