Truckee & North Lake Tahoe
Painters who finish when they said they would
Interior, exterior, cabinets, and decks, done with crisp lines and a written line-item estimate you get in one business day. Family run in Truckee since 2009.
“The estimate listed every surface and every coat. The final invoice matched it to the dollar. That never happens.”
Why Ridgeline
Straight lines, honest timelines.
Two things go wrong with painters up here. The bid is a vague number that grows halfway through, and the crew disappears for a week in the middle of your job. We built this company around fixing both.
Every estimate is line-itemed by surface, coat, and product. Every job gets a start date and a crew lead's name in writing. And nothing gets invoiced until you've walked it with us and you're happy.
The Ridgeline Promise
We don't ask for final payment until you've walked the job with us and you're happy. If something isn't right, we fix it before we cash the check.
What we paint
Four things, done properly
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors done with crisp cut lines and floors you'd eat off when we leave.

Exterior Painting
Finishes chosen for Tahoe winters, applied in the window that actually lets them cure.

Cabinet Refinishing
A sprayed factory-grade finish on the cabinets you already own, for a fraction of replacement.

Deck & Fence Staining
Stripping, sanding, and staining that brings gray weathered wood back to life.

Same house. Same deck. Same wall.
Painting is easy to photograph well and hard to fake. These are single jobs, stopped halfway or shot from the same spot twice.

Walk it with you
We look at the actual surfaces, talk through color, and flag the prep nobody else mentions.
- 2
Written line-item estimate
Every surface, coat, and product listed. One business day, no fine print, no vague lump sum.
- 3
Start date in writing
You get a date and a crew lead's name. We show up on it, and we tell you the moment anything changes.
- 4
Walk it again before you pay
Punch list together, fixes handled, then the invoice. That order, every time.
Commercial
HOAs, businesses, and resorts
Association repaints that a board can vote on in one meeting. Restaurants and offices painted overnight so you never close. Lodge exteriors scheduled backward from opening weekend.

Word of mouth, in writing
What neighbors say when the tape comes off
★★★★★
Interior Painting“They masked more carefully than I would have in my own house. Not one drop anywhere, and the trim lines are razor sharp.”
★★★★★
Interior Painting“The estimate listed every surface and every coat. The final invoice matched it to the dollar. That never happens.”
★★★★★
Exterior Painting“Third painter we've hired on this house and the first one whose work still looks new after four winters.”
The crew
Same people, job after job
We're a small shop on purpose. No rotating day-labor crews, no subcontracted mystery painters. The people who show up at your house are the people who have been here for years, and they're the reason our work looks the same on job number four hundred as it did on job number four.
You'll meet your crew lead at the estimate. You'll have their name before we start, and you'll see them every day until it's done.
Serving Truckee, Tahoe Donner, Glenshire, Martis Camp, Tahoe City, Kings Beach, Incline Village, and Northstar.
