This yelp review is long overdue! Huge shout-out to Custom Painting for consistently doing outstanding work. Our first project was painting the interior of our home, and Norman is awesome to work with-he's trustworthy, follows through, has great communication, and truly cares about making sure his clients are happy. He was incredibly professional and so helpful with color suggestions, and we absolutely love the colors he recommended. He also provided a very competitive quote, and his crew was professional and did a fantastic job. Two years later, we reached out to Norman again to paint the exterior of our home, and once again, we were not disappointed. The quality, care, and professionalism were just as impressive. Our next project will be our kitchen cabinets, and we would not consider anyone else! read more

Custom Painting painted our entire second floor. The service was outstanding. Responsive, areas kept tidy and organized. Their quality of craftsmanship FIVE STARS. read more

This was the second time I used Custom Painting. Excellent service at affordable price.

Norman did an excellent job repairing and painting the house. The entire procedure is professional and friendly. Contract is clear, timeline is accurate, inspection is thorough, quality is great. He also gave nice guidance on color selection. I couldn't be happier with the project. read more

Victor and his team did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Custom Painting. Their preparation was done properly, the crew was efficient and professional throughout, and the cleanup was impeccable. There was no mess left behind, and the exterior staining on our eaves and gutters looks excellent. read more

We recently hired Custom Painting to do some decorative work on our garage to - replace 3 roof facia boards (2 at front of garage and 1 on side), - remove 3 decorative beams under roof eaves at front of garage, - touch up all disturbed areas. We were able to communicate with Norman VP/owner throughout the whole process with ease and the pricing also very reasonable. Although the scale of work is not major, Norman has dealt with all our concerns with respect and integrity, over and beyond to ensure we were happy with the end results. In the end, the crew has done a very professional repair job on all the surfaces after beams were removed and an excellent paint job. This is an honest company I highly recommend and will definitely consider using again. read more

We changed out 6 interior doors in our home recently. Since we used Custom Painting for the outside of our house and we were extremely happy with the results, we contacted Custom Painting again. Norman replied immediately and provided an estimate soon after. After accepting the estimate, a start date was given after paying a small signing payment. Weeks later, Norman contacted us and told us his team would be able to start 3-days prior to agreed date. Painter showed up minutes early on the new date. He taped off all areas that would be exposed to the painting. Prep work and priming was completed on all doors and casing. The painting was completed in 2-days. Everything that was covered was removed and areas cleaned up. The finished work is marvelous, no ripples or botches seen on the doors and casing. Even with the design of the doors and multiple edges present on our new interior doors, the paint work is excellent. Though this may be a small project, there was excellent communication throughout the entire process. From the office administrator, the painter, and Norman, they all informed us what needed to be done and what was completed. Norman stopped by on both days to check on the work. If you have not used Custom Painting, you need to. You cannot go wrong with the pricing, communication, and quality of work. This is an exceptional company. One last but most important part to us, Norman and his employee would offer a handshake at the start and at the end of the project. They look you in the eye when communicating. This is an example of the honest and genuine integrity of this company and their employees. read more

Victor and his team from Custom Painting in Livermore just finished and we couldn't be happier with their work. We select called Custom Painting because they are local and selected them because of their responsiveness and reputation. We had Hardie cement board siding put on the second floor a few years ago so that was fine, but we really needed the first floor stucco and all gutters, eves, fascia, etc. were overdue. Norman came out and gave a fair estimate. He was very clear about what was to be done and about how long it would take. We were happy to get the call that they wanted to start 2 days early. They started with a thorough power washing. Since they were up on the high ladders to do the eves, etc they did an unexpected quick wash of the cement boards also. Then it was scraping and sanding, very extensive, taking most of the fascia boards down to the bare wood. Followed by priming any bare wood or where the old paint was cracked. The actual painting was meticulous, drop cloths, masking tape and sheets and considerable skill kept it neat. During the final cleanup I noticed a guy with a razor blade scraper cleaning the tiny line that was on the edge of the glass patio window where the masking tape was not quite perfect. For the wonderful job they did, the cheerful greeting whenever I walked around (just seeing how it was going) and the regular question "Is everything OK? Is there anything we're missing?"must give them the highest recommend. Tim & Patti A. Livermore read more

A little late in commenting, but Norman did a great job on our indoor railing project and even suggeted a spot to paint that would blend in better with the room last October. He was able to obtain the paint required for an excellent job. We have used Custom Painting in the past for a bedroom and bathroom and also the outside of our house. I highly recommend this company. read more

We called Custom Painting to paint our fencing, fireplace, and trim around our front door. Norman, who supervised the work, came by every day to check on how the work was coming along. The painters arrived early and on time every morning. They were friendly, and their painting is impeccable. They cleaned up the work area at the end of every work day. It is evident that they take great pride in their work. Norman, as he has in the past, suggested color combinations for our fireplace mantel and stone. We went with his suggestion; we couldn't be happier with how the fireplace looks. Norman is extremely helpful and great to work with. We have used Custom Painting the past few years, and their work has been consistently excellent. We would not hesitate to call them for any other painting needs. read more

Custom Painting did an amazing job painting our house. They worked diligently and cleaned up everyday. The house looks FABULOUS!

