Professional Residential Painting Built on Experience and Accountability
Alex Crump Painting is a locally owned and operated residential painting company based in Santa Rosa, California. Since 2011, we’ve helped homeowners throughout Sonoma County protect, refresh, and enhance their homes with professional painting services built on craftsmanship, preparation, and attention to detail.
As a licensed California C33 Painting & Decorating Contractor (#953718), we focus primarily on residential projects — including interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, and surface preparation. While we occasionally complete light commercial work, our core expertise is working with homeowners who want lasting results and a smooth, well-managed process.
Built on Craftsmanship, Not Shortcuts
Alex founded the company with a simple philosophy: do the job right the first time.
That means proper surface preparation, clear communication, realistic timelines, and using high-quality materials designed to hold up to Northern California’s climate. From detailed prep work and clean cut lines to thorough cleanup at the end of each day, every step of the process is handled with care.
Over the years, we’ve worked on a wide range of Sonoma County homes — from older Craftsman and ranch-style properties to newer developments and hillside residences. Each home presents unique challenges, and our experience allows us to adapt methods and materials to ensure durable, professional finishes.
Serving Santa Rosa and Sonoma County Since 2011
Being based in Santa Rosa means we understand the local environment and housing styles. Warm summers, seasonal rain, and sun exposure can take a toll on exterior surfaces, while interior finishes must withstand everyday wear from active households.
We regularly complete projects throughout Santa Rosa and nearby communities across Sonoma County, building long-term relationships with homeowners who value reliability, consistency, and quality workmanship.
Many of our projects come from repeat clients and referrals — something we take seriously and work hard to earn on every job.

A Residential-Focused Approach
While we do provide limited commercial painting services, the majority of our work centers on residential homes. This focus allows us to refine our systems, stay attentive to homeowner needs, and maintain consistent quality across projects of all sizes.
Whether it’s a single room refresh, a full exterior repaint, or detailed cabinet refinishing, we approach every project with the same level of professionalism and care.

The Story of Alex Crump Painting
In 1980 I got in the construction trades, working as a finish carpenter, framing houses and building fences for a fence company.
In 1982 I decided to work for a painting company in Petaluma. My first job with this company was in San Rafael, Ca and involved painting a commercial building that took one year to complete. The job paid $6.00 per hour to start and at the end of the year I was making $7.00 per hour.
I was married during this time, but was able to live on these low wages. I continued to work for this painting company for several years before deciding to try working for other painting companies in Santa Rosa, in order to make better wages.
After years gaining more experience in the painting business, I got a job as a foreman with a painting company in Occidental, Ca. I worked for this company from 1998 to 2010 doing work throughout Sonoma County. I also taught young, new workers with no painting experience how to paint houses.
Upon reaching the top of the pay scale, I realized that I needed to make even more money in order to survive in Sonoma County, which had become a very expensive place to live, so I decided to get my C33 Painting Contractor’s license. After jumping through all of the hoops required, I passed the test in Sacramento and acquired my C33 license in 2011.
Next, I designed my business card with my new license number on it and began feeling like all of the years of hard work were now finally coming together – the beginning of my new painting business!
I started with ten employees and was able to acquire enough work to keep the crew busy. After being in business about five years, I downsized to two journeyman employees. After fourteen years in business, I feel successful and have created a loyal client base that keeps my business humming along.
Everyday there are lessons to learn about running a business, painting techniques and how to manage employees more efficiently – all while ensuring complete customer satisfaction.
I look forward to the what the next decade will bring!
