Where should we start?
Painting is the visible half of the trade. The other half — rot repair, waterproofing, restoration — is why the paint lasts.
The Solidarity difference
Anyone can make a wall look painted for a season. Making it stay painted through North Bay winters takes the work nobody photographs — done in full, in order, every time.
Every surface is walked and probed before a brush comes out — paint failure, open joints, and suspect wood are identified and written into the scope.
Dirt, chalk, and mildew are washed off; failing paint is scraped back to a sound edge. Paint holds only to what's clean and stable.
Rotted wood can't be patched over — infected members are cut out and replaced so the fungus doesn't keep spreading behind fresh paint.
Scraped edges are sanded smooth and feathered so old and new coatings read as one surface, not a patchwork.
Joints, seams, and window perimeters are caulked to keep water out — the single best deterrent against the next round of rot.
Windows, roofing, hardware, decks, and plantings are masked and draped. Interiors get drop cloths and plastic sheeting before any paint is opened.
Bare and repaired surfaces are primed, then finish coats of Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin-Williams are applied to the written specification.
The same window corner on a Solidarity project: concealed dry rot opened up, rebuilt, sealed, and repainted — the failure and the fix, photographed honestly.
The work
Every photograph on this site is a Solidarity project — no stock photography, no borrowed houses.

“Hiring you was the best decision we ever made.”
Complete interior and exterior painting of a newly built home of more than 4,000 square feet — a multi-color scheme carried through every room and elevation, delivered on time and on budget.

Santa Rosa, CA
A working equestrian facility of more than 35,000 square feet — deep cleaning and rust treatment ahead of coatings, at a scale most residential painters never touch.

Fountaingrove & Larkfield, Santa Rosa
“Greg and his team at Solidarity Painting have my highest recommendation for excellence in painting.”
Exterior painting in 2008, again in 2019, interior work between — and then the interior and exterior of a second home in Larkfield. The strongest reference isn't a review; it's a client who keeps calling back.

A family legacy
Greg Kuzmicki learned the trade in 1978, painted San Francisco high-rises and Pacific Heights mansions, and founded Solidarity in Santa Rosa in 1990 with his wife Alice. Their son Adam grew up on these jobsites — journeyman, then foreman, now the manager carrying the company into its second generation.
“For People Who Require Quality”
— the tagline on every Solidarity truck since the beginning
