House Painters in Rochester, NY, Who Handle It From Start to Finish
You know what you want. A crisp finished home, a crew that shows up when it said, and no one to chase for a status update. Bates Brothers Painting runs the project the way you'd run it yourself if painting were how you spent your week. It isn't, so you don't have to.

Painting Done the Way Your Home Deserves
Your home is one of the biggest things you own and one of the more visible ones your neighbors see. It also spends more time in weather than any other purchase you've made. Painting it well isn't just a finish decision. It's how you protect cedar from Rochester winters, how you keep aluminum siding looking like the front of a Rochester home should look, and how you get an interior that reads the way you pictured it when you moved in.
Bates Brothers Painting focuses on residential work across Pittsford, Brighton, Fairport, Victor, and Honeoye Falls. Interior. Exterior. Exterior staining. Cedar shake to crown molding, front porch to back deck. Your home gets a crew that treats it like the asset it is, and you get a project that stays on schedule.
The kind of paint job you don't have to think about while it's happening
What We Paint in Your Rochester Home
Walls, trim, crown molding, ceilings, and drywall patching. Furniture protected, floors covered, cleanup done at the end of each day so you can live in your house while it's being painted.
Cedar siding, cedar shake, aluminum, vinyl, wood, hardboard, cement board, and metalwork. Real prep, real product, real longevity. Backed by a 5-year written warranty.
Exterior wood surfaces given the stain they need. Cedar siding, back decks, wood trim. Product matched to the species, sun exposure, and how the surface actually gets used.
A Small, Sharp Operation That's Built for This Market
Bates Brothers Painting is a residential painting company based on the east side of Rochester, focused entirely on Rochester's eastern suburbs. Founded by Max Bates in 2023, the operation stays deliberately small so the work stays deliberately good.
That means no rotating crews of subcontractors, no faceless sales rep handing you off to a foreman you've never met, and no chasing someone down for an answer. Max runs the project himself, and the same small team is on your property from the first prep day to the final walkthrough.
The result is what a well-run painting job is supposed to look like. Prep that's actually done, cuts that are actually sharp, trim that lines up, and a job site that gets picked up each night.
The Owner You'll Actually Work With
Max Bates, Owner, and On Every Job
The operation is Max's. He founded the business in 2023 after enough years on other crews to know how a residential paint job should be run, and enough time as a homeowner himself to know how it feels to have strangers in your house for a week.
Walks every estimate personally, checks the work daily, and hands you the written warranty at the end. If something needs to be decided on your project, he decides it. If something needs to be fixed, he fixes it. You are not passed to a "customer success" line.
What Makes Us Different
Why Homeowners in Rochester Hire Bates Brothers
Max is the estimate, the project manager, and the point of contact. You get one number and one name, from first call to final walkthrough.
An update at the end of each work day. A schedule you actually get to see. Answers to your questions the same day you ask them, not the following week.
Not a spoken promise, not fine print at the bottom of an invoice. Exterior projects get a 5-year written warranty. Interior projects get a 3-year written warranty. Both handed to you at completion, both in your name.
No commercial jobs, no epoxy floors, no chasing every kind of work. Just interior, exterior, and staining on well-kept homes in the eastern suburbs. That focus is why the finish is what it is.
Drop cloths laid before work starts. Tools picked up before the crew leaves. A home that stays livable through the project, not one you have to camp around.
Recent Work Across the Eastern Suburbs
Cedar shake refreshed on a colonial in Pittsford. Interior repaint on a Brighton home with original 1950s trim. A deck restained after five Rochester winters in Fairport. Aluminum siding rebrought to color on a Victor split-level. The projects change. The standard doesn't.
Proudly Local
We Only Paint the Homes We Can Actually Serve Well
Bates Brothers Painting is deliberately focused. The service area is the east side of Rochester and the towns that ring it: Pittsford, Brighton, Fairport, Victor, and Honeoye Falls. That's not a marketing radius, it's the actual driving-time footprint of a small, owner-led operation.
The homes here are worth the extra care. Older gumwood trim in Brighton. Cedar-heavy exteriors in Pittsford. Larger properties out toward Honeoye Falls and Mendon. Bates Brothers paints the surfaces this market actually has, not a generic script.
Written, Signed, and In Your Name
The 5-Year Written Warranty
Every exterior painting project we complete comes with a written 5-year warranty, handed to you in person at the final walkthrough. If a covered exterior finish fails within those five years, we come back and fix it. That's the whole point of putting it in writing.
The warranty is in your name, not tied to some third-party program that stops answering the phone. It's a document from Max, backed by the same operation that painted the house.
Interior painting comes with a 3-year written warranty, issued the same way. Same document, same accountability, same operation standing behind it.
