We specialize in full exterior paint jobs ONLY.
Because we have chosen to focus on being the best at full exteriors, we really aren't geared up to do small jobs like trim only, just doors or a fence for example. We can do these as part of a larger job.

35 years of painting experience and over 3,000 local homes painted.
Call today and find out why 80% of customers I provide estimates to, go with us.
I use my engineering background to provide both an analytical approach for generating your estimate and deciding on the appropriate materials for your job.
I'll take time to walk around your house with you and explain what you need and why. I will also explain what to look for when comparing bids so you can make an educated decision on which painter is right for you. I offer a real 2 coat paint job using quality paints, which results in houses that still look good a decade later. I also provide several other options to give a variety of price points. My estimates are detailed, not just "paint house" Payment due upon substantial completion.
I’m sorry we do not do interiors or service gig harbor, lake bay, fox island and other areas across the bridge.
Sorry, no interior painting
We do not service Gig Harbor and the other side of the bridge. We are unable to do small jobs like exterior touchup, one wall only or just sheds.
We do decks as part of a whole paint job only.
Thanks for understanding :)
Jerry was awesome to work with. He was prompt in replying to my request for a bid and he came out the next day. He was very knowledgeable and gave lots of pricing options. He was very thorough and answered all of our questions. His team was professional, detailed, and got the job done in record time while provided in a quality paint job. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a professional team and a top quality paint job.

Very well. We were unable to be home while the work was done and it was completed as outlined in the bid and with attention to detail. You can tell the two coats of paint were properly applied with drying time in-between. They were true to their representations.

We received three bids for this project and chose Jerry for the following reasons: His recommendations for us during the walk- around, the quality of paint and the process his team utilizes to ensure a superior outcome, the experience level of the staff confirmed for the project, and the fair estimate of time required to complete the project and the fixed fee pricing. The quality of the work was exceptional, the work area was left clean and tidy at the end of every day (inside and out), and even though the wood soffits required considerably more work than estimated, Jerry personally spent several days on site working on them to ensure the final result was exemplary, for no extra cost. We highly recommend Jerry for his courteous, professional and high quality staff and personal service standards!
Description of Work: This painting project was one of the final steps in an extensive outdoor kitchen and backyard construction project, where we worked with a primary contractor, numerous sub-contractors and approximately 100 tradespeople over the course of nine months. The project included complete exterior house painting of siding, shakes and trim; the sanding and staining of wood soffits (which were in very bad condition), and interior painting of walls, woodwork and ceiling in the kitchen area which was impacted during the expansion project.

Jerry and his crew did first rate work. Never having painted the exterior of my Old Tacoma home (not since I've moved in), I didn't understand the intricacies of painting an old home with a different siding than the current siding available in new homes. Jerry was able to suggest not only the best colors for this type of home and weather conditions, but the specific type of paint that would last the longest in our wet Pacific Northwest. The job was done both quickly (the painting began on the first nice day following our agreement) and was completed within a few days. There was rain following the first day of painting and a little of the paint dripped making for an unsightly line in the wall. I left Jerry an email then followed up the next day with a call only to find out that his men had come early that morning and fixed the drip. The house has now been painted for a few days and it looks excellent! I couldn't be happier and would recommend Jerry and his crew to anyone. I have a fairly large exterior and found Jerry's pricing very competitive.

I've done roughly 8,000 estimates in my career and missed 3 appointments, 2 of which were due to a software glitch allowing people to overwrite existing appointments with online scheduling. I am so sorry you slipped through the cracks. In my case I caught a bug and was super sick for several weeks and honestly missed that I hadn't provided you a bid. It is poor form to not get back to the customer. There is nothing more frustrating than having a bunch of people out and then no one getting back to you.

Received a good bid from Jerry, with flexible options. Work started on schedule, with a couple of weather interruptions, and job was completed quickly. Communication was great, and we're really happy with the finished product. I feel that Jerry went beyond expectations, and was very conscientious about completing the job right.

Everything went very well. All questions answered, work started within days of contract being signed. The work continued everyday except Sunday and was completed within a week. The equipment was always put away at the end of each day and completely at the end of the job. My husband and I are very happy with the way our home looks.
Description of Work: We had O Shea's completely paint the exterior of our house. Jerry gave us a complete project listing of what would be done and a specified price. The price included everything to include all labor. There were no extra charges. We had two different colors on the siding and the trim color. The porch, ceiling, railing, trim around all windows and doors were painted with the appropriate color.

