Integrity. Trust. Family.
In the 1990s, Paul started painting homes in Denver under the name Stroke of Genius. No shortcuts, no excuses, just careful prep, clean lines, and customers who kept calling back. His reputation was built one home at a time.
Today his daughter McCartney runs Catalyst Painting in Kansas City on the same foundation. The company has grown, the crews have grown, but the standard hasn't moved an inch: do it right, communicate clearly, and never take a dollar before the work is done.
That last part is real, by the way. We never ask for a deposit. You pay nothing until the job is complete. It's the simplest way we know to prove that our work, not our paperwork, is what earns your payment.
Honest quotes, honest timelines, honest answers. If something doesn't need painting, we'll tell you. If we make a mistake, we fix it. That's why we can work with no deposit: our word is the contract that matters.
You're letting a crew into your home. Ours is licensed, insured, courteous, and careful, and we keep you informed every day. The 5-year workmanship warranty means the trust doesn't end when the job does.
Catalyst is family-run and woman-owned, and it paints like it. We treat every home like family lives there, because to the people who live there, everything about it matters.
15+ years of painting experience. 87+ five-star reviews. Licensed and insured. Premium Sherwin-Williams products on every job. A 5-year workmanship warranty in writing. And the promise that started it all: no deposit, ever.
We're proud to be woman-owned in an industry where that's still rare, and prouder of what it means for you: a company where care, communication, and follow-through aren't add-ons. They're the whole point.
