Meet the owner

Hi, I'm Abel.

I've loved painting since I was 18 — the process, and the moment a client sees their finished space.

With more than 15 years in residential and commercial painting, I built Red Barn on simple values: show up on time, protect your home like it's our own, communicate openly, and don't leave until you're thrilled. Every new project is a new relationship — and most of our work comes from those relationships.

Whether you need new colors, stain, custom finishes or repairs, our goal is to help you love your home that much more.

Red Barn Painting does amazing work! We hired them to paint an old home and were very pleased. Always on time, professional, and dedicated to craftsmanship. They cleaned up well at the end of every day. We'll definitely hire them again!

Where our name comes from

Ever wonder why old barns are red?

Long before paint stores, farmers had to make their own coatings to protect their barns. Many sealed the wood with linseed oil — an orange oil pressed from flax seed — mixed with milk, lime and, often, rust.

Rust was plentiful on the farm, it killed the fungi and moss that rot wood, and it made an excellent sealant. It also turned the mixture a deep red. When manufactured paint came along, many farmers kept choosing red to honor the tradition.

That's the spirit behind Red Barn Painting: practical, protective, built-to-last work — with a little bit of pride in how it looks.
