Prep Is the Standard
Surfaces are assessed before paint is opened. Patching, sanding, caulking, masking, and protection are treated as the work that makes the finish last.

The person behind the work
A painting company run by the person whose name is on the standard.
Jake Thornton started Prestige Painters in 2018 after years working as a lead painter for a regional contractor. He had seen the difference between a rushed paint job and a lasting finish, and he wanted to build a company where prep, communication, and clean daily habits were never optional.
Today, Jake stays close to every project. He walks homes, writes clear scopes, helps homeowners understand product choices, and trains each crew member around the same standard: careful protection, crisp lines, honest timelines, and no shortcuts hiding under fresh paint.
"The finish only looks premium when the prep underneath it is right."

How Jake runs the business
Craft first. Clean job sites. Straight answers.
Owner-Led Communication
Jake believes homeowners should know what is happening, when it is happening, and why. Quotes are written clearly, and expectations are set early.
Respect for Your Home
Crews protect floors, furniture, landscaping, and daily routines. Every project ends with cleanup, walkthrough, and a finish Jake is willing to stand behind.
Why Prestige Painters exists
Denver homes need better prep, better products, and better follow-through.
Colorado is hard on paint. High-altitude sun, dry air, spring moisture, and winter temperature swings all expose weak prep fast. Jake built Prestige Painters around professional Sherwin-Williams systems and the discipline to use them correctly.
Whether it is one room, a full interior repaint, an exterior refresh, or a commercial space, the goal is the same: a finish that looks calm, clean, and durable long after the crew leaves.

Prestige Painters is not designed to feel like a faceless contractor. It is designed to feel like a professional local crew led by someone who cares about the details: the edge at the ceiling line, the protected hallway floor, the labeled paint left behind, and the phone call after the job is complete.
