Derek Pulos, a.k.a. "​The Paint Saint"

Customer service is everything.

The Paint Saint Founder Derek Pulos grew up in Leadville. His family moved to Salida when he was in his teens. After serving in the Navy, he developed his painting and refinishing skills and passion by working as an apprentice and later running his own business in the Denver area. He chooses to do most of his painting by hand, without taping, even detail-heavy jobs. ​

When you are hiring someone, knowledge is power. Check references and get multiple bids.

When you are hiring someone, knowledge is power. Make sure you take time to check your painter’s references and talk to their other customers. Derek encourages everyone to get at least three bids on their job.

References available upon request.

The Paint Saint does much of his magic by hand.

Finishing touches really make the happy colors pop!

I especially enjoy the detail of Victorian houses.

Derek enjoys the satisfaction of seeing a property transform from weather-beaten and dull to clean, colorful, and gleaming.
