Paint and stain that honors the home it lives on.

From cedar siding on a lakeside cabin to interior repaints in a Whitefish farmhouse, we finish every surface with the same standard — quietly, carefully, and built for the way Montana weathers.

What We Finish

Built for every surface a Montana home asks of us.

Whether you're refreshing a kitchen, sealing a deck, or staining a full log exterior — we bring the same crew, the same standard, and the same finish quality to every job.

01

Interior Painting

Repaints, color consultation, trim and millwork, ceilings and accent walls. Done clean, masked carefully, finished where it matters most.

  • Full home repaints
  • Color consultation included
  • Trim, doors, and millwork
  • Drywall repair and prep
02

Exterior Painting & Staining

Siding, trim, decks, fences, and outbuildings. Built for Montana winters — we use products that hold up to UV, snow load, and the swing between seasons.

  • Deck and fence staining
  • Pressure wash and prep included
  • Sherwin-Williams & Benjamin Moore
03

Cabinet Refinishing

Kitchen and bath cabinets refinished in our shop or on site. The fastest, cleanest way to transform a kitchen without a full remodel.

How We Work

A clean process, honest timelines, no surprises.

Step One

Walk-Through

We visit your place, look at every surface, and talk through what you want done — colors, finishes, timelines, and any concerns about prep or weather.

Step Two

Estimate

Written quote within 48 hours, broken out by surface and product. No vague lump sums. You see exactly what's included and what isn't.

Step Three

Prep & Paint

Surface prep is where good jobs separate from cheap ones. We mask, repair, sand, and prime before we ever open a finish coat. Daily clean-up included.

Step Four

Final Walk

We walk the job with you, touch up anything that needs it, and leave you with leftover paint and color codes labeled for any future touch-up.

Why Pro-Tect

The same crew. Every time.

No subcontractors swapping in. No shortcut on prep. No surprise charges. Just a small Montana crew that shows up when we say, finishes what we start, and stands behind the work.

  • 01
    Owner on every job

    You'll meet the owner at the estimate and see him on site during the work — not just on day one.

  • 02
    Prep first, paint second

    Most callbacks come from poor prep. We mask, repair, sand, and prime carefully — the finish is only as good as the surface underneath.

  • 03
    Premium products only

    Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Benjamin Moore Aura, Sikkens for exterior wood. We won't quote a job we can't finish with products built to last.

  • 04
    Built for Montana weather

    UV at altitude, snow load, the freeze-thaw cycle — we plan around the conditions your home actually faces, not a national average.

  • 05
    Licensed, bonded, insured

    Full coverage on every job, residential and commercial. Documentation provided before work begins.

  • 06
    Warranty on every finish

    If a finish fails because of our application, we come back and fix it. No back-and-forth, no fine print.

What Clients Say

Quiet work, loud results.

“They stained our entire lake house cedar exterior over two weeks. Two years in, it still looks like the day they finished. Found my new painter for life.”

Sarah & Mike L.
Whitefish, MT

“We had three quotes for our kitchen cabinets. Pro-Tect wasn't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who explained how they'd actually prep the wood. Worth every dollar.”

David R.
Bigfork, MT

“Full interior repaint on a 3,400 sq ft farmhouse. Crew was respectful, masked everything carefully, finished a day early. Found through a neighbor and will recommend the same way.”
