A family trade, owner-run
Dave Shipler has been painting homes and businesses around Colorado Springs for more than 40 years, and he comes from a family line of professional painters.
“The Quality You Expect”
That line is on the Brush Masters logo, and it is a promise about the finish. Dave’s way of keeping it has not changed in four decades: protect everything in the house, repair what is damaged, prepare every surface properly, and only then open the paint. Customers notice. One wrote that the crew “spent more time prepping than they did with the actual painting, and it really paid off.”
Brush Masters describes itself simply as residential repaint experts. Most of the work is homes - whole-house repaints, single rooms, rentals between tenants, and houses getting ready to go on the market - along with commercial spaces and condominium communities.
More than painting
A paint job is only as good as the wall under it, so the repairs are part of the service: drywall patching and texture matching, popcorn ceiling removal, wallpaper removal and hanging, and siding, trim and door replacement. Natural wood gets stripped and stained rather than painted over. It means one team, one schedule, and nobody waiting on another trade.
Talked through, start to finish
Dave does the estimates himself, and he aims to stay in constant communication with customers until the job is done. Reviews mention it again and again: a detailed estimate, an update at the end of each day, and - when a job turned up something unexpected - a conversation and an agreed price before any extra work was done. Several Colorado Springs realtors refer their clients to him, and one wrote that Brush Masters “stand behind their work which is rare in these times.”
