At the end of each of our projects, we love stepping back to see how our hard work and hours of focus have paid off. It’s even more exciting to see the smiles on our clients’ faces.

This excitement took on a whole new level recently when we found out that we won the APC Top Job Award for a refinishing project here in San Diego. What an honor!

What Is the APC Top Job Award?

American Painting Contractor is a nationally-respected resource for professional painters, and has been for almost a century.

In addition to providing the latest industry news, interviews, tech, and conversations, they also publish the “Top Jobs” from around the country, based on complexity, craftsmanship, technique, and the ability to meet a client’s specific needs.

A Closer Look At Our Award-Winning Project

You can find all the details in this write-up, but here’s a quick recap: we stripped down this vertical Douglas Fir home and then completely restored the wood, bringing it back to life once again. As a final touch, we painted the trim with a crisp white border that now accentuates the beauty of the Douglas Fir.

We’re very proud to take home this award and recognition, and are grateful to our awesome team for the exceptional work they do every day.

And thank YOU for celebrating along with us!
