About · Ivan's Pro Painting
Ivan Martinez picked up a brush at 18 and never put it down

Free estimate
On-site, itemized and free. Same-hour callback during business hours.
Ivan still leads the crew on the tools
Every painter on the team is trained by him and paints to his standard, using his processes on every job. You don't get a random subcontractor. You get a team that answers to the guy whose name is on the truck.
Same four-man crew on every job:
- Ramon
- Marvin
- Baldor
- Mario

Answers
How the crew works on an exterior job
Every exterior job runs in the same order. Walk the house, mark what is failing, then prep. Scraping, sanding, patching, caulking, spot-priming every bare spot. Stucco cracks get repaired and the texture matched before a finish coat goes anywhere near them. Material that is past repair gets replaced instead of painted over. Failed exterior paint is a prep problem, not a paint problem. Prep is what decides how long the new finish holds.
The crew works one elevation at a time instead of jumping around the house. Prep, prime, coat, then move. That keeps a wet edge under control and keeps the rest of the property clear while work is going. Plants, windows, walkways and hardscape get covered before anything is sprayed or rolled. A single-story exterior usually runs three to five working days including prep.
