We were pleased with Cartwright Painters who made the exterior of our house beautiful once again. Cartwright was fast, reliable, responsive, and professional. Our project manager, Aaron Milne, quickly responded to our questions and concerns. His quote was complete in that he included details about all the repairs we requested of him: repair cracks in the stucco, stain and seal our front door, and paint our back deck. He explained to us the types of paints that were available from Sherwin-Williams, Cartwright's supplier. He priced the project competitively and when I called him to discuss his competitors' prices he made some adjustments. We obtained estimates from two other licensed, and three unlicensed, painting contractors. We spoke by phone with multiple references for two of Cartwright's competitors. Cartwright's references were as good as or better than the other companys' references. In addition, whereas Cartwright gave us a complete and final quote, their competitors' quotes all varied in price and completeness. For example, some competitors required us to buy the paint before the project was to begin whereas others would buy it if they were reimbursed before work commenced. In other cases, all other competitors incomplete quotes by not responding to our specific requests. Cartwright's quote was complete and businesslike. They have a net 30-day contract with their paint suppliers which means that they only asked us for a 10% down payment before they started work. The balance was due upon satisfactory completion of the project. We were pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of our painting crew, Aurelio and Ramiro. We are grateful to them for having taken time to show us three different paint schemes on our house. They painted three swathes of our trim and walls in the front and back of the house. This was determinant in our color selection. Our crew worked diligently throughout the five and a half days it took to complete the project. Moreover, they worked during the first week of July, 2024, the hottest this year. We often spoke with Aurelio about taking time for rest breaks. We agreed to earlier start times on several hot days. They always started work on the shadiest side before painting other parts of the house. Aurelio's work on our front door was most impressive because it was a singular challenge. He is a master painter. Aurelio and Ramiro sanded the wood until it was completely bare, and then they stained the doors over two days before adding a final polyurethane finish. The result was excellent. We are pleased with Cartwright Painters and we highly recommend them to you for your exterior painting project. read more

Cartwright Painters sent me a text right away saying that they had available time. They came to quote the job and said they would send the quote over. Two days later I sent them a note saying I still haven't received a quote and they said they would get it to me right away but it's now been two weeks and they never sent over the quote. read more

We hired Cartwright Painters to paint our house and were very happy with their work. Our house was previously painted just 5 years ago--the prior crew was finished in two days but it became clear that the low paint quality and prep work meant we started seeing chips within a year. In contrast, Eric and his team spent over a week with a crew twice as big doing a very solid job preparing and patching and then painting our two-story house. Everyone was a very diligent worker, friendly and polite, and they coordinated with a skilled carpenter to replace damaged wood. Now our place looks fantastic. Between the prep work and the high quality paint from Sherwin Williams, we are confident we won't need to repaint again in 5 years! They also did a great job with our neighbor's house, and gracefully handled challenges like our two garages being 10 inches apart. Would recommend. read more

Ruined my wood floor. Put drawer fronts in the wrong places so now there are gaps everywhere. There are extra screws still inside cabinets. Very bad experience read more

Recently had Eric and his team undertake a full exterior repaint of our home. Great work and really pleased with the final product. Eric went out of his way to get the exact color we wanted, and was always very quick on communications both before and during the project. Would recommend Cartwrights for their work and competitive price. read more

I was matched with Cartwright painters through the Yelp jobs function. They were quickly responsive to my request for a quote and were at my home within a few days to do an in person estimate. While they were not the cheapest quote - they were firmly in the middle - they had good availability, were very professional from the first interaction, and able to work with what we were looking for. They came out today to do the painting, I anticipated it to take the whole day, but they were efficient, on time, and done in a little over 3 hours! The room looks great, and I really appreciated their prompt work. read more

Communication with Cartwright Painters was excellent. I had double entry doors refinished and they are beautiful. Steve, the painter, was highly professional and was meticulous with his work. Fair price and excellent work! Will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Professional. Timely. Responsible. Outstanding customer service. Those are just a few words that resonate with us when we hired Cartwright Painters. We had a small drywall and painting project. We updated our primary bedroom, primary bathroom walls and cabinets, main level bathroom, crown molding, baseboards, staircase. Raul did a great job. Eric, project manager was a delight to work with. We've already referred them out to friends. We would definitely rehire the Cartwright team. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Cartwright Painters. They were very professional throughout the entire process and really listened to our comments and feedback. Eric was great to work with -- very helpful and attentive to our needs. All of the staff were courteous, respectful, and highly skilled.