I don't like to write reviews but this is an exception. We had a contract with Norman, and in December, Custom Painting started to paint (Cardboard for the trim and Buff for the body) but the rain came and the job was delayed. However, his people caught up with the schedule and I was impressed. This month in January, the job was done. Previously, I was informed by Norman when the doors to the apartments in 2 buildings are going to be painted so I can notify the tenants to leave them open and dried. And to my surprise, his painters even painted the railings! I will recommend Custom Painting to my brother who owns an apartment building in Hayward. Good job, Custom Painting! read more

This is SO long overdue! Due to my health circumstances, I just cannot get to all that I want to and this review just continued to slip through the cracks of my much needed "to dos". However, I am glad to bring finally our experience to Yelp for others to see! Custom Painting was exceptional. Norman was friendly, attentive, HONEST, flexible and very detail oriented. He and his team did a wonderful job assessing our family home and spent much quality time preparing our home for a fresh coat of paint. No surface was left unprepped. (Prep makes or breaks a proper paint job and so many contractors can skimp on this step or charge you 3x the amount for what is needed.) When there were questions or concerns, Norman was responsive and very respectful. He listened to our input and made us feel like our family home mattered to him. He didn't rush the job and waited for the best conditions (considering it was Fall and subject to rain) for his work and that made a huge difference in the final result. He allowed us to be involved in every aspect of the process and was willing to use the products we preferred. He gave great recommendations and was thorough. His team was pleasant, polite and on time. Normal kept up in the loop with any schedule or cost related impacts. His prices were absolutely reasonable and I never felt like anything was unfair. Such a rarity in the business! You will NOT be disappointed using Norman and his team. He was great, trustworthy, flexible, patient and after a few years, our home still looks freshly painted! Thank you, Custom Painting, for a job WELL DONE!! read more

Norman's team did an excellent job at a cost competitive rate. Believe the 4 and 5 star reviews - I will certainly hire again for future painting needs. read more

Custom Painting - Fresh coat of paint in living room - feels like a new house! - Painters Near Me - Livermore, California

Requested a quote the day prior, got a fair quote quickly and they showed up on time the next morning and did a great job. Happy customer.

We used them 10 years ago, we loved the outcome and paint quality. Good prep work too as in power washing, kilz over some dark stain. one complaint was we had some flaking off of old stucco that we had to touch up. i love that they use Kelly Moore paints. they were a tad high but maybe they were charging travel time? it was worth it to us. was thinking of using them again now that we are selling. read more

Bailed on us the last minute. After approving the project said "I took on another project for tomorrow."

These guys did a phenomenal job. They were on time and professional which is half the battle these days. Highly recommend and we will use them again in the future! read more

Exemplary service from initial contact to completion of the job. Norman's quote was fair and reasonable and he promised not to nickel and dime me over repairing my old house. (I got 8 quotes and yes, there was some ridiculous-ness) The painters worked early and stayed late. They respected and honored my house. I love the painting of my house. People who have come to my house for years ask for my address now (LOL). They do not recognize the house. My neighbors love that beauty that upgrades the neighborhood. I would give them 6 stars if possible. START with this painter and save yourself time and effort. read more

Thank you, Norman and team, for doing a fantastic job on our home. We had a color scheme in mind, and Norm did a great job ensuring that our vision reflected on our house. He chose the color and made recommendations for our home. Everyone who walks by says our home looks brand new. I can't say enough about the service we received from custom painting. The experience was excellent, and we will use him and his team for our future projects. read more

My review is about their communication and bidding process. Norman responded promptly and gave me a price over email which was reasonable. I then specified that I wanted a penetrating epoxy primer for the bare wood as it solidifies the weathered wood and helps paint stick better. He responded by changing his quote to an hourly price, which to me was expensive. With an hourly rate, I never know the ability of the person performing the work. It puts all of the risk on me. I'll keep looking read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CUSTOM PAINTING! We needed to paint our interior and got 4 quotes from local businesses in the Tri Valley. Of the 4, Custom Painting was one of the most responsive, professional, and knowledgeable, the fastest to send the estimate, and the best value. So in the end we selected Custom Painting and they were fantastic. Norman was great to work with, his crew was all super friendly, considerate, and worked their tails off to get the project done in 2 days as promised. They did an amazing job and we could not be happier. read more

