Park Place Painting, led by owner Matt Park, brings more than 30 years of hands-on painting experience to every residential and commercial project across Hollister and Santa Cruz. Holding an active California Contractors State License ( C-33 Painting and Decorating) since 2010, the company handles full exterior repaints, interior room transformations, kitchen cabinet refinishing, trim and door work, and light wood rot repair. Matt personally walks each property before quoting, identifying prep issues other crews might miss and explaining every option so homeowners know what to expect before a brush hits the wall.
The crew is known for detailed preparation that includes pressure washing, filling imperfections, priming bare wood, and protecting surrounding surfaces before any paint is applied. Customers from across San Benito County and the greater Santa Cruz area consistently note the team's punctuality, fair pricing, and willingness to go beyond the original scope when the project calls for it. Park Place Painting keeps communication simple through direct phone and email access to Matt, ensuring every question gets a fast, personal answer from the person running the job.

Older homes often conceal rot, cracked caulk, or deteriorating trim beneath layers of old paint. Matt walks the property before quoting and flags visible concerns, but the real test comes during prep. Jean-Michel Trivi described how Matt found trim damage previous painters had hidden under caulk and arranged for repairs before finishing the job. Steve Turnbaugh noted that for the few minor repairs required, Matt gave all the details and explained options. The crew handles wood rot repair on fascia and siding in-house rather than leaving homeowners to coordinate a second contractor.
