Nick Epple -- Third Generation Painter
I grew up around the painting & decorating company that my grandfather started in Cleveland, Ohio. I learned the trades from my father & worked with him for many years. For the past 20 years I have run my own business in the S.F. area.
I have put together an expert crew:
However, if yours is a smaller project, we will only use the minimum number of workers to get the job done. (I'm one of the workers, by the way, so you're not paying for "overhead.")
Recently we completed an office complex and a loft space, both in S.F.; and a 1500-square-foot home in El Cerrito. Before that we did a 4-story house in the City. We will do a good job for you, on time, and economically.
Give me a call and let's talk about your project--exterior painting & waterproofing, interior painting, faux finishes, wallpapering, finish drywall, etc. I'm flexible & easy to work with. I'd enjoy working on some design ideas with you.
If the job is pretty straightforward I can give you a ballpark bid over the phone. Otherwise, I can stop by & take a look at your convenience--no charge.
The best way to reach me is to call me on my cell phone (510) 326-4646. If you need to email me, click here. Thank you. --Nick Epple ("EPP-lee" is how I pronounce it.) Here are a few photos of my work, some from the past and some from recent jobs. (We just purchased the digital camera, so this gallery is a work in progress.)
