Do you paint homes throughout Santa Cruz?

Yes. We serve Santa Cruz and the surrounding coast — from Downtown, Seabright, and the Westside to Live Oak, Pleasure Point, Capitola, Soquel, and Aptos.

Do you handle coastal salt air and moisture?

Absolutely. Santa Cruz homes take a beating from salt air, fog, and damp winters, so we prep thoroughly and use weather-ready coatings built to resist moisture and UV.

Are you licensed and insured?

We hold California CSLB License #1155142 (C-33 painting classification) and are bonded and fully insured, so your home and property are protected.

How do estimates work?

Ray visits your home, walks the project with you, and follows up with a clear, itemized estimate — no vague ranges or surprise line items.

Raymond was referred to me by my neighbor and I can't be happier with the result. Raymond came onsite for quote and gave detailed plans ahead of time so no surprise later on. Raymond and his team always showed up on time after the project started and finished the job on time too. Our project is to redo the garage floor and it looks beautiful now. Many thanks to Raymond's good job and highly recommend his company to others.

GJ Chen
