Kelly Brothers Painting

What Kelly Brothers Painting does

Kelly Brothers Painting, Inc. is a family-owned residential and commercial painting contractor founded in 2002 by brothers Bill and Kevin Kelly in Truckee, California, with sister Erin Kelly joining shortly after to lead color consulting. The company operates two offices — its Truckee, CA headquarters at 11020 Trails End Court (Pioneer Commerce Center) and a Reno, NV office opened in 2020 at 1765 Lewis St — and employs nearly 100 painters, estimators, and operational staff serving the greater Reno-Tahoe region including Sparks, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe communities.

The service portfolio spans interior and exterior painting and staining, custom finishing (cabinetry, furniture, trim, epoxy/cement coatings, wall coverings), dedicated color consulting, drywall installation and finishing, commercial painting, and a seasonal Snow & Ice Dam Removal offering that uses low-pressure steam technology. Service delivery is sales-led: professional estimators (at least four on staff) provide free on-site assessments producing detailed proposals with video documentation, with supplementary inbound via website and phone.

The business model is predominantly one-time project revenue on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis across residential and commercial clients, supplemented by seasonal professional-services revenue from snow/ice dam removal billed at $140 per man-hour and an affiliate referral revenue share from a Synchrony Financial consumer-financing partnership offering 0% interest for 18 months. The company holds California (CA Lic.#822843) and Nevada (NV Lic.#68238) contractor licenses, is LEED certified, and supports a community-based Paint it Forward program that donates services to nonprofits and residents in need.
