30 Years Experience
Three decades of residential painting experience throughout Sonoma and Marin Counties.
After 30 years in the painting trade, I founded Jesse Stark Custom Painting to provide homeowners with something increasingly rare: direct, owner-operated service backed by decades of experience. As a third-generation painter, I personally handle every project from estimate to final walkthrough—no salespeople, subcontractors, or rotating crews.
For me, quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and attention to detail aren’t marketing promises—they’re the values I’ve built my career on. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or transforming the exterior of your home, my goal is simple: deliver beautiful results and a painting experience that’s professional, reliable, and stress-free.
This Santa Rosa home was completely transformed from a weathered exterior into a warm, modern cabin-inspired retreat. The success of this project came down to meticulous preparation, including careful power washing, wood brightening, and extensive sanding to restore the cedar siding without damaging the aged wood.
Using a hybrid stain that combines the durability of oil-based products with the benefits of water-based technology, the finished result highlights the natural beauty of the cedar while providing lasting protection. Every step was completed with patience, attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving the highest-quality finish possible.

With more than 50 cabinet doors and drawers, this Sebastopol kitchen was one of the most extensive cabinet refinishing projects I’ve completed. Rather than replacing quality cabinetry, the homeowners chose to invest in a professional finish that would completely transform the space.
After thorough preparation, each cabinet was refinished using a premium hybrid urethane coating that sprays exceptionally smooth and provides outstanding durability. The finished kitchen feels brighter, cleaner, and more modern—proof that exceptional craftsmanship can completely reinvent a space without a full remodel.

This Douglas fir entry door is a great example of why I enjoy restoration work so much. Rather than replacing the original door, the homeowners wanted to preserve its character and bring the wood back to life. After carefully sanding the door down to bare wood, I applied multiple clear finish coats to highlight the natural beauty of the grain.
When everything goes according to plan, a project like this can be completed in a single day, but the results can completely transform a home’s appearance. Seeing the wood grain emerge and the original craftsmanship shine through is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

Every project is treated with care, attention to detail, and the pride that comes from doing the job right the first time.

Real feedback from homeowners throughout Sonoma County.
“As a retired painter myself, Jesse did some very professional work for us. We couldn't be happier. His work was everything we expected. Very good quality. We are very happy about the work completed!”
Thumbtack Review
“Jesse was an incredibly good person to work with… On time, came prepared, thoughtfully covered furniture and artwork to be sure it didn’t get paint on it, took minimal break, very fair charges. Using again.”
Thumbtack Review
“Jesse painted the exterior of my home. The condition of the house was really bad shape, it needed scraping and sanding on 2 sides. He took the time to prep it and made it look like new. Really amazing job and very trustworthy!”
