Pro-Staff Painting Faux Finishing Company Profile

he cheapest painting bids often come with big disappointments. Unqualified workers, substandard materials and no respect for your property can end up costing you much more than the dollar amount on the proposal.

 

The Cost Conundrum
Cheap paint, watered-down products and one-coat disasters are stories you often hear from consumers who dealt with discount painters. To keep their bottom line low, many contractors skimp on materials, leaving their customers with haphazard paint jobs that flake, peel or fade within months.

We found a San Mateo County painting company that cares more about their customers' happiness than their profit margin. Husband and wife team Duane Asbra and Bette Asbra are proud of their one-of-a-kind painting work and skilled employees at Pro-Staff Painting in Redwood City CA.

Using the highest quality premium paints is just a start for Pro-Staff Painting. While the cost of premium paint increases their bottom line, Duane Asbra and Bette Asbra believe their customers deserve a paint job that will last longer than a few short years.

"We do a quality job, and you get what you pay for," says Duane Asbra. "My guys are good and I know the job is going to get done right. How a contractor handles your time and money says a lot about their character."

Careless discount painters often leave a costly mess. Spilled and splattered paint can ruin your flooring, windows and furnishings. Even painters who take time to move furniture may inadvertently cause damage to floors and furniture by rushing through the process.

The skilled workers at Pro-Staff Painting understand that preparing before painting is an important part of their job. They take time to remove every item that could be damaged and carefully cover all flooring and glass. But when the workday is over, they make sure homeowners have their living space back.

Pro-Staff Painting makes sure customers are comfortable in their home throughout the project, according to Bette Asbra. "We make sure they have the bedroom and bathroom available to them every night. "

Staffed for Success
Customers who make the mistake of choosing a discount painting contractor never know what they're getting. Untrained staff hired from labor pools may be plumbers one week, painters the next and gardeners the week after.  When those discount contractors don't even know their own crew, how can you trust them alone in your home?

Duane Asbra and Bette Asbra know exactly how important your home and possessions are hire only employees they trust alone in their own home. Their neat and respectful employees stand above the unknown day laborers hired by discount painting companies.

Customers know when they are working with great painting contractors. John, a recent customer of Pro-Staff Painting, had this to say in a research phone call. "They went way out of their way to help me. I needed a condo fully repainted and ready for sale in two days, and they met the goal. They worked on the weekend, their crew was very professional, and their price was reasonable. I was out of town and they were in constant contact," he said. "When I came back I was totally impressed. They went way out of their way on this job. It was an astronomical experience."

Pro-Staff Painting is staffed by a professional team of journeymen who have been educated to do quality work with unbeatable ethics. Duane Asbra trains each member of his team to provide the best quality and most reliable work in Redwood City. From public buildings to consumer homes, the painters at Pro-Staff Painting go above and beyond the average to give their customers great quality at fair prices.

Duane and Bette met years ago when, as an employee in his uncle's contracting company, Duane painted her family's home. In 1997, the Asbras founded Pro-Staff Painting. They work as a team, usually going to home visits and offering bids together. 

Off the job, Duane Asbra and Bette Asbra spend time in their own backyard oasis, complete with a pool and barbeque. They frequently have friends and employees as guests, enjoying their downtime in much the same way they spend their workdays-surrounded by people they trust and appreciate.

A Second Look
When you are looking for special finishes or artwork for your painting job, know that many who call themselves faux finish painters are artists but not licensed contractors. Not only don't they don't have the license that guarantees the consumer a course of action if something were to go wrong but they also lack a certain level of business professionalism.

Duane Asbra is a licensed painting contractor who also provides the faux finishes, trompe l'oeil and other fine artwork of a faux finish painter.  From textured walls and Venetian plasters to making ordinary walls look like marble, wood or stone, his talents shine as the hallmark of Pro-Staff Painting. He is also equipped to create custom glazes and color washes along side aging techniques.

Both Duane Asbra and Bette Asbra have undergone intensive training as color consultants. Through certified faux finishing trainers, they have learned the nuances of color application and design, and they look at each room as an opportunity to share their wealth of knowledge.

When you are looking for a painting contractor and faux finishing professional to help turn your home into an extraordinary retreat, look no further than Pro-Staff Painting.
