Proper Prep Painters

I originally met Gus with Proper Prep Painters in March, 2025. He was one of two companies to visit the house and quote the project. Wife and I decided to wait at that time and since then the chipping paint on our kitchen island and Primary bath cabinets continued to worsen. Thanks Perry Homes for choosing the cheapest paint allowed to get to closing.

Thankfully, Gus followed up from time to time. He came back out to make sure every detail past and present would be addressed to exact specifications and vision. Design and scheduling were a breeze.

Huge thanks to project manager Franklin and co-painter, Miguel. The dynamic duo was early every morning and kept me updated to the minute on arrival and departure throughout. The job was completed on time with top notch professionalism, courtesy, tips going forward and they treated my home as if it were their own. Gus was also in communication each day and personally stopped by end of each day to discuss the work and project progress. I know more about paint than I ever did before the good, bad and everything in between from these guys.

Im sure there are several great people at Proper Prep, but do yourself a favor and ask for Franklin and Miguel. You wont be disappointed.

Gus and his team did an excellent job in matching the paint on several different rooms in our house and matched it perfectly. They were very meticulous about keeping everything neat and tidy and got the work done right on time. Their prices were quite reasonable as well. I would highly recommend them.

After meeting with several painters, we decided to use Gus and the Prep Painters team. We were incredibly impressed by his extensive knowledge, his thorough presentation, and his competitive pricing. Additionally, we were struggling to decide on the best color for our walls, and Gus came to the rescue for us. He has outstanding interior designers who will come to your house and offer color suggestions. FOR FREE. Gus also ordered the peel and stick paint samples for us (also FOR FREE) so that we could look at the colors for several days before making a decision. His level of service and thoughtfulness is unparalleled. The painting process of our living/dining space was equally impressive - the painters were thoughtful, detail-oriented,courteous, and always willing to answer our questions. When they were finished, they returned all our furniture and lamps to their proper spaces. Additionally, Gus walked with us throughout the entire area, looking in every nook and cranny to assure that we were happy with their work. (We were!) We have other areas of our home that we need to have painted, and we will 100 percent use Proper Prep Painters!

Gus and his team did an excellent job taking care of our home. We had interior painting done, with various jobs such as trim/doors, walls, ceilings, drawers, cabinets and cubbies. Gus and his team were openly communicative with us and really cares about the final product. He always makes sure that we are satisfied with the paint job and follows through thoroughly with his work. If you are looking for a quality, reliable, hard-working crew, Gus and Proper Prep Painters are the people you want to take care of your home!

Gus and his crew were absolutely phenomenal! They painted my brand new house in less than a week and the quality is flawless. Super professional, efficient, and detail-oriented from start to finish. Couldnt be happier with how everything turned out highly recommend!

Fabulous work on my front door. Communicated throughout the process and delivered on all promises once again.

These guys knocked it out of the park thank you so much Franklin for a fantastic job and getting this done so quickly, Im amazed with your skill!

Gus and the crew were super attentive and careful with the details. Listened and corrected. Any issues noted throughout the entire process. Overall, a great job.

Gus and team did amazing! They were professional at every step - through the quoting process and actually painting. I could not be happier with how everything turned out! They provided updates every day, were on time, and finished on schedule. They also filtered out the fumes and cleaned up after themselves every single day. Very happy!!

I would highly recommend Proper Prep Painters! I tried painting my doors black myself and ended up with an uneven, ashy finish on several of them. I reached out to Gus, and he was a man of his word sent Klen and a helper right away. They did an incredible job: no mess, beautiful results, and my doors look brand new. I honestly regret ever trying to do it myself. Ill definitely be using Proper Prep Painters again and referring them for all my future painting needs!

What can I say but that this was one of the best, if not the best, contractor experiences I have ever had. I am a homeowner of over 40 years (six homes, five states), and we designed and built the home we've occupied for the last 10 years. I've had lots of contractor experience before ,during, and since we moved into our forever home.

Proper Prep Painters did a beautiful job: showing up on time, respecting the property, grounds, and outdoor spaces, while finishing on time. Daily inspections conducted by the management were helpful, and concerns were thoroughly addressed or clarified.

I highly recommend their services.

"From start to finish, Proper Prep team delivered professionalism in their work!They completed my interior project on time, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a bonded and insured painting company - they're the best choice!

This company did a wonderful job painting my kitchen cabinets. Gus, the owner, ensure the process goes smoothly and keep the customer informed every step of the way. I, also, give a shout out to the painter, Klen and his helper, for the outstanding job they did.

I have used Proper Prep Paint on two different projects and I feel as though I have a brand new house. Gus was very helpful and professional on my projects. Emily and Sloan gave me great designer and color advice. The painters Klen, Tony & Damien were professional, friendly and did a fantastic job painting. My last project is my kitchen cabinets in which I wont want anyone else but Proper Prep Painters.

Gus and his team did a great job. Very professional, great communication and customer service. I had them complete a small job but will have them back very soon to finish my entire house.

