About
Mike Estes started Estes Painting Company in 1999 and has built it over 25 years into a 15-person operation working across Birmingham. The firm reports that 85% of new business comes from customer referrals, which is unusually high in a service category that typically depends on advertising.
All painters are background-checked and drug-screened before being put on jobs, and the team carries specialized equipment including a crane for taller buildings. That setup lets the company work multi-story residences and commercial buildings other smaller painters can't safely access.
Services include residential and commercial painting, painted brick and stucco, faux finishes and texture coatings, power washing, carpentry, deck installation and repair, and window and door replacement. The firm covers Birmingham, Greystone, Inverness, and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who founded Estes Painting Company?
Estes Painting Company was founded by Mike Estes in 1999. Mike still owns the firm and has grown it from a single painter to a 15-person operation. He remains involved in operations and customer relationships, which is a meaningful continuity factor in a 25-year-old business.
Does Estes Painting screen its painters?
Estes Painting Company conducts background checks and drug screens on all painters before putting them on customer projects. That screening process is one of the points the firm emphasizes when explaining how it manages quality and trust. Customers in residential settings appreciate knowing crew members have been vetted.
How does Estes Painting paint tall buildings?
Estes Painting Company maintains specialized equipment including a crane for taller buildings. That equipment lets the team safely paint multi-story residential and commercial buildings that smaller painters with only standard ladders can't access. The crane also supports power washing and carpentry on hard-to-reach surfaces.
How much of Estes Painting's work is referrals?
Estes Painting Company reports that approximately 85% of its painting business comes from customer referrals. That referral rate is a meaningful signal in a service category that typically depends on heavy paid advertising. It also matches the firm's 25-year tenure in the Birmingham market.
What towns does Estes Painting cover?
Estes Painting Company operates across seven Alabama communities including Birmingham, Greystone, Homewood, Hoover, Inverness, Mountain Brook, and Vestavia. From those areas, the firm has served thousands of residential and commercial clients over more than 25 years. Service coverage extends to the broader Birmingham metro.
Does Estes Painting do carpentry?
Estes Painting Company handles carpentry in addition to its painting work. That includes deck installation and repair, plus window and door replacement. Bundling carpentry with paint matters when wood rot or trim damage is found during exterior prep, since the same crew can address both.
