About us

A painting firm that comes back

Most painters finish a job and leave. We built a business around the year after.

Second Look Painting is two crews, twenty people and one habit: go back to houses we, or someone else, have painted. Clarice Currie started it after watching good paint jobs go to waste because nobody looked at them in year two.

  • Two crews, Blue and Yellow, named for the tape they carry

  • A scheduler who books visits in the quiet months

  • A written list after every visit

The crews

Twenty people, two crews, seven names to know

Blue crew does most inside visits and Yellow does the outside, each named for the tape it carries. These seven set your schedule and write your list.

  • Clarice Currie

    Owner and membership lead

    Walks every new member’s house herself, writes the color record and signs the first list.

  • Rufino Balderas

    Blue crew lead, inside visits

    Leads the crew that does most inside visits. Keeps the roller, the tape and the patience.

  • Shalini Chauhan

    Yellow crew lead, outside work

    Leads the crew for porches, trim, shutters and entries, and the spring look-over.

  • Ira Appleby

    Visit scheduler

    Calls members in the quiet months to set the visit. Rufino and Shalini both depend on his calendar.

  • Narciso Calvillo

    Painter, Blue crew

    Patching, sanding and cut-in work on inside visits.

  • Tunde Abara

    Painter, Yellow crew

    Caulk, spot-prime and exterior trim.

  • Lottie Askew

    Painter, doors and trim

    Hinge edges, casings and stair rails, which wear first.