The Cartwright team did a wonderful job on my full exterior house painting. They managed to shorten the duration of the job by sending crews to spray wash and tape/prep ahead of the scheduled date. All of the crews were on time, efficient, tidy, and safety-minded, especially the team of Jose, Donna, and David. The pricing quoted by Eric was very competitive, and the suggestions he made on type of paint were helpful, which included painting samples of the colors I chose on several walls and surfaces of my house to be certain of how they looked. I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again. read more

We chose Jonathan and Aaron's team at Cartwright for painting the entire exterior of our home. We consulted with other contractors, but Cartwright had the most thorough preparation, was able to paint the eaves a different color than the body of the home (without charging extra) and didn't need to use my neighbor's sideyards. Other contractors were not able to do this and proposed lower quality paint. Aaron and Jonathan were my main contacts and they were prompt and responsive during the entire process and gave good advice on the colors and sheen. Throughout the entire week, their team came promptly on time and cleaned up at the end of every day. They were also accommodating and came back to finish the garage door at a later date since its installation was delayed. I have received numerous compliments on how great the paint job was and I would gladly do business with this company again! read more

Unfortunately no showed twice. First time he only responded with the reason after I reached out. The second time, even after I reached out, he didn't respond. I'm rather sad. He seemed like a nice guy to work with. I hope that he is okay but definitely seems disorganized. read more

I really appreciated working with the Cartwright team for my largish project painting my combined family, dining, kitchen walls AND cabinets. They provided a competitive price and made quick work of the project. They expected a full week of work but ended up finishing in 3 days (a pleasant surprise)! They completed the job sooner than expected and didn't sacrifice the quality! The team was courteous and prompt, I would definitely recommend them! read more

We just had our house exterior repainted as well as a shed and a pergola in the backyard by Cartwright. I found them intially through Angie's List and liked the finished pictures of some of the homes they had painted. Aaron was very quick with the request for a quote and I appreciated the quote having the step by step process explained. There was some confusion with the paint colors but it was corrected without too much problem. We had two painters for our project and I found them to be very respectful of our property, which I appreciated. They were always on time, which is not always the case these days. They came out on a Saturday because it had rained Friday am. This definitely helped to get the project done in a timely manner. They were receptive to our requests and we are happy with the end result. We needed to use google translator (english to spanish) at times but that was fine. The house is really looking good and clean. read more

Yelpers -- I want to preface by saying that while I did not end up moving forward with Cartwright Painters' services, I was compelled to write a 5 START REVIEW, due to their exceptional customer care provided to me. Today is 03.22.23 and I unfortunately found out that there was water leakage in my bathroom window caused by the storm in San Jose. My parents recommended that I work with my uncle's contractor (name and details removed here to avoid slandering), to which I learned that horizontal rainfall against my stucco wall made it through some new cracks and created leakage. I was given a sticker shock-worthy quote, with no bill of material details, process on how to solve and future-proof other than "we'll apply a few coats of *special sealant* to your wall and it will solve the issue." I sent out an SOS on Yelp and AARON (Sales Consultant) from Cartwright Painters immediately replied and made himself available. Aaron was intensely mindful of my situation, patiently responded to my never-ending questions, offered professional + honest guidance, and even offered competitive pricing. What I appreciated the most was the level of detail in which he described their assessment process, statement of work, materials used, and above and beyond service to ensure color matching and ongoing warranty. We communicated over the course of several hours as I was doing additional due diligence and exploring other businesses as well. He was never pushy, salesy, or rude whatsoever. At the end of the day, it was extremely difficult to decide between Cartwright Painters and another local business, but I was able to have my budgetary needs met by the competition (offering A-Z services as well). Aaron - I want to thank you for your support and know that it was just the cost at the end of the day that influenced by decision. Your service and the care your bring teams to the community is top class. Thank you! HIGHLY RECOMMEND CARTWRIGHT as a reliable partner for paint and repair needs. Take care! read more

Excellent Customer Service! I highly recommend Cartwright Painters! They recently painted the exterior of our house and did a fantastic job! We initially met with Aaron who walked the job with us. He's very knowledgeable and was able to cover all aspects of what was needed to complete this project. From overall scheduling to paint selection to work completion, everything happened as expected. There were no surprises or hidden costs. Aurelio and Ramiro are excellent painters who work well together. They are organized, detailed oriented, clean and arrived on time each day. We had been in search for a good house painting company so started with the exterior to assess overall work quality. Cartwright Painters did a top notch job so we are looking forward to them painting our house interior. read more

