Painting a 157 Year-Old Home in Winters with Farrow & Ball Paint

 Painting a 157 Year-Old Home in Winters with Farrow & Ball Paint

Project Spotlight

Brooks Painting just wrapped up a 5-week project painting the interior of Park Winters. This home was originally built in 1865, and it still maintains a lot of the original charm. We were hired by SNW Construction in conjunction with the owners of Park Winters to work on this project while the venue closed down from Christmas until the end of January. It's a very popular and beautiful wedding venue, and boutique bed and breakfast in Yolo County. We were honored to have been trusted with this 157 year-old home, and we were excited to add this project to our portfolio.

What started as a smaller project, quickly morphed into painting the entire inside of the historic home. The owner requested we use Farrow & Ball paint for this project. Farrow & Ball is a British manufacturer of paints and wallpapers largely based upon historic color palettes and archives. The company is particularly well known for the unusual names of its products. This was our first time using this paint, and it was a pleasure to work with. The colors are rich and have a depth that is simply amazing. This paint brand is not readily available as their only local store is in Berkeley. However, the staff was easy to work with, and we easily got our paint shipped to the job site in three days.

Our Crew Leader, Mark, did an amazing job balancing the growing scope of work, added staff, and other trades. With the venue being closed for just five weeks, we had to efficiently work alongside many other trades during throughout the project. It is not an easy task to have a nice paint finish when others are creating dust or are in your way.  Mark handled the stress with poise, and he and his crew produced a quality paint job.

Chris and Gabriel were amazing. Corey was patient and helpful in answering questions and while I decided on colors. The office was easy to contact and had good follow-through. Thank you so much to Brooks for a job I could not possibly be happier with. Feel free to use me as a reference!

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!

The crew is as neat and reliable as the actual painting job and paint used. No boom boxes!! Cordial staff spoke English. The crew got along with each other and worked as a team. The actual finish is / was beautiful. We would like to use Brooks again!

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.

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.

They treat their employees in a fair manner resulting in happy workers. Company is well run. I really like the crew that was here, they were very comfortable to have around.

Pat H.

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

Dale S.

Very professional. Painters were very accommodating on the little things.

Claude V., Dixon

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.

Consummate professionals! We hired Brooks to repaint the exterior of our house, and they did a fantastic job. The paint looks wonderful, everyone was also on time, friendly, and respectful of our property. Exceptional communication through the entire process. I was worried about damage to the landscaping near the house (bad previous experience with another outfit), but they were all very understanding and the crew was super careful. Did what they said they would do with no weirdness, no smoking, no radio, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely. This picky customer is very happy!
