About Us

Family-owned and locally operated since 1996, led by founder Jeff Sommers.

Our story

Jeff Sommers started painting at 15, when his grandfather asked him to paint his house. He loved it. In 1996 he launched ESP Painting, and he has been at the helm for 27 years as President.

At ESP Painting, we've been proud to serve the Portland community since 1996. As a family-owned and locally operated company, we've built our reputation by helping homeowners and business owners bring new life to their properties with high-quality interior and exterior painting.

How we work

Our collaborative planning process is designed to help you select your colors with confidence, prepare you for your project so there are no surprises, and ensure every detail of your project is covered.

We show up on time, work efficiently, and leave your space clean - treating every home or commercial space with the respect it deserves.

  • Free consultation: a project consultant shows you samples, explains the process, and takes measurements
  • An accurate written proposal, guaranteed for 6 months
  • A dedicated project manager handles all the details on your behalf

Licensed, bonded and insured

Licensed, bonded, and insured, you can trust that when we're painting your home or business we apply the latest techniques and use green and eco-friendly products. Our commitment to integrity, reliability, efficiency, and exceeding our customers' expectations are how we thrive as a painting company.
