Minerva Painting Co
Owner-run painting and decorating contractor on East Bellevue Avenue in San Mateo, C33 licence on file.
Acerca de
The state contractors board lists Minerva Painting Co at 354 East Bellevue Avenue in San Mateo, the same address this directory carries, under a painting and decorating licence first issued in June 1991. The imported records spelled the name Minerva Printing, a one-letter slip; the licence record and the imported painting sub-category both point to a painting contractor. Chris Minerva is named as owner. One caution before you book: the licence record shows a different phone number from the one on this page, so confirm which line reaches the office now, and confirm the address before you visit.
Painting and decorating work
The licence is a C33, the California classification for painting and decorating contractors. That class covers preparing surfaces and applying paint, stain, varnish, texture and wallcoverings, so interior repaints, exterior work on houses and small buildings, and hanging or stripping wallpaper all sit within its scope. The business has not published a service menu of its own. Ask what it takes on today, whether it handles exterior jobs on two-storey houses, and whether wallpaper is still part of the work.
The same record shows a contractor's bond posted in June 2025 and an exemption from workers' compensation, which means the contractor reports no employees. That points to an owner-operator who does the painting in person, a good fit for a few rooms or a single elevation rather than a whole-house job on a tight deadline.
Hiring a painter in San Mateo County
Look up licence 621094 on cslb.ca.gov before work starts; the entry was current when this page was prepared and runs to mid-2027. Ask for a written estimate that names the rooms or walls, the number of coats, the paint line and who buys it. California caps the deposit on a home improvement contract, so be wary of any request for a large sum up front. In a house built before 1978, ask how old lead-based paint will be contained during scraping and sanding. Settle who moves furniture, how floors are covered and how long each room will be out of use.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow do I check a painting contractor's licence in California?
Search the licence number or business name at cslb.ca.gov. The record shows the classification (C33 for painting and decorating), whether the licence is active, the bond, and workers' compensation status.
What should a written painting estimate include?
The surfaces and rooms covered, the preparation work, the number of coats, the paint brand and sheen, who supplies materials, the start date, and a payment schedule tied to progress rather than a large deposit.
Is lead paint a concern in older San Mateo houses?
Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint under newer coats. Ask how the painter will contain dust and chips during scraping and sanding, and how the work area will be cleaned afterwards.
How long does an interior repaint usually take?
A single room is often finished in a day or two including preparation and drying; a whole floor can take a week or more. Ask for a schedule and how long each room will be unusable.
