About Wine Country Painters
Wine Country Painters begins every project the same way Lee Dido has for more than two decades in Sonoma County. A homeowner or property manager calls, and Lee arrives in person to walk the property, identify wood rot or surface damage, and build a transparent, line-item bid. That hands-on assessment is what separates the first conversation from a generic online quote.
Once the estimate is approved, an in-house crew led by painters customers know by name handles every phase from pressure washing and sanding to the final brush stroke. The team works across residential interiors and exteriors, commercial buildings, HOA complexes, and deck or fence staining throughout Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties. Benjamin Moore and other premium-grade products go on only after thorough prep, which is why clients describe finishes that still look fresh years later.
A Diamond Certified company rated highest in quality for sixteen consecutive years, Wine Country Painters closes each job with a detailed walk-through so nothing leaves the property unfinished.
