Abel Espinoza started painting professionally at 18 and has been in the trade since 2009. He founded Red Barn Painting and personally handled every project — from estimates to repairs to painting — before building a full team of painters and project managers.

Yes. Red Barn Painting carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance for both residential and commercial work. Certificates of insurance are available on request.

Crews are typically 2 to 5 painters, depending on the size and complexity of your project. That keeps the work efficient without sacrificing attention to detail.

Crews typically work 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and plan each day to reach a clean stopping point before they leave. We're available on Saturdays and closed on Sundays.

Absolutely. Estimates are free, no-obligation, and remain valid for up to one year — so you have plenty of time to decide.

We look at the size of the area, the surfaces, the prep required, the number of coats and the products used. You get a clear, detailed quote that covers everything — no surprises.

A 50% deposit secures your spot on the schedule, and the balance is due when the job is complete and you're happy. You can pay by credit card through our emailed invoice, over the phone, or by check.

Yes. Let us know and we'll adjust the estimate. We'll just confirm the product is right for the surface.

Please remove breakables, decor, pictures and small items. We'll move and cover larger furniture and protect your floors.

We cover furniture and floors with drop cloths and plastic, and mask off everything that isn't being painted — inside and out.

Of course. We just need access to the work areas. Many clients go about their day as usual.

No problem — talk with your project manager and they'll adjust the scope, timeline and price with you before making changes.

We work Saturdays to accommodate busy schedules. We're closed Sundays.

Premium products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore (and Behr where it makes sense), matched to each surface — durable exterior coatings, scrubbable interior finishes and low-VOC options.

VOC stands for volatile organic compounds — chemicals in some paints that release fumes as they dry. We offer low-VOC and zero-VOC paints for better indoor air quality and a faster return to normal life.
