☎ (951) 685-1595A letter from the man holding the brush
Dear Jurupa Valley neighbor,
I spent most of my working life painting for other people’s companies. Good crews, for the most part. But I watched one outfit stretch the paint on job after job, laying down half of what the spec called for and charging full price for all of it. I am a Christian man, and that never sat right with my conscience. A thin coat is a quiet lie. You cannot see it the day the crew packs up. You see it two summers later, when the stucco starts ghosting through and the trim chalks out early.
So I went into business for myself and made the rule simple: we do right by everybody. The paint the job calls for is the paint that goes on your wall. Full prep, full prime, full coats, every single time, whether it is one bedroom or a whole apartment complex.
There are about a hundred years of brush time spread across this crew now, fifty of them mine. We have seen every way a paint job can go wrong. That is exactly how we keep yours from going wrong.
With gratitude,
P.S. If you would rather put it in writing than call, send me a note through the contact page and I will get back to you the same day.

What a full coat actually means
Every job we take goes down in the same four layers. None of them is optional, and the last one is the one the shortcut shops skip. This is the order of operations that lets us put an eight to twelve year expectation on an exterior in Inland Empire sun and mean it, and it is the same sequence whether the job is a hallway or a hundred units.
Wash, scrape, sand, patch, mask
If the surface is not right, the best paint made will fail on it. We fix the wall before we ever crack a can, and we treat masking like finish work, because your floors and fixtures are finish work.
Primer everywhere it should be
Bare wood, patched drywall, chalky stucco, raw metal. Primer is what the finish coats hold onto, so it goes everywhere the surface needs it, not just where it shows from the street.
The first full coat
Laid down at the spread rate printed on the manufacturer’s data sheet. Not stretched, not watered down, not one heavy pass sold as two. You are welcome to count the empty cans.
The coat that makes it last
The second coat is what makes color even, sheen uniform, and the warranty honest. It is the coat my old employer used to skip. It is the reason this company exists.

Straight answers
These are the questions we hear most on walk-throughs. If yours is not here, call and ask the man who will actually be running your job.
☎ (951) 685-1595 Or write to us through the contact page and we will answer the same day.How fast can you get me a ballpark?
Usually while we are still standing in your driveway. We walk the job, measure it, and talk through what you want. Most of the time you get a number on the spot and the written version the next morning. The number we write down is the number we stand on.
What does a full coat mean, and how do I know I am getting one?
Every paint has a spread rate printed on its data sheet, so a given house needs a knowable number of gallons. We quote that number, we buy that number, and you are welcome to count the empty cans at the end. That is the whole trick. Most complaints about paint jobs trace back to somebody stretching material.
Do you handle repairs before painting?
Yes, and we would rather do them than paint over them. Drywall repair and texture matching, stucco crack repair, wood rot, caulking, popcorn ceiling removal, skim coating. Prep and repair make up about half the hours on a typical job of ours, which is exactly why the finish lasts.
How long should an exterior repaint last out here?
The Inland Empire sun is about the hardest test paint can face. Done right, with full prep and two honest coats of a quality exterior product, you should expect eight to twelve years depending on exposure and color. A thinned job in the same sun starts chalking and fading in three or four.
Are you licensed?
We hold a California C-33 painting and decorating contractor classification and carry insurance. Ask for the paperwork on the walk-through and we will hand it over before you sign anything, along with references you can actually call.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets?
All the time, and it is some of our favorite work. Doors and drawers come off and get sprayed flat for a smooth factory-style finish, boxes are masked and done in place, and we also stain, glaze, and refinish when the wood deserves to stay visible.
How far will you travel?
About 50 miles out from our shop in Jurupa Valley, which covers most of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The service areas section above lists the cities we work most. If you are on the edge of the circle, call anyway and we will figure it out.
