About Negrete Painting & More
An owner-run painting company serving Durham, Raleigh and the wider Triangle.
Our Story
Negrete Painting & More was started by Eulogio Negrete Salazar on a simple idea: a paint job is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Anyone can roll a finish coat onto a wall. Very few crews will spend the first two days washing, scraping, patching, caulking and priming — which is the only reason a finish survives a Carolina summer.
From our home base in Durham we cover Durham, Wake, Orange and Granville County — Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Cary, Butner and Creedmoor. Residential interior and exterior painting, commercial painting, drywall and cleaning all run through the same crew, which is why our schedules hold and our quotes do not drift. It also means one company repairs the wall, paints it, and hands the room back clean — instead of you chasing three separate trades.
We’re a registered North Carolina LLC, we carry insurance, and we’re bilingual — se habla español. We work Monday through Saturday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm with availability for extended hours, and every job starts with a free, written estimate.
What We Stand For
We Show Up
A real start date, not a vague window. If weather moves us, you hear it from us first.
Straight Answers
If a wall needs replacing rather than patching, we say so — even though it costs us the job.
Prep Done Right
Washed, scraped, patched, caulked and primed before a finish coat. That is where a lasting job is won.
Local & Bilingual
Durham-based, working the Triangle every week, and comfortable in English or Spanish.
Our Mission
Leave every property looking better than the owner expected, with a finish that still looks right in year five. We prep the way we would on our own house, and we would rather lose a bid than cut the step that makes it last.
Our Promise
You get the price in writing before we start, and you walk the finished work with us in daylight before we leave. If you spot something, we touch it up then and there — no argument, no invoice.
