Over the last 10 years, I have contracted Desert Mesa Painting for 3 home projects and each time their work exceeded expectations. Joe is great at setting up the project, setting expectations and delivering a great result, at a very competitive price. I highly recommend Desert Mesa for all your painting and hard surface coatings projects! read more

We were extremely pleased. George and crew were very friendly, efficient and did an excellent job on our home. The paint, which was semi gloss was recommended and I was concerned because I didn't want sheen. There is no sheen and it just makes the colors bright and standout.... Great advice! read more

Desert Mesa painting painted our house 10 days ago. Joe Jr snd his team did a great job start to finish. As we changed the color of our house he provided samples of the color schemes we were considering. He handled the submission to the HOA and started work the day we received approval. Finished in 3 days as promised. Fixed several stucco issues and a few other issues. House looks great. Cleaned up everything when finished. Highly recommended read more

Desert Mesa Painting did a perfect job painting our home. Highly recommend this company. Joe gave us an estimate and timeline. They did it in 2 days for the quoted amount and the house looks brand new. I know there are scammers and fake reviews but this is genuine. We will be using them again to stain the patio and driveway. Call with confidence. read more

The Desert Mesa Painting workers arrived as scheduled and they finished in two days. The exterior painting quality was excellent, perfect lines. The price was reasonable. The employees were respectful and very friendly, even to our dog. We had them come back to put Kool Deck in our entry. Once Joe confirmed everything was to our satisfaction, we paid. We plan to have them back to paint our home's interior. read more

I hired Desert Mesa in April 2026 to apply Kool Decking with paint to match the base color of the house (Smoky Beige) to my newly installed concrete on the back patio. I also hired Desert Mesa to paint the back patio Pergola to match the base color of the house.The Kool Decking applied was Bajah Tan, color of desert sand. The Pergola was painted Smoky Beige, stucco house paint, and applied to lattice and aluminum beams that fade and peel. I called George Scott who offered a redo; I do not trust him or his company. Pora no longer recommends the company; I will never hire this company again. Suzanne B read more

I have an update on a previous review. It is now February 13 and they have finally agreed to come out today and fix the tragic mess they had made of our driveway. This has been going on for over a month now. They are unreliable and undependable, and are full of excuses. When we ask them exactly what they are going to do to fix our driveway. George literally said I don't know. Apparently there are only a couple of people they work with who do driveways. That being said, they will be sending out the same people that did not do the driveway correctly to begin with. This was done originally on December 30 and the wet caulking is still coming out in between the seams. I'm hoping they can rectify the situation today. It's important for me to note that I did call PORA to file a complaint. The woman told me that they no longer recommend them as they have had too many issues. Not surprising at all! read more

Great job Professional, on time, cleaned up!! Compliments on house from neighbors!! Fairly priced and good follow up read more

The first thing you notice is how young Little Joe is; the last thing you notice as Joe is walking away wishing you well is the amazing feeling of knowing that every job he's done for you has come out perfectly. Joe works with his family , grandfather and father, learning by their side but hardly needing much help. He's mostly in charge of his painting crews of which the jobs come out truly gorgeous. But you'll also see Joe up on your roof supervising the workers as they repair what's needed. You'll see Joe taking care of your driveway, which now is called a Kool deck and will stay spectacular for years to come. I kid you not, there's nothing that Joe has done for us that hasn't come out beyond our expectations. He's professional, personable, knowledgeable and best of all, he's a Christian. We think he's perfect now and can't imagine how knowledgeable and perfect he will be years to come. Oh, and he's fair in prices and does not take payment until the job is completely done. read more

We worked with Little Joe and his Grandfather Joe. They were very accommodating while we chose our colors and decided on all the options. We had the exterior of our home painted along with the soffit and fascia, and our block wall. The price was more than fair in our opinion. The team we had doing the work was led by a gentleman named Jorge. They were all very nice, professional, and did a great job. Everything was taped off and there was no over spray on anything. There was a pealing problem in a couple spots on a section of the back wall (paint on already painted block) and they came right back out the same day and fixed it. We are very happy with their company. read more

Desert Mesa Painting - This guy ignored my no solicitation sign. Not a good practice. - Painters Near Me - El Mirage, Arizona

Desert Mesa painted the exterior of our house last year. Their bid was the most competitive, so we decided to hire them. Work was marginally satisfactory--they broke a light, lots of overspray and painted rubber door seals instead of taping them to name a few. We figured we got what we paid for. More importantly, they pitched providing a fee for referrals. So, I referred them business that closed several weeks ago. I called Desert Mesa ahead of time before my referral called them to give them a heads up that my referral would be calling. I then called Desert Mesa after the job was completed to find out how I would receive my referral fee, but they reneged on the referral fee giving me unacceptable excuses. The referral fee doesn't move the needle for me, but I hope this review cautions people about doing g business with Desert Mesa. On a scale of 1-10: Workmanship - 4 Character - 0 read more

Phenomenal service and price. Couldn't be happier with the results. About to sell our house and I'm confident it will sell fast with this new look. read more

Joe from Desert Mesa painting approached up about repainting our new home. Desert Mesa had painted the home 15+ years prior. We hired Desert Mesa and were very pleased with the quality of the job, service, and follow thru - completing quickly and professionally I would highly recommend Desert Mesa. read more

