These credentials apply to all residential and commercial projects across Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties.

  • Which communities in the North Bay do you serve?

If you are in one of these areas and need interior, exterior, commercial, cabinet, or deck and fence work, we can help.

  • Do you handle surface preparation as part of your painting services?

    Yes, surface preparation is built into every service we offer. For interior projects, that includes sheetrock repair, texture matching, smooth-wall prep, and trim and baseboard work. For exterior projects, it includes power washing, minor surface repairs, and proper masking. We treat prep as the foundation of a durable finish, not an optional add-on.

  • What application methods do you use for interior painting?

    We use both sprayed and rolled application methods depending on the surface, the finish type, and the scope of the project. Our team selects the approach that produces the best result for each specific job, whether that is a smooth wall finish in a Tiburon home or a full-home repaint in Mill Valley.

    We work with both residential and commercial clients. For commercial properties, we provide full interior and exterior repaints as well as targeted touch-up services for business properties throughout the North Bay. We schedule commercial work to minimize disruption to your operations.

We handle color changes and finish updates for kitchen cabinets and built-ins. Real photos of completed cabinet projects are available so you can see the quality of our work before committing.

  • Is power washing available as a standalone service?

    Power washing is currently offered strictly as a preparation step within our exterior painting service. It is part of the surface cleaning and prep process we perform before applying any exterior coating, ensuring the surface is properly ready for paint. It is not offered as a separate standalone service at this time.

  • How do I know the photos in your gallery are real completed projects?
