Exterior remodeling for Richmond, CA homeowners

Custom Exteriors has served Bay Area homeowners since 1997, and we now bring that same standard of work to Richmond, Point Richmond, Marina Bay, and the surrounding Contra Costa County communities. We install Infinity from Marvin windows, James Hardie fiber cement siding, and ProVia and Therma-Tru entry doors, exclusively. Our AAMA Certified Master Installers (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) are full-time Custom Exteriors employees, not subcontractors.

Why Richmond homeowners choose Custom Exteriors

Richmond's housing stock spans nearly a century, from the Craftsman and Queen Anne homes in the Point Richmond Historic District to the mid-century houses common through the Richmond Annex and Hilltop areas, to the newer waterfront properties in Marina Bay. That range matters when it comes to exterior remodeling: an older Point Richmond bungalow and a newer Marina Bay home don't face the same wear, and they don't call for the same approach.

A meaningful share of Richmond's homes were built before 1978, which means lead-based paint may be present in the existing siding, trim, or doors. Custom Exteriors is EPA Lead-Safe Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Certified. Before work begins, our team confirms whether lead-safe procedures apply and follows the required practices to protect the home, the homeowners, and our crew.

Richmond's proximity to the Bay also means homes face steady coastal moisture and wind exposure, in addition to the inland heat swings common across Contra Costa County. Materials that aren't engineered for that combination show it early: failed window seals, siding that absorbs moisture, finishes that fade ahead of schedule. It's the same reason we've built our product lineup around Infinity from Marvin fiberglass windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding for homeowners throughout the East Bay.

What we install

We specialize exclusively in exterior remodeling, no general contracting, no interior work, no builder-grade products.

Infinity from Marvin windows and patio doors

Fiberglass expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as the glass itself, so seals stay intact longer than vinyl across Richmond's shifting bay-to-inland temperatures. Multiple glass packages are available to meet California's Title 24 energy standards. Custom Exteriors is an Infinity Platinum Partner, the highest certification tier Marvin awards.

James Hardie fiber cement siding

Engineered through HardieZone technology for the specific climate demands of the Bay Area. It doesn't absorb moisture, it doesn't rot, and it's non-combustible. The ColorPlus factory-applied finish holds up longer than field-painted alternatives. Backed by a 30-year non-prorated product warranty and a 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty.

ProVia and Therma-Tru entry doors

Two premium brands, ProVia for fiberglass and steel, Therma-Tru for fiberglass, so Richmond homeowners have real options rather than a single line to choose from. One of the highest-return exterior upgrades for resale value.

What makes Custom Exteriors different

Full-time installers, not subcontractors

Our installers are Custom Exteriors employees, trained to our standards and accountable to us. If something needs attention in year three, the same team that installed it is still here.

AAMA Certified Master Installers

The highest installer credential in the window and door industry. Most installers, even experienced ones, don't hold it. Ours do.

29 years, 30,000+ projects, one company

We've operated under the same name since 1997. That track record is what stands behind the work in Richmond, not just a marketing claim.

Diamond Certified and BBB Accredited

Diamond Certified is based on independent customer satisfaction surveys, not self-reported reviews.

A physical showroom

Our showroom at 2142 Rheem Drive, Suite E in Pleasanton has full-size product displays, including side-by-side fiberglass and vinyl window samples. For Richmond homeowners who'd rather see the products in person before a consultation, it's about a 40-mile drive, under an hour, or we can bring samples and details to you during your in-home consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Does Custom Exteriors serve Richmond, CA?

Yes. Richmond is part of our Contra Costa County service area, alongside communities like Walnut Creek and Danville. We offer in-home consultations throughout Richmond, including Point Richmond, Marina Bay, the Richmond Annex, and Hilltop.

Is Custom Exteriors equipped to work on older Richmond homes?

Yes. A significant portion of Richmond's housing was built before 1978, and our team is EPA Lead-Safe Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Certified. Before installation begins, we confirm whether lead-safe procedures are required for your home and follow the appropriate practices throughout the project.

Do I need to visit the Pleasanton showroom before scheduling a project in Richmond?

No. Showroom visits are optional and by appointment. Most Richmond homeowners start with a free, no-pressure in-home consultation, where our team brings product samples and provides an itemized estimate.

Are Infinity from Marvin windows a good fit for homes near the Richmond waterfront?

Fiberglass performs well in coastal-adjacent conditions because it doesn't expand, contract, or corrode the way vinyl and some metal frames do over time. That makes it a common choice for homeowners in Marina Bay and other waterfront-adjacent parts of Richmond.
