Alfonso and his team did a wonderful job in painting the interior of our house from Oct 16, 2023 to Oct 30, 2023. The painting took 11 working days with average 10 hours + per day between 2 to 4 painters a day. Our house is about 3800 sq ft. We have his team painted the interior majority of our house interior (about 3300 out of our 3800 sq ft house). The painting included the ceiling, wall, closet, doors, and baseboard, kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets, . Since we are planning to sell our house in the next couple years, our realtor picked the interior color for us. She wants off white wall color and white cabinets (two very popular choices for the buyers but very difficult to make the house look nice with two very close white colors). I had my heart attack after seeing the first hint of what it may look like after the fifth or six days into the painting and Alfonso come to my rescue. There are quite a few things that Alfonso and his team impressed me.
1) Alfonso towed their own trailer and a portable toilet to our house. The trailer has a microwave and a place for his team to rest during lunch break. I thought it is a very nice touch that Alfonso did that. We don't have to clean the toilet afterward and we can unmoved the microwave around during the painting.
2) Alfonso agree to painted the house in sections. It helped us tremendously. I have plenty of friends who told us that we need to move to a hotel during the painting. I have several painting companies told me the same thing while they are giving me their quotes. They insisted that they need to do the prep work at the same time (a whole bunch of BS after seeing how house painting operation first hand). There are plenty of work to keep Alfonso's team busy for 5-6 days painting downstair. We limited ourself in the upstair bedroom and move the microwave upstair while Alfonso's team work on downstair and then move downstair after they complete the painting there. It worked really well and we don't need a hotel stay. The only reason that other painting company insist that they need to prep the house is for their working convenience. They can accommodate the home owner if they choose to, Alfonso make it happen for us and I appreciate that.
3) Alfonso is very flexible and easy to work with. He handle last minute request with 5 stars. Our color of choices for this painting is Benjamin Moore 25% darker Swiss coffee for the wall and Chantilly Lace for the baseboard, trims and cabinets base on our realtor's input. After they painted the living room, I have a heart attack seeing how the color work together. We have a fireplace in the living room and it essentially bland in to the wall and at a distance I can't distinguish the fire place from the wall. This is about fifth or sixth days into the painting and I changed the fire place and some cabinets to Espresso Bean (very rich, dark chocolate color) after talking to Alfonso. He has no problem changing it and I think our house looks so much better. After seeing the result, I wonder why my realtor wants white, white cabinets. Dark chocolate color cabinet looks spectacular with brush nickel knobs.
4) Alfonso and his team did a very good job touching up all the paint after it was done. There is no hesitation to correct any problem.
Alfonso price is also very competitive. I lived in San Ramon and had a mixture of 7-8 quotes painting only cabinets, painting only interior and painting both. Alfonso price is toward the low end for both cabinets and interior. Alfonso's name come to us from an interior designer that we met in a flooring companies (yes, we replaced our flooring from Factory Direct Flooring an San Leandro and I have a review for their work as well). I would highly recommend Alfonso's team for your next painting job. We wait for him for 2 1/2 months and his wait time now is about 3 months but he is worth the wait, both of the quality of his work and the price. read more
