Saying Omar the Handyman is good at his job is like saying Taylor Swift and Steph Curry are good at…read moretheirs. We had him tackle a significant makeover and paint job on our 122 year old cottage. Omar's bid was a good 20% higher than #2. We chose him because of how clearly he talked the details, from paint chemistry for a salt air climate to the right way to replace those old cedar shingles. He also had a new kitchen window created from scratch to match the ones in the rest of the old house. Over the 3 - 4 week project, Omar and his crew invariably left the place immaculate, no clutter, no mess. The answer to nearly ever request was "Yes, we can do that." While they are not cheap, the tab for all of the extras we asked for was fair. And we have no doubt that the work will hold up very well. When you think about how valuable your home is, why would you not hire the best in the business to fix whatever is wrong with it? The property will appreciate, and pay you back 10X over.

The estimate was the most comprehensive that I received, which did build trust even though it was on the high side. In retrospect, the labor rate was too high for the quality of work performed. "Omar the Handyman" didn't do any of the work, he farmed it out. For projects allowing more planning, I don't think that I would work with them again. Doctor-level labor rates for amateur-level workmanship? Nah.

I needed to have the majority of the interior of the house painted and reached out to a few folks on Yelp and by word of mouth. Ron's quote came in the lowest and in the ballpark I was expecting whereas other quotes were between 1.5-3x that amount. I could only hope for the best and I got it. Luis and the other guys were true gentlemen answering all of my questions and they went the extra mile throughout the job even doing extra painting not in the bid and helping with some other things. I'm a pretty critical person and don't normally spend time writing reviews unless something was horrible or exceptional and this experience was exceptional. Thank you RC Painting! I'll be recommending you to others. Oh, and Ron is a very humble and accommodating person to boot!

We recently purchased a home that we plan to do extensive renovations on next year. In the…read moremeantime, we needed to make the house livable. The only problem was the home had previously been a rental and it was put on the market in the middle of being "refreshed for renters. So, no door hardware, no lights, no flooring, and no paint! We had a one week window between fumigation and move-in that we needed to squeeze new paint and flooring into. RC Painting was responsive to our messages, discussed the project and immediately understood our goals, and proposed a fair price for work that wasn't trying to oversell us. They committed to get the work done in time for our flooring sub to show up and followed through on their commitment. The work turned out exactly the way we discussed too. Overall we were very happy with our experience with RC Painting and would definitely use them again.

I highly recommend Gibson & Son Painting. Nick Gibson, built the business with his father. And…read morewith his father's passing, is now acting head of the company, and a true professional. Nick arrived to provide an estimate for a repaint of a number of interior walls and trim, and to address a peeling paint problem on a bathroom ceiling painted by a different company, a few years ago. It wasn't resisting the high moisture environment created by the shower with marginal venting. Initially, what sold me on Nick, and Gibson & Son Painting, was Nick's manners and respect for my home. Before setting foot inside the front door, he removed his shoes. I hadn't said a word about it, and the floors that can be seen from where he stood are rustic slate (not carpeting). I had a couple of other painting contractors provide estimates previously. But none had demonstrated anything close to that kind of courtesy. A small thing, perhaps. But as it turned out, just a sample of good things to come, and of how he and his crew operate. Speaking of which, all members are exceptional in their own right. Also, Nick's attention to the details of the job, as we went over the scope of work, and his extensive knowledge of how to address potential problems, impressed me. He closely examined surfaces and their existing paint to determine the appropriate approach to achieve the best results. Again, something that separated him from the other painting contractors bidding on the job. Nick's estimate was provided to me promptly, and was described in great detail. Of the three bids I received, his was not the least expensive. However, the confidence that Nick instilled in me through his diligence in defining the job, as well as his respectful, personable manner, made the choice easy. The work was done with a great attitude. Great team. Nice people! The communication to coordinate the work and the general process was excellent. The job is finished, now, and I'm a very satisfied customer. Nick will be the first person I call next time.
