The Modesto Painters paints homes and businesses in Modesto and the nearby towns of Stanislaus and southern San Joaquin County, from Ceres and Turlock to Ripon and Manteca. Homeowners call us for a single room, a full interior or a whole exterior. Landlords and property managers call us for rental turnovers, apartment buildings, shops and offices. We also paint cabinets, stain decks and fences, repair drywall, strip wallpaper and take down popcorn ceilings. We are licensed and insured.
Housing here runs from early bungalows with wood siding near Graceada Park to stucco tract homes on the newer edges of town, and each needs its own prep. The valley sun does most of the damage outdoors. Hot, dry summers bleach color and leave stucco powdery, and they split the paint on fascia and trim. Winter rain and tule fog then find every open crack. Indoors, textured drywall is the rule, so patches must be blended into the texture before any paint goes on.
A job starts with a free visit. We look at the surfaces, measure, ask what you want and send a written quote that lists the areas, the prep and the number of coats. Once you agree, we set a start date. On site we cover what is not being painted, wash or clean, make the repairs, prime and paint. At the end we walk the work with you, touch up anything you point out and clean up before we leave.

This company is the epitome of excellence in interior painting. From start to finish, their team of professionals exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and meticulousness they demonstrated throughout the project was truly remarkable.
Three rooms were done in an excellent way. One area was painted pine paneling and cabinets. It is beautiful! Patching was done where necessary. There was a color change that looks so good. All painted woodwork turned out perfectly.
This team was fantastic to work with for our home painting project. They were professional, reliable, and delivered exactly what we wanted. We’re thrilled with the results—worth every bit!
Our exterior shutters and front door were repainted in a darker color. The contrast gave the house more character.
So happy with how it looks now! The color scheme they picked completely revamped it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to paint a house in Modesto?
By national figures published by HomeGuide for 2026, a whole interior costs $3,500 to $10,000 and an exterior costs $3,000 to $10,000 for a 2,000 square foot house. Those are not our quotes. Size, prep and paint set your price, and we give it in writing after a free walkthrough.
When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Modesto?
Spring and fall. Days are warm and walls are not too hot. Summer work is done early in the day, ahead of the sun, and winter work is done in dry spells between rain and fog.
How long does exterior paint last in the Central Valley sun?
National published figures are 5 to 7 years on stucco and 3 to 7 years on wood siding. South and west walls and wood trim wear first here. Good prep and two full coats of quality acrylic paint are what make it last.
Do painters need a license in California?
Yes, for jobs of $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The Contractors State License Board issues the C-33 painting license, and you can check any license on its website. The Modesto Painters is licensed and insured.
How much deposit can a painter ask for in California?
The Contractors State License Board states that a down payment on a home improvement job cannot exceed 10 percent of the price or $1,000, whichever is less.
My house was built before 1978. Does lead paint matter?
Yes. Old paint may contain lead, and sanding or scraping it makes harmful dust. Federal rules require firms that disturb paint in pre-1978 homes to be EPA Lead-Safe Certified and to use lead-safe methods. Tell us the age of your home when you call.
