We had a great experience working with Barton. Our guest bedroom turned office was in desperate need of a paint job. The previous owners left seemingly endless pinholes in the walls, and an electrician's patch job after putting in an outlet left a lot to be desired. We also needed a strip of popcorn ceiling removed and the walls texturized where the closet doors had previously been installed. After quickly receiving a reasonable quote, we scheduled to have Caleb come out to give our room new life. His attention to detail was VERY apparent, and you can tell he takes great pride in his work. It was truly a transformation. In fact, we were so pleased, we requested he come out the next weekend to paint our bathroom. On both occasions, he was on time and cleaned up after his jobs. It was like he was never even there. For our next paint job, you can bet Barton Painting will be our first call. We highly recommend them and their great service. read more

We have a 1960 Midcentury house with a lot of extra wood trim details on the exterior. I have hired Caleb a few different times to sand and re-paint parts of the exterior. This was white semi-gloss on the wood trim and roof fascia, and flat grey on the stucco. His attention to detail is perfect what we needed to take special care of our house. We had a few detailed discussions along the way to figure out the best way to complete the job. The house is on a hill with narrow cement stairs on one side which was no problem for him and the crew - safe use of ladders to get to all the different spots. House looks almost brand new! Thanks Caleb read more

I dont leave many Yelp reviews but I think its important to give attention to companies that perform a skilled trade and are good at it. Caleb owns Barton Painting and is the one who quotes the job but more importantly does the job too. This is important to me because so often you get an owner that quotes a job based on his past work and then another crew shows up to do the work and the quality often falls short. Caleb is very detailed and pays really close attention to prepping all of the surfaces he is going to paint to make sure the paint sticks and any damage isnt just painted over. He painted the entire exterior of the house including window trim, fascia board, front door, and garage door. We are very happy with his detailed work, the house looks brand new. He did bring an assistant a few days and his work was held to the same standard. read more

Our closets were in dire need of some major patchwork and coats of paint. Caleb was definitely the right person to call! His schedule was very flexible, pricing is reasonable, and did a very thorough job. He is friendly and very easygoing, which is refreshing! Definitely recommend and plan to call him for future projects! read more

We could not be any happier! Caleb was super professional and thorough and did an amazing job. We needed to have the entire exterior of our house meticulously prepped before being painted which was no simple feat considering how much scraping and sanding was needed. Caleb certainly went the extra mile to make our home look beautiful. He was incredibly detailed oriented, patient, and understanding with our indecisiveness, and always responsive. The house looks fabulous! Thanks, Caleb! A+++ Do not hesitate to hire him! read more

Caleb is absolutely your guy! He has (so far!) painted our pantry, main bedroom closet, guest closet, and 3 car garage! His prices are very reasonable, always prepared, and professional. We won't work with anyone else! read more

Caleb did an excellent job. He is careful and accurate. Place looks beautiful. Excellent value. Very good communication skills.

WOW!! Barton Painting. Caleb and Caleb made our historic home look like new again. It was lots of work for 2 people but they did a fantastic job. They are very detailed and truly care about their work product. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Caleb and Caleb did an amazing job on repainting our house and staircase. Caleb (the owner) took the time for a thorough consult in each room discussing necessities and getting an idea of what we were imaging for our space. His pricing was very fair and his timeline was very fast considering the amount of detail that went into our space (specifically our staircase). Caleb communicated very easily and quickly with all details, I always knew what was going on and what to expect each day which was extremely appreciated. Both the Calebs were very detailed with the work and had to repaint our staircase and banister from a very dark oil based brown to a very light ivory white. The amount of work that went in to it was a lot and the end result was amazing. I wish I had before and after pictures because they'd tell a great story! I highly recommend Caleb and his team. They communicate well, work efficiently, priced fairly and best of all do an amazing job! We love our new place and are thankful it feels even more like our style! read more

