In short, Chris and his team are everything you could want from a professional painting outfit. They know what they're doing, and take pride in doing it right. Highly recommended!

Although most of the paint job is holding up, I can't recommend the company because it appears they did little to no prep work on a house that definitely needed prep work in only a few places. Furthermore, once the job failed within the first year, I asked them to fix it and learned that they offer NO warranty on their workmanship so they were unwilling to do anything for me. In particular my front porch, which is sheltered from the sun, had a solid red stain on it that still had some of its original glossy finish. They did nothing to prep the surface (a quick wipe with some liquid sandpaper would have done a lot at very little effort) and instead just sprayed it with a topcoat of standard house paint where an oil-based primer followed by floor enamel (since much of the surface is flooring) would have been the better way to do it. It only took one good Truckee winter with water penetrating underneath for the paint to shrink and lift from the surface and expose bare wood underneath. It ended up far more ugly and unprotected than when it started. Since they did nothing to help remedy the job when I asked them, I had to fix the job my own expense and at great effort to make sure it was done right. I expected more from professionals who had experience dealing with the harsh climate.

As usual, I asked for bids from three companies. Larry was by far the easiest to work with on details and color consultation. He had great advice on accent wall location and color. His crew had good attention to detail, stayed on schedule and labeled all the extra paint very well. All this at the most competitive bid with no surprises or changes to the bid. Thank you Larry!

Larry and his crew have cheerfully embraced a family dynasty of nitpicking perfectionists and they ALWAYS do it right the first time and every time. Larry is an encyclopedia of paint chemicals, proper preparation, and application. He should have his own TV show: The Paint Guy. But he doesn't just say how it should be done, he does it. Two years ago, Sierra Rainbow stained our 1969 built house for the (sixth) time in October 2015 and it literally just glowed and even today, still glows. Literally, you stop at the road and everyone goes "whoah!!!" Sierra Rainbow stains our decks every two years and that is the only reason we still have the original deck. They just completed the latest staining in September 2016 and the deck looks fantastic. Sierra Rainbow has also refinished the interior of our house five times. I would emphatically recommend Sierra Rainbow as the one and only source for your Tahoe painting needs.

Exceptional experience with Easterbrook Painting. After meeting Jim for the first time, when he…read morecame to prepare a bid, I was very impressed with his breadth of knowledge about stain products and what was most appropriate for my home. As I continued to speak with him I was impressed with how he ran his business, and how very similar it was with how I ran my own business, even down to how he managed his labor force. I felt that I ran my own operation very well and was very successful. I had no doubt that I didn't need to even talk to another contractor. Jim's was the only bid I obtained, as I was certain that I had called the right contractor Months later, when the work was done, every expectation was not only met, but exceeded. My home not only looks teriffic, but the entire process was outstanding: the crews were knowledgeable and well trained, all time on my property was done in a careful and completely safe manner, no mistakes, spills, stain where it shouldn't be, and clean up was so complete that it was like no one was even here. Every member of the crews worked together in a manner that was obvious that they all liked each other, important in having a job well done. Prior to starting I was confused as to the start date and I wasn't ready for them to start. Jim was very gracious and postponed for a week so I could get my act together. I intend to have Easterbrook Painting maintain the exterior of my home for as long as I own it. And if I ever paint the interior I will absolutely have Jim take care of it

This was on a Friday. He was supposed to buy baseboards over the weekend and paint them and then install on Monday. It lightly snowed on Monday and he didn't show up. Then Tuesday came and he didn't show up and wouldn't answer texts either. He said he was gonna show up on Wednesday. When I confirmed again, he said it was too stressful and he wasn't gonna do the job and kept the $200. Bad faith dealing. I wanted to give him a chance despite his bad reviews but he totally messed up and kept the $200. He said that was the price for measuring! Do not hire him and save yourself a lot of anguish. See our text exchanges attached.

Paid $40,300. Work not completed. Licensed contractor was in Hawaii…read more I want to be factual and specific so this is useful to other homeowners. The license: Contracts are signed by Kipp Cooley, License #564864. He is the licensed contractor of record. He lives in Hawaii and operates a separate painting business there. He was not present at our home at any point during the project, and we did not speak with him until we reached out ourselves -- two months into the job. Who ran the job: A man named Colton Morgan handled all communication, signed our contracts, and directed all payments to his personal Venmo, Zelle, and wire transfer accounts. Colton Morgan is not a licensed contractor. He does not hold a CSLB license of his own, and he does not receive a W-2 from High Sierra Painting -- he is not an employee of the licensed business in any legal sense. Despite this, he operated as though he were the contractor throughout the entire project. The subcontractors: The actual painting work was performed by subcontractors we were never informed about and never consented to. Those subcontractors did not hold a California contractor's license and had no workers' compensation insurance -- the same situation as High Sierra Painting itself, which carries a workers' comp exemption by declaring zero employees to the state. When we confronted Colton about this, he told us they worked for him. California state records confirm that is not possible. What we paid: $40,300 of a $53,475 contract -- paid through personal Venmo, Zelle, and wire transfer. Not one payment went to a business account in the name of High Sierra Painting. What wasn't done: Exterior painting on all four sides of our home was less than half complete. Inside: no caulking on any window trim, door trim, or baseboards. Wrong-color nail hole filler on all alder trim -- white filler visible throughout. Staircase uncaulked. Wrong paint product applied to Trex composite deck caps -- actively peeling. The deadline: We received a written text commitment that everything would be done by June 12. When we spoke with the actual licensed contractor in July, he told us it is "nearly impossible to set a completion date" on a project like ours. Those two statements cannot both be true. Where we are now: Formal CSLB complaint filed. Exterior contract terminated after discovering the undisclosed subcontracting. I am not posting this out of frustration. I am posting this because the structure of how this business operates -- an unlicensed individual signing contracts and collecting payments, a licensed contractor living in another state, undisclosed subcontractors with no license or insurance -- is something every homeowner in Truckee deserves to know before signing
