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.

“Very easy to work with, they did an outstanding job with our project of re-painting our painting our kitchen cabinets. Given the scope of the job and that our kitchen is roughly half of our upstairs living area they did a fantastic job of minimizing the mess. Workmanship was top notch, would definitely recommend.”

— Vince Scola

“Charles finished yesterday and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed meeting Charles and having him in our home. 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.

“Matt, Julie & Ricardo, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the three of you for the wonderful job you did in hosting the SFBA NARI Chapter Meeting on Wednesday evening. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Members and guests alike walked away with a truly positive experience. The "painter for a day" and the cookies in the paint cans were an absolute brilliant touch and received rave reviews. What a wonderful way to do such positive marketing. Thanks again for a truly memorable experience for our members and guests. You are valued as a NARI member.”

— Judy Tufo, SFBA NARI Executive Director

“Everyone I dealt with was nice, helpful, and very professional. The price was reasonable! (I didn't feel like I was getting the "San Francisco price." The attention to detail and work quality was excellent. They did what they said they would do in the exact timeframe they said they would do. Highly recommend!”

— Tim Tyson

“I love the article in the paper on your company. Thank you for supporting our community by painting at the Claremont Middle School. Thanks!”

— Carla Banks

“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.”

“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!”

“Dear Matt,You must be so proud of your men! They were fantastic to have around. Polite, courteous and hardworking. I am so pleased with the outcome of our home--in fact, I couldn't be any more pleased than I am!”

“In September, MBJessee finished painting two sides of our 3-story condominium building (six owners). We were impressed by the professionalism of the company and every one of its workers, Matt Jessee couldn't have been more helpful in planning the project. His painters were well-trained, easy to communicate with and eager to please. In addition to painting the stucco, they made extensive repairs on windows and frames, which will save us considerable money in the future. They finished earlier than anticipated, with as many as five men working on the job, and the scaffolding came down the next day. All of us were delighted with the results. Now my husband and I are looking forward to having MB Jessee paint our own apartment later this month. Matt and Gustavo (who will be our crew leader again) have explained how they will work to make the painting proceed smoothly while we're living here, and they have been endlessly patient with our protracted decision-making process. If you look at their website, you'll learn that MB Jessee is an exemplary company that takes good care of its workers as well as its customers, and contributes public service projects to the community. All in all, we can't recommend MB Jessee highly enough.”

“Just had MB Jessee paint the interior of our house and they did a wonderful job. They tackled some crazy wallpaper as well as painted some very high ceilings and walls. The whole process was quick and they did a great job! We are very pleased. I was also very impressed by the crew. They were very personable, kind and actually took pride in the work they were doing. In one of our conversations with the lead Ricardo, he actually told me he was very proud of how the rooms had turned out. I agree sir! It turned out great and it's not often you hear someone thinking of your home like they would theirs, and putting that level of work and quality into it. That made a huge difference in how I viewed this company. Ricardo, you were fantastic and thank you for the great job, we will be using you again.”
