Who & Why
No Drips, No Drama - since 2007
Consistent communication. Clear proposals, clear expectations. Friendly people work full days and keep tidy work areas.
Fully licensed and insured
From the very beginning we've had a KCMO business license and full insurance. You'll get a copy of that insurance along with your proposal. Because confidence starts with transparency.
We take professionalism seriously. EPA Lead-Safe Certified since 2011 and an active member of the Painting Contractors Association since 2008, we stay up to date on industry best practices, safety standards, and the best products for your home.
High Customer Ratings
Since 2007, we’ve built our business on happy customers and solid referrals. Our reviews speak for themselves — homeowners love working with us, and they come back again and again. When people find a painting company that shows up, does the job right, and respects their home, they don’t keep it a secret.
Schedule Driven
Best to look for a company that sets expectations for painters as effectively as those for customers. Those things that are expected of every service company, but often not delivered:
- Show up on time
- Work full days, every day
- Stay at it until the job is complete
- Clean up. And then leave.
Many of the top contractor complaints are schedule related. These include inconsistent work hours and days, inconsistent crews, inconsistent work practices. All of this means the project drags on.
Solid People
Every company succeeds with their people. At Crestwood Painting we patiently look for the right people. Technical skills are assumed - a painter should, of course, competently sand, fill, caulk, scrape, brush and roll. We also look for the soft skills: neat appearance, courtesy, respectful of others, etc. Because when a painter is in your home you want to be confident that both your family and your home are protected and respected.
What's in a Name?
After starting in '07 we needed a name but the obvious "Brookside Painting" URL was taken by a company in Brooklyn. No kidding. So, a long cup of coffee with a marketing expert lead to "Home Tones". As in Home painting and Tones of color. Genius, right?
It was immediately shot down (wife and daughter: "you've got to be kidding"). They are not marketing experts, but in less than 5 minutes they decided on Crestwood Painting. So there's that.
Named after Crestwood, a classic Kansas City neighborhood tucked just south of UMKC at Oak St., it felt like the perfect fit. Local, established, and rooted in the community.
What is No Drips, No Drama?
Early on, a homeowner saw us working down the street. After a couple of days he came over and asked for an estimate. After the usual measuring and counting he was asked: "What are you sensitive to? What do you want to avoid?"
He said "I don't want any drama - just paint my house."
So we painted. And he paid us. And then left a great Google review. That's it.
Why do people have to ask for a No Drama experience? Because they've already had a Drama Contractor - one burn and you learn.
No Drips, No Drama means
