I used Accolade Painting for years on commercial buildings when I was a property manager. Until I went to their web site I had no idea they painted homes. I received two bids and then called Al and after discussing painting my home and got a fair price I went with Accolade. The crew led by the foreman Bryan was professional, knowledgeable and did a GREAT job. The whole team of Al, Tom and Bryan are the best and I can without reservation recommend Accolade Painting for both your home and commercial painting needs. read more

Accolade Painting - This one of many. Will be contacting everyone that had there personal info left out for anyone. - Painters Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been using Accolade painting for many years, and for good reason. They end result is always great and at a very reasonable cost. As a real estate agent, I've assisted many clients in getting their homes ready to sell. I also have buyers and past clients that contact me asking for a painter recommendation. I don't hesitate to recommend Al Yanez. Both Al and Tom, (as well as their crew), have stepped in countless times to help my clients and I, and I will continue to recommend them in the future. Thank you Al (and Tom) for all your help over the years!! read more

It had been eight years since the 76 condominiums and townhouses in my complex had been painted. As the Project Manager, I held a "walk-thru" with 5 different painting contractors and my choice this year was Accolade Painting, based in San Jose. This is the 3rd time I have been involved in the painting of our 40 year old condo complex, about every 8 years. Plus, I have managed several smaller painting projects. To cut to the chase here-this is, by far, the very best painting job our complex has ever had! The care they took in preparations and the meticulous painting itself is truly commendable. My being very much a "hands-on" person, I was at the site daily. Dealing with the two owners, Tom and Al, was seamless. Within a week of their start date, the Covid-19 virus hit; and there were a series of starts and stops. Often decisions were made in the evening, regarding if they were to work the next day. Through it all, they remained so flexible and understanding. Those two men have a lot of integrity. They never once made a promise or committment they did not honor. And that, in itself, is hard to find these days. All of their employees, from their foreman, Bryan, right on down the line, were exceedingly well-mannered and polite with all of the residents. And there were a lot of "stay-at-home" people, due to Covid-19. I received so many compliments, not only about the painting itself (an A+), but also how diligent the painters were about being careful & respectful of people's privacy and possessions. And how, at the end of every day, there was no evidence they had even been there-the grounds were spotless! Needless to say, I have no hesitation at all, in giving the highest accolades possible to Accolade Painting! read more

We heard about Accolade through a friend who had recently had the exterior of their home painted by them. We were not disappointed when we hired them to paint the exterior of our home too. Al was attentive and always available throughout the job. He had great suggestions for improving the look of our house. His crew was consistently punctual, extremely polite, and willing to do whatever we requested. My partner is an engineer (if you know engineers, you know how anal they can be - hey it's true and makes them great at their jobs) and he was more than pleased with Accolade's work. Hire them! read more

Working with Tom and Al was a great experience. We did the entire interior of our home, the fireplace, the new baseboards including caulking, every interior door and our beloved front door. We had a newborn, I was tired and I was picky on the exact paint colors (from two different suppliers). It was never a problem. The team was on time, polite and CLEAN. The gal that we corresponded with through email was always quick to respond and nice. With a newborn and a toddler they never left a mess, no horrible paint fumes and never made us feel in the way. They moved all of our items so they could manuever around section to section and provided the plastic for covering the furniture. WE made a mistake on the sheen after an entire first day of painting and they fixed it the very next day. Not only did they re-do it, the evening we found out we wanted a different sheen, Al came by and listened to exactly what we wanted. It was evening time, post dinner. That customer service does not exist anymore. There were no corners that were cut! Even with the mistake we made, they finished a day early. I have and would recommend Accolade over and over. read more

Excellent job as expected! I trust no one else but Accolade's for all of my interior and exterior painting needs. Al and his crew were great - jet washing my home exterior, sanding, patching, fixing dry rot and mold, priming and painting. They paid detail attention to making our home bright and beautiful! Thank you Tom and Al! read more

Accolade Painting - Our beautiful home with a fresh coat of paint by Accolade Painting. Thanks Al and Tom. - Painters Near Me - San Jose, California

Al and his team painted our house for the third time. We've had a great experience with them each time. They finished in two days and it looks great (it didn't take long because our house wood was in good shape). We are very pleased and I've also heard from friends we've recommended them to and they are quite pleased with the work/results as well. read more

