Who & Why
No Drips, No Drama – since 2007
We believe a good painting experience starts with clear communication and ends with great results. That means clear proposals, clear expectations, and a team of friendly, skilled painters who work full days and keep the site clean while they're at it.
Fully Licensed and Insured
From day one, we’ve held a KCMO business license and full insurance. You’ll get a copy of our insurance certificate with your proposal—because we believe peace of mind starts with transparency.
We also take professionalism seriously. Staying up to date on safety practices, technical training, and industry standards helps us deliver consistent results, job after job.
EPA Lead-Safe Certified
We’ve been EPA Lead-Safe Certified since 2011. That means we follow safe practices when working on homes built before 1978, minimizing dust and protecting your family, your home, and the environment.
Member of the Painting Contractors Association
As an active member of the Painting Contractors Association since 2008, we’re committed to professionalism and continued learning. It’s one more way we stay current on best practices, product knowledge, and ethical business standards.
High Customer Ratings
Since 2007, we’ve built our business one happy customer at a time. Customer reviews tell the story—homeowners love working with us, and they call us back again and again. When people find a painting company that shows up, does the job right, and treats their home with respect, they tend to share the news.
Schedule Driven
A good schedule isn’t just about keeping things on track—it’s about respecting your time. That’s why we hold our team to the same expectations we set with our customers:
- Show up on time
- Work full days, every day
- Stay on the job until it’s complete
- Clean up each day—and at the end
Many of the most common contractor complaints have to do with scheduling: missed start dates, short or scattered workdays, or projects that drag on for weeks. We work hard to avoid all that by setting a clear pace and sticking to it.
Solid People
Every great company starts with great people. At Crestwood Painting, we’re selective about who we bring on board. Yes, technical skill matters—a painter should know how to prep, brush, roll, and detail like a pro—but that’s just the beginning.
We also look for the soft skills: professionalism, courtesy, attention to detail, and respect for your home and family. Because when someone’s working in your space, you want to feel confident in who they are and how they work.
What's in a Name?
When we started in 2007, we needed a name. “Brookside Painting” seemed like a great choice—until we discovered it was already taken by a company in Brooklyn. (Really.)
After a long coffee with a marketing friend, we landed on “Home Tones.” A clever nod to home and color. Genius, right?
Not according to the family. My wife and daughter instantly gave it a firm “nope”. Then they came up with Crestwood Painting—named after the classic Kansas City neighborhood just south of UMKC. It felt right: local, rooted, and familiar. So we went with it.
What is No Drips, No Drama?
Early on, we were painting a house in the neighborhood when a homeowner down the street stopped by. After a few questions and a walkaround, we asked, “What’s most important to you? Anything you’d like us to avoid?”
He said: “I don’t want any drama. Just paint my house.”
So we did. He paid us. Left a great Google review. Simple as that.
That conversation stuck with us. Why should a drama-free experience be something you have to ask for? Probably because too many people have already had the opposite.
For us, No Drips, No Drama means:
- Clear communication—before, during, and after
- Safe, respectful work practices
- Consistent, full-time work hours
- Pride in the work from start to finish
Give us a call and see how easy it can be to work with true service professionals.