Caleb did an amazing job painting our 1937 home. When we moved in there was quite a bit of damage to the plaster, which was repaired and painted beautifully. In addition, I chose a rather difficult color for the kitchen cabinets and he made them look amazing. The attention to detail on every aspect of the job was really impressive. Can't recommend Barton Painting enough! read more

Caleb gave us one of the lower quotes for staining/sealing the siding shingles on our 1912 Craftsman house and repairing a bunch of dry rot in the roof supports. The quote he emailed was detailed and gave us a lot of information about different methods to complete the task and let us decide. We deferred to his opinion, since he's the pro and it turned out beautifully. They removed all the water staining from the rain, stained the shingles with a water based sealant and even touched up the trim paint where the original painters missed spots. The dry rot has been scraped, filled and repainted to match. I will hire Caleb again, no doubt. No drama, quiet in, quiet out. read more

I met with three different painting companies to get estimates. I'm about to put my condo on the market and wanted it to be touched up and fresh. My goal was to try and do the best job possible for the best price (that's everyone's goal, right?) But of the three companies I met with, Caleb seemed to be the only one to "get" it. One was trying to do the cheapest possible job and showed me all the ways they could cut corners or "hide" problem areas to save me money. (not what I was looking to do) Another was only willing to do a full repaint of the entire unit. During the estimate, Caleb walked me through his ideas for improving the look, while trying to be as efficient as possible. He did a fantastic job and the place looks brand new! While he wasn't the cheapest, I do think I got the best deal in terms of high quality work for a very fair price. I had to be pretty rigid on the timing of the paint job because of all the other balls in the air getting it ready for an open house. Caleb was extremely flexible and worked with me to get it done in the necessary amount of time. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others. read more

Caleb of Barton Painting transformed the exterior of our home. Our heavily tan-colored stuccoed home (gutters included) badly needed a new look as well as some patching and touch ups. Caleb was very responsive when I reached out and for the estimate we walked around the property and discussed what was possible and realistic for our exterior. He gave us an extremely fair quote that rivaled other quotes we received and he always made himself available to answer questions. Caleb took great care with the prep work to powerwash everything, removed outdated window coverings, removed stucco on our gutters, and patched wood paneling that was damaged. He picked up sample colors and never rushed us to make a decision. We ultimately went with Sherwin Williams Alabaster for the full exterior (walls and trim) with a Sherwin Williams Languid Blue for the door. Overall, we are so happy with the final product, how quickly it was done, and the quality of work. Would definitely recommend Caleb and team to others. read more

Caleb was extremely efficient and trustworthy and the final product was very high quality. I was able to schedule an estimate and start painting within a week. He got the exact paint i wanted to use with no issues. They also worked long days while i was out of town to make sure the job would get done as quickly as possible. I would work with Caleb again. read more

Caleb did a great job, and was very reasonably priced.

Caleb and his crew were professional, on-time and took great care painting inside and outside our home. Excellent attention to detail & conscientious. read more

Barton Painting - This photo is of the stellar job they did re-staining our front door/windows. - Painters Near Me - Escondido, California

Caleb and his crew did an amazing job especially when we had a deadline we needed to meet to get the job done. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else who needs to get their place painted. read more

I highly recommend Caleb Barton. He painted out 1912 craftsman that had several rotted rafter tails. Somehow, Caleb was able to make them look brand new. I was amazed. He takes his time with prepping, which is so important for a paint job. Also, he is very considerate of cleaning up after each day. Lastly, Caleb is a good guy and you will be please to meet and have him work on your house. I highly recommend this painter. read more

Barton Painting finished up a job at my house about a week ago. Price was very reasonable and they worked around my schedule. The job included both interior and exterior paint, including a metal fence that was a little tricky. I am very pleased with how everything came out. I highly recommend Barton Painting and would not hesitate to use them again. Very clean work! read more

