Bob Patterson Painting is an owner operator company. We offer personalized service, including color consultation and solutions for problem areas. We do quality work with attention to detail, and paint each home as though it were our own with only the highest quality materials. We have a proud commitment to superior customer service and rely on our many satisfied customers for their referrals.

"Bob and his partner recently painted the exterior of my house and the work they did was simply amazing. My exterior was in poor shape and needed a lot of prep work. They brought it back to life in a way that I didn’t even know was possible. Bob’s level of communication was excellent. Both him and his partner showed up early and ready to work every day they were here. They worked so hard I almost felt bad because the temperature was in the 100’s each day they came. But they were always cheerful and upbeat even though I’m sure it was not a fun job given the weather conditions. Bob has been in the business a long time and his experience shows. He is honest, his pricing is fair, and he’s a genuinely good guy. I don’t think you could make a better choice when it comes to hiring a painter!"

"Excellent! I could not have asked for a better crew. JT, Shaun, Pedro and Kayla were my direct contacts and all were very professional. Western Pacific Roofing came to the rescue just before this last big rain. They were not prepared to repair my roof upon first observation, however, they were able to secure the exposed area so as not to allow further damage from the impending rain storms. We survived the rain, they returned the next business day after the rains. Roof is repaired and I’m completely satisfied with my overall experience. Western Pacific Roofing has become my go to company for all of my properties’ roofing needs..."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

Alternatives to gutter systems include rain chains and drip edges, which work to disperse rain coming off of your roof to a wider section of the ground to prevent erosion and pooling. These options aren’t standalone alternatives to gutters in all parts of the country because they don’t divert water. They’re often reserved for dry climates. On the ground, you can also opt for a drip path or French drain. These can serve as standalone alternatives, but they’re expensive and can detract from your curb appeal and usable yard.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Yes, many repair services include reapplying waterproofing and UV-resistant coatings.

Yes, usually you will need some kind of vapor barrier on the exterior walls when the framing is attached to concrete and masonry surfaces.
