Integrity. Trust. Family.

From Denver in the 1990s to Kansas City today.

In the 1990s, Paul started painting homes in Denver under the name Stroke of Genius. He built his reputation the slow way, with careful prep, clean lines, and customers who trusted him enough to hand over their house keys.

Today his daughter McCartney carries that legacy forward in Kansas City. Same values, same standards, same promise: treat every home like family lives there. Because to us, they do.

Good Questions

Everything homeowners ask us, answered straight.

Do you require a deposit?

No. Catalyst Painting never asks for a deposit. You pay nothing until the project is complete. It removes the biggest risk of hiring a contractor, and it keeps us accountable to you from start to finish.

How much does it cost to paint a house in the Kansas City metro?

Every home is different, so we give free, no-pressure estimates instead of guessing. Price depends on size, prep work, siding material, and paint choice. Your estimate is honest and upfront, with no surprises later. Request one online in 30 seconds or call 913.549.9885.

What paint do you use?

We use premium Sherwin-Williams products matched to each surface and to Kansas City weather. Quality paint costs a little more up front and lasts years longer, which is also why we can stand behind our work with a 5-year workmanship warranty.

How long does a typical project take?

Most interiors take one to ten days, and most full exteriors take four to seven, depending on size and weather. You get a clear schedule before we start, we show up when we say we will, and we clean up after ourselves.

Is Catalyst Painting licensed and insured?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, woman-owned, and family-run, with 15+ years of painting experience behind every crew. You can relax with our people in and around your home, and your property is protected the entire time.

What does the 5-year workmanship warranty cover?

If our workmanship fails within five years, think peeling, cracking, or blistering caused by prep or application, we come back and make it right at no cost. It does not cover normal wear or damage. The full plain-language details live on our Warranty page.
