Our Foundation: Trust, Care, and Lasting Quality
Great painting isn't just about the final color, it’s about the care that goes into every step. We operate on three core principles that ensure our work holds up beautifully against Chico summers and wet winters.
The Power of Preparation
Quality without shortcuts. The biggest difference between an average paint job and an SGB finish is the prep work. We know that great painting begins long before the first coat. We meticulously clean, sand, caulk, and prime every surface with care so the finish is smooth and durable for years to come. That’s how we ensure touch-ups are rare and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Peace of Mind and Protection
Safety and commitment. We are proud to be an EPA Certified painting contractor. This certification is crucial for lead safe work on older homes (pre-1978). It means our crews are highly trained in safe containment and responsible cleanup practices, allowing you to move forward with your project with absolute confidence. We back this commitment with a written warranty, so you know we stand behind our work long after the last brush is cleaned.
Service with a Local Heart
We treat your time with respect.
Communication matters deeply to us. You will always know which trusted crew members are coming to your home, what the plan is for the day, and what step comes next. We carefully cover floors, furniture, and landscaping, and we leave a clean site at the end of every day. Many of our local painters have been with us for years—their experience and pride show up in the care they take on your property.
Elevate Your Space with SGB Custom Painting
Dedicated Local Crew
SGB Custom Painting is led by owner Scott Bernhardt who established the company's commitment to hands-on quality. Unlike large, impersonal companies, Scott remains actively involved in estimates, planning, and final quality checks. You aren't passed from person to person; the same friendly people who greet you at the start will be there to finish the job well.
Our crew members are trained, steady, and local. They know Chico neighborhoods intimately, understand exactly how the North Valley climate affects exterior coatings, and bring that hyper-local experience into every project. You’ll notice the small things that make a difference: shoe covers inside your home, labeled touch-up paint cans left behind, and a thorough final walkthrough to ensure every detail exceeds your expectations.
