It’s more than a “paint job.” It’s your home.
When you allow a Madison painting contractor into your home to paint its interior—or on to your property to paint its
exterior—you’re purchasing more than a “paint job.” Instead, you’re purchasing a process that has a beginning and end.
You will have a relationship with your Madison painting contractor, as well as the crew that they send to your door. And the quality of that crew will have as profound an impact on your experience and results as will the paint and materials they apply to your home.
At Genesis, we are keenly aware of this—and that awareness drives the major difference between us and other painters in Madison.
We understand that each step of the painting process needs to be done expertly to achieve the best looking and longest-lasting results: from the initial estimate, to the prep-work, to the actual painting, all the way through to the final walk-through when we invite your final approval.
These reasons are why we are not only the largest painting company in Madison, Wisconsin— we remain the fastest
growing—meaning that our thousands of customers routinely refer us to their friends, neighbors, and family.
