CSPainting Inc Community Strength Painters
About us
Some customers ask how we chose the name Community Strength Painters. When we started CSP in 1998 we wanted to do more than just house painting. At the time our founder, Steve Pacheaco, was active on the board of Bellingham Big Brothers and Big Sisters and has a long history of working with youth organizations. Lead-based paint was the number one preventable health hazard to children and this remains the case today. One of our initial goals was to focus in on this national and local issue as there are so many homes in our community that have at least one under layer of Lead-based paint.

Colin and Brian were our main painters and were friendly, efficient and did a great job! Since we were getting things done in October, they did a good job of flexing their schedule based on the weather, including coming on the weekend to finish things up. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the quality of the work and the transparency of the process. We would definitely use them again!
We have several very large storm windows that likely hadn't been removed in years. The painters broke one trying to remove it and Steve appropriately paid for the repair. It was great not to have to argue about it!
"Thank you [member name removed] and thank you for your recent referral. Your trim color looks great by the way! Steve"
As was the case with the previous work cone for us, the surface preparation, scraping and priming and application of two finish coats was accomplished quickly and efficiently, and the final product looks great. The job was done in about half the time Steve estimated it would take, and since he works on a and quot;time plus materialsand quot; basis, the price was excellent. I don't even think about going out for bids when I have painting work to do: Steve is honest, thorough, produces quality work and is a pleasure to deal with. What's not to like?
"Wow! Thank you so much [Member Name].."
+ lots of labor scraping and sanding 2 sides of the house
+some repair work, a little of the repair had to be reworked after my inspection
+ last issue raised was overspray on glass railing - a week later they haven't got back to me
+overall the paint work was very good, they were considerate of my tenants, and they communicated any concerns to me
"Hi [member name removed], My apologies. I am not sure how we missed your first message regarding the small amount of over spray on your glass railing. We always try to return calls within 24 hours. I do know that Brian has been there to remove it. Thank you again for your business. Steve 360 441 0585"
"Thank you so much folks, I love the yellow you selected. It really sets off your flower gardens. Steve"
After they completed the job, I noticed a few spots that needed touching-up. Steve had a painter return to the house promptly to do touch-up.
Overall, except for the increase in price from the original estimate, I am satisfied and would use them again for future painting projects.
Steve's initial bid was accurate and realistic. Price was appropriate. The job was done in the agreed upon time frame.
I will certainly think first of this outfit for future painting needs.
Steve Pacheaco of CSPAINTING INC. and his painting crew did an extraordinary job painting the entire interior of our home. Steve was very prompt in responding to our inquiries and giving us a bid on the job. He bid the job giving us a 'winter discount' on the hourly rate and even passed on to us his discount on purchasing the Benjamin Moore paint. This alone saved us a lot of money. We had a number of questions along the way and a few changes here and there including splitting the job into 2 parts to accommodate the holidays and visiting family. Steve took all of this in stride and did what was needed to make us happy. His painting crew did an excellent job along with always being prompt and professional. Mike Emslie, who lead the crew, was the best. He is a top notch painter that works quickly while still paying attention to every detail. He constantly checked his work and if something didn't look just right he fixed it. What was even more impressive was the fact that if I saw something I didn't think was just right, Mike was more than happy to make it right. My wife and I were very apprehensive about having someone paint our home since I had always done it myself in the past. I am very particular and can be a pain in the behind at times, especially when I'm spending a lot of money to have something done. I want it done right and CSPAINTING INC. did just that . The house turned out beautifully and it saved me a great deal of time, work, and aggravation. I would recommend Steve and his company to anyone.
The crew was great - experienced, punctual, efficient, clean, thoughtful and friendly. The price was competitive, the job was started and finished when promised and the finished product is fabulous.
I had had two prior experiences hiring painters and both were nightmares so I was a little nervous about this job which was the first re-painting of our 10-year-old home. I am an avid gardener and have many plants abutting the house foundation. I had pretty much assumed that plants would be trampled during the painting process. Instead, the crew bent over backwards to be careful, without being asked, and did a fabulous paint job.
I watched Drew literally creep and crawl around my climbing hydrangea to paint the wall of the garage, and then help me entwine the akebia vine over one of the taller pergolas where he was painting and where I couldn't reach (he was also careful not to disturb the robin in the nearby nest). Micheal, the lead man on our crew, kept everything focused, yet was flexible when colors were changed at the last minute.
I will definitely hire Community Strength Painters again.
