    This was the work in progress, needed to dry overnight before doing a few coats of paint and putting the lamp and fan back in!

    Dan is the man! If you need quality work done quickly, call him. The leak from my toilet had caused water damage in my downstairs neighbors ceiling. I was responsible for finding someone to repair it...I was worried I wouldn't find someone since it was the week before Thanksgiving. I saw Dan's website on Google and the glowing reviews so I decided to give him a call. From the moment he answered the phone he was friendly, personable, helpful and very responsive. Within a couple minutes we had already set up a time he could come do an onsite inspection. He was at the site the next day giving me a quote and starting the work. I was so grateful. My neighbors were absolutely thrilled at how great he and his son were and thanked me for finding such a delightful team to fix their ceiling. I would give Dan 10/10 and highly recommend anyone who needs fair rates and quality work to give him a call!

    Paint should not come off like a piece of paper.

    I initially thought I was getting a good value with Dan Pena Drywall as their bid for a popcorn ceiling removal, smoothing of the walls, and repainting the entire interior was by far the most competitive. However it has proven to be a major disaster that would cost far more to fix. Not only were there major delays and cost overruns, the drywall is now easily damaged by a mere bump. Worse of all, the paint has started to come off like paper. This is completely unacceptable. They are promised to address these issues, but have never shown up. Be aware! Update: The owner is now harassing me saying that I was never a customer and have the wrong business. This is downright dishonest and shows how desperate they are to remove the review. Check out the contract if you want proof.

    Finished area looks indistinguishable from the rest of the place.

    I reached out to have our ceiling taken care of after a plumber tore a rather large hole out and spent the night compiling quotes. I was worried since many others only did drywall installation and called it a day (low-quality work) -- Dan Pena did it all from end to end. They were able to match the texture and find the right mix of paint to get it properly done. They wore masks the whole time, put down a large protective area around the whole thing, and handled all the clean-up. They were quick to respond to text messages after we agreed on a price and always let me know when they would be coming and what the next steps were. Here's hoping we don't have to deal with another plumbing issue again, but if we need a true professional and licensed expert, I know exactly who to call.

    Hired Dan to drywall a tough shed to convert it into a home office. Dan was able to also insulate, paint, and frame a wall for me. Dan is responsive, skilled, competent, quick, complete, and approachable. He communicates in a timely manner and makes great suggestions. I found him to personable and easy to work with as well. But here's the awesome part... His work was flawless! The ceiling was incredible. He got the job done quickly - he was on the job everyday except when the drywall was curing... and did an exceptional job. The walls, framed room, added pocket door, paint, and trim were completed with care and precision. The insulation has kept the office nice and cozy through all the recent storms. I could not be happier. Dan went above and beyond in fixing a few things about the tough shed that he didn't like - adding more framing and reattaching the front door and weather stripping. We were so happy with his work that we hired him to put in the hardwood floors as well! They're beautiful and perfectly set. We're hiring Dan for a bunch of future projects which is saying a lot... we've been through some terrible craftsmen and contractors. Dan is awesome. Attaching photos of the excellent job.

    Prior to repair. The patch is invisible!

    My plumber had to open the drywall on a ceiling to fix a leak. Dan then came in and did a great job from start to finish with the repair of the 2'x3' hole. A perfectionist, he and his son insisted in doing the job in three days (so that each layer could dry). The result was a perfect "invisible" patch. All elements of the process were A+: responsiveness, price, and execution. Highly recommended!

    Our finished hallway with new WiFi access point and wall-mounted tablet. Before repairs, there was a large opening on the ceiling.

    Danny, Sal, and Davin were all amazing to work with. Don't risk it with other drywall repair guys on Yelp, most of them here don't even have contractor licenses! I found these guys through the CSLB after calling nearly a dozen others and rejecting them because they did not have C-9 license. In the end, I received 3 quotes from licensed drywall contractors and and went with Dan Peña because they were very communicative, flexible with timing, and seemed to care about minimizing debris. We had a fairly large project, costing about $6,000 in drywall repairs alone after having in-wall speakers and network cable installed throughout our townhouse. These guys were very flexible, communicative, and transparent about the work that needed to be done. They were also thoughtful in execution to minimize collateral damage to furniture and flooring. The repairs were finished to the point where we can't even tell that the walls were ever opened up, which is amazing given our orange peel wall texture. The one point of semi-negative feedback I'd have is around billing and quote generation, and even then, part of that is my fault for adding things halfway through. Still, I'd prefer to have everything detailed in writing, as the original quote as written was pretty broad in scope.

    Three skylights removed and drywall patched and painted
    Dave B.

    Everything went smoothly from estimate to cleanup. We had a difficult skylight patch job in a high ceiling over stairwell and several contractors couldn't figure out how to do it. Danny and his team were great, worked with us on a solution and got the job done quickly and results exceeded expectations. Communication was good also with daily status reports. We will definitely use them again.

    Project #2 -After (Inside Closet View)

    Dan took care of two projects: 1) Drywall in the kitchen after some water damage we had 2) Extending our Master Bedroom closet by removing built-in furniture and remove drywalls inside the closet. For both projects, the quality of the work was amazing. My kitchen wall is looking great, does even feel like we never had any water damage. The new design for our closet is also really good. I really encourage you to hire Dan if you want high quality work. You can tell that there is many year of experience and knowledge. You won't be disappointed.

    I had a wonderful experience with Ibsan and Target painting team. From start to finish, team was…read moreprofessional, punctual, and attentive to detail. The quality of their work was excellent, and they took great care to keep everything clean and organized throughout the project.

    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.

    We are so happy we went with N Style Painting. We had them come after we replaced our front door…read moreand windows. Nick walked us through the paint process, helped us pick colors, and did test samples on our house. The paint crew were meticulous and we love the finished product.

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.

    We were pleased with Cartwright Painters who made the exterior of our house beautiful once again…read more 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.
