Scotty’s Painting
Scotty’s Painting - A Central Valley Legacy Since 1965
An example of their excellent work
In a fast-changing world, it’s rare to find a business that not only stands the test of time but thrives across generations. Yet for homeowners and business owners across California’s Central Valley, Scotty’s Painting has been a name synonymous with quality, professionalism, and family values since 1965.
What began as a small local venture over 60 years ago has grown into one of the region’s most trusted painting companies. Founded by Joe Head, Scotty’s Painting was built on principles of hard work, honesty, and hands-on service. That legacy was carried forward by Joe’s son, Brian Head, who upheld those values for many years and added his own meticulous approach to customer care.
Deep Roots, Local Focus
Based in Escalon, Scotty’s Painting proudly serves clients throughout Modesto, Manteca, Oakdale, Ripon, Riverbank, and neighboring communities. This strong local focus allows the company to maintain a level of personal service that’s hard to find in today’s marketplace. Whether repainting a family home, refinishing kitchen cabinets, or updating a commercial property, Scotty’s Painting approaches every project with the same care and attention to detail.
Brian Head became known for his personal involvement in every job. Rather than sending crews out and checking in from the office, he visited each worksite daily, often multiple times, making sure timelines were met, expectations were exceeded, and that clients always felt heard. That kind of leadership helped build the company’s reputation and kept customers coming back, sometimes decades later.
More Than Just a Paint Job
Scotty’s Painting offers a full range of services, including interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck restoration, trim replacement, and even concrete floor refinishing. Every job is fully insured and backed by a valid California Contractor License (#1123003). Whether a project is residential or commercial, large or small, Scotty’s Painting combines the tools of a modern contractor with the approachability of a neighborhood business.
Clients often comment on the professionalism and energy of the crew, many of whom have been with the company for years. With over 60 years of combined experience among them, Scotty’s team delivers not just clean, efficient results, but lasting peace of mind.
Built on Reputation
Over the years, Scotty’s Painting has earned a loyal following, not through flashy advertising, but through consistent, high-quality work and word-of-mouth referrals. Testimonials from customers highlight traits that never go out of style: punctuality, precision, fair pricing, and integrity.
One couple recently shared their experience:
“Brian and his crew painted the interior of our house and refinished our cabinets. Not only were they clean, careful, and on time, but the quality was beyond anything we expected. Brian is one of the most honest contractors we’ve ever worked with.”

Another long-time client noted that they first used Scotty’s Painting 26 years ago and didn’t hesitate to call them again when it came time for a refresh, proof that quality work really does stand the test of time.
Reviews on platforms like Yelp and the Better Business Bureau echo these sentiments, consistently praising the company’s reliability, craftsmanship, and responsive service.
A Partner in Protecting Your Property
According to Brian Head, painting isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about protecting what matters.
“Paint isn’t just about style or color preference,” he says. “A quality paint job will help protect your real estate investment. That’s why we take time to do it right.”

That philosophy is evident in every aspect of Scotty’s Painting, from the prep work and material selection to cleanup and follow-through. It’s not just about finishing a job, it’s about building relationships that last just as long as the paint on the walls.
