Company Story

Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for painting contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Valencia Painting &amp; Sons Inc., keeping clients happy comes down to one key factor: making sure they have a positive experience throughout every step of the painting process. “We care a lot about customer satisfaction—it’s always our first priority,” confirms co-owner Emelia Sanchez. “We really feel a connection with our clients, so we focus on solving their issues and providing them with amazing results.” Valencia Painting &amp; Sons has been providing interior and exterior painting services for residential and commercial clients in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties since 2013. In addition to its wide-ranging painting capabilities, the family-owned and operated company cleans gutters, stains decks and patios, performs dry rot repairs and seals surfaces to prevent future dry rot damage, and more. Unlike less experienced painting companies that make mistakes and simply paint over them, Valencia Painting &amp; Sons takes a detail-oriented approach on every job to ensure the best possible results. “For example, we make sure the wood we’re painting over is in good condition, and if it’s not, we’ll let the customer know and give them some options,” explains Ms. Sanchez. “Our careful attention to detail is the reason we’re able to offer a five-year warranty on all of our painting services.” To further differentiate itself from its competition, Valencia Painting &amp; Sons only hires expert painters who are trained to follow industry-best methods and techniques. “We really focus on training our employees because they’re the ones who go out to the jobsites and maintain relationships with our customers,” says Ms. Sanchez. “Beyond that, Jose [Valencia, co-owner] visits every jobsite multiple times throughout the project to make sure the work is going smoothly and everyone is happy.”

Q: What paint brands do you use? A: We use Kelly-Moore, Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore paints. Each of those manufacturers has different types of paint, so we’ll use whichever product is best for your job. Q: How long will it take to complete my painting project? A: It depends on a few factors, but we’ll give you a specific timeline once we know the details of your job. Depending on the size and scale, most exterior painting jobs take five to six business days to complete. If there’s any reason for a delay, we’ll let you know right away. Q: Will you be careful not to damage the plants around my home? A: We’ll do our best to cover trees and other plants that are near your home, but depending on the location and the weather, it can be difficult for us to have zero impact, regardless of how careful we are. Q: Will you protect my furniture? A: Absolutely. We cover all furniture (including outdoor furniture for home exterior projects) to prevent damage from overspray or drips. Q: Will you move items in my home? A: We usually don’t move pictures or anything that’s hanging because glass can break, so we ask that you move those types of items before we arrive to prevent damage. We also recommend that you move any heavy furniture toward the middle of the room. We’ll cover everything with plastic and brand-new canvas to prevent overspray. We’ll also cover floors, appliances and any other items that can be damaged. Q: Do you seal holes on the outside of homes before painting? A: We’re well-known for our waterproofing skills, and that means we apply caulking and seal up holes, corners, and other areas where water can get in. That prevents water damage, which a lot of homeowners are worried about because water can lead to damaged wood and dry rot. Q: Can you repair dry rot and other damage before you paint? A: We can repair small pieces of siding or trim before we paint, but major repairs are not in the scope of what we do. If large portions of your home have dry rot or wood damage, you’ll need to hire a contractor to make those repairs. If we find damage while we’re preparing your home to be painted, we’ll let you know and walk you through your options. Q: How often should my home be repainted? A: We recommend repainting before the paint starts peeling and chipping, and that varies for different homes and microclimates. Once we look at your home, we’ll be able to provide a specific recommendation for how long you should wait between paint jobs.

When it comes to working with painting contractors, only choose a company that guarantees its work. All paint jobs are investments, and nobody wants to waste money hiring a company that does substandard work or won’t back up its services. But once you’ve verified that your contractor is licensed and insured, what else can you do to protect your purchase? “Warranties are very important, so your contractor should tell you about your warranty and include it in your original estimate and contract,” says Emilia Sanchez, co-owner of Valencia Painting &amp; Sons Inc. in Santa Rosa. “Some people who say they’ll paint your home don’t have a license, which means they can’t offer a warranty and you won’t have any recourse if you encounter problems.” Why warranties are important Experts say you can expect a warranty from any quality painting company, and California law requires licensed contractors to provide at least a one-year warranty. Typical warranties cover paint cracking, peeling, bubbling and fading for a certain amount of time after the work is done. A manufacturer’s warranty can cover the paint itself, but that’s different than a contractor’s warranty—you also want a labor warranty that covers the application. If the product fails, some manufacturers won’t honor their guarantees if the work wasn’t done correctly in the first place. And even if they replace the product, if you don’t have a labor guarantee, you’ll have to hire another company to paint your house again, which basically negates the savings from the guarantee. A warranty in and of itself is a good thing, but the presence of a warranty can also assure you that you’ve hired a quality contractor. Companies that don’t offer warranties might use substandard materials, have poor preparation and application techniques, paint when the weather isn’t optimal or not apply enough product. But companies that offer valid warranties are more likely to do a good job because they don’t want to come back and do warranty work. So, your warranty may act as a kind of double insurance—proof that the contractor will do a good job and come back to repair the work if they didn’t do it correctly the first time.

SANTA ROSA — Some homeowners think power washing the exterior of their home is a bad idea because it can damage the paint job. This concern is warranted, as power washing can very well cause damage to house paint. At the same time, power washing can also renew and protect a home’s paint job. The difference is in who you choose to perform the work.
A power washer can be used for different applications, including cleaning or stripping paint off of a home exterior. The latter application is often done as part of preparation for a new paint job. However, even if you aren’t planning to repaint your home, power washing can still be worthwhile. First of all, it’ll help keep your house paint looking new. Additionally, it’ll wash away mold, mildew, dirt and other substances that, given enough time, can potentially damage the paint. In a nutshell, power washing keeps a home looking good and the paint in good condition. That’s why I recommend having your home power washed every two to three years after painting.
Things can go wrong with power washing when the person operating the equipment doesn’t know how to do it properly. If you hire an inexperienced person (or try to do it yourself), your house paint can definitely get damaged. That’s why it’s crucial to hire someone who has the experience and knowledge to power wash your home exterior without harming it.

<h1>Jose Valencia: Painting Passion</h1>
<h6>By James Florence, Diamond Certified Resource Reporter</h6>
SANTA ROSA — For Jose Valencia, a successful career as a painter is the result of a passion for the trade. “I first started painting in 2005,” he recounts. “I had a friend who was a painter and he invited me to work with him. Right away, I liked everything about painting, from the fine workmanship involved to the transformation of the completed job. I decided that I wanted to become a great painter and immediately focused on improving my skills. I didn’t care about the money or that I was working almost every day—I had a passion for the work and satisfying my customers.”
Today, as owner of Valencia Painting &amp; Sons Inc., Jose says his favorite part of his job is making his customers happy. “I love seeing the expression on a customer’s face when they see the finished product. Sometimes a customer will go on vacation while we do the job, and when they return and see it, they’re so happy because their house looks brand new. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
A resident of Santa Rosa (where he lives with his wife, Emilia, and their two young sons), Jose spends the bulk of his free time with his family. “I work a lot, so when I’m off, I like to be with my wife and kids,” he affirms. “I enjoy taking my kids to the park and going out to dinner as a family.” A big soccer fan, Jose also likes keeping up with his favorite teams, both south of the border (Chivas, Guadalajara) and across the pond (FC Barcelona).
Looking back on his career journey, Jose credits his success to simply doing good, honest work. “When I started my company in 2013, I had one employee besides myself,” he remembers. “The same year, I had to hire another guy because we got so busy. The next year, I hired five more. We were growing so fast and I didn’t even have any advertising! I think it just goes to show that good, honest work can be the best advertising.”
