About Us

We are the owners of Craftsman Painting & Finishing, Zachary and Kelley Schoop and we want to thank you for taking the time to review our company! We live locally on the Northshore where we raise our 3 kids and run our business. We have spent the last decade working in the painting trades, we have 20+ years of experience in construction and both grew up with parents who worked in the trades. We also each spent many years working in the fine dining and hospitality industry in New Orleans.

We have a small crew of native Louisianians who work alongside us on every job. It is important to us to support local Louisiana businesses as much as possible and to strengthen our community by employing local tradesmen. We take pride in our work and are customer service driven. We believe in treating every home as if it were our own and every customer as if our own neighbor.

"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail." - John Wooden

The painting process involves many steps prior to applying the paint. These steps are what create a quality and lasting job. We take pride to prepare our work professionally using industry leading technologies. We work with our paint suppliers/manufacturers to stay up to date on the best products and applicators to ensure craftsmanship on each job that will hold up over time.
