Websites for Painting Contractors
Your portfolio does the selling. Your website should too.
Homeowners hire painters based on past work. A professional site that shows your best projects and earns trust before the phone rings.
Built for your trade
We get painters.
Generic website builders are built for everyone, which means they are optimized for no one. A painter has specific needs: the right services listed, the right trust signals visible, and the right search terms targeted so local customers find you.
Seattle's wet climate means exterior paint work has a defined season, and homeowners start searching in late winter to book spring slots.
Services we cover on your site
Why it matters
Problems a good painter website solves
Before-and-after photos going nowhere
You take photos of every job, but they live on your phone. A site built for painters puts that visual proof front and center, organized by room type, exterior color scheme, or neighborhood.
Neighbors are your best leads -- and they never find you
Word spreads street by street in residential painting. Local SEO tied to your specific service areas means neighbors searching for painters in their zip code find you first.
Standing out from lowball competition
When a homeowner can see your past work, read what past customers said, and understand your process, price is no longer the only factor. Quality businesses win on trust, not bids.
Interior vs. exterior -- they are different customers
The person searching for cabinet refinishing is not the same person searching for exterior repaint. A well-structured site speaks to both without confusion.
What you get
Everything a serious website needs.
No templates. No drag-and-drop limitations. A real website, built for your business, that you own when we are done.
Custom design
Built around how painters work and what your customers need to see before they call. Not a template with your name swapped in.
You own it
The code, the domain, the content. All yours from day one. No monthly platform fee required to keep your site online.
Ongoing care
Updates, security, backups, and edits handled for you monthly. Text or call when something needs to change. No tickets, no waiting.
Fast loading
Hosted on global CDN infrastructure. Fast load times on every device, including customers searching on mobile from the job site.
The real cost over 3 years
What you actually pay, and what you actually own.
A subscription website service feels cheap at first. After three years, the math looks different -- especially when you realize you own nothing if you stop paying.
Nothing. Cancel and the site goes dark.
A custom site, but you paid for it three times over.
Everything. Site, domain, code, content.
Pro plan is $4,063 over 3 years and adds reviews and Google Business Profile management.
Cedar Basic estimate: $499 build fee plus $49/mo care plan over 36 months ($499 + $1,764 = $2,263). Cedar Pro estimate: $499 build fee plus $99/mo over 36 months ($499 + $3,564 = $4,063). Subscription pricing reflects the typical $200 to $300 per month range across the category.
Common questions
Questions we hear often.
How is this different from a directory listing?
A directory listing is a profile someone else controls. Your own website is a permanent home you own -- your domain, your content, your contact form, your branding. When a customer searches for a painter in their neighborhood, a real website ranks better than a listing and converts better when they land on it.
What about running ads instead?
Ads and a website are not the same thing. Ads cost money every day and stop working the moment you stop paying. A website keeps working for years, earns organic search traffic over time, and gives paid ad campaigns somewhere credible to land. Most painters who rely only on ads are paying for leads they could have been earning for free.
How long does it take to get a site built?
Most sites launch within 2 to 3 weeks from the first call. We build a working preview before you pay a cent, so you see your site first, give feedback, and we refine it. The process is fast because we do most of the work. You just need to approve things.
Will I own the site when it is done?
Yes. The code, the domain, the content, and everything else belongs to you. There is no platform to stay subscribed to. If you ever want to move to a different host or work with someone else, you take every file and credential with you. Nothing is held hostage.
