After 25 years, it was finally time to repaint the exterior of my home. After selecting a new color…read morescheme and receiving HOA approval, I posted on social media looking for recommendations. I immediately received responses from more than 20 individuals and companies, but one stood out right away -- EM Painting Services.
Owner Emilio Martinez responded promptly with his business card and contractor's license number. I contacted him for an estimate, and he was able to stop by the very same day. He thoroughly inspected the property, including the stucco and fascia boards, and took the time to explain every step of the process and the expected timeframe, while patiently answering all of my questions.
The following day, I received a professionally prepared estimate that I felt was very fair, especially considering it included premium paint products and HOA-specified colors. Anyone who has priced paint lately knows that quality exterior paint can easily exceed $80 per gallon.
Once I approved the estimate and sent the deposit, Emilio scheduled the project for the following week. The process began with power washing the home and surrounding decorative walls. From there, his crew carefully prepped the property by taping off windows, patios, sidewalks, and the driveway. They also removed old, unused cables, nails, and hardware left behind from previous satellite, cable, and phone installations.
One challenge was the overgrown landscaping around parts of the property. Emilio suggested bringing in Clemente, who owns a professional landscaping business, to assess the situation. Clemente arrived that same day and provided an excellent estimate considering the amount of trimming and hauling involved. His crew completed the work the next morning, and within just a couple of hours, the property already looked dramatically improved.
The painting itself was completed in stages with great attention to detail -- stucco first, then trim and fascia, followed by the garage door, front door, and iron gate.
From estimate to final completion, the entire project took less than two weeks.
What impressed me most about Emilio was his old-school work ethic and attention to detail. He and his crew didn't cut corners or overlook anything. In fact, on the rare occasion that I noticed something I thought might have been missed, it was usually corrected before I even had a chance to mention it.
The entire experience was professional, stress-free, and the finished result exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend EM Painting Services to anyone looking for quality workmanship, professionalism, and honest service.
Thank you, Emilio and your crew, for a fantastic job!
