Bringing Back a Beauty

Bringing Back a Beauty

You have an older home in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of peeling paint. Your neighbors are starting to give you dirty looks. So you realize that it’s time to bring your old beauty back to life. Now what?

The first thing you need to think about is the peeling paint. The original paint needs to be removed. If your home was originally painted prior to 1978, then you must remove the lead based paint using EPA standards and practices. Brooks Painting is certified for the safe removal of lead based paint, so we have the knowledge and skill to address the removal of the peeling paint. There are specific requirements that we have to follow, and we are careful and thorough in the removal of the potentially dangerous lead based paint.

The house in the photo was a recent project in downtown Sacramento. Our crew spent 5 days scraping and sanding, re-glazing old sash windows, and removing and replacing shutters. Then they went on to give this tired old home a beautiful fresh look. We kept the house gray, but this time, instead of black shutters and door, selected a deep plum for the front door and a lighter purple for the shutters. The patina on the copper downspouts that flank the house brought it all together to create a beautiful, fresh updated look.

The homeowner was ecstatic with the results and is excited to tackle the interior later down the road. She was so excited to show off her beautiful new home that she asked me to take photos and send them to her so she could post them on Facebook.

So if you’re lucky enough to have an classic older home, but is in need of the same kind of treatment, don’t despair. There are steps that Brooks Painting can take to revive your home. You can have the satisfaction of being able to breathe new life back into your home and know you are doing it safely.

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!

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.

Teri Greenfield

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!

Brooks Painting painted our home in Sacramento in March of 2022. Tim did a great job power washing our home. Corey, Flint, and Kristen were very helpful in the bid and. planning. process. The painting crew was excellent. Arrived on time each day and the project was finished in 5 days as promised. All worked very hard.

M Hawkins

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.

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.
