With over 250 Google reviews and a consistent 4.8-star rating, Obregon Painting has established itself as one of Knoxville's most trusted painting contractors since beginning operations in the late 1990s. Owner Johnny Obregon built this family-owned business on a foundation of thorough preparation work, daily communication, and treating every property with care, earning an A+ BBB rating and recognition as a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite for three consecutive years (2021-2023).
The company handles both residential and commercial projects throughout Knox, Anderson, Blount, Loudon, and Sevier counties. Their portfolio spans interior painting, exterior repainting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, wallpaper removal, drywall repairs, and pressure washing. Reviews consistently highlight their preparation process, with customers noting how crews protect furniture with multiple layers, address wood rot or damaged trim discovered during projects, and maintain spotless work areas. Several customers mention the prep work as the differentiating factor that makes their paint jobs last longer than previous contractors' work.
What distinguishes Obregon is their approach to communication and reliability. Project coordinator Alyssa and office manager Isaiah maintain contact throughout jobs, sending daily progress updates and scheduling confirmations. Crews arrive on time, complete work within quoted timelines, and Johnny personally conducts final walkthroughs. The fully licensed and insured team backs all work with a 12-month workmanship warranty and one-year free retouching guarantee, offering 5% discounts for military personnel, first responders, and seniors. With competitive pricing that reflects skilled labor rather than premium markups, they've become a go-to choice for property owners seeking dependable results.
