HOAs and property managers

An association board or property manager has to answer to owners and residents, so the paperwork matters as much as the paint. Our written proposal sets out the scope building by building or area by area, the prep steps, the exact products and colors, the number of coats and the timeline, which gives a board what it needs to compare bids and approve the work.

Many associations ask for proof of license and insurance before work starts. Our California license is CSLB #603312 (General Building and Painting), and we carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. You can check the license at cslb.ca.gov.

Offices, retail and multi-family buildings

Businesses and tenants keep working while the paint goes on, so the schedule is planned around them from the start. Tell us your hours, the areas that cannot close, and any access rules, and the proposal will set out how the work is phased. Damage found during prep, such as water-damaged drywall or rotted trim, is shown to you and quoted separately before any extra work.

Common questions from property managers

What types of commercial properties do you paint?

HOA and multi-family properties, office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, medical and dental offices, schools, and light industrial. We do not typically handle high-rise or specialty coating work.

Can you work off-hours to avoid disrupting our business?

Yes. Evenings, weekends, and phased schedules are common on commercial projects. We coordinate with your operations manager to minimize disruption.

Do you respond to formal RFPs?

Yes. Send the RFP through the commercial contact form or call directly. We provide detailed formal responses covering scope, materials, timeline, references, insurance, and pricing.

How do you handle tenant occupancy during multi-unit work?

We coordinate with property management on scheduling, notifications, and access. Common areas are typically painted first with clear signage. Individual units are scheduled around tenant availability.

What East Bay homeowners say about our painters

Quoted word for word from the platforms where they were posted.

“We just had Painting By Ken paint the exterior of three houses. The projects managed by Chris and the three crews did an outstanding job. They were thorough, professional and paid attention to detail. All three houses look great. I highly recommend Painting By Ken.”
Bob R., Concord · Yelp, Aug 2025
“Ken and Chris did a great job on our interior house painting! We were up against a tight time frame to get our painting done before our move in date. Ken was able to come out right away to give us a quote and his pricing was very competitive. His knowledge and experience he shared during the walk through sealed the deal for me. He was able to get a crew out very quickly and they got the job done within a week As promised. The team did a great job prepping the walls (were some cracks before but aren't there now) and Ken's recommendation on a shade of white was perfect. Will definitely be using Ken and Chris in the future!”
Jenn B., Walnut Creek · Yelp, May 2021
“I was on a tight schedule to sell my house and buy a smaller place. Received multiple bids to prepare my house for sale. ... I had about a week to get my house ready for sale - his team was like a well-oiled machine that split up the tasks and painted the whole house plus the kitchen cabinets in less than a week. ... Only took one open house to sell my house!”
Elizabeth C., Walnut Creek · Yelp, Mar 2017
