        "text": "Exterior paint preparation in the Bay Area, especially in coastal cities like Pacifica or Daly City, requires specific considerations. High humidity and fog can lead to mold and mildew growth, necessitating thorough cleaning with appropriate fungicides. Salt air can also accelerate wear and corrosion, making thorough scraping, sanding, and priming of metal and wood surfaces even more critical. Additionally, varying microclimates across the Bay Area might influence the choice of primers and paints for optimal longevity.",