We couldnt have asked for any better service or performance. They did everything and more than they said they would do. The crew was always on time, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend this company for any homeowner who needs professional painting services at a fair and honest price.

Gus and Proper Prep Painters did an amazing job painting the interior of my new business. The work and service were outstanding, and the price was just as impressive.

I wish every vendor operated like Gus. He is professional, friendly, honest, and incredibly detail-oriented. His team mirrors the same professionalism and truly cares about their work and the customers satisfaction. From start to finish, it was an outstanding experience.

Highly recommend Proper Prep Painters!

Proper Prep Painters did an amazing job on painting my barn doors. The consultation was a very thorough and professional process. On the scheduled date, the painters arrived on time and ensured no clean was needed on the customers behalf. They also allowed me to inspect their work before they left. I would definitely hire them again for my next project.

Gus and his team went above and beyond our expectations. The project was reviewed and quoted correctly with great pricing. The team was very professional, timely, attentive to details and showed great care to the surrounding areas with proper masking and ventilation. The prep, painting and communication was exceptional. I would for sure recommend their services! - Chris

Gus is an awesome guy with a heart for serving others! He was willing to touch up our vinyl lettering in our youth space at church months after it was installed and did it with a smile on his face. This guy cares about clients and really gets the idea of customer service!

Proper Prep Painters were so amazing. Gus was on top of every detailed and over communicated throughout the entire process which I really respected so I stayed on top of the project. We did not have that big of a project but we felt just as important as a larger project. Gus took the extra time to fully describe their process and make sure we were all on the same page before even lifting a paint brush. I really appreciated the attention to detail.

The painting crew was so professional and very good. I would highly recommend and use Proper Prep Painters for any of my painting projects.

Huge thank you for the amazing job they did painting my house. They really paid close attention to the details, and it shows-the place feels brand new.
I also appreciate how tidy and friendly they were throughout the whole process. It made things so much easier for me. Im super happy with the result and would highly recommend these painters to anyone looking for a great painter.

This was a great experience with Gus, being a professional 'buyer' I deal with people selling me every day. Gus proved to be responsive, creative, provided full cost breakdown and overall a pleasant guy.

His crew executed the job on time and did extra to assure the quality of the work. Ie. the quote was for 2 layers but 3 layers were necessary to get the color right. No issue and not a point of discussion. Gus checked in regurarly and provided support out of scope.

Great experience, I would work with him again.

I hired Proper Prep Painters to repaint the interior of my home, and I honestly cant say enough good things about the experience. From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, Gus and his team were nothing but professional, reliable, and detail-oriented.

What impressed me most was how involved Gus was from day one. He came out personally to give the estimate no rushed walk-through or vague pricing. He took time to understand what I wanted, explained the prep process thoroughly, and even helped me think through a few design decisions I hadnt considered.

True to the name, their prep work was top-notch. They protected all the flooring and furniture, patched and sanded everything perfectly, and made sure the surfaces were completely ready before a single drop of paint went up. That extra effort showed in the final result clean lines, beautiful finishes, and not a single missed detail.

Gus was on-site regularly, checking in and making sure everything was up to his standards. His crew was respectful, showed up on time every day, and worked efficiently. The whole job was finished ahead of schedule, and the house looks brand new.

If youre looking for a company that takes pride in doing the job right and a business owner who actually cares about the work and the client, I cant recommend Proper Prep Painters enough. Gus runs a tight ship and it shows in the results.

After meeting with several local Paint and Restoration companies here in Houston I couldn't be more happier with having chosen Proper Prep Painters. Some of the deciding factors included transparency with their prep and paint process (evident with excellent videos online detail methods, this reduced my anxiety on how they would managed paint overspray), detailed quoting ( I knew exactly what was included), and their expert professional painters and knowledge. From start to finish Gus and his team walked me through the process, double confirmed scope, educated me on the process, and executed per the contract flawlessly. Not to mention I'm over the moon with the results! My kitchen looks so updated and brand new. Not to mention Gus and team provide a color interior design consult, ensuring I choose the right color palette and coordinating options. I have chosen them again for expanded projects and look forward to the results. I highly recommend them.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Gus twice, and although we ended up not working together due to changes in my personal plans, it was a fantastic experience. Gus is an absolute gem so kind, caring, and truly thoughtful. Hes one of the sweetest humans Ive met, and it goes without mentioning that hes so kind and thoughtful too! We had a great time brainstorming and discussing ideas, and I could tell that he genuinely cares about the work he does. I highly recommend him if youre looking for someone who brings positivity and professionalism to everything they do!

I was very pleased with the painting job done by Proper Prep Painters! The crew was punctual, arriving when they said they would. They were very careful with my furniture, ensuring nothing was damaged during the moving process. The project was completed exactly as promised and they left the work area spotless. They even took the time to clean up and vacuum before they left. I am loving my refreshed space and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional painting service!

Proper Prep Painters did an amazing job throughout the whole process of painting our bedroom. Gus was very thorough in providing color choices and design options. The whole team was very flexible and completed the job super quick with wonderful results! Would highly recommend for your future painting needs!