Response from O'Shea's Painting
Thank you so much for your review. You two were a pleasure to work for. Price vs value for that price is a hard thing to zero in on. We are actually one of the better values on Angie's List. The majority of painters use "15 year" or lower paint on the siding and trim. We use "25 year" on the body and a "lifetime" paint on the trim. Keep in mind that the paint won't actually last that long, but it is a indicator of quality. The other thing that can make us cost more is that we actually do a real 2 coats of paint, most painters do not. Everyone says 2 coats on their bids, but the reality is most are 1 coat with a touch-up or quick fogging of paint to create a uniform appearance. This saves on labor and paint but costs you several years in the life of your paint job. At $6,000 your paint job was a little more expensive than average because we did a full prime plus 2 coats of paint. We also used Peel Bond primer on your weathered trim to help prevent future peeling and improve its looks. Thanks again for your business and the review

Can't say enough great things about Jerry and O'Sheas Painting. I am an out of state home owner and needed someone to paint my rental property in Tacoma, Wa. From the start Jerry was professional. He was articulate about the process and clearly explained the process. He recommended top quality primer and paint but gave me options to save money. I recently visited the house and was pleased with the job he did. I could tell that the paint was applied just as he had described. Proper sanding and preparation made for an top quality job. I am very pleased and would use OShea's again on other properties I have in Tacoma, Wa.

I'm editing this review. I had been critical earlier because I had not received the estimate after his initial visit--there was some sort of email glitch and I was not the only one affected (see his reply below). So I'm going to amend my review. Jerry clearly cares a lot about his reputation and work; he saw my review here and followed up with me immediately so we could get things straightened out--which I really appreciate. His bid was very reasonable--there are plenty of cheaper bids out there, but he clearly aims to do an outstanding job, and I'm sure he does. Unfortunately, during the email confusion I hired someone else, but Jerry offered me additional tips to make sure I get the most from that job. I realize that as a small company, Jerry has to do everything himself and that this is a busy time of year. I'm still sad that our miscommunication means he won't be painting my house; he's by far the most impressive professional I've met and put far more time and thought into looking at my house than the other painters I spoke with. I hope he gets the email wrinkle figured out, because he's clearly a conscientious and professional guy. I'm definitely going to call him for my next painting job.
Description of Work: I called and Jerry was super friendly and responsive and came out the next day. He spent 45 minutes or more checking the exterior of my 1911 house. He was obviously incredibly knowledgeable and discussed with me several options for trim, what to look for in my other bids, and other issues to watch for. He was professional, informative, and obviously detail-oriented and careful about his work, and I was excited to have someone so highly rated do the job.

Hi [member name removed], of course I care about your business. I sent you your estimate about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I recently discovered many of my emailed bids weren't making it to customers. One customer that didn't get my bid ended up having already went with someone that was $2000 more on a big house, but it was too late. They had already started the work. I tried to reach all my previous bids, but unfortunately yours was one of the few that I forgot to write down your phone number. I do admit that my bid was obscenely late, regardless. As a small company I have to prioritize providing "A" rated paint jobs over landing new work. Keeping existing customers happy while servicing potential customers painters is a difficult balance. I'm trying to get bids out ideally in under 3 days. Sorry your experience was not up to either of our standards.

It's so nice to work with someone that is dependable, honest and professional. Jerry was always here when he said he would be and if he was going to be late, he called me. He always answered my e-mails quickly. Jerry pressure washed my barn and he and his crew finished preparing, priming and painting in one day. My barn looks like new! They did a great job of cleaning up all paint chips and carefully covered and protected all other surfaces. I will definitely be calling again when I need more painting done.

Outstanding JOB! After completion looked like a different house. All the neighbors commented on it. Superb painting company and and great to work with, start to finish. Jerry Bauer was on top of things,on time, professional and personable during the free estimate and throughout the job. He did what he said he would do and was most responsive/helpful. Jerry also really knew his stuff. He mentioned considerations about the painting process, type of paint, prep etc that other estimates we had done did not cover as thoroughly/clearly. That was impressive; he actually listened, thought about our questions and carefully considered the answers he provided. A pleasure to work with and I had/have confidence in what he said. Prep was great Sprayed on a mildew removing solution first, then pressure cleaned the house. Amazing how ALL the dark mildew was removed. Let the house dry out a couple days, then began painting section by section, just in case the weather did not hold. Prior to painting, checked the moisture of the siding with a gauge each day. Also avoided painting when it was too hot, In other words had a plan and worked to it. Meticulous attention to detail in the painting of the house, trim and details. And put on TWO full coats! I don't know how they did that with NO drips, paint on anything but what they were painting. Amazing. Clean-up was complete each day and after the job was done. Thank YOU O'shea's!!

