Why hire your painter for remodeling

Painters who also do full remodels

Painting By Ken holds a full CSLB General Building license (#603312), which many painting companies do not. That license means we can handle complete remodels across the East Bay from framing through final finish, not just the paint. Painting is the last trade on a remodel, and having your painter serve as general contractor means the finish work is the priority, not an afterthought.

  • CSLB #603312 General Building AND Painting
  • Painter as general contractor: finish quality prioritized
  • Single point of contact for the entire project
  • Fully insured for full construction scope
  • More than 50 years of local Bay Area construction experience

Detailed remodeling work

How a remodel starts

A remodel starts the same way as a painting job: a visit to your home to see the space and hear what you want to change, then a written proposal that sets out the scope, the materials and the timeline before any work begins. Damage found once walls or floors are opened, such as dry rot or water damage, is shown to you and quoted separately, and you decide whether to add the repair.

Because the painting and the remodel come from the same company, the finish work is planned from the start instead of handed to another trade at the end.

Common remodeling questions

Do you handle the whole remodel or just painting?

Both. Our CSLB #603312 covers General Building. We can handle a full remodel as general contractor, or work as the painting subcontractor on someone else's project.

How long does a kitchen or bath remodel take?

On average, a kitchen remodel takes 4 to 8 weeks and a bathroom remodel 2 to 4 weeks, depending on size and scope. Complex projects with structural changes can extend timelines. Specific project timing quoted in your proposal.

Do you provide design services?

When we paint your remodel, we help you choose colors and finishes. If you need color help on a project we are not painting, ask us; there may be a fee. For structural design changes, floor plan changes, or extensive customization, we coordinate with your designer or architect.

Can I live in my home during the remodel?

For single-room remodels (bath, kitchen), usually yes with some inconvenience. For whole-home renovations, temporary relocation is sometimes recommended. We discuss during the estimate.

What East Bay homeowners say about our painters

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

“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!”

“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
“We hired Painting by Ken at the suggestion of our Real Estate agent and we couldn't have asked for a better company or results. Chris did the estimate and work on our tight timeline. His crew worked on our new (new to us) house while we were on vacation. A few spots were missed and he sent a painter over immediately to fix those and everything looks great!”
