Justin

Justin Engelbach

Justin, the founder of Fresh Coat Painters, brings a rich background of professional and personal experiences to the business. Justin graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2003 with dual degrees in Construction Management and Business Management. His career in construction began in San Diego, where he worked as a Project Engineer, completing numerous school renovations and a new elementary school project for the Ramona Unified School District.

After a two-year stint teaching English in Japan, Justin moved to San Francisco in 2006. He continued his career in construction, working on significant projects like the Hyatt Burlingame SFO renovation, the Marriott Union Square renovation, a parking structure for the city of Vallejo, and a 23-story residential high-rise in Hollywood.

Justin married Michele in 2008 and is a proud father to Maya, Ava, and Judah. Inspired by his experiences in Japan, he founded Fresh Coat Painters in 2013, focused on exceptional customer service.

Martin

Martin Montes

Martin grew up in Oxnard and graduated from Port Hueneme High School in 2004. Throughout his childhood and high school, he spent summers helping his father with his client’s construction projects. This is where his love for construction started! Being part of projects from start to finish made him proud of their accomplishments.
 
After working with his father, he spent the next 12 years in the finish carpentry trade, mostly building custom cabinets. He learned and performed the staining and painting applications for high-end cabinetry. One of his favorite aspects of construction is assisting customers during the process, helping them on a more personal level.
 
When not working, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing volleyball and soccer, walking on the beach, and playing drums.

“Our approach to business ownership mirrors my parenting philosophy: be honest, do what you promise, and build trust. Trust is the cornerstone of any successful endeavor.”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

Again, fabulous job! After our recent exterior painting several months ago (see the review in November 2022) we just hired them for some interior window painting. They did a great job, cleaned up afterwards, and were a pleasure to work with. Our windows look like new! Justin has great organization, Martin is on top of everything, and the crew were all very skilled and diligent. They are easy to contact and their responses are prompt. I highly recommend them!

Justin and his crew were super professional and easy to communicate and collaborate with throughout the whole process. If you need painting or restoration work, definitely give Fresh Coat a shout. They're top-notch, and we can't recommend them enough!

by Gabriel Miller-Smith

Rare is it to find old fashioned professionals with good service. Jeff provided excellent insights regarding a kitchen painting project and in my opinion one can rest assured the work will be done well. It's just a project that at my place needs more time to consider and save for the options.
