    Another before-- More grungy lichen on the drive way.

    First, I will say that being from the Los Angeles area, I was thrilled that when I requested estimates for painting my dad's home in Arroyo Grande, that I received three of four requests in a timely way. Thanks Central Coast!! But I hired Brilliant Painting not just because Jimmy met me in person and explained options, but he was respectful of my 94 year old dad's participation in the process. And while I thought I had a pretty specific list of tasks so I could compare apples to apples, he brought ideas to the table that allowed me to simplify and work just with his company, and delivered a prompt and fair estimate. Beyond the painting, he was willing to add on roof power washing, which seriously made all of the difference in the world in the final appearance of the home. Additionally, he also had the skills to add on guards for the rain gutters, and power washed a LOT of concrete (driveway and patio) for an hourly rate to finish the project. This pricing allowed my dad an affordable approach and the flexibility to agree to the extras. The quality of the work went beyond my expectations. The house went from looking like a state park ranger station from the 1990s, to an updated beachy home in the woods. We will work on the landscaping next, but my dad and I are thrilled with the overall improved look. Thanks to Jim and his excellent communication, and to his crew for a job well done!!

    After researching painters on Yelp and through word of mouth, we discovered Brilliant Painting. Impressed by the 100% positive rating, we called the owner, Jim Hunt, who promptly called back and came by to bid on the job immediately. He provided a highly detailed estimate and suggested ways to improve the outcome such as filling in gaps in the fascia and choosing certain brand paints to insure longevity. Bids from 6 other painters failed to deliver the same detail and most estimates simply stated the house would be painted at a much higher price, and one even elected to forego the job. We hired Brilliant and were pleased. The estimate was fair, the work was delivered as promised, promptly and neatly. The color was a perfect match, the team was professional and polite, and the outcome was perfect and better than expected. We will hire Jim again for the interior of the house when the time comes. We recommend you do the same. You will not be disappointed.

    Redwood door rejuvenated by Jim Hunt of Brilliant Painting.

    After 30 years of being baked in the hot afternoon sun, the front-door to my house was weather-beaten, with paint peeling in the corners and on the edges of the panels. It is not a fancy door, but wood doors like that are no longer easily available on the market. The easier way out for me would be to replace it with a fiberglass door, which I found unappealing. And, it seems unconscionable to dispose a wood door that is still in good shape. Furthermore, I learned that installing a new door is not necessarily straightforward and can potentially result in problems such as leakage. Instead, I tried looking for a painter to repaint the wood door. That turned out to be easier said than done. It seems professional painters are not particularly interested in a small job that requires detailed work and repeated visits. Jim Hunt, owner of Brilliant Painting, answered my call and was sympathetic to my desire to preserve a wood door. I was especially impressed with his attention to details. He did not seem to mind taking time to sand, prime and apply two coats of paint. He even completely replaced the rotten weatherstripping, installing it properly for a change. It took many weeks for Jim to work around his busy schedule to accommodate this small job. The outcome is impressive. On the outside, the door now looks brand new. On the inside, the door is no longer hot to the touch in the afternoon. The door hardware now works better than ever. And, Jim informed me that the door is actually made of redwood, making its restoration all the more compelling. I am happy to have saved a valuable wood door, and I can't thank Jim enough for his help and his workmanship. Thumbs up, Jim.

    INCREDIBLE!!! By far the best price, most honest and quality work ! Our house came out better then expected and completely hassle free they were in and out and almost un-noticeable. The owner is a local guy who we felt very comfortable working with . He went above and beyond to make our paint job a good experience, and really took the time to go over the quote. Only painter we had come that included stucco and patch repair and a few other extra things included in the price. We will be hiring them to do our interior painting. Excellent clean up job and friendly employees!!! Save yourself the hassle of all the quotes these guys are the most honest priced and best work ! Win win !!!

    They did a great job on the exterior of our house! Check out that before and after! Jim is very friendly and his prices were the best around.

    Just starting the job!

    Browder Painting Company

    We Recommend Browder…read more.... The exterior of our garage door was in bad shape after less than 8 years since the original brown paint was turning red and running down to the ground. Plus we needed to redo baseboards in the house due to lots of wear and tear. Since we've seen trucks from Browder throughout our development and reviews were very good, we got in touch. Stars: - Overall: 5 - The Start: 5 - Explanations: 5 - Scheduling: 5 - Process: 5 - Workmanship: 5 - Communication: 5 - Cleanliness: 5 - Cost: 4 - The Start: I called on a Monday and scheduled an appointment with Nick Nystrom, one of their Project Managers, for that Thursday. - Explanations: Nick assessed the situation, both inside and out, and made arrangements to send us large samples of paint (and stucco for a small amount of damage) colors by overnight mail. Nick was a very easy guy to deal with. - Scheduling: Simple. Browder is usually very busy with multiple crews (currently they've got 30-35 painters), but they had an opening the following Tuesday and Wednesday so we grabbed it. The scheduler noted "your lead painter will be Juan Camarillo. He's one of our best". - Process: Nick the Project Manager arrived at 730 AM on Tuesday with the team of Juan and Reynaldo. With booties over their shoes, they moved furniture and covered the flooring...tile with carpeting in the bedrooms...with plastic sheeting. The garage door and most of the baseboards were done the first day, Tuesday. The rest was finished Wednesday morning followed by moving things back into place and a thorough cleanup. - Workmanship: Very good. Many people stopped to admire and ask about the garage door since the problem seems to be an epidemic in our neighborhood (picture #1). The baseboards look brand new...although some sections were "overpainted" and had "granules" hanging down (picture #2). I called Nick who asked Juan to investigate. Juan trimmed them in 15 minutes. I must say Juan Camarillo (there are a few Juans at Browder) is a master with 11 years at Browder who took the same care in our house as he would in his own. His assistant, Reynaldo, was an exterior painter for 8 years and fairly new to the interior. There was a difference in skill and care. - Communication: Excellent. Nick and Juan stayed in touch to keep us up-to-date and patiently answered questions. - Cleanliness: Really good. Even during the painting process indoors, they did a fine job. - Cost: Reasonable. A bit more than $3,900. All in all it was a very good experience. Our next job will be the walls and we'll definitely ask for Juan C. if we go with Browder again. NOTE: When Juan and Reynaldo moved a dresser in the primary bedroom, one of the legs was bent. I couldn't fix it myself so I spoke to Nick who sent Joe, 1 of 2 Field Supervisors, to investigate. Between the 2 of us, we got it back in workable shape.

    I hired Browder painting to wash all the mildew off our two story stucco house and repaint it…read more(three colors). Wow, they did a great job. We have lots of wood trim and they were exacting, it looks fantastic. They also came out after the painting was done for a free window washing. The workers were nice and offered me advice on paint colors (including painting samples) and gave me names of good contractors for other work that I need done. Really excellent service. Will use them again.
