Bates Painting

Bates Painting Your Home is Our Canvas. Providing quality painting services for Kansas City since 1979. Why hire an applicator, when you can hire an artist?

Bates Painting Company's mission is to deliver the highest quality painting experience for homeowners and businesses in the Kansas City area. The owners, Doug and Donna Bates are dedicated to providing a finished product far superior to traditional painting companies. Using detailed preparation, along with top-of-the-line materials and application techniques, your home or business will stand out as a “Work of Art” rather than just another “paint job”.

Sometimes the biggest transformation in a home comes from the simplest change. 🎨

A new paint color can completely shift the feeling of a space. Brighter. Warmer. More modern. More calming. More you.

“Painting is the easiest and most cost-effective way to refresh any room in your home.”
– Ariel Ashe, Interior Designer

At Bates Painting Company, we believe great painting is about more than just covering walls. It’s about understanding how color, lighting, texture, and finish all work together to create a space that feels right.

Your Home Is Our Canvas, and sometimes a fresh perspective starts with a fresh coat of paint.

You can hire the cheapest painter in town.
You can also get a tattoo in someone’s garage.

We wouldn’t recommend either.

At Bates Painting Company, we believe craftsmanship is worth doing right the first time.

Ever notice how some walls feel flat… while others feel alive?

That soft, textured, old-world finish you’ve been seeing in luxury interiors lately is likely limewash. And while it’s beautiful, it’s also very different from traditional paint.

Unlike modern acrylic paint that sits on top of the wall, limewash becomes part of the surface itself, creating movement, depth, and a natural patina that changes with the light throughout the day.

As Doug says, “People don’t just want a color. They want to know it’s going to feel right in their space.”

In our latest blog, we break down:
• The difference between limewash and traditional paint
• Why limewash is called a “living finish”
• Where it works best in a home
• Maintenance, durability, and breathability
• Why application technique matters so much

Your Home Is Our Canvas, and choosing the right finish is just as important as choosing the right color.

These custom-stained ceilings at True North Farm completely transformed the feel of the space.

Natural wood tones add warmth, texture, and character in a way that paint alone simply can’t. From the prep work to the final finish, projects like this require patience, craftsmanship, and attention to detail every step of the way.

Huge shoutout to Jonathan and Johan for the incredible work on this project.

Your Home Is Our Canvas, and sometimes the details above your head become the feature that ties everything together.

Choosing a paint color can quickly turn into a full-blown relationship drama.

“What do you want?!”

“I don’t know… WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”

One minute, you love the color. The next minute, it looks too gray, too beige, too green, too blue, or somehow all four at once.

That’s where Doug comes in.

With Bates Painting Company’s color consultations, there’s no need for the emotional spiral in the paint aisle. Doug helps narrow down the right colors based on your lighting, finishes, furniture, artwork, and overall vision so you can stop staring at 47 nearly identical off-whites.

Your Home Is Our Canvas, and choosing the right color should actually be fun.

🎨 Real brushes. Real quality. Real results.
Katherine, we’re honored by your trust—and wow, what a compliment to know that your neighbors lined up next! 🧡 Thank you for highlighting our commitment to craftsmanship, professionalism, and long-lasting finishes.

💬 “Bates Painting is the real deal in house painting companies. It is a family business, very professional and very responsive. They paint with REAL BRUSHES, not sprayers. They do that kind of paint job that will last and last. They painted my home 3 years ago. Three neighbors saw their work and met their lovely staff and got in line for Bates to paint their houses. I give them my highest recommendation!!” — Katherine Hoggard ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🏡 When you love your work, it shows—and so does the paint.

Some of the most impactful parts of a project are the ones you almost miss.

Today’s work is all about the details. Transforming hardware to look like authentic brass. Adding a subtle pinstripe inside cabinet trim. Layering in finishes that elevate the entire space without overwhelming it.

These are the touches that take a project from finished to refined.

“I just have an attention to detail and have a steady hand, and I care about what a product looks like.”

Your Home Is Our Canvas, and it’s the small details that bring it all together.

What happens after the job is finished matters just as much as the work itself.

We don’t just leave leftover paint behind. We leave it organized, labeled, and ready for you to use.

Every can is neatly sealed, clearly marked with where it was used, and easy to reference if you ever need a touch-up or want to match the color in the future. No guessing. No digging through unmarked cans.

It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference over time.

“We’ve built a team that you feel like you’re getting art.”

Your Home Is Our Canvas, and that care carries all the way through to the final step.

Some days are meant for celebration. Today is for remembrance.

Memorial Day is a time to honor and reflect on the lives given in service to our country. The sacrifice, the courage, and the legacy left behind.

It’s a reminder to slow down, to be grateful, and to recognize the cost of the freedoms we live with every day.

At Bates Painting, we believe the spaces we create matter because of the lives lived inside them. Your Home Is Our Canvas, and today we’re especially mindful of those who gave everything so others could have a place to call home.

We remember.
