Too many homeowners end up with painting contractors who give vague verbal estimates, then tack on surprise charges once the job is underway. Owner Kris Bross built Shelby Macomb Painters around a different approach, implementing a three-tiered written proposal system that lets customers choose between basic, better, and best options with every cost itemized before work begins.
The fully licensed and insured company handles interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair, wallpaper removal, wood rot replacement, pressure washing, and commercial projects. Kris personally conducts on-site estimates and returns after completion for a detailed inspection, a practice multiple customers credit with catching imperfections they would have missed. Crew leader Armando and painters Emmanuel, Junior, and Carlos form the core team across projects.
The BBB-accredited company operates from 50555 Central Industrial Drive in Shelby Township, serving Macomb County, Rochester, Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe, and surrounding communities. Shelby Macomb Painters offers a tiered warranty program of one, two, or three years depending on the service package selected and uses Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products.

Gail Briguglio initially left a five-star review but updated it after a warranty callback took approximately two months. She noted "the customer service is only good for new customers" during that waiting period. However, the company did eventually send Armando to complete the repair. Andrea Retman described a communication breakdown before her project started. Both situations point to busy-season scheduling strain rather than workmanship concerns.
