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, at the amount the manufacturer specifies, every single time, from single bedrooms, to whole houses, to whole apartment complexes.
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 us a note through the contact page and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

How we prepare and paint
Every job we take goes down in the same four stages. None of them is optional. This is the order of operations behind work that holds up in Inland Empire sun, 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.
Cut and roll, or mask and spray
Cut lines are clean and crisp, while the roll coat is thick and blended. Spraying involves more masking. It applies more and thicker paint than rolling, but gives the cleanest and straightest lines.
The finish that makes it last
We use the manufacturer specified amount of paint on all surfaces, which is what makes color even, sheen uniform, and the warranty honest. Stretching it is what my old employer used to do. It is the reason this company exists.

Straight answers
I noticed that it was standard practice for several companies to thin the paint with water prior to applying the paint. That was never something I could put my name on. These are the questions we hear most on walkthroughs. If yours is not here, call and ask.
☎ (951) 685-1595 Or write to us through the contact page and we will answer as soon as possible.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.
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 the manufacturer specified amount 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 have liability insurance and workman’s compensation insurance on every one of our workers. We hold a California C-33 painting and decorating contractor classification.
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.

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.
