iHow this is made

It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

American Painting Specialists, known as APS, works from West 29th Avenue in northwest Denver and is run by Zane Zeman, who spent eight years in finance before acquiring the company. APS says it has served the Denver metro for more than 30 years, has completed more than 3,000 projects and has used about 30,000 gallons of paint. Its work is backed by a five-year workmanship warranty, which the company calls iron-clad. The site stresses cost transparency, punctuality and communication, and reviewers back that up by naming Zane, Ben, Jeff and Christian. Google shows 4.9 stars from 144 reviews, read November 2, 2026. The Google listing shows weekdays as open 24 hours, so call to confirm office hours.

    Painters paid attention to details. Paint color match was excellent. Worked diligently. Price was very fair.

  • Brendan Wiggins5.0

    Zane and his team were excellent. They gave us a fair quote, and worked with us on timing so the new garage doors could be installed before they scheduled their crew. The crew was courteous and professional, and did great work. The short list of touch-ups we needed were handled without drama. I'd recommend them highly, you'll be in good hands!

Company Background

About American Painting Specialists

Zane Zeman runs American Painting Specialists after acquiring the company, and his bio on the site says he spent eight years in finance before moving into painting. The company says its service in the Denver metro goes back more than 30 years, and it lists more than 3,000 completed projects and about 30,000 gallons of paint used. It sits on West 29th Avenue in northwest Denver and serves Denver, Englewood and surrounding suburbs for both homes and commercial properties.

The pitch is cost transparency, being on time, communication and quality products, backed by a five-year workmanship warranty that the company calls iron-clad. Reviewers back up the communication claim. One exterior customer thanked Zane and Ben for returning calls promptly, answering texts and sending photos of the work in progress, and called the price fair. Another said Ben, the supervisor, went back to the paint store to fix a color match after Christian, the painter, noticed it was wrong. A homeowner who had an entire interior painted before selling said the crew finished efficiently without disruption.

Smaller jobs get the same treatment. A garage customer said Jeff helped move items and take brackets off the wall, and gently suggested a lighter color than the dark one chosen before the paint was bought. Others had interior walls, ceilings, doors and trim done in Englewood, and an exterior job that grew to include a patio ceiling.

American Painting Specialists has 4.9 stars from 144 Google reviews, read November 2, 2026. Its Google listing shows Monday to Friday as open 24 hours, so call to confirm office hours before visiting. It suits homeowners who want a clear warranty and an owner who answers, and sellers prepping interiors. It suits less well a buyer who wants specialty finishes, which the site does not feature. Before booking, ask for a written quote, ask what the five-year warranty excludes, and check the business registration with the Colorado Secretary of State. Colorado has no state licence for painters, so ask for proof of liability insurance and, for homes built before 1978, about lead-safe practice.
