Clemente Avalos
Owner, estimates and prep
Walks every building that needs a visit. Checks the trim, taps the ceilings and writes the repair list.
About the firm
A family firm that paints small buildings
Clemente started painting two-flats with his brother. He now runs the firm with his wife Pilar and their children Aura and Julian, and seven painters work on the crews. We paint the buildings our neighbors own: two-flats, three-flats and a few doors, where the landlord often lives on the first floor.
Pilar and Aura answer texts and calls in English or Spanish. The crews speak a mix of both.

How we work
Three habits
We text, in writing
The schedule, the estimate and any change arrive as a message you can keep.
We cover first
Floors, stairs and furniture are covered before a can is opened.
We say what we find
A soft ceiling, a leak stain or a failing window is shown to you, with a photo.
Send the unit.
Three photos is the whole first step.
