Quality is not great

We had an extremely nightmarish experience with the most unscrupulous contractor we've had the misfortune of working with. After a number of issues, which I'll detail, he left our project without completing it and with significant delays along the way and is now demanding *full* payment, threatening us with a mechanical lien. It all started when we had our kitchen remodeled and our general contractor messed up the cabinet painting. So we hired Andy to paint our kitchen cabinets professionally plus a kitchen door and window. He was pleasant and eager to land our business but once he got it, he was anything but. Our door had a lot of peeling paint and dings and scuffs, and grimy caulking on the window. I asked if he was going to sand down the old, peeling paint but he said he would just put a special primer that would 'dissolve' the old peeling paint. It didn't sound right to me, but I let him start on the window. He did almost no prep - no sanding, no fixing scuffs and dents and no removing the old dirty caulking. When I asked him - he really did not like being questioned and got really irked when he realized he wasn't going to get away with cutting corners. He also told me he is going to charge for touch-up paint, which seemed reasonable to me. But imagine my shock when I saw in his invoice a charge of $460 for getting touch-up paint! Doing the touch-ups was already included in his scope- this was just for purchasing touch-up paint including $300 for trips to the paint store! He also got annoyed when I requested if he could try and install sooner as we had a graduation party planned. He accused me of 'micro-managing' him and that I ask too many questions. But it gets worse. Somehow he decided that completing our job to a good standard was not worth his effort. He sends me an email saying he will install the cabinet doors but not the handles. Wait what? Our cabinets would be unusable without handles and they would have scratches from trying to open them without handles. So this is how callous and vindictive Andy is. He comes the next day and is rushing to get the doors installed, and starts admonishing me for not having already emptied the kitchen counter, that the floors were dirty and that I should have not gone into the kitchen because "I was kicking up dust." I could not believe this was happening. He then gets enraged at something, dumps our cabinet doors and drawers on our porch and storms off. The next day he sends a termination letter with an invoice for the full cost of the cabinet refinishing and voiding all warranties! Fast forward a month and another painter has to finish the job. This guy actually spent a whole day meticulously prepping the door and window, sanding and filling up dents, which shows the kind of corners Andy was cutting. He is demanding the full payment for a job he did not complete and is placing a lien. Overall a painful, awful experience that I hope no-one else has to go through.

I cannot speak highly enough about this company! They were worth every penny !!!! Andy the owner gave us a bid with competitive pricing and offering more than any of the other contractors. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Priscilla consulted us with colors and renderings and made it easy to choose what we liked. Their communication was prompt, extremely flexible and helpful!! Their crew was very professional, punctual, caring, and obviously passionate for their craft. The entire company bent over backwards to make us happy and made everything easy for us. They took their time to do the job right and exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier. We highly recommend this company, and definitely would hire them again!

Andy and Priscilla Meono were some of the best people to work with! I hired them for multiple jobs in my house including: repainting the entire exterior, interior, and repainting my kitchen cabinets. I waited over a year to post this review as I wanted to ensure everything was durable and held up and it did! I have really bad OCD and high standards. Andy and Priscilla understood and answered all my questions and ensured I was happy despite how picky I am. They took care of me like I was one of their own and for that I am grateful. I am not easy to work with. Andy remained patient and answered all my questions and concerns. The paint all held up over time and still looks great. The prices and value was the best in the area. All the employees were hard working and very respectful. Thank you both! I highly recommend them!

Andy Meono and his crew painted our house in February 2026. They did and incredible job and went the extra mile at every turn, even clearing blocked window weeps that the builder had over sprayed with stucco. They used excellent quality paint and primed the entire house. The crew was so kind. And Priscilla, who does color consultation, helped so much with choosing just the right colors. We are thrilled with the result! I definitely recommend them!

I'll just let the pictures do the talking! People stop at my house to ask what color it is and who did it. It's basically a new house!

Love this company. They did an outstanding job on our home. We had some wood repair and the entire exterior of our home painted. We also had 3 interior bedrooms painted. This was a large job and Andy, the owner, and his crew completed everything as promised with incredible value and incredible quality of work. The attention to detail in every phase of our job was truly impressive. Priscilla, Andy's wife, gave us a computer generated image of the colors we were considering on our home prior to the job beginning. It made the process of choosing the correct color a breeze. We had 5 estimates on this large job and Andy beat all the competitors. We will be using them again in the future. I highly recommend A. Meano Painting.