I finally decided to get a new paint job for the house. I've held off on this project for so long (several years), so it was important for me to get this right the first time. Otherwise, I'd be living with a paint job that I wasn't completely satisfied with for the next several years or so. I went on Yelp, did some research, contacted and met with several potential painting contractors. I had a very specific and detailed color scheme that I had in mind. There were pros and cons for each of them -- some were simply priced way above the baseline of estimates that I was receiving, some expressed limitations on what they were capable of doing (i.e. requiring the paint color underneath the eaves to match the color of the house body, which was something that I did not want), etc. After weighing my options, I ultimately decided to go with Cartwright Painters. Not only did they give me the best/fairest deal, but they also did not express any of those types of limitations. I met with Aaron, who was the project manager of the job. We did our walk through, and I explained to him what I wanted, and he clearly understood my vision. He was honest, easy-to-engage, and trustworthy, which is always a big plus when dealing with contractors. He made the entire process (end-to-end) very seamless for me. It is worth noting that during our meeting, I mentioned to Aaron that I had my daughter's birthday party coming up the following Saturday. My main concern was if any work equipment would be left around by the time my daughter's party arrived. I was completely fine if they decided to start the work after that date. However, I think Aaron got the sense that I would've been really happy if they could get the paint job done before the party. That way I have a new paint job to showcase to our guests. Aaron said that they could get it done before then. It took them 5 days (Mon to Friday) to complete the job. By that Friday evening, the house was painted, looking very nice, with no mess left behind. We received many compliments on the new paint job from Saturday's guests. Shout out to the guys that performed the work -- Alex, Victor, Jesus, Gilbert, and one more other guy (I forgot his name, but I think it was Eugene?) Those guys were professional, courteous, and were clear experts at what they do. If they had any questions, I'd only need to explain to them once, and they understood what I wanted. Going forward, I will always consider Cartwright Painters for any painting project that I have around the house. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor to handle their home painting project. I've attached a few before and after photos of the work that Cartwright Painters did. read more

Just had our interior painted by Cartwright Painters. They did a fantastic job. Initially met with Aaron for the project scope, time estimate, and cost. Cost was reasonable. Project was done on time and in less than a week. The work is high quality - we are impressed. Both Aaron and his painters were a pleasure to work with! read more

Antonio came and redid the paint in our bathroom. It was peeling from not being well-ventilated for too long. He did a truly incredible job, above and beyond in terms of detail. He very trustworthy, and the paint looks amazing months later. Highly recommend Cartwright. I was also very happy with the price, especially in comparison to other places. I've already reached out to them for another project. read more

We had a very positive experience with Cartwright Painters. The process was very smooth. Mike came to our house to get a sense of the job, then gave us a very reasonable quote. The communication and alignment about the colors was flawless and without any confusion (which Im sure can happen a lot). Whenever we had questions throughout the process, we got a prompt response. The freshly painted house looks beautiful and meets our expectations. We would always work with them again. read more

They were very professional from the start. They were very approachable and accommodating. I was away on vacation as they worked and they provided timely updates to the project with pictures. Easy to communicate with via text or phone. Payment was also easy via text. Team also did extra work to fix some areas free of charge. Even when they had to fix areas after the first attempt they were apologetic and came back and did the work. No hassle. They also accommodated my ever changing schedule to meet with me and inspect the work. I would hire them again. read more

We hired Cartwright Painters to paint two bedrooms for us recently. We received a response and quote from Brandon very quickly. Their pricing was fair. We decided to go with Cartwright not only for the price but also because they were able to do the job within a reasonable time, unlike another company who quoted us a few weeks out. My husband especially appreciated the communication with Brandon. We were able to call, text, and FaceTime with him. We had already painted another room previously and wanted to match the paint. My husband was able to text Brandon a photo of the old paint can and they were able to pick up the right paint color for us. The painters and Brandon showed up on time the day of the job. They had masks on for COVID safety. They helped us move the heavier furniture towards the middle of the rooms and covered everything to make sure no paint got on anything. They did a decent job of patching the holes and did a great job of painting the walls (we did not get ceiling or baseboards painted). Overall, I am satisfied with the job that they did. read more

Cartwright painters did a superior job on painting the exterior of our residence in Pacific Grove. They were able to match the original color upon our request, started the job on time and finished well before the estimated completion da.

Thanks Aaron, Victor and Eugenio for a great job and wonderful interaction. read more

I had a very sizable painting project a couple weeks ago. Needed to repaint a wood deck, pergola and a concrete deck. I had a few quotes from Yelp from both painters and construction contractors. Eventually I went with Cartwright. Honestly say, Cartwright's price wasn't the cheapest one among all the quotes. In fact, it is noticeable higher. But Aaron explained the steps that will take place for the jobs and the points that I was really concerned, such as sanding the wood, repairing the wood, and repairing the cracked concrete. The crew led by Aurelio was good. Aurelio was very knowledgeable. Since I was home for the week that the team was working so I was able communicate with both Aaron and Aurelio well. They accommodated some of detailed painting very well. The pergola turned out beautifully. I had this reprinted a few times before. This one is the best. The concrete painting was the next. It reached my expectation, and my wife is satisfied. This is important since she was against the concrete painting . There was a color mix-up at the beginning for the concrete painting, but it was corrected without extra cost. The wood deck is old, the repainting turned out to be ok. Overall, I am happy with the job. I don't mind to make a recommendation to my friends. read more

