Stroke & Kote Painting

Introduction: Yes, there is a huge difference between a cheap painter and a quality paint job that lasts. And it's a difference that makes Stroke & Kote customers in Marin County very happy, Looking for a local house painter in Marin County can be confusing. Most of us focus on color choices and oil-based or water based paints. But what do painters focus on, and what makes them different from one another? What constitutes a good paint job or a bad paint job? For 40 years, Stroke and Kote Quality Painting Contractors in San Rafael CA has provided a definitive answer to this question, "It's the prep work. Of course, you also have to know how to apply paint and finishes, but if the painter hasn't prepped the surfaces properly, the job won't last. It may look nice when it's finished, but with a cheap, un-prepped job you'll begin to see bubbling, peeling and cracking. The problem is that you may not see it for 2 years, and then you'd have to pay to repaint all over again." Stroke and Kote Painting always uses oil-based primers on bare wood, he always uses less toxic low-VOC paints for interiors, and it always uses the more expensive elastomeric caulks for prep work, because he knows (from long experience) that they'll last for decades. "After 40 years of working at this level, we know the right processes, the right tools, the right materials, and the right brands. We can deliver the best job, and we know it. What's fun is when we hear from customers who know it too. One of our customers just told us, ‘I'm really glad I went with you because now I understand why you weren't the cheapest bidder.
