About Us

Denver's commercial surfaces company — built on trust, one building at a time.

Family owned and operated since 1992. No subcontracted labor, no surprise change orders, and a crew that shows up when we say we will. Now, with the addition of Stonetec's specialty concrete and stone capabilities, we are the most comprehensive commercial surfaces company on the Front Range.

Who we are

A family-owned firm with zero subcontracted labor.

Rob Cooney founded Preferred Painting in 1992 with a simple philosophy: do great work, treat people right, and the business will follow. Thirty-plus years later, that philosophy hasn't changed — and neither has the team's commitment to it.

Under Chris Miller's leadership as President, we've grown from a painting-only contractor to a full-service commercial surfaces company. In 2024 we acquired Stonetec, adding concrete polishing, stone restoration, and specialty surface capabilities that no other painting contractor in Colorado can match.

Every person you see on your job site is a Preferred Painting employee. We don't sub out. We don't cut corners. And we don't walk away from a project until you're satisfied.

Our commitments

What you can count on from us

Not a marketing checklist — these are the things we hold ourselves accountable to on every single job.

We show up on time

Reliable scheduling is the foundation of our reputation. When we say we start Monday, we start Monday. We communicate proactively if anything changes.

We charge what we quoted

Fixed-price quotes, period. No surprise change orders, no scope creep billed at the end. What we quote is what you pay, unless you ask us to do something different.

We leave it cleaner

End-of-day cleanup is not optional. Drop cloths, masking, overspray — all gone before we leave. Your tenants should barely know we were there.

No subcontracted labor

Every person on your job site is a Preferred Painting employee. We interview them, train them, and stand behind their work. No day-labor surprises.

We communicate every step

Daily progress updates, proactive problem-solving, and a single point of contact who knows your project inside and out. You'll never have to chase us for a status update.

Licensed, bonded, insured

Full general liability, workers' compensation, and contractor bonding. EPA Lead-Safe certified. You're protected, and so are your tenants.
