I originally met Gus with Proper Prep Painters in March, 2025. He was one of two companies to visit the house and quote the project. Wife and I decided to wait at that time and since then the chipping paint on our kitchen island and Primary bath cabinets continued to worsen. Thanks Perry Homes for choosing the cheapest paint allowed to get to closing.
Thankfully, Gus followed up from time to time. He came back out to make sure every detail past and present would be addressed to exact specifications and vision. Design and scheduling were a breeze.
Huge thanks to project manager Franklin and co-painter, Miguel. The dynamic duo was early every morning and kept me updated to the minute on arrival and departure throughout. The job was completed on time with top notch professionalism, courtesy, tips going forward and they treated my home as if it were their own. Gus was also in communication each day and personally stopped by end of each day to discuss the work and project progress. I know more about paint than I ever did before the good, bad and everything in between from these guys.
Im sure there are several great people at Proper Prep, but do yourself a favor and ask for Franklin and Miguel. You wont be disappointed.

Proper Prep Painters in Houston, TX did an amazing job on my kitchen cabinets. The team was professional, organized, timely, and very detailed, and their communication was excellent from start to finish. The whole process was stress-free, and the final result is beautiful!
Gus, Franklin, Miguel, and Jay were fantastic from start to finish. Gus walked me through every step of the process and never left out any details. I always knew what was happening and felt comfortable asking questions. Franklin was always easy to reach and did a great job leading the team. Miguel was very detailed and handled each cabinet with care.
Emily was also wonderful to work with. Emily came to my home for a free design consultation and helped me choose colors. Gus ordered the samples and the arrived within just a couple of days, which made things so easy. They were patient, helpful, and always quick to respond to my texts.
My cabinets now look like a high-end, professional finish. Even my contractor was impressed. I couldnt be happier and would absolutely recommend Proper Prep Painters to anyone in Houston looking for quality cabinet painters.

We are thrilled with our lighter and brighter kitchen thanks to Proper Prep Painters! Gus came out to look at the kitchen, reviewed the entire process and what type of paint he recommended for longevity/durability. I also really appreciated the owner connecting me with an interior designer for a color choice consultation. Their name sums up our experience- my backsplash/countertops/floors were safely covered, wall edges were taped, and the kitchen area was enclosed with plastic sheeting. Gus team sanded down our twenty year old glazed cabinets before and after priming. I appreciate that the owner was on site supervising the crew- which allowed me to leave here and there throughout the two day job. Proper Prep Painters did an amazing job on our twenty year old cabinets and we couldnt be happier with our new look. We have already recommended them to family/friends- and look forward to painting the rest of the house before the holidays.
Update: Proper Prep Painters returned to paint our living room just AFTER our hardwood floors were restored (sanding/staining/sealing). Gus and crew went above and beyond to protect the floors throughout the paint job with heavy duty protective sheeting. The paint job was challenging- tall ceilings with beams and multiple skylights. We couldnt be happier with the results- check out the crisp lines between the baseboards and quarter round trim. The crew showed up every morning on time at 8am, were a pleasure to have in my home, and left the work space tidy each day. Highly recommend Proper Prep Painters!

Owner Gus did a very professional job listening to my needs, helping me get paint samples and advising me on paint sheen. His quote was thorough with no hidden fees or surprises. He and his crew arrived on time, were easy to communicate with and did a fantastic job with my interior paint job. In addition to painting, they also did a minor repair of a drywall crack. I would highly recommend them.

We had a great experience with Proper Prep Painters! We had our kitchen cabinets repainted, as well as all the white trim in our house repainted and a couple of small repairs too display shelves. They did a great job! It showed up on time every day, they paid attention to all the details, They were very thorough and complete and the paint job looks great! When the work required a little more expertise. They called in a carpenter to ensure the repair was done correctly. Klen the project manager was onsite painting with the crew and sent me a text every day with what work was accomplished and a text every morning to know exactly when to expect them to arrive which we appreciated! I also liked that they had females in their work crew as well. Everyone seemed to be happy working there and they cleaned up v Well every day. I would definitely recommend them if you need interior painting done. We rehired them as well for exterior shutter paint but the work has not started yet. Prices are reasonable and power came onsite nearly every day to check work and ensure we were happy. All expectations were laid out in writing and we had zero issues.

I would highly recommend Proper Prep Painters! I tried painting my doors black myself and ended up with an uneven, ashy finish on several of them. I reached out to Gus, and he was a man of his word sent Klen and a helper right away. They did an incredible job: no mess, beautiful results, and my doors look brand new. I honestly regret ever trying to do it myself. Ill definitely be using Proper Prep Painters again and referring them for all my future painting needs!

What can I say but that this was one of the best, if not the best, contractor experiences I have ever had. I am a homeowner of over 40 years (six homes, five states), and we designed and built the home we've occupied for the last 10 years. I've had lots of contractor experience before ,during, and since we moved into our forever home.
Proper Prep Painters did a beautiful job: showing up on time, respecting the property, grounds, and outdoor spaces, while finishing on time. Daily inspections conducted by the management were helpful, and concerns were thoroughly addressed or clarified.
I highly recommend their services.

I hired Proper Prep to paint some metal racks for my machine shop. The process was straight forward and easy - Gus guided us through the right products to use and quoted it out a few different ways so we could see pricing for different scopes. They arrived on time and completed the project in the anticipated timeline that they set. Esteban and the guys did a good job on the prep work protecting my concrete floor.

We originally found Proper Prep Painters after seeing the ads on Facebook. We are so glad we did. We had them paint the interior of the house and are truly ecstatic with the results.
From the first visit we were impressed with Guss professionalism and attention to detail. He listened to what we wanted and gave really great advice on how it would be best to proceed. It filled us with a tremendous confidence that he shared our vision.
The access to an interior designer to help choose our color was a very welcome anddition and Sloane delivered some wonderful choices. We have since connected with her to do some additional design work the house.
Day one of the job showed the value in the name choice. The care taken to prepare the spaces and ensure all furniture was safe was top notch. Klen and his crew were unstoppable and they communicated every step of the way. His attention to detail reflects the commitment to perfection this company and Gus have.
The final walkthrough with Gus showed again that this company offers best in class customer satisfaction with no small detail going unnoticed.
If you are looking for professionalism and customer service in your painters, look no further.

This was a great experience with Gus, being a professional 'buyer' I deal with people selling me every day. Gus proved to be responsive, creative, provided full cost breakdown and overall a pleasant guy.
His crew executed the job on time and did extra to assure the quality of the work. Ie. the quote was for 2 layers but 3 layers were necessary to get the color right. No issue and not a point of discussion. Gus checked in regurarly and provided support out of scope.
Great experience, I would work with him again.