A. Meono Painting are true pros. Not my lowest bid, but a reasonable one, and he offered something that other painters didn't and that was to prime the whole house after it was prepped. The wood on the front of my house had been beaten by the Sun for 15 years, and it was cracked and splitting, and the paint was peeling off and it was in really bad shape. First they power-washed the whole two-story house. Then they did an excellent job filling in cracks and prepping the wood. Then they primed the whole house and used an extra thick primer on some of the wood on my porch. Andy is the owner, and his wife Priscilla worked with me on selecting colors and giving me computer renditions of what my house would look like with those colors on it... then actual large painted sample of the colors just to be sure... they have a great crew and are truly a pro operation. They used Sherwin-Williams best exterior paint "Emerald", and it turned out beautifully. They started on a Tuesday and were done Saturday. I would highly recommend A. Meono Painting. You will not be disappointed. Three photos below: brfore, after being prepped, and final.

4-color painting job turned out better than I imagined!

We talked to several painters in the East Contra Costa area to determine which firm would be the right fit. This is the most difficult trade to hire, as there are many underqualified contractors. Meono Paining stood out clearly from the pack: the owner, Andy Meono impressed us with his knowledge of the industry and conditions in the area; he had local examples of his work to visit and impressed us with a no-shortcut approach to prepping our house.  But most importantly, Andy is on the job and a problem solver. Every condition that arose [and there are always a bunch of these] he handled with a 'no problem' we'll take care of it" attitude and he did take care of every wrinkle, be it carpentry, buying needed parts, or contributing to the problem-solving process.  I couldn't recommend Meono Painting more highly and will definitely use them again.

Andy and his crew did an amazing job! They painted front room, kitchen, family room, master bedroom and ceilings. We wanted a custom design accent wall in our master and they far exceeded our expectations. Andy is responsive, reliable and professional, as is his entire crew. We will definitely use them for any future painting needs.

When we decided to paint our house, Andy's contact info was given to me and the person who had her house painted raved about the great job he did. From the moment I contacted him about the paint job, everything was so easy to do- from scheduling the start date to choosing colors and any questions we had. The nice touch was the email that followed-- an itemized invoice-- to show the project he was going to undertake. I'm a huge texter and so a lot of our contact was through texting and email. I loved being able to text whenever I had a question. That alone was a huge plus. We saw our house come together day by day and each day was exciting than the last. The details were nicely done and the paint he uses--Kelly Moore-- is a reputable brand. As my husband and I did a walk around on the last day of the job-- I was so excited to finally have the house on the block that wasn't worn-out looking anymore! The trim was painted nice and white just as I had wanted and our door was a nice shade of blue as I requested as well. We got lucky the week he painted because our area is foggy and during the painting project- the days were warm and sunny. Definitely it was meant to be! I would definitely agree that "There is no Handy without Andy!"

These are the cabinets before painting. Ignore wallpaper as Andy removed that in my first project but these are best pics I had.

I can't say enough good things about David and the team at Paintmasters. We had a hole in our…read morewall/ceiling that a plumber had to cut open to fix some water damage, and we needed someone reliable to come repair and repaint it seamlessly. From the first call, David was responsive and easy to work with -- he scheduled us quickly and clearly explained what the job would involve. The work itself was excellent. You genuinely cannot tell there was ever a hole there -- the patch, texture, and paint match are flawless. David and his crew were professional, tidy, and clearly take real pride in their craft. What stood out most was how honest they were about pricing. No upselling, no surprise charges, no nickel-and-diming -- just fair, transparent pricing for quality work. In a world where so many transactions feel rushed and impersonal, it was refreshing to work with a small business owner who actually cares about doing the job right. We will absolutely be using Paintmasters for any painting or repair needs in the future, and I'd recommend them to anyone in the Concord area without hesitation. Thanks again, David -- great work!

After interviewing and receiving five bids on a three-room painting job, we selected Paintmasters…read morebased on their professionalism and detailed bid on the project. What truly differentiated Paintmasters from the competition were three factors: (1) complete painting of eight (8) doors by taking them to their shop to achieve an exceptional finish, (2) outstanding attention to detail and demonstrating integrity and premium workmanship, and (3) the company is Diamond Certified. After each work day, the master painters left the areas spotless. They cleaned up after themselves by vacuuming and removing any and all traces of dust and paint. At the project's completion, they left the three rooms immaculate and beautifully painted. The name of the company, Paintmasters, fully reflects their brand and who they are. David Miles and his team, particularly Juan, are masters of their trade. Save yourself the time and expense associated with paint job quotes by selecting Paintmasters. It' will provide a positive return on investment for years to come.

Once again, he went above and beyond -- took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail on the cabinet work alone was remarkable. What also stood out was how smooth the entire process was from beginning to end. Scheduling through their office manager Lupe was a breeze -- she was organized, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. That kind of seamless coordination from the first phone call all the way to the final brush stroke is rare, and XAS Painting nailed it. If you're looking for a painting company that combines fair pricing, outstanding craftsmanship, and true professionalism at every level, XAS Painting is the one to call. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them without reservation.