We can't be happier with our exterior painting. It is done really neat and detailed oriented. Thanks Tom for your fabulous customer service and thanks to your team for their amazing job. read more

Accolade painting is a great company. I have used them externally and internally in both my homes in the willow glen area. The team is skilled, professional, reliable and give great advice. One of my most favorite moments was when we were painting a box ceiling and Al and his guys painted it two different ways so I could see my options when I got home. It caused them more work but they really wanted me to be happy with the choice. And I have several stories of this level of customer service. They have painted the full exterior of our homes twice and helped me with two separate kitchen renovations that included painting out the cupboards. These guys rock and I can't say enough good things about them. read more

Al Yanez and his crew repainted my whole house and did a fantastic job! They are flexible, reliable and reasonably priced. Their prep work was really thorough and they came back right away for touch ups. I recommend them highly as a homeowner and a professional interior designer and will surely use their services again. Lucile Glessner read more

They just repainted the outside of my house, and the work is exceptional. I highly recommend them for any project. My family likes the work so much they all use them too! They walked through step by step with paint selection, rendering, price and the project details. Their team is courteous and provides excellent customer service. (They even called to alert me of when they would arrive.) The work was completed on time, on budget, and great quality. The team was very professional while at my house, and even made sure to do a detailed clean up after. The exterior of my house looks pristine. Thank you Accolade Painting! read more

My husband and I were very pleased with the exterior house painting done by Al Yanez and his Accolade Painting crew. Before the work got started, Al discussed our color choices, trends, and explained how the process would go. Our house had been painted 18 years prior by Accolade Painting as well, but weather, a new roof and years of sun exposure made it necessary to paint again. We couldn't be happier! We love our new color, and Accolade spent a considerable amount of time on the prep work. Anyone can slap on a new coat of paint, but prepping the house RIGHT is what Accolade does best. They spent almost two days pressure washing, scraping, sanding, patching and getting ready to paint. We were so happy they did! It looks amazing. You wouldn't believe the number of neighbors who have complimented us on the house. Thank you, Al for keeping a close eye on the project throughout the process. read more

My parents recently got their house painted, and were so pleased with the service, that they wanted me to post this review for them. We are so very pleased with the exterior paint job of our home by Accolade Painting. Al Yanez and his employees are very professional, knowledgable, skilled, and friendly. Al was very punctual with our appointment and quick to email me a great estimate. The crew was so thorough and detailed in prepping my house (which was so important and made such a big difference). The paint job was equally wonderful. The painting was impressive--adding more coats of paint when needed, so exact with the trim, careful with the awning when doing the second story, and detailed with the fixtures (surprised me; what a difference!) They were also so very neat and cleaned up after each day. Accolade has done the most excellent job...very impressive. We love it! Two of my neighbors have already asked for their card. Thanks, Jane F read more

Accolade Painting did a terrific job painting the outside of our two story home in Willow Glen February 2nd - February 8th 2021. They power washed, made necessary repairs and their team of 8 painted the last 3 days. They did everything that they promised plus extras. They were pleasant, prompt and efficient. We received daily updates from the on site foreman. They cleaned up upon leaving each day. The payment was not due until we were completely satisfied. We would highly recommend this company. read more

We hired Accolade to paint our living room, dining room and a large masterbedroom, all with vaulted ceilings. Al is very personable, responsive, and easy to work with. His team is awesome - they are courteous, professional, respectful and hardworking. We are very happy with quality of the job and would not hesitate to use them again! read more

Accolade Painting painted my apartment complex. This was the first time a contractor has satisfied my standards with no complaints. They finished in a timely manner. The work crew was clean and friendly. The quality of the finished job was much better than I have ever had before. I highly recommend Accolade Painting to anyone that wants a quality, hassle-free paint job. read more

These guys are the best! They painted the exterior of my house for a great price and absolute attention to detail. The work was done on time and in a very professional manner. One of the details that I really appreciated was the fact that there was no sign of over-spray anyware. They actually dug the soil from around my house slightly so that the new color would go beyond the soil level. Highly recommend! read more

Super high quality job with lots of attention to detail. Great price. Finished on time. Really happy with advice on color given and other issues with my house. So glad to have this job done at last and very pleasing to see excellent results. Al is easy to do business with, offers great advice and his team are very pleasant and hard working. Thank you Accolade, you have my applause, good job! read more

