Customer Spotlight: Artemio Morga of Yaskara Painting LLC
At 99 Calls, we love shining a light on the amazing businesses we partner with. This month, we’re thrilled to feature Yaskara Painting LLC, a family-operated company led by Artemio Morga. With a deep commitment to quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction, Yaskara Painting LLC has grown from humble beginnings into a trusted name for homeowners across the Vancouver, WA region.
Business History
Yaskara Painting LLC has been a valued 99 Calls customer since 2011 and has seen incredible success over the years. Owner Artemio Morga entered the painting industry in 2000, inspired by his uncle, who helped him secure his very first job. By 2008, Artemio took the leap and launched his own painting business.
Like many small businesses, the early years were challenging. Artemio recalls one of his first projects, a $200 bedroom paint job that netted only $20 after expenses. Starting with what he calls “empty hands,” getting to a positive cash flow was his toughest hurdle. In those early days, Yaskara Painting LLC relied on newspaper ads. Not long after getting started, they partnered with 99 Calls for SEO and lead generation services.
The early years yielded tremendous lead volume. They often achieved 50-80 leads in a month from an optimized Google Business Profile and their SEO optimized website.
Beginning in 2021, the number of free search results on Google’s first page diminished sharply. Yaskara, and many other service contractors across the country, saw their organic lead volume plummet. Luckily, 99 Calls and Artemio worked together and embraced best practices for digital marketing early on. This included maintaining a strong online presence with regular updates, adding photos and running promotions, as well as initiating a Google Ads campaign, and later, a Google LSA campaign. Yaskara continues to benefit from strong lead generation through SEO, Google Ads, and Google LSA.
To date, Yaskara Painting’s partnership with 99 Calls lead generation has yielded:
- 1,500+ leads through Google Ads
- 5,236+ leads organically
- 650+ leads through Google Local Service Ads (LSA)
These results speak to the tremendous power of consistency with marketing and the effectiveness of a strong digital presence.
Core Services and Certifications
Yaskara Painting LLC holds a contractor’s license and is EPA certified, ensuring safe handling of lead-based paint. Their core services include:
- Interior & exterior painting
- Cabinet painting (a cost-effective alternative to replacement)
- Deck and fence staining (typically as part of larger exterior projects)
- Drywall and texturing services
In addition, they provide dry rot repair and complimentary color consultations with an interior designer for clients booking full interior or exterior painting jobs, value-added services that truly set them apart from the local competition.
Company Differentiators and Mission
What makes Yaskara Painting LLC unique is its “do it right the first time” philosophy. Artemio and his team pride themselves on avoiding shortcuts, honoring warranties, and delivering on every promise made. Their dedication is backed by a two-year workmanship warranty—often extended well beyond that period to maintain strong client relationships.
Family plays a central role in the business, with cousins, uncles, Artemio’s wife Maria, and their son Victor all contributing to operations. Victor is pursuing a degree in marketing and manages their social media platforms. This family-run dynamic brings a personal touch to every project, reinforcing their mission to ensure customer satisfaction from start to finish.
Marketing and Growth Strategy
Yaskara Painting LLC continues to thrive through diverse marketing channels. While SEO and Google Ads remain their strongest and primary lead sources, they’ve also tested Facebook and Instagram campaigns. Through their partnership with 99 Calls, Yaskara Painting has consistently generated a steady flow of exclusive leads, ensuring higher-quality opportunities and sustainable growth.
Looking ahead, Yaskara Painting LLC has set an ambitious five-year goal of expanding its team from 12 to 21 employees. This growth strategy reflects their steady increase in demand and their commitment to meeting the needs of local homeowners.
