    Double front doors

    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.

    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.

    After the paint job

    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!

    Hope B.

    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!

    I got three quotes and Cartwright was the most economical and most detailed bid. Aaron was the estimator and he did a great job. There were two painters and they knocked the job out in two days. They were clean, and did a thorough job.

    Finished
    Ki S.

    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.

    Before

    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.

    The crew does a good job. They make sure to caulk all the cracks and they don't cause a mess with paint splatter. It's nice and neat.

    I am very glad I went with Target Painting.

They were able to match the paint and make our outside wall look like new. I felt that they went above and beyond by getting to hard to reach areas and we are very satisfied with their work. We especially appreciated that Hugo came back the next day to touch up a few things that we had noticed. Both him and Jose were great!They also charge a fair price for their service. They also did some interior painting work and they did a great job there as well. They are very professional and talented in their craft. Would use them again for any painting needs we have!

    Unprofessional, careless, and combative…read more I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your painting needs. Working with this company was a stressful experience from start to finish. Poor Communication & Absent Management: Communication across the board--with both the owner, Ibsan, and his crew--was frustrating. I was asked for my color choices probably 10 times and Ibsan and his crew kept threatening extra charges for finishes that were explicitly included in their original quote. Messy Worksite & Property Damage: Throughout the entire project, the crew constantly left our property in disarray, scattering tools, paint cans, and trash across our front, back, and side yards. They also damaged our attic vents and refused to take responsibility, claiming the damage was pre-existing. The crew also never fully cleaned up--I still have tons of paint chips and paint drops everywhere. Complete Disregard for Property Protection: I specifically emphasized how important it was to properly block off the soffit vents over my garage, as I store a lot of items in it alongside a brand new vehicle. All they did was cover them with a thin layer of masking tape, which blew right off during pressure washing. Instead of stopping to fix it, Hugo, the foreman, kept right on power washing directly into the open vents and shrugged it off when I brought it to his attention. My car and everything stored in the garage were covered with dirty sludge which will take me me days to clean. Sloppy Workmanship & Cut Corners: While they did an excellent job on stucco patching and prep, basic surface prep like scraping and sanding elsewhere else was really inconsistent, leaving an uneven finish in several areas. Even on day 1, the crew wasn't even planning to use a commercial mold remover despite visible mold present. Hugo argued with me, as he did throughout the entire project; while Ibsan agreed to handle it, he simply returned with a small spray bottle of consumer-grade cleaner you can get at Safeway and they only bothered to treat my rain gutters. Gaslighting & Constant Pushback: Whenever I pointed out a clear mistake either in prep or painting, the crew always said, "it was like that, you just didn't notice it before" so I had to show them "before" photos proving otherwise and then they begrudgingly corrected the mistake. Getting basic issues addressed required pressing them repeatedly. Hugo tried to convince me that I should "just trust the professional painter" and spent three days arguing to leave an unmasked, un-prepped window frame they accidentally painted--an issue that ultimately took just 5 minutes to clean. Hugo said, "well it's worth trying." Ignoring Instructions & Insubordination: The most absurd moment of the entire job happened on our porch. While applying a specialized product Ibsan admitted they had never used before, Hugo and I discussed the plan earlier in the day, which called for a 4-hour dry time between coats per the label instructions. Yet just an hour after he applied it, he started applying a second coat anyway. When I caught this and directly asked him to stop, he completely ignored my instructions, feeding me some nonsense line about "letting the product talk to him"--clearly rushing to finish the job so they wouldn't have to return the next day as discussed. He refused to stop working on my own property and literally kept painting right in front of me until I had to call Ibsan to intervene. It was completely mind-boggling and if Ibsan hadn't answered, my next call was to the police. To cap it all off, after that major altercation with Hugo, Ibsan promised to call the next day to address what had happened, but clearly didn't care enough to do so. To be fair, the end result looks good as long as you don't get too close, but there were much cheaper bids that would have accomplished the same thing with a lot less stress. If you're not willing to constantly fight and push for what you want, avoid them entirely. Save yourself the headache and hire a team that respects you, your home, your contract, and basic professional standards.

    My house was in bad need of fresh paint so I went looking for painters and found NStyle on Yelp…read morealong with a couple others. We got quotes from three firms total and Nstyle's was the lowest but they had the best reviews on Yelp so we decided to go with them, and those reviews proved true. We started with a small job to paint a bedroom and closet inside the house, which would have a white ceiling and dark walls. Fernando did it beautifully with "crispy" sharp lines where the two colors met and a smooth, flawless finish all around. When it came time to paint the exterior, Fernando as well as the rest of the NStyle crew did an awesome job with excellent attention to detail. They even worked weekends to be sure our job was finished before a new gutter install happened. Throughout the multi-step project, Nick, the owner, was easy to communicate with and took any feedback or requests we had in stride. At one point, the trim color was partway done but we realized it wasn't the right color ... even though Nick's team had already painted a swatch for us to approve; it just looked different in the afternoon sun. So I texted Nick about it, on Labor Day weekend, and he arranged to get a swatch of the new color painted as soon as Sherwin Williams opened and we were back on track (with no extra charges). The paint job looks gorgeous and I'm in love with my house again, thanks to NStyle. I'll have them back anytime I need some painting done; they're that good.

I had already received 2 other estimates from other painters on Yelp, so I was ready to get started. So the guys show up at 8am on Wednesday and start priming the wood. They worked from 8am til 5pm on Wednesday and Thursday, then finished the job at noon on Friday. Nice! The color was perfect and they give a one year guarantee so if it needs some touch up, Pete says they will come back and do the touch up. Good price and excellent workmanship. Like I said, I highly recommend.