This is my second time using Accolade Painting. They are the most professional, clean, responsive painting contractors I have ever known or used. The first time they did my interior cabinets and walls and they still look amazing. This time they did my exterior and we couldn't have been happier. We know there are lots of choices for painters out there, but we will continue to give our business and recommend all of our friends and people who own real estate to use Accolade Painting. Thank you Al and Tom! Kathy Arsenault read more

Accolade just painted the exterior of my house. I got so many compliments from neighbors even during the prep work! The Owner, Tom, is a very professional person. His attention to detail is exceptional. The Prep work alone was so meticulous and thorough. The crew is excellent. Highly recommended! And so reasonably priced for the Quality of Work. read more

They just finished exterior painting our home in Pinehurst. Al was very helpful and easy to work with. Gave us lots of ideas and suggestions, but left the final decision to us. He always answered our phone calls and text messages within a very reasonable time. Kept his promises for scheduling the work and his crew always arrived earlier than expected. The workmanship of the crew and the pride they took to make sure everything was done professionally was very much appreciated. As I am a stickler to make sure things are done right with the highest quality for what I paid for. They met all these and more. Al made it a point to come out most everyday to insure that the work was done to our satisfaction and that nothing was missed. Often, once a contract is signed, one only sees the owner at the end of the job to collect the money. Not true for Al. They 3 man crew spent the last day going over every inch of the exterior and touching up any missed areas. They must have walked around the house 6 times or more, finding spots here and there and then retouching these to make sure we were happy. We were. His work was so good, and reasonable priced, that my neighbor had him do her house right after they finished mine. I would recommend Accolade to anyone, without reservation. And if I had another home that needed painting, I wouldn't even get a second opinion. Thanks Al read more

We had just completed new hardscape and wanted to paint the house to better match (and it was in need). We were referred by a family friend to Accolade Painting and from the start our experience was nothing less than excellent. From the initial quotation process with Al (color selection, washing, prep) to final walk around, everyone was professional, courteous, and performed to really high standards. They also performed some repair work at various spots and explained options for that repair work to ensure the final job would look nice, protect the house, at minimal cost. The attention to detail ensuring our home looks its absolute best was greatly appreciated (painting the flashing and vent pipes). The company's commitment goes beyond words. Events that should have rightfully delayed the start of our project were met with professionalism, as Tom and his foreman stepped in avoiding disruption to the schedule. Teamwork and loyalty, thanks Al and Tom and the rest of the Accolade crew! I will absolutely use them again without a doubt. read more

I recently used Al and his crew to do a lot of work in my new house. They removed acoustic ceilings, re-textured, patched drywall, and painted the entire interior of my home. His crew is great and really friendly. They arrived on time, and the work was all done for a very good price. They cleaned up every day, and made sure everything was done to my liking. I will recommend them to everyone I know, and use them again when I need to paint my exterior in a few years. read more

Spent alot of money for mediocre service. Bunch of kids with no real adult supervision. Walls and ceilings look ok after they came back to fix once or twice. Paint runs all over the trim and doors. Asked them to fix and they came back to placate us, but didn't really do anything to correct. I basically have a paint job that looks like a homeowner in a hurry did it. I guess i expected more from "professionals." read more

We just had our house painted after 20 years of owning it. Al and his crew had a lot (a LOT) of work to do to get it prepped and primed before they could paint it. The house is absolutely gorgeous. Everytime I drive up the street I have to stop and stare at it for a minute before I can pull into the driveway.Their team was thorough, professional and friendly. They cleaned up everything, made any minor touchups, and suddenly we have a new house. Thanks so much! read more

Superb job!! I used Accolade to paint the interior and exterior of my house 14 years ago. Today they painted 3 of my bedrooms. Professional, friendly, experienced, responsive, reasonably priced! Thank you Al and crew! read more

Accolade just finished painting the outside of our house. They were incredible. Super fast, efficient, professional, and clean. The crew really cared about their work. We were so pleased that I joined Yelp just to recommend them! Plus, they were one of the most reasonable bids we received. read more

Great job, any concerns I had were quickly addressed and corrected. Happy with price, outcome, speed, quality. Will use again, Dave R.