Cartwright Painters did an amazing job painting the interior of our house. The crew was respectful and worked fast while still doing a high quality job. Price was a big reason we went with Cartwright, but they delivered even more! There was some miscommunication on part of the quote, but Brandon was 100% reasonable and in the end it was a non-issue. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for painters. They will get the job done correctly, within budget and on time! read more

Not a review of the quality of workmanship...They failed to show up for an appointment to get a quote, so I tried one more time and set up a second appointment with them the following week, and they failed to show up for that one as well. I don't have any background on their work, but honestly wouldn't be able to trust that they would complete a job at this point. Update: I'm sort of taken aback by the response to my review. No one came to our door, we were present the entire time and we re-checked our ring for anyone having come to the door. I was the one who reached out over yelp because no one showed up. Only after my communication did I hear back three hours later with a request to contact via phone - where I did text and we set up another appointment for the following week. Again, on the second appointment no one showed up, nor did anyone contact me with why no one showed up. Only after I posted a review here did I get a response claiming that someone showed up and no one was there, subsequently making an excuse that you must have gone to the wrong address (which has never been a problem in the 9 years we have lived there). Again, I have no basis for the workmanship of the company, but the coordination fell short. We've had a lengthy text exchange following my review, so laying the blame on me here is surprising to say the least. read more

We needed the front portion of our building repainted. Cartwright Painters did a great job of painting, and that, too, at a reasonable price. They arrived timely, finished the work timely, and followed up after that to make sure it was all good. I asked them to provide the paint, too, and they went an extra mile to make sure that the color matched exactly as per my expectations. Overall, I am very satisfied with the work. Thank you, Cartwright Painters! read more

We spent a long time looking for the right painters to get both of our garages painted and epoxied, Brandon and his team were super responsive and were wonderful to work with. They completed the job to a very high standard and we couldn't be happier. We will have future painting projects soon, and I can't recommend Cartwright painters highly enough. If you are looking for quality and professional painters Brandon and his team should be on the top of your shortlist of people to call. read more

From the initial estimate with Aaron to the actual work completed with Alex and his team, Cartwright painting exceeded our expectations.

Professional service from initial visit with Aaron, coordination and customer service with Edith, quality prep and workmanship of Norman to the final inspection, the whole Cartwright Painting team was a pleasure to work with. The project was finished a day early and we unequivocally recommend Cartwright for exterior painting as we did (or interior painting that Cartwright did with equal professionalism for a neighbor.) We are so satisfied with Cartwright that we are recommending the company to family. read more

There are just too many good things I can say about my experience with Cartwright Painters! (1) The first thing I saw, right away, was how punctual they were --- if they said they would respond by a certain time, they did. They came right on time for the estimate appointment, they delivered their estimate on that same day, and they always arrived on time to work. To me, this says a lot about how responsible and trustworthy a company is. (2) Aaron, the sales manager (or whatever you call his job), was SO very patient and responsive to my zillion questions I texted him prior to my choosing their company (from the four different companies I took estimates from), no matter what time I messaged him; I would tell him I thought I was being a pest, but he would always say, "That's what I'm here for." (3) The three workers (Alex, Victor, and Eugenio) were competent, careful, and painstaking in their work, and made a point to clean up thoroughly after each day's work. (4) Finally, they were really friendly and respectful guys. And, oh yes, I forgot to mention --- their quote was the lowest of all four companies I had gotten bids from. It was 57% of the highest bid, for the same work. That was not what drew me to them, however; I chose them for all the reasons above. I could kind of sense, from my first meeting with Aaron for the estimate, that this might be a responsible company. (Of the other three companies, some were late in either arriving to the estimate appointment, or wrote down the wrong date for the appointment, or took two days or more to send their bid, or weren't as responsive when I emailed or texted them questions.) Finally, another thing that really impressed me was how they took full responsibility to replace an accidentally-damaged wooden basement bulkhead door, with Brandon and Aurelio spending four hours on Sunday, two days after the painting job was done, to build the door. So, if you are looking into a painting contractor, definitely consider Cartwright Painters. read more

Cartwright just completed our exterior house project and we are so happy we chose this wonderful business. We talked to multiple companies and took our time before hiring anyone. It ultimately came down to the exceptional customer service we received from Cartwright. Aaron was patient with us and gave us great ideas and information from start to finish. Someone was always available if we had any questions, and everyone we worked with was equally awesome. Alex and Victor did an amazing job taping off the house before they began painting and were extremely careful and neat throughout the entire project. We can't thank them enough for treating our home respectfully. This business cares! That is hard to find these days. Not only did our house turn out beautifully, it was also completed in one week! Thank you Cartwright for being so great. We will recommend you to everyone we know. You are wonderful to work with! We appreciate all of you! read more
