DYI Dilemma - Do it yourself or bring in a professional?

DYI Dilemma - Do it yourself or bring in a professional?

This year has been a different year for us all. 2020 has forced homeowners specifically stuck at home, staring at their walls, ceilings, trim, cabinets, or maybe even all the above. Some have decided to tackle the projects themselves, while others have sought out the help of professionals.

Which category have you fallen into? Do you have especially tall ceilings? Do you have so much trim, that the thought of cutting around it makes you dizzy? Did you try to paint the wall yourself and now you can't stop staring at the crooked lines and bleeding over of colors?

We have all been there. A truly professional paint job takes time and skill. It takes experience. And that is why Brooks Painting has been around for 24 years. Whether you are looking to have one-bedroom wall painted, or an entire home, we are here to help. We can even help you choose your color or colors. Give us a call and schedule your free consultation today (530)753-5074. We service Yolo, Solano, Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties. You can trust Brooks Painting to make your project beautiful and long lasting.

What a difference!! We hired Brooks Painting to do both an interior refresh painting and a completely new exterior color. Everything was handled professionally and as promised. The team, from estimator to office to painters on site, was responsive, friendly and skilled. Brooks Painting is the most reliable contractor we have ever hired. Thank you Jeremy, Dan, Israel, and Kristen.

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

They are on time! They show up! It was a big job and they were good and fast. Very nice guys.

I wanted to have my kitchen cabinets painted but knew that that was a job that required skill and expertise. I called Brooks Painting and the experience from start to finish was perfect! Everyone I dealt with was personable and good at their jobs. They spent time answering questions, explaining the exact process, and did the work precisely as promised. They even did a few other small jobs (repairing and painting 2 water damaged ceilings) to perfection. And everything was neat and clean when they left! And the cabinets – better than I could have hoped for. Esteban is a master craftsman who was meticulous in every aspect of his work. The finish is smooth as glass with no imperfections. I couldn’t be happier!

Brooks Panting Inc. just finished painting the exterior of our house. The crew did a terrific job. The house is a mid century modern with redwood paneling and an unusual amount of trim work. The Brooks crew was efficient, the quality of the painting was exceptional and the work was completed on time! Because of the age of the house several panels needed to be replaced. Brooks had the expertise to closely match the new paneling with the old paneling. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. They are professionals!

Daniel Dykstra
