We have had an amazing experience with PB painting! Jack was super knowledgeable and helpful during the beginning process And the project manager, Cameron was extremely on top of it and made sure everything went smoothly. Our painter Dan and his crew did an absolutely amazing job! We love it!

We were extremely happy with the work PB Painting did recently on our home. We had also posted an update on Yelp last month but wanted to repeat that review here: “We highly recommend PB Painting. The crew just finished painting our house and the whole team was a delight to work with – from start to finish. Our original plan was just to paint the house, but we quickly expanded the project to include garage. window frames, and retaining walls. We didn’t think they would be able to paint our aging window frames but they assured us it could be done — and they were right! The results are stunning and we couldn’t be more pleased. The team was efficient, professional and very accommodating. Communication with the team was excellent and everyone was enthusiastic and focused on making sure we were happy with the outcome. Special thanks to Jack, Santiago, Rhen, Jacob, Armando, and Francisco for their patience and excellent work.

Cameron and his crew were recommended to me by a mutual friend to paint my house.
I found it extremely pleasant to work with Cameron. I received a simple, easy to understand proposal, they showed up when they said they would and did a fantastic job.
They paid attention to detail and I felt they went above and beyond my expectation.
In a world where it’s sometimes difficult to find good service providers, it is really nice to work with Cameron.
I would recommend him and certainly use his services if I needed it again.
Thank you
Our Process
1
Consultation
We inspect your shed, building, or outdoor storage structure on-site. We review the material, condition of the surface, any peeling or fading, and whether the structure is wood, metal, or vinyl. We also discuss color options, including whether you want the same color or a new look.
2
Proposal + Agreement
You receive a clear written proposal outlining the scope of work, prep needs, products, timeline, and application plan for your shed and outbuilding painting project.
3
Cleaning & Surface Prep
We begin with thorough cleaning to remove dirt, cobwebs, mildew, and surface debris. Depending on the condition, we may use a power wash, pressure washer, or garden hose for lighter cleaning. We let the structure become completely dry and dry completely before moving to the next step.
4
Repairs, Scraping & Sanding
We scrape flaking paint, address peeling sections, sand rough areas, and use a wire brush where needed for rust on metal components. We also repair minor damage, apply caulk around gaps, and prep around doors, windows, siding, and trim.
5
Priming
We prime bare spots, patched areas, and problem sections with the right primer for the material. This may include systems for wood siding, metal sheds, or vinyl sheds. If a structure was built prior to modern paint regulations and lead paint may be present, we can test and follow proper safety steps for lead handling before work proceeds.
6
Painting Application
Once the surface is ready, our professional painter team applies the selected paint using the right tools, whether brush, roller, or spray in the best combination for the job. We apply a first coat, then a second coat when needed for better durability, appearance, and coverage. Many projects benefit from two coats and a final protective top coat.
7
Detailing & Final Walk-Through
We complete detail work around doors, windows, trim lines, and edges, then clean up dust, tape, and job materials. Before we leave, we review the finished shed painting work with you and confirm that the final coat looks clean and even.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you paint garden sheds and other outbuildings?
Yes. We provide shed and outbuilding painting for a garden shed, utility building, backyard storage structure, and similar detached spaces. We work on wood sheds, metal sheds, and vinyl sheds.
What types of sheds can you paint?
We can paint a wood shed, metal structure, resin or vinyl unit, and many other outdoor buildings. The prep and coating system depend on the material, age, and current condition of the surface.
How do you prepare a shed before painting?
We start with cleaning to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Then we scrape flaking paint, sand rough areas, repair minor damage, and apply primer where needed. Proper prep helps the new coat last longer.
Do you power wash sheds before painting?
Yes, when appropriate. We may power wash or use a pressure washer for deeper cleaning, or a garden hose for lighter jobs. The structure must be completely dry before we apply primer or paint.
Can you paint metal sheds?
Yes. We handle metal sheds and prep them carefully by removing loose paint, cleaning the surface, and treating any rust with scraping or a wire brush before priming and painting.
Can you paint vinyl sheds?
Yes. We can paint many vinyl sheds using the right paint and prep method. We assess the material first to make sure the coating is appropriate for the structure and expected outdoor exposure.
What is the best paint for shed painting?
The best paint depends on the material. We may recommend latex paint, acrylic systems, or in some cases oil compatible products depending on whether the structure is wood, metal, or vinyl and how exposed it is to the elements.
Do you use latex paint or oil-based paint?
We use both depending on the project. Latex paint and acrylic products are common for many exterior structures, while some older or specialty surfaces may benefit from oil based or oil-compatible systems.
How many coats do you apply?
That depends on the material and condition, but most projects receive a first coat and second coat for better durability and appearance. In many cases, two coats plus a finishing top coat provide the best long-term result.
Can you match the existing shed color?
Yes. We can match the same color when possible or help you choose a new exterior color for a fresh coat that complements your home, garden, and surrounding features.
What if my shed has peeling or flaking paint?
We scrape and remove flaking paint and peeling sections, then sand and prime the area before repainting. Proper prep is one of the biggest factors in how well the new finish will hold up.
Do you handle lead paint on older outbuildings?
If the structure was built prior to modern regulations and lead paint is suspected, we can test for lead concerns and follow proper safety procedures before work begins.
Do you paint shed doors, windows, and trim?
Yes. We paint doors, windows, trim, siding, and visible detail areas so the full shed or outbuilding looks finished and consistent.
How often should a shed be repainted?
It depends on the material, exposure, and previous coating, but most structures need a repaint when the finish begins to fade, peel, or wear down from sun, rain, and changing weather.
