Our Story
Monarch Painters was founded in 2014 after our owner spent a decade as a foreman for a large commercial painting outfit and saw, firsthand, how corner-cutting and day-labor crews damaged the trade's reputation. He started Monarch with one goal: build a residential-only painting company that does the job right, the first time, and warranties the work in writing. Ten years later, we've completed 1,200+ projects across San Mateo County and built our reputation neighbor by neighbor.
