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

“Julie, by the way, I have never been so impressed with the service of a painting job before! It was like magical elves came and painted our walls without us having to do a thing! It looks amazing and just wanted to let you know how happy we are. Thanks”

“I cannot imagine finer painters--and I have worked with many. They work exceptionally hard. It is a joy to see their workmanship!”

— Alicia R.

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”

“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!”

“I want to express my thanks for a job well done. The rooms look great and there is no problem with any marks on the all the trim, floor, carpet, etc. The paint job is lovely. I also want to express my thanks for the level of professionalism the foreman showed in running the job. He was very attentive to any changes I needed to make, was extremely careful in getting the faux paint color and effect correct. Thanks so much for a job well done.”

— Suzan D’Arcy

“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. I would be pleased to recommend him to any of my clients.”

“We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the work of MB Jessee Painting and your employees. Everything turned out beautiful. Our foreman was great! He was punctual, professional, neat and very accommodating ... and went the extra mile. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family.”

— Michelle & Rivers Gee

“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.”

“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

“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.”
