Evergreen Painting & Texture is a family-run painting company in San Jose. Interior and exterior painting, texture, cabinet refinishing, staining, power washing and gutter care — for homeowners and commercial properties across the Bay Area.
Evergreen Painting & Texture was founded by Hugo and Pattie Guerra and named after the Evergreen community in San Jose they have called home for more than two decades. That is not a marketing line — it is the reason the work looks the way it does. When your customers are your neighbors, there is nowhere to hide a rushed prep job.
For over 25 years we have delivered residential and commercial painting throughout the Bay Area, using high-quality primers, paints and equipment on every surface we touch: wood, stucco, vinyl, concrete and brick. We mask, we patch, we sand, we protect what we are not painting, and we clean up at the end of every day — not just at the end of the job.
Clear communication and a quote you can trust matter as much to us as the finish itself. We will tell you honestly what your home needs, and just as honestly what it does not.
Most homes need more than paint. Keeping it all with one experienced team means the prep, the finish and the exterior maintenance are handled to the same standard — and scheduled around each other properly.
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, stairwells and full interiors. We protect floors and fixtures, repair the surface first, and lay down a smooth, even finish that looks right in every light.
For a professional and experienced team of exterior painters, look no further. Our exterior work covers all types of surfaces, including wood, stucco, vinyl, concrete and brick — prepped properly for Bay Area sun and winter rain.
Your best source for cabinet painting and refinishing in San Jose. Paint, stain or fully refinish — a kitchen upgrade for a fraction of replacement, without tearing your house apart.
Decks take the worst of it — sun, rain and foot traffic. We will keep yours looking good for years: staining, cleaning, restoration, arbors and pergolas. Our expert stainers leave wood looking new again.
Sometimes the house does not need paint — it needs a wash. We pressure wash siding, concrete and hard surfaces at the right pressure for the material, whether it is prep for painting or standalone cleaning.
Clean gutters move rainwater away from your roof, siding and foundation. Clogged ones cause roof damage, wood rot, leaks, pests and ruined exterior paint. We clear them thoroughly as part of your home’s exterior maintenance.
Cabinet refinishing is the single biggest change most homeowners can make without a remodel. These are real Evergreen projects — same cabinets, same layout, no demolition.
Original oak cabinetry degreased, sanded, bond-primed and finished in a durable satin white. Existing granite and appliances untouched — the room reads brand new without a single cabinet being replaced.
The photo on the left is what proper prep actually looks like: every opening masked, counters and floors covered, hardware removed. Two weeks later the same kitchen is bright, crisp and easy to keep clean.
Craftsman exteriors, hillside stucco, Mediterranean villas, ranch homes, stairwells and kitchens — a selection of completed Evergreen Painting & Texture projects.
You will know who is coming, what is happening each day, and when it will be finished before we open a single can of paint.
Hugo comes out, looks at the actual surfaces, and talks through what the job really needs — in person, not over a form.
A clear scope and price. You will not be oversold; if something can wait a year, we will say so.
Not sure on color? We help you narrow it down and sample large areas on your own wall so you can see it in your light.
Furniture moved and covered, floors and fixtures masked, surfaces washed, patched, sanded and primed. This is where the finish is won.
Coats applied, then we walk the job ourselves before you do — and fix what we find. Clean site every evening at 5pm.
Not add-ons, not line items to negotiate — this is simply how we work on a $2,000 room and a whole-house exterior alike.
Estimates are free and there is no obligation. Every home is different — square footage, surface condition, number of colors, height and access all change the number, so we do not quote a real project sight-unseen.
What you get instead is a walk-through with the owner, a written scope in plain language, and a firm price for that scope. If you want to phase the work over two seasons to spread the cost, we will lay out how.
Residential and commercial projects both welcome. Interior, exterior, or both at once.
Our shop is in San Jose 95148 and most of our work sits within a short drive of it — including the neighborhoods we live in.

Real reviews from Evergreen Painting & Texture customers.
“We had a great experience working with Hugo and his team. He was helpful in picking out paint colors and providing large areas to sample on the wall. He properly prepped and cleaned before painting and the team was prompt and diligent in their work. Hugo really went over and beyond in terms of detail and touching up fixtures. We really appreciated their service and would proudly recommend them and use them again!”
“I could not be any happier with the work of Evergreen Painting and Texture. They not only transformed my tired looking house into a beautiful home that makes me happy every time I pull into my driveway, but they also took care of what cannot be seen to help protect my home from water damage.”
“They are very professional, start every morning at 8am sharp and cleanup each day at 5pm and they will keep to that schedule. Hugo will go over the house with you very carefully during the quoting and will not oversell you. I’ll bet you he will meet or exceed everybody in quality and beat them in price. Lastly, they use good quality material. I urge you to at least get a quote from these guys.”
“Hugo Guerra and Evergreen Painting are fabulous! I would definitely recommend him and his crew, and they went way beyond my expectations! The prep work to start was long and tedious given that the prior paint job wasn’t correctly applied, and their attention to detail was impeccable. As I had many questions, Hugo was always very patient explaining the process in a very thorough manner.”
“Hugo and his team are exceptional. Excellent workmanship, on time every day, and extremely professional. They painted the entire interior of our home from floor to ceiling, including the inside of the cabinets. All areas were painted beautifully with perfect attention to detail. My neighbors who witnessed the project were very impressed with how clean and organized they conducted their job.”
“During the remodel I was working with many subcontractors directly and I can tell you without question, Hugo and Evergreen Painting were by far the most professional to work with. His team are experts in their craft and super polite. At the end of the job I was ready to create a punch list, but Hugo came in and went through it meticulously himself. He is a perfectionist.”
Every material needs different prep, different primer and different pressure. Guessing is how paint fails in three years instead of lasting ten.

It depends on the surfaces, their condition, the height and access, how many colors, and how much repair is needed first. That is exactly why the estimate is free and done in person — you get a real number for your home instead of a range that changes once we arrive.
Yes. We will help you narrow down options and put large sample areas directly on your wall so you can live with them for a day or two in your own light before committing.
A single room can be a day or two; a full interior or a whole-house exterior usually runs one to two weeks depending on prep. You will get a schedule with your estimate, and we work 8am to 5pm so the days are predictable.
Almost always, yes. We work in sections, mask thoroughly, and clean up at the end of every day specifically so your home stays livable while the project is running.
Both. Evergreen Painting & Texture supplies residential and commercial clients with the same standard of preparation and finish.
For solid boxes in good shape, it is one of the highest-value changes you can make to a kitchen — a fraction of replacement cost, no demolition, and done in days rather than weeks. If the boxes themselves are failing we will tell you that instead.
Typically somewhere between eight and twelve years, depending on sun exposure, the surface, and how well it was prepped last time. South and west-facing walls always go first. If it is close, we will tell you honestly whether it can wait another season.
Yes, both are offered on their own. Many customers schedule gutter cleaning as regular exterior maintenance to protect the roof, fascia, siding and foundation from water damage.
We are based in San Jose 95148 and serve the surrounding Bay Area — Evergreen, Willow Glen, Almaden, Berryessa, Cambrian, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Morgan Hill and beyond. If you are not sure, call and ask.
