Serving the residential neighborhoods and commercial spaces of the Greater Kansas City metro, Custom Finish Painting handles everything from complex wood rot repair to full-home color transformations. Owner Joshua Quintana founded the company in 2015, building a team that includes crew leaders Erick and Karla, who manage job sites across the metro. The company works with Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG products, matching each project to the best paint line.
Services range from interior and exterior residential painting to cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair, and pressure washing. Josh provides complimentary color consultations and in-person estimates backed by a No-Surprise Guarantee, where the quoted price is the final price.
The fully insured team backs all projects with a two-year workmanship warranty, with an upgrade option for five years of protection. They serve Gladstone, Kansas City, Liberty, Parkville, Smithville, and surrounding Missouri suburbs.
Customers who collected several estimates frequently chose Custom Finish Painting on value. Jennifer Dougan noted the "price was also great" after her first professional paint job, while Ryan Anderson selected them for "a very competitive price" combined with Josh's helpfulness and zero sales pressure. Lisa Peyton called it the "best price out of three bids" for her exterior project with extensive trim repairs.
