“I’m a general contractor here in Central Oregon and we were hit with a massive challenge that my company could not resolve. We needed to remove existing siding to reframe a large door opening. After failing to source the custom siding that was originally installed in Tetherow, we decided to mill our own custom shiplap to match the existing. Problemo being, the original siding was a pre-finished material that has weathered over the past 10-15 years in the harsh afternoon sun. Even the paint store could not match the colors required. This is where the master came in. Paul mixed and blended his own formula onsite to a PERFECT match of stain color AND transparency. If you know, you know. That’s an incredible undertaking that takes decades to master. Custom painting is the GOAT of stain matching in my opinion. Jobsite was super tidy, communication was on point and project was completed in such a timely manner.

Thank you Paul and Custom Painting.

Y’all kick serious booty! 100% will hire on the next one. 12/10 experience!”

“Paul & his team did a great job staining the outside of our townhouse. He spent detailed time matching the right outside stain color after a remodel & even came back to finish the job on Saturday due to poor weather conditions the day before. I highly recommend his company for your staining or painting needs & his high attention to detail throughout the whole process of the job is what impressed me the most.”

"Paul and his crew of painters did an exceptional job of painting my son's house at Widgi Creek. They also did some exterior painting on my house as well as some interior painting which was very well done. They refinished some antique children's chairs for me, and they turned out wonderfully well. I am so pleased with the painting and expertise that Paul and his painters have done for me and my son. I highly recommend them."

“Paul is a master craftsman. He takes enormous pride in his team's work, and he loves to tackle jobs that require next level talent and focus. He painted our house, stained our pergola; then he stained our solid wood front door, trim and exposed beams. That last job was a bear; the previous owners applied so many coats of finish you couldn't even see the woodgrain. His team spent days sanding and stripping... and the result is magical. I highly recommend CPR.”

I highly recommend Paul and Custom Painting and Refinishing!”

"Paul's team was skilled, hardworking, and very friendly. The quality of the work was outstanding. Our deck and door look brand new. Highly recommend Bend Custom Painting."

~James Ferguson


"We hired Custom Painting & Refinishing to paint our home and Paul and his employees did a great job.

Paul consulted with us on color choices and gave us good advice on a nice combination of colors that went well with our redwood decking. We were very satisfied with the work done and the attention to detail. Originally our home was painted in a dark green color that had faded in a few years to a drab shade of green. Paul guaranteed his work and used a high quality paint with a much better finish.

Now every time I come home I am proud of the way our home looks and would recommend Bend Custom Painting & Refinishing for anyone looking to paint their home."

~Michael Edwards and Dana Stigal


"It is with pleasure that I recommend Custom Painting & Refinishing.

Paul Tkachenko refinished our cedar desk to a like new condition on schedule. Paul's work ethic and attention to the smallest details is a rarity today, and one can rest assured knowing your project will be completed to your satisfaction."

~Peter Marshall


"It is my pleasure to recommend Paul Tkachenko and Custom Painting & Refinishing.

His company recently painted the exterior of my 2200 sq ft home and stained the front deck. Paul made the process easy, as he helped us decide on a color scheme which pleased both my wife and I (not an easy thing to do). His prices were reasonable, his manner professional, and he and his crew completed the job in under a week, even with spots of bad weather causing some delay. 

What impressed me most about Paul is his thoughtful manner. This is not someone who rushes into things. 'Measure twice, cut once' is the phrase that comes to mind. He wants to do the job right, not for his sake, but for the customer."

~Dave and Debra Shirley

~Jim and Barbara Tsourmas


“Paul and his team refinished my front door. It's a custom made, solid white oak door and over the last 10 years exhibited the usual weather-related wear and tear. They were professional, clean and did an absolutely FABULOUS job. I highly recommend them. And they also do Xmas lights as the season approaches. ;)”
