Serving the Sacramento Valley's diverse housing stock, from century-old Davis Victorians to Vacaville tract homes and Dixon commercial properties, Brooks Painting Inc. has operated from its West Covell Boulevard headquarters since 1997. Owner Corey Schmidt leads a full-service team with estimators Ryan, Shawn, and Alfredo who walk properties with homeowners, and crew leaders Mark, Thomas, Flint, and Edwin who manage job sites.
The company handles residential interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, dry rot repair, popcorn ceiling removal, and epoxy floor coatings. Commercial clients range from active car dealerships to professional office spaces. A Benjamin Moore color consultation partnership through All Seasons Paint gives homeowners guided shade selection before projects begin.
The fully licensed, bonded, and insured team carries $1 million in general liability coverage and is EPA RRP lead-safe certified for work on older homes. Brooks Painting backs one-coat projects with a three-year labor guarantee and two-coat projects with a five-year labor guarantee. They serve nine counties across the Sacramento region.
