First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC
Auburn, Alabama 36830
Owner Blake's eco-friendly painters working Auburn and beyond.
About
First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC has been owner-operated by Blake since 2015. The Auburn-area painting and repairs company differentiates itself with two specific commitments: eco-friendly paint products on most jobs, and named project managers assigned to each customer for direct communication.
The named project manager model means homeowners aren't routed through a generic dispatch line for project updates — they have a specific person tied to their job. That structure improves communication on multi-day painting projects where status updates and small change orders come up regularly.
Services span interior and exterior painting, wood staining, deck finishing, pressure washing, soft washing, and carpentry, with a sub-vertical for school painting projects. The shop maintains operations across both Alabama and Georgia, which is broader than typical for an Auburn-based painter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns First Choice Painting & Repairs?
First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC has been owner-operated by Blake since 2015, which puts the company at about a decade in business under continuous owner leadership. That tenure has been long enough to build out the shop's eco-friendly paint positioning, develop named project manager processes, and expand operations across both Alabama and Georgia. Owner-operated structure means Blake remains personally accountable for the company's day-to-day standards.
What does eco-friendly paint mean here?
First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC stresses eco-friendly paints as part of its product positioning. Eco-friendly paints are typically low-VOC or zero-VOC products that release fewer volatile organic compounds during application and curing, which reduces indoor air quality impact and odor. For occupied homes, families with young children, or customers with sensitivities, eco-friendly products are a meaningful upgrade over conventional paint formulations.
How do named project managers work?
First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC assigns named project managers to each customer for client communication. That means homeowners have a specific person tied to their job rather than calling a generic dispatch line for updates. On multi-day painting projects with crew rotations, surface prep timing, and small change orders, having one named contact streamlines the communication and avoids the dropped-message problem that can happen at larger painting operations.
Does First Choice serve schools as a vertical?
Yes. First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC maintains a sub-vertical for school painting projects. School painting is typically scheduled around the academic calendar, with most work happening during summer breaks and shorter holidays. Specializing in that scope means the shop is set up for the timing pressures, surface prep requirements, and finish standards that school facility managers expect on summer painting projects.
Does First Choice work outside Alabama?
Yes. First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC maintains operations across both Alabama and Georgia, which is broader than the geographic footprint of most Auburn-based painters. The Auburn-Columbus corridor naturally crosses the state line, and the shop's two-state operation lets it take work on either side without it being treated as an out-of-area exception. School projects in particular often benefit from that geographic reach.
Does First Choice handle carpentry repair?
Yes. First Choice Painting & Repairs, LLC handles carpentry repairs alongside its painting services, which is reflected in the company's name. Carpentry repair before painting is essential when wood rot, damaged trim, or failed substrates would otherwise cause new paint to fail quickly. Doing both in one project means a single crew handles the prep and finish rather than coordinating separate carpenters and painters across two contracts.