Original estimate response time was quick and very fairly priced. He was able to start the job within 3 weeks and work around our schedule. He was responsive to a couple of changes we requested mid-job and adjusted the price accordingly at a fair rate. Jerry's paint crew was extremely respectful of our private residence and cleaned up daily. The exterior was pressure washed, sealant applied where needed, caulking done where necessary and two coats were sprayed and rolled on. The house looks fantastic! We highly recommend O'Shea's and would not hesitate to hire again.

If there is any work preventing you from providing an "A" on quality please let us know so we can fix it for you. We were there 6 days for 134 man hours on a job bid at 120 hours. The extra 14 hours, that were provided at no additional cost, all went into prep to provide a quality finished product. A typical paint job takes about a week to complete.

Jerry was able to schedule us right away and the job was done fast and very well. I'd painted the house myself last year and did a terrible job. I used the wrong paint. The crew was a father and son and they sprayed and rolled a second coat and fixed all the mistakes I made. The house looks much better. They even primed one side where we added a retaining wall and splashed concrete on the siding. This prime coat was suggested by Jerrry. I have not seem a drop if overspray on anything or a missed spot. As I said, they cleaned up every scrap when they left. I've had subs leave pop cans , wrappers, cigarette butts but these guys were perfect. The price was great too. Jerry is busy so sometimes it takes a bit of time to get in touch. We've used email which works well. I'd highly recommend this business.

Outstanding service & workmanship from start to finish - my home looks beautiful!! I chose O'Shea's LLC as a local operation with consistent A ratings on Angie's List (with 31 great reviews in last 2 yrs) - plus a 10% discount coupon. I submitted a scheduling request thru Angie's List & literally within 2 minutes received a phone call back from CEO Jeff Bauer. Wow, impressive!! (Knows how to leverage technology too). Jeff was thorough & helpful during appt. I knew the job would not come cheap, but he worked with me to bring down original estimate by at least 25% (by opting to not paint concrete retaining walls separate from house, ceiling in carport, or hidden beams on underside of balcony etc & by minimizing use of accent colors). Also very helpful with colors & types of paint & stain used. I was flexible about when to start, but Jeff paid attention to weather & had his staff out here at 1st sign of perfect stretch of weather. His painting staff were superb! Courteous, quiet, & expert at their work, not a drop of spilled paint, everything done with mathematical precision. Not used to seeing people take such pride & care with their work - these guys were masters at their craft. They also worked incredibly hard - pressure washed on Monday, 2 days to dry (when cloudy), then painted Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, finishing up with doors & trim on Mon. Even the one small error that occurred was handled with courtesy & professionalism (small length of fence mistakenly partially stained). No problem - Jerry said he'd fix it or replace the fence - but pressure washing took care of it just fine (to be followed up with transparent stain later) Wow, I love my home!! Way beyond what I expected or even envisioned - colors are perfect, workmanship is flawless, plus great customer service from start to finish. We should all support excellent local businesses like this. Many thanks to Jeff & O'Shea's LLC, his great staff & Angie's List (I never would have found them without Angie)!

It was a pleasure working with CertaPro Painters from start to finish of the project. We decided late in the season to do the painting project. The weather in Washington State with the ever threat of rainy conditions was not our friend and delayed the estimated completion by about 10 days. CertaPro kept as informed and reassured us that the job would be completed with minor delays. The crew sent out was very professional, organized and kept the work areas clean. If a person wants a painter who is professional, a good communicator and uses quality product(Sherwin-Williams) please consider CertaPro

This estimate was about $2500 less than other high quality painters. They did a great job, kept me informed, and were able to do this sooner than anyone else. The work took about 4 days starting with pressure washing and ending with final trim and front door. At the end of each work day the site was thoroughly cleaned. I will definitely use Certa Pro again if I have other needs.
