Hi! My name is Don Clasen, owner of Palisades Painting (formerly Applied Painting), a business I started with a friend way back in 1979 in little Mt. Morris, Illinois. Over the years I have painted literally hundreds of homes and businesses, both interiors and exteriors. Since moving to Los Angeles to be a writer, I’ve scaled back a lot from having a crew and extensive equipment. Now I just paint by myself, but you can benefit from my years of experience and expertise.
In fact, you can think of me as a niche, boutique business. On my site you can learn about my work and philosophy as well as articles about painting and decorating that you can use on your own as well. I have tried to design this site with a tasteful blend of colors that reflect my sense of style along with tributes to the beauty found in the Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas. I hope you enjoy the experience.
What kind of services can I offer to you?
-Interior and exterior work—walls, trim, ceilings, cabinets, baths, etc.
-Front door restoration—stain & polyurethane, paint, etc.
-Metal gates, wrought iron, decks, outdoor furniture, etc.
Since the most important part of painting is often found in the prep, it’s a step in the process I take seriously, especially the exterior so the house can be sealed up. I can also do minor handyman work if needed. You can probably save money just from having me do it rather than calling specialists who are looking for larger jobs.
So don’t hesitate to call or text me. No obligation for a free consultative visit.