My husband found Barton Painting through Yelp and I'm so glad he did! Caleb is very thoughtful and detailed in his work. He did a fantastic job on the inside and outside of our Mount Washington house getting it ready to be put on the market. We got many offers and I know his painting job was a factor in us getting over the asking price. I work in real estate and have also recommended him to clients who have had great results. He recently did a fantastic job for clients in Glassell Park getting their house ready for market. My clients were very pleased. Many times in the past when I have gotten quotes from other painters, the person who gives you the estimate is not the person who does any of the painting and you never see him again, until maybe when they need to be paid in full at the end. But with Barton Painting, you deal with Caleb at every stage and he is always at the property doing the painting, sometimes alone and sometimes with a helper. Barton Painting is the best! read more

Unbelievable! If I could give negative stars I would! Caleb Barton (I assume the owner) and I spoke on Friday to schedule a meet at my house the next day on Saturday at 9:30am in the morning. I texted him right after we spoke to give him my address. I always do this as a follow up and assurance that info has been communicated and documented. Today is Saturday. I was waiting for Caleb to show up as scheduled and promised. 9:30 rolls by and then 10:10am... I call up Caleb and mention to him that we were suppose to meet over 30min ago... Caleb sounded like he just woke up... he didn't even apologize or try to sound like he even felt bad for completing missing our appointment. He said something like he just spaced out. No explanation. No real apology. Fine. I try to give him another opportunity and ask him if he lives nearby thinking maybe we could meet up half way or something since I'm mostly showing him pictures of what needs paint work. I offered to send him a link to the pictures and told him to have a look and call me in an hour to go over it. No call. Nothing. That's twice in one day this guy Caleb totally dismisses a potential client who was ready to hire and schedule within a week. I cannot believe the unprofessionalism and poor work ethics with these young companies these days. How and when Barton Painting received those 4-5star reviews is beyond my comprehension especially since the owner of this company was not professional or disciplined enough to show up for an appointment and even worse, he did not even bother to have the right attitude over dropping he ball nor follow up or follow thru with any positive action to remedy his no-show. And all on the same day!! This is unacceptable, unprofessional and what a waste of time, effort & energy! read more

Caleb painted the house across the street from ours and we were amazed by his artistic ability. Then, he painted a house down the street and we were impressed one more time, so we hired Caleb to paint our slatted cedar moving fence. Not only did he spec (and explain) the job he actually did the painting with his helper. He sanded the fence, took the pieces down, painted them and re-installed them perfectly. No small job. His price was fair, even low for the time and work he did. We've met too many supposed painters with fancy trucks who are just salespeople who haven't lifted a brush in decades. Not Caleb. He actually paints and the job he did for us was terrific. We have already recommended him. Would use him again in an instant! Trish and John read more

You are not going to find a painter who will do a more detailed job. Barton Painting definitely brought our old Craftsman back to life. They put in the work, and really care about doing it right. Highly recommended. read more

We hired Caleb to paint our house and porch and we are so happy with the results! We've had neighbors and random people complement us on how nice the house looks and ask us for our house painter's info. I really appreciated Caleb's attention to detail and thoroughness. He is also very courteous and professional. I really can't recommend Barton Painting enough. read more

I highly recommend Caleb Barton. He did great work on both exteriors and interiors of my place. It was a big job (two craftsman homes in Highland Park) and he did everything right for a reasonable price. I used to be a house painter, so I'm picky and was looking for someone to really do it correctly. He did. From prep work to finishing touches, the work was solid. He was responsive to my concerns, polite and easy to communicate with. If you prefer working with a small business as opposed to a large company, Barton Painting is great. Good person, good painter. read more

We could not have been more pleased with how our house turned out! We would make the same decision all over again if we had to. My husband and I bought our first house and it really needed some help. When Caleb came out to quote the job he said, "I don't just want to paint this little house, I want to bring it back to life." I knew we had found the man for the job. When I saw the finished project I fell in love with our house all over. We could be more grateful to Caleb for his hard work, professionalism, and just all around awesomeness! We highly recommend Barton Painting. read more

It was a pleasure working with Caleb. He is professional and did a great job at my Brentwood house. He had all the tools and I didn't had to do anything but relax until he was done. I would definitely refer him to others. read more
