Does Your Commercial Painting Contractor Offer Carpentry? (They Should!)

Does Your Commercial Painting Contractor Offer Carpentry? (They Should!)

Our society is built on the specialization of labor, which is a good thing in many ways. For example, barbers no longer do tooth extractions on the side… we have dentists for that! That being said, here at MB Jessee, we believe that a commercial painting company needs a dedicated carpentry division. Why is that a commercial painter should also do carpentry? We have several good reasons.

Commercial Painters Often Discover Carpentry Problems

Attention to detail is one of a commercial painter’s most important attributes. As we prepare an area for painting, we carefully clean and examine each surface. In many cases, this means we are the first ones to uncover areas where exterior wood has begun to fail:

  • Window trim
  • Handrails and bannisters
  • Doors and door trim
  • Decks and porches
  • Victorian columns
  • Stairs
  • Fascia
  • Siding

Because we have a dedicated carpentry team, we can make sure these issues are properly remediated before your commercial painting happens.

Carpentry Delays Can Cause Painting Delays

If there is any carpentry that needs to happen on a commercial painting project, whether it be exterior wood rot repair, interior molding installation, or other similar issues, this needs to happen before the painting. Having a commercial carpentry division under our same roof allows us to move quickly to take care of these matters. That way, the painting is not delayed by waiting for another carpenter.

The Whole Project Bears the MB Jessee Name

Many commercial painters rely on subcontractors to handle carpentry issues, but here at MB Jessee, we like to keep it all in-house. Quality assurance is one of the biggest reasons for this. When our carpenters do the carpentry and our painters do the painting, we can confidently stand behind our work with an industry-leading warranty.

On the other hand, if the carpentry is done badly, our painting will not last. Shoddy woodwork can’t be fixed by great painting, and the client is the one who suffers.

Customer Reviews

“The finish on my kitchen cabinets had failed, becoming tacky and grimy around the handles. M B Jessee gave me a reasonable quote, far below some others, and did an outstanding job, striping the original varnish and refinishing with a new lacquer finish. The cabinets look like new. Work was done 1 day faster than estimated. The crew was extremely hard-working, considerate, and neat. Highly recommend M B Jessee.”

“In all the years I've worked with MB Jessee, I'm always so impressed by your crews. They are so respectful of everything--you never even know they're there! Except that the paint looks amazing when they're gone. We've had one showing of our home and already have an offer. I'm sure it is because the paint looks so beautiful.”

— Erin T.

“The entire MB Jessee team is courteous, efficient and professional. From scheduling and estimating to the crew managers and crew, they all did an excellent job on a small (but complicated) two room project in my house. I'm already thinking about getting them scheduled for the next project in the spring.”

— Cari Cheney

“I just wanted to send you an email to say that John did such a great job over here today. He is truly a hard worker. He has the perfect balance of friendliness, honesty, and professionalism. I trust him. He takes the time to do the job to the best of his ability and that is what sets him (and your company) apart from the competition. He didn't make me feel rushed. He really made me feel like our job was the most important thing in the world. Thanks again!”

“MB Jessee just finished our exterior and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The foreman (Pedro) and lead painter (Ricardo) were incredible to work with: they communicated scheduling clearly, Ricardo was a joy to be around every day, the showed up early every day, were incredibly tidy and did great paint work. The final walk through experience was incredible. Pedro pointed out items I missed demonstrating a clear desire to complete another quality project. I highly recommend them. As others have noted they definitely aren't the cheapest but you quickly realize that you're getting what you pay for. The 3 year guarantee is also a nice touch since there are likely touch up items that will show up after the job is done.”

— Joshua Jansen

“The painters at MB Jesse are top notch! Cesar's team was super friendly and helpful. They were very polite and accommodating. Their expertise in everything painting related was evident in their attention to detail and efficiency painting tricky spaces. The apartment looks brand new!”

— Adam Swisher

“Today I received a beautiful bouquet from your company. It was totally unexpected and very much appreciated--a lovely surprise. Also today, your crew finished my job. I am so pleased with all their fine work. Richard is absolutely amazing and a total delight to work with. He was also extremely helpful during the paint color process. The interior work in my home far exceeded my expectations. A big thank you to you and the crew for an outstanding job. Thank you, thank you for a terrific job!”

“The people at M.B. Jessee are great – from the painters to the office staff to Matt. Talk about leadership from the top.”

— Kevin Ames, Mark Becker Homes

“It was a great experience working with MB Jessee. The crew was careful and thorough as they painted the house, sealed stucco cracks, repaired dry-rotted wood, stained the deck, etc. Robert, Gersson, Jose, and all of the people involved in the process from the estimate to the job completion were friendly and professional.”

— Mike C.

“Hello Matt,Just another notice of thanks to your wonderful crew, Rigoberto, Javier and John. They did fantastic work, with Rigo providing meticulous and conscientious attention to the details and excellent woodwork finishing, as evidenced by the beautiful fireplace. Javier did a fantastic job in the bathroom especially, it looks "brand new," and John always does quality work, both with the interior and exterior. I can tell they care about what they do. Rigo's "punch out" was very thorough, too. I will call again when I need some more work and will definitely recommend your company and fine crew. I also felt as a homeowner, I could leave my house in their good hands during the day and that took a lot of worry from me, they were honest, prompt and reliable. They were also very kind, respectful and clean in their work, very professional. Thank you.”

He is a great guy in addition to his attention to detail in his work, the protection of our floors, walls and furnishings, and his overall interaction with us both. I would be pleased to recommend him to any of my clients.”
