Before - Area in front of the dishwasher
Channone A.

Needed a small section of tile removed so that we could install a new dishwasher. Fast work and able to help me next day for a fair price. Will not hesitate to call again for future tile work.

Fantastic work! Punctual and professional. I made a total mess of my drywall trying to do this myself, Alex came in, and did an amazing job installing my mantel and fixing the drywall. I highly recommend him.

Before

Alex quoted me right away over the phone, and his availability was very accommodating. Good communication and very professional.

Water was seeping through shower frame and damaged wall. Now it's solid and clean!

Alex came the day of I requested service. He was first to respond. Great communication. Arrived with everything he needed to complete the job. He went to Home Depot to match my existing paint. My bathroom wall has been repaired, shower sealed up and looks fantastic. I will hire him again.

Charmaine A.

I was so pleased with the service i got from Alex. He did the tv mounting and ring doorbell installation. It was quick and and done efficiently.

Yelp Review I have to say I find myself lucky to have come across Alex. I was having a hard time finding someone to install my already bought exterior doors, as no companies offered me to help me. Then, I noticed Alex, who reached out to me to help, I considered him since he was very fast in following up with my requests and accommodating. I had to take a moment to write a review because I am very impressed by his work. I didn't know installing only one exterior door can take 4 hours especially when you come across a problem. One of the new exterior doors was too tall to fit and the threshold on the other entry step needed to be replaced but he said not to worry and if I allowed him, he will make it work and take care of it. He sure did, he carried all tools needed and made a trip to Home Depot to get unexpected materials needed. He not only went beyond my expectations but is a very kind man. I truly appreciated his work and patience with the troubles he came across. I am so happy I finally got my doors exchanged.

See all

I had a small job to texture and paint a portion of my wall that had undergone repair work. My…read morebiggest concern was matching the orange peel texture pattern to the existing adjacent walls in the room. I called several places from Yelp and also several local well known companies. Kariem responded within 24 hours and offered me a good quote and could start the job immediately. Others had quotes all over the place for "painter for a day" and excessive prep and materials. This was a relatively easy job and Kariem and Debbie were friendly and did good work for a fair price. They made the wall look great and the texture matching worked along with a coat of primer. They were a no pressure team and finished the job as quoted for cost and time. Easy to work with and good work.

Believe all the glowing reviews, we just finished a big project with Kariem and Debra of Tenacious…read moreTouchups, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We did a full interior repaint for our single-family rental that just became vacant, and from start to finish the experience was great. On the initial walk-through, Kariem listened to our needs and worked up a couple different quotes based on different ideas we had, and we ended up getting the works (ceiling, walls, trim, closets, and even some exterior patch and paint) and we are so glad we did because the value was unparalleled! The place has a new life breathed into it and looks fantastic. We will definitely be contacting them again for all our painting needs!

Best Painters Ever…read more Multiple companies have painted my house over the years. Small companies, big companies, less expensive painters and very expensive painters, but the most impressive and professional painters I have ever encountered are Jaime Gutierrez and his crew from Just Right Painting. They are fast, they do absolutely perfect beautiful work for a reasonable fee, and they leave the work area spotless when they finish.  They also do LACQUER finish for kitchen cabinets IN SITU; and they were the only company I interviewed who would. I was nervous about it, but when they finished, the work was stunning. I recommend them without reservation.  To schedule work and ask about fees, call:  Pablo Flores - Coordinator and Scheduler @ Just Right Painting - office (213) 469-8890 And request Jaime Gutierrez - Head painter @ Just Right Painting for your job. He's amazing.  Mobile (323) 500-8575.

The whole process was smooth, and Omar's team was easy to work with, responsive, and clearly knew what they were doing. Good pricing level! What I appreciated most Omar and his teammate were how careful and thorough they were with the work. They paid attention to the details, worked efficiently, and still delivered a high-quality result. It's not always easy to find a company that is both fast and meticulous, but they really were. Highly recommended!

After 3 estimates, we decided to go with Exterior Specialists because the owner (Chris) has been…read morepainting houses for 30 years. While the others seemed like salesmen, Chris was straightforward, but his expertise shined through! He wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive...just right - like Goldilocks. The painters are all long term employees curated over 30 years and it shows! The crew was 3-5 people and they were very well organized, friendly, and most of all, hard working! The crew lead, Javier, was like a master overseeing his apprentices while working harder than everyone. Chris came on site several times over the week to check on things as well. I was amazed by all the prep work the crew did and well they cleaned up at the end of each day! Chris says the prep work is the most important part painting and it pays to do it right. His experience is vast and helped us select our colors from our finalists along with advising on some other non-painting related work we needed done such as sandblasting, roofing, and gutters. We really felt like we were is good, capable and honest hands! I write very few online reviews...only for truly exceptional service which certainly applies to Exterior Specialists! I highly recommend them for exterior painting.

Recently, we had to repaint and repair the exterior of our house. After being rejected by other…read morepainters who said our house was too tall (it's 2 stories tall) and old we, searched through Yelp. Seeing the high ratings, we decided to hired Chris and his team from Exterior Specialists and are extremely pleased with the results. TL;DR: - Chris and his team are both efficient/ultra fast and skilled at their jobs (finished in a week, half the estimated time, and produced very high quality work) - Great work ethic from his team: on time, flexible, and clean (everything was organized and put away at the end of each day), despite scorching hot weather - Able to repair eaves (whether it be refurbishing or replacing) to be brand new - Chooses highest quality paint and won't get any paint on surfaces you don't want it on (the ground, lights, other decor) - Chris has great taste when it comes to choosing a color scheme for your home More Details: Firstly, Chris has great artistic taste in terms of what colors to choose to best fit your home. Our vision for the project was to refurbish our home to become more modern, which meant choosing a different exterior paint color. Unable to decide which colors to choose, we asked Chris what colors he would recommend. Not only was he able to immediately recommend different colors, but the color scheme he chose for us fitted our home perfectly and was exactly what we had in mind. Chris and his team's work is of the highest quality. Many of our home's eaves had been damaged by termites and needed replacing; many of the wooden boards were not only very high up and hard to reach, but also very large. Yet, he said it was no problems and his carpenters were able to make our eaves look brand new. They even went beyond replacing the badly damaged boards and helped sand and fill in the rest of our eaves! The paint was also of the same level of quality. Chris will help you choose the most premium paint that both looks nice and is more grime resistant than other paints. His painting team is highly skilled: there are no paint bubbles or flakes, no messy streaks or flecks to be seen, and they'll make sure any lights or decorations on the exterior walls are removed or completely covered. The greatest merit of Chris and his team, however, is their work ethic. We were in the middle of a heat dome when they started work, meaning temperatures were in the high 90s to 100s all day. Despite the unpleasant weather, Chris's team would arrive on time every day and work with no complaints. The workspace was always kept clean and organized at the end of each day; upon finishing, they made sure the surrounding area was extra clean. The most surprising thing is, the team was able to finish the project in a week, a whole week faster than the original 2 week estimate! It is amazing how quickly yet masterfully they were able to complete the work in these summer conditions, and we thank them for all their hard work (not to mention that they were able to start work a day or two after Chris's appraisal). His team is also very flexible. We initially weren't planning on repainting our garage since it was newer, but after seeing how it looked with the new colors, we decided we wanted to repaint it as well. Even though they were wrapping up when we asked them, they were able to immediately purchase the needed paint and still finish on the same day! We cannot more highly recommend Exterior Specialists to work on your house: you won't be disappointed!
