Safety Matters At Brooks Painting

Safety Matters At Brooks Painting

At Brooks Painting we have safety payday meetings every other Friday. We do this for many reasons, but there are really 4 main reasons. The first is to make sure we train our guys on safety topics related to their jobs. The second is to make sure we stay compliant with OSHA laws and have a safety meeting every 10 business days. The third is to hand out pay checks, and the fourth is to have time with all our employees in one spot to talk about things going on within the company.

Safety meetings may be a foreign thing to a lot of people, but not to us. It takes time to think through and plan topics so they are not completely boring and are relevant to painting. Yes, this means coming up with 26 topics a year, from respirator fit testing to ladder safety. Many of the topics have to be repeated every year to keep in compliance with OSHA. So much about safety is common sense and that sometimes is the biggest problem. We get so caught up in our day to day routine; we forget about doing little things that are needed to stay safe. This is why it is critical to have safety meetings every 10 business days, so it stays at the forefront of our minds.

Why should a customer care about a painting company having a safety plan? I think it shows a lot about the company they are hiring. It shows they care about their employees enough to spend time & money training them to be safe. We spend at least $10,000 every year on safety training. It shows that the company follows the laws set by OSHA, and doesn’t cut corners. By not cutting corners in things the customer doesn’t see, means we won’t cut corners in things they can see.

Why is safety really important to us at Brooks Painting? The truth of the matter is I don’t want to live with regrets the rest of my life. If I had an employee get severely injured, lose a limb, or die, that would stay with me forever. Why risk the health and welfare of the people who work for me, it just simply isn’t worth it. Accidents do happen, even when you train, but with training the risks are greatly reduced.

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!

Bud was always available and extremely knowledgeable. He was always willing to go that extra step and also explain things thoroughly.

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.

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

Very professional, live up to their billing! [The] company was very cooperative, on top of everything. [They] followed through with their commitment.

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!

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.

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

Karen Boone

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.