I really liked this company. They did a great job on our home and they did everything they said they would. Their sales guy asked a lot of good questions and they quoted a very fair price. Five stars. read more

Custom Painting - Sweet job guys - Painters Near Me - Livermore, California

Have used Mark's company multiple times, both exterior and recently the interior, and have always been thoroughly satisfied. Norman is friendly and professional, adds insight and advice to help you get to your final selections. Crew was friendly, clean, and timely in their work. read more

Had them provide a bid for painting exterior of my house. They provided a reasonable bid detailed bid. Wife asked them to paint small area with multiple colors to sample what would work, they did this multiple times. In the meantime HOA killed any plans we had to change colors, and we got delayed by 3-5 months. We now have a long process to try to get this sorted out but once we succeed, this is the company we will be using. Although Custom Painting has yet to paint my house, I like how they dealt with things up to now. They are legit. You can always save $500-$1,500 on a home like mine but professionalism is the little things you do. read more

There are not enough good things I can say about the team at Custom Painting. I first had them paint the interior of my home before I moved in back in November. Norman is a joy to work with, he is communicative, attentive and easy going. He also has a ton of knowledge and expertise for choosing colors, finishes and just helping you out through the process. For my job back in November they were able to squeeze me in a finish the job right before my furniture arrived, which was HUGE. The interior looks amazing and their attention to detail is amazing. I knew I would have them come back to paint the exterior once the weather got better, and once again they knocked it out of the park. The team works so hard, they are kind, courteous and professional. They got every detail handled, dealt with me changing my mind about a million times and in the end, I feel like I'm living in a totally new house! I would recommend this crew to anyone! Please don't hesitate to book Custom Painting if you need any paint work done, big or small! read more

Excellent job. He painted one exterior wall. It looks great. He took his time to do it right. I will recommend to my friends.

Hard to judge Custom Painting on their painting, but their lack of response to getting a bid is not good. I left a message with my contact info with a live person and no call or email back. Then a week later I left info on Custom Painting's website and no call or email back. Poor response probably means poor service. picked another painting contractor I am very pleased with read more

Norman is so professional. They took the job and finished it so smoothly. Amazing experience His team went above and beyond to make sure I like the work Thank you read more

They did a great job on the exterior painting of the house and even fixed some unexpected little things that came up. Responsive, great work, and at a decent price considering the scope of work. Thanks! read more

Norman was very responsive and gave me a rough quote to stain our deck based on the photos I sent. He gave a very competitive quote, so I asked him to see the deck for a firm quote and he confirmed the original one. He was friendly, responsive and professional. His painter Jesus, showed up on time and did great work, although I asked him to stain in between the floor boards. He came back the next morning to finish the job and it looks great! Very happy with Custom Painting's quality, value and customer service and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I appreciate Norman's commitment to provide a quality product. He did a daily inspection of the work to ensure that I was completely satisfied. read more

I have had Custom Painting do three jobs for me. They did my exterior whole house painting many years ago, a whole house interior earlier this year and most recently another whole house exterior on our current home. They are professional, clean, on time and did an outstanding job. I pass along their information to anyone looking for a painter. Thank you again1 read more

After a ceiling repair, we needed the ceiling in one room repainted. Norman gave a good estimate, and could get the color we requested. His painter noticed an area of the ceiling that would need some minor repair, and it looked much better when painted. The painting looked great and was very neat. read more

Custom Painting did some work for us in 2018 and I highly recommend hiring them! Mark initially came out and gave me a written bid on the same day. We are all busy and I really appreciate contractors who swiftly provide a detailed bid. I called Mark and told him we wanted to have the work done and soon after, I received a detailed contract. I chose my paint color, which they provided, included in the bid. Norman and crew arrived right on time and got busy. They carefully moved furniture and covered our hardwood floors. They guys were very friendly and and did an awesome job. They were very conscious of keeping our house clean and really took care to leave our house exactly as they found it when they left. We will certainly be calling Custom Painting for all future paint projects and I highly recommend calling them if you need your house painted. It is a pleasure to work with such a professional and organized company. read more

Norman and his crew were excellent. We fully intend to use them again. Besides great painting and clean up, excellent prices and follow up. They made it right when there was a slight accident and a window cracked. Thru it all, Norman stayed in touch and got everything fixed. Thank you Norman and crew. It was a pleasure working with you. We'll be calling again! read more

We will absolutely be using this company again for our next painting project! read more
