When Monica Perry needed her home's exterior painted, the estimate visit revealed more than she expected. Owner Rick Trieb identified wood rot, loose roof flashing, and an old satellite dish that all needed attention. "He included it all in our quote and absolutely everything did get taken care of," Monica noted, adding the results "far exceeded our expectations." This thorough approach to identifying problems before they become bigger issues defines how Prestige Exterior Painting operates.
Rick founded the company in 1997, and over nearly three decades has completed more than 3,000 exterior projects across the Kansas City metro. Office Manager Megan Shields coordinates scheduling while Rick personally conducts every estimate. The fully licensed and insured team includes crew leaders Aaron, Hugo, Deven, Jake, and Cody, each earning praise by name in customer reviews for their workmanship.
The company specializes in exterior residential and commercial painting, wood rot repair, deck staining, and custom carpentry including handcrafted shutters. They offer a 7-year written warranty backed by their 13-step preparation process and a one-year follow-up inspection. No payment is collected until the job is complete. Prestige serves Blue Springs, Independence, Lee's Summit, Kansas City, and surrounding communities.

Customers report crews are in-house, not subcontracted. Kaley Johnson made this a deciding factor, noting Prestige has "no subcontractors." Reviewers describe specific named crew members — Ivan as on-site foreman in Jack Bryant's review, Trent leading the team in L Gravitt's project, Megan in the office for Kristin Middleton — reflecting a stable, employee-based operation rather than rotating outside contractors.
