Joseph Eichler’s company built more than 11,000 homes between 1949 and 1966, most of them in Northern California. Sacramento has a small group of its own: the South Land Park Hills (Eichler) Historic District, 48 homes on South Land Park Drive, Fordham Way and Oakridge Way, built in 1955 and 1956. The city adopted the district’s plan on May 21, 2024.

Can I repaint an Eichler in Sacramento’s historic district?
Usually yes, without design review. The district plan lists “re-painting your home, including repairs associated with painting, including minor like-for-like trim or siding repairs” among projects that are typically exempt, and asks owners to check with city staff that their project is. Check before you start: the city’s building permit page also notes that its painting exemption doesn’t automatically apply inside a preservation district.
What N Style brings to an Eichler
N Style’s own description of the service: keep the look of the house and respect the original architecture, with precise finishes. In practice that’s the same written process the crew uses on every exterior: wood scraped, sanded and primed, joints caulked, trim brushed by hand, and a walkthrough with you at the end. See how N Style paints an exterior.
Picking colors for a mid-century house
“Nick and his N Style crew did a marvelous job painting the exterior of our 1960 home. What separates Nick from other painters is his knowledge of paint and paint colors. He helped us to select the right color combinations to achieve the look we wanted.”
