Project Color 2025: Donating Our Skills To the Richmond Art Center

 Project Color 2025: Donating Our Skills To the Richmond Art Center

Here at MB Jessee Painting, “community” isn’t just a word—it’s a commitment, and one of our core values as a business.

One of the ways we live that out is through our annual Project Color Painting for Charity Giveaway. Each year, we donate our time and talent to a local nonprofit or individual who could use a little color—and a lot of encouragement. We’ve included videos below that showcase our last couple of charity painting projects, just in case you’d like to see more!

Giving Back Through Paint

For this year’s Project Color event, we were honored to give back to the Richmond Art Center, a space that has inspired countless Bay Area artists and creatives. With their landmark Time & Tide exhibition approaching—a celebration of the work of renowned artist John Wehrle—the timing was perfect.

We helped refresh two of the center’s key galleries, giving them a crisp, clean look just in time for the exhibit’s opening. It was more than a fresh coat of paint; it was about supporting art and ensuring the community had a vibrant space to gather and celebrate a local artist.

Painting with Purpose

Every Project Color event is a reminder that painting can do more than improve aesthetics—it can uplift, energize, and bring people together. Whether we’re working on a home, a business, or a nonprofit space like this one, our goal is the same: to use our skills to leave a lasting impact and legacy.

Customer Reviews

“I had my wooden kitchen cabinets painted white. Anabal and Danielle were doing the job. I have nothing but praise for them. They came on time, cleaned up every day, were respective, friendly and helpful. If the rest of Jessee's crew are as great as Anabal and Danielle, this company will go far.”

“I loved working with M.B. Jessee from start to finish on a relatively small paint job that grew a bit. I felt in very good hands from the moment Matt Jessee came out to give me the estimate and talk about my job. He was very easy to talk to and he handled my changes very well. Then the actual work done by Rigoberto and Mario was impeccable. They were neat and meticulous and the paint job looks beautiful. I could not have asked for more and when I did, they accommodated me 100%. I will not hesitate to call M.B. Jessee again and to refer them to friends.”

— Nancy Kurkjian

“I just wanted to thank you all for doing such a phenomenal job on our recent house painting. We are very happy with the outcome and can't say enough good things about the crew. Everyone working on the project was outstanding and made it a great experience. Thanks to everyone.”

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

“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

“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”

“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

“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!”
