Stephen Kardum Paining | House Painting in Sonoma Valley

Kardum Painting Inc. (License # 1145923)

Thank you for your interest in Kardum Painting. Our family has been painting in the Northbay and Sonoma County area since 1938. During that time my family has gained knowledge and experience with all aspects of the painting industry as well as branding their own mark on it’s history with the beginning of The Painted Ladies back in 1963 (Butch Kardum). As mentioned Kardum Painting was established in 1938 by my Grandfather George Kardum, his three sons (Butch, Pete and Steve) learned under his guidance and all went on to start their own successful painting companies. While most of the family primarily worked in the Bay Area, my dad (Steve Kardum) branched out and opened his business to both Sonoma and Napa County where his hard work, talented color collaborations and solid work ethic opened Kardum Painting to an even broader spectrum. I grew up working with my dad in the early 90’s just as him and my Uncle’s did with their dad and after graduating college in 2006 I went on to work with my dad full time until 2016 when he retired and I took over the family business, making me the third generation of the Kardum Painting legacy.

Here are a handful of local establishments we’ve worked on over the years: Mary’s Pizza on the Square, The Red Grape, Carneros Restaurant at the Lodge, Sebastiani Winery, The Depot Hotel, Viansa Winery, Glen Ellen Market, Salt & Stone, TIPS Roadside, Cuneo Apartments, Schell Vista Firehouse, Agua Caliente Firehouse, just to name a few.

We specialize in both interior and exterior painting and are more than happy to help you with color design if needed. I have found that a quality paint job starts with the prep work followed by proper primers and finish coats. The materials we use are primarily Benjamin Moore products, but are always open to using any other products that you may prefer. My crew is very capable of all aspects of the painting business including interior and exterior painting, staining and re-finishing cabinets, interior trim, doors, furniture, decks, etc. We are always available to address all of your painting needs. We consider no job too small from painting a bathroom to the entirety of a house. We feel that once you try us you will use us again. My crew is always respectful of you and your home, we strive to make the whole process as convenient for the customer as possible. Please contact us with the form below or call for a free estimate and allow us to help you make your house a home.

Thank you.

  Kardum was recommended to me and I am beyond happy I had Nick and his team paint my home. I highly recommend them. They are thorough, pay attention to detail, are friendly and accommodating, quick to reply, professional, and absolutely amazing. I smile every time I see my home and how much better it looks since they repainted it. The crew also made me smile and laugh a lot as they were working. Great people. Great company. Highly highly recommend!!! Kardum is the best!! I will be using them again for future painting.

  I recently had my house painted by Kardum Painting Inc., and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the first day to the final brush stroke, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to every detail. Nick took the time to answer all my questions, kept me informed throughout the project, and made sure I was happy and comfortable with every step of the process. Worthy to note because I was very impressed…. The team kept everything very clean and organized! At the end of each day, the work area was spotless.  I hardly knew that they had been there. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The finished product looks fantastic, and the attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. It's rare to find a contractor who combines exceptional craftsmanship with such great customer service, but Kardum Painting delivers both. If you're looking for a painting company that is reliable, professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, call Kardum Painting Inc. Five stars doesn’t seem like enough but it’s all Google will give me.  Thank you Nick and crew!

  Nick at Kardum just finished up a new stain coat on our 25 year old deck. Nick responded to our original inquiry with a couple of hours and everything he promised was on time and well done. Pricing was reasonable considering the excellent quality.  Would highly recommend. Pat Collins Sonoma

  We had an outstanding experience with Kardum Painting, Inc. They restored our sweet red barn beautifully and completely transformed the trim on our home—it looks like a brand-new place. Their professionalism is truly top-notch, and their team consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire project. Our home has shingle siding, which requires extra care and precision when painting trim, and they handled it with incredible attention to detail. From start to finish, the communication, craftsmanship, and pride in their work really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality painting work.

  We hired Kardum Painting to do the entire exterior of our house and guest house.  We have alot of windows and french doors in our home as well as trellis work. They thoroughly spray washed the buildings, impeccable prepping of all surfaces with quality finishl   Nick and his team were extremely professional.  Always on time and here when they said they would be here.   They made the work as minimally intrusive as one could.  Always clean when they left. Communication with Nick was impeccable.  Besides all that, just a real good company with really great management and employees.  You will not be disappointed.

  This is the second time we've used Nick and his team at Kardum Painting--we love their work. We had dry wall issues that Nick wanted to address before painting began and he referred us to a stellar dry-waller who completed the work with excellent attention to detail. Once the dry wall work was done, Kardum Painting came in a few days later and did a beautiful job matching the paint we already had (especially difficult since the company that made the original paint doesn't even exist anymore!), and painting everything flawlessly. The price was absolutely reasonable, as well.  Plus, they left our home *cleaner" than it was when they first arrived! We will *always* use Kardum Painting in the future for any and all painting projects!
