House Painters in Citrus Heights & Greater SacramentoThe owner is on site. Every job.
Most painting companies send a crew you have never met. Central Painting does not. Jeff has been painting homes in this valley since 1987, and he is there from the first coat to the final walkthrough — in Citrus Heights, Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Elk Grove and across the region.
Every service, one standard
Interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining and pressure washing — for homeowners across the greater Sacramento area.
Interior Painting
Crisp cut-in lines, no roller marks, and a house that's put back together every evening. Full repaints, single rooms, ceilings, trim, doors and accent walls.

Exterior Painting
Wash, scrape, prime and caulk before a drop of finish paint goes on — because in this climate the prep is what decides whether you repaint in six years or fifteen.

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
New cabinets are a five-figure decision. Refinishing the boxes and doors you already have gets you most of the way there for a fraction of it — if the prep is done right.

Deck & Fence Staining
Decks, fences, patio covers, pergolas and gates — cleaned, prepped and sealed so the wood stops greying out and starts looking like wood again.
Learn more
Pressure Washing
Correct pressure for the surface. Concrete takes what wood and stucco absolutely cannot, and using one setting for everything is how siding gets scarred.

Custom & Specialty Painting
Brick and stone fireplaces, feature walls, built-ins, detached garages, sheds and garden structures — the projects that don't fit a standard square-foot quote.

Jeff is on site, every job
Not a salesperson who hands you to a crew you have never met. The person who quotes your home is the person painting it, from the first coat to the final walkthrough.
No subcontractors, ever
Every job is done by Jeff and his own crew. That is why the standard is the same on job four hundred as it was on job four.
Painting local homes since 1987
Painting Sacramento-area homes since 1987, and running Central Painting since 2000. Long enough to have seen how every local substrate fails, and why.
Licensed California contractor
CSLB license #785742, active and publicly verifiable. Look it up before you hire us — we would rather you did.
Written estimates, honest pricing
A clear written estimate after Jeff has actually seen the property. What is quoted is what is charged.
A clean site, every evening
Furniture back, floors clear, tools away. You get your house back at the end of each day, not at the end of the job.
Jeff shows up. Every single time.
It sounds like a low bar. In this trade it is not.
The most common complaint homeowners have about painters is not the paint — it is the person who quoted the job never coming back, a crew nobody introduced turning up instead, and no one to talk to when something is not right.
Central Painting is built the opposite way. Jeff quotes your home, Jeff paints your home, and Jeff walks it with you at the end. That is why Realtors who need a listing ready by a firm date keep calling back, and why most of our work comes from people who have used us before.

What painting actually costs around Sacramento
No login, no email gate, no "call for pricing". Here is what the work honestly goes for around here, and a calculator to get you in the ballpark before Jeff ever comes out.
The figures below are average ranges across the Sacramento-area market, not Central Painting’s price list — every real price comes from someone standing in front of your house. But you deserve to know roughly what you are planning for before you pick up the phone, so we publish them.
- Exterior repaints, area average $3,200 – $12,000
- Full interior repaints, area average $3,000 – $13,000
- Kitchen cabinet refinishing, area average $2,400 – $6,200
These are average market ranges for the greater Sacramento area, not Central Painting's prices. Jeff's written estimate is free and specific to your property.

Painting questions, answered
How much does it cost to paint a house in the Sacramento area?
It depends on square footage, surface condition, height and access, how many colors are involved, and the substrate. As a rough guide, across the Sacramento-area market exterior repaints commonly land between $3,200 and $12,000, and full interior repaints between $3,000 and $13,000. Those are area averages rather than Central Painting’s rates. Your written estimate after Jeff has seen the property is free and exact.
Are estimates really free?
Yes. Every estimate is free, in writing, with no pressure and no obligation. Most are scheduled within a few days of your call or text.
Does Jeff personally work on every job?
Yes. Central Painting does not send subcontractors. Jeff is on site from the first coat to the final walkthrough on every project.
Are you licensed?
Yes — California contractors license #785742, C-33 Painting and Decorating, issued October 2000 and current and active. Central Painting also carries a $25,000 contractor's bond. You can verify all of it yourself on the CSLB website at any time.

How soon can you start?
Most estimates are scheduled within a few days. Start dates depend on the season — spring and early fall are the busiest months for exterior work — and you will be given a realistic date, not an optimistic one.

Yes, alongside residential work. Offices, rentals, common areas and small commercial buildings across the greater Sacramento area.
