ABOUT ME - Meet Caleb

SERVING CDA and THE greater area from sandpoint to Moscow

At Lake City Painting, I bring the skill and attention to detail needed to ensure your project is completed to the highest standards.

Hi, I’m Caleb Emory, owner and operator of Lake City Painting in Hayden, Idaho. I started this business because I genuinely enjoy improving homes and businesses and making them look their best. There’s something rewarding about taking a space that feels worn down or outdated and giving it new life with a high‑quality paint job.

As the person you’ll work with directly, I take pride in handling every step of the process myself. With years of hands‑on experience, I know the details matter — proper prep work, quality materials, clear communication, and making sure the finished result looks clean and professional.

I use only high‑quality paints and products so your home or business not only looks great when the job is finished, but continues looking great for years to come. Whether it’s a full exterior repaint, interior refresh, or commercial project, my goal is always the same: deliver work I’m proud to stand behind and make the process as smooth and stress‑free as possible.

At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident knowing you hired someone who truly cares about the outcome. I’d love the opportunity to bring your vision to life and make your property look its best.

He is great at what he does. When we met Caleb we were at the end of a multi month interior and exterior makeover. We were fairly worn out with the renovation process and had interacted with our share of vendors. From the very beginning, Caleb gave us a smooth and great experience. He surpassed expectations in every way.

We hired Caleb for our exterior trim painting, and the entire process was outstanding. He made everything feel seamless, from discussing what we wanted and helping us work through the details to making sure the finished product looked exactly like it should. We never felt like we had to worry about whether the details were being handled.  We genuinely felt like we were in good hands.

His attention to detail was one of the best experiences we had throughout our entire renovation. Caleb treated the project with so much precision and care.  He was incredibly honest and accommodating we felt like we knew our options and plan to have him back to do more in the future. The lines were clean, the finish was beautiful, and the transformation was exactly what we were hoping for. He clearly takes pride in his work, and it shows.

Caleb was genuinely pleasant to work with. He was friendly, professional, respectful of our property, and his cleanup was absolutely spotless. After having such a long renovation experience, that made a huge difference to us.

We would absolutely recommend Caleb for exterior and any interior painting projects. If you are looking for someone who is meticulous, dependable, fairly priced, easy to work with, and genuinely takes pride in doing things right, Caleb is your guy. We couldn’t be happier with the work he did!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Caleb was professional, punctual, and his communication was great. I had a small indoor project on my high ceiling and hard to reach walls that he said he could knock out quick and was even able to get me in before my scheduled day by communicating with me and planning my indoor project around poor weather. Gave me a great deal and did great work. He painted the ceiling with a flat finish white I already had and the two walls a satin finish grey I already had too. Put me in a spot to complete the rest myself! Gave me a great deal and did great work. I would recommend him, and will call him again for any other painting jobs that I would need!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lake City Painting is beyond exceptional!  We have lived here for over 30yrs and in four different homes never have we been so impressed!  Our current house is only 8yrs old and painted very poorly by builder.  After our Lake City Paint job it has never looked so good!!  We have 4 different colors and three different types of siding.  All surfaces are beyond excellent.   You will not find more integrity, professionalism and honesty in another company.  They are our go to painter!  Thank you Caleb!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lake City Painting is simply the best. I was unsure of what colors to paint my house and their team helped me choose the right ones. This is not usually included in painting services and I am so thankful. I absolutely love how the colors turned out and everything matched perfectly. I highly recommend Lake City Painting for anyone’s home or business needs. You will love the results!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Caleb just completed painting my Dad’s house and did an amazing job.  The house hasn’t looked this beautiful for years!

Caleb was so friendly and hard working - it was a pleasure to have him on the job.
He went above and beyond; when prepping the house he also power washed Dad’s deck which was quite weathered. It looks brand new!

He arrived every morning by 7am ready to get to work - and finished the job a day ahead of time!

I would highly recommend this fine company to anyone needing painting done!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Caleb is an outstanding young man with old fashioned work ethic. He painted the entire inside of our new home by hand with no spraying, leaving a spot free home upon completion in the time frame he quoted. I can’t share enough compliments but he is a breath of fresh air & I see great success in his future. I look forward to our next painting project with him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lake City Painting is easy to recommend! They painted my fascia and house trim. The job was done quickly and well, and they even checked in a week later to confirm everything dried correctly. Great communication was one thing that really stood out. Caleb is an extremely professional person to work with, which makes everything easier. We will be hiring again!