They are painting my neighbors house and they painted two others on the same block and they also did some cool deck on another house the work is in the class of a blow and go they put enough paint on to cover it but they don't know how to spray paint and they don't back roll I question the painter about not back rolling and he said it's not necessary so I ask why they charge for it and then not do it. Another painter on site said they are back rolling and I said no there not at that time he got of a roller and started back rolling it looked like a two year old was doing the rolling. I am so tired of these companies ripping people off.One more thing any paint will only cover 400 sq ft per gallon and paint should never be put on if the surface temp is over 90 in any 24 hour time and all coats should be back rolled from top to bottom not all over the wall. Don't use these guys they are hacks read more

Desert Mesa Painting did a great job painting our house. Joe gave us a quote last spring and honored it until February because we are snowbirds. When we were ready they sent out a crew who power washed the walls, repaired the stucco and put on two coats of paint. The crew was very professional, did a very neat job and moved all the outdoor furniture. We were very pleased and would recommend them. read more

We had Desert Mesa paint our home in 2011 and we were so pleased with the job they did. However, this time the outcome was not the same. The price was exactly twice what is was last time but, the Job was sloppy. Here are some of the problems we had. Slider security door not opened and the back side not painted Paint drops on Saltillo tile on porch Paint on metal overhead Paint on screen door on porch slider door Overspray on screen door on porch Back door never opened when painted Porch outlets/ 2 painted and three not painted Front security door stuck and pulled off paint Paint on garage threshold Paint on rocks (never moved from base of home in a number of places) Metal plants pulled loose from their buried base Gap under bedroom window not caulked They came back and fixed some of the problems, but we kept finding more and cleaned up and repaired the rest ourselves. We're still finding overspray. We will look elsewhere the future. Obviously things have changed with This company. read more

We had Desert Mesa painting bid and then paint the exterior of our home, which we then sold. We had them back to bid and then paint the interior of our new home. We were extremely impressed with the both jobs! Joe is dependable, approachable, and has a great team of people with pride in the end product. I highly recommend. read more

I requested a quote, he provided a date and time which I agreed to, but he no-showed. He didn't even notify me that he wouldn't be showing up, he wasted my whole day. Two days later he asks if we can reschedule for next week. read more

We had our cool decking and patio painted by Desert Mesa Painting yesterday and the job they did was amazing! Desert Mesa Painting exceeded my expectations by a long way with the results and the way the cool decking turned out. I was not expecting their attention to detail with the way they sealed around the edges, house and pool, it looks perfect, I love the color we picked and highly recommend Desert Mesa Painting! Thank you! read more

I would never hire them again. Interior paint job they had paint on my indoor furniture, on my outdoor furniture, my statues,my screens. They put back the hardware on my cabinets which were still wet! So guess what happened? Yep, when changed them out, the paint came off. Never hire these peeps! read more

I am thrilled with the way both our interior and exterior painting turned out. The exterior looks so fresh. Poncho and his cousin did the interior and we couldn't have been happier with the job. No drips, spills. Totally professional. The house seems to sparkle! Thank you. Will definitely use them again. read more

What a beautiful, neat and professional painting Poncho and Orlando delivered to our home! They started with an extensive and careful prep, covering the windows and outdoor furniture with plastic and caulking cracks. We especially appreciate their caulking around the windows and expect the house to be cooler this summer. The gates were unlocked and opened (the first time since we've moved in ! :)) and the sills carefully cleaned so that the paint job looks great! They carefully moved portable outdoor furniture out of the way and did a careful job cleaning up. We enjoy the two tones we now have. Their careful masking left great lines for the two colors. Also Poncho gave great advice regarding the top of the house and how far back to apply the darker color. read more

June 13, 2019 Desert Mesa Painting gave us excellent paint job on the exterior of our home. We had gotten three different bids, which we're glad we did, because they weren't the cheapest or the most expensive. They were the most knowledgeable and professional. They explained everything that they would do and what should be done. The other companies never went to that extent. We felt very comfortable choosing Desert Mesa Painting...without any hesitation at all. We are very happy with our experience with them and highly recommend them. Larry S. read more

WOW, our house looks so great now, thanks to Joe and his team at Desert Mesa Painting! The whole process, from prep work to final painting took only 2 days. We are so delighted with the results! Our home now looks so clean and neat and looks "alive" again! read more

They did my whole house outside painting plus my roof. A big job. It was supposed to take 3 days for the painting, and about 1 week for the roof. The painting never got finished. They came back a few times to spot paint where they had missed, and my front door, which was sprayed, they decided to fix those spots with a paint brush and never did it right. They said they'd come back to fix it, but after 4 weeks of constant calling, I gave up and I had to hire someone else to come out and fix it properly. As for my roof, it took longer than expected, and they there were 8 cracked tiles when my handyman inspected it, so then it took them about 3 weeks to replace those 8 tiles, after constant calling and texting. They're very nice people, but not communicative and didn't do the job right on either the first time around. read more

I would highly recommend Desert Mesa Painting. From prep to clean up, the crew was very courteous and professional. I was happy with the quality and outcome of the repainting of our home. I will also use their cool deck application for our driveway. Ellie J Sun City Festival read more

We set up an appointment with George and he never showed up or called. Very bad business practice. .

We had this company 10 yrs ago and they were great. Fast forward 10 yrs and we now need our trim painted. Well I have made 3 calls for a estimate and finally someone called and said he thought he could make that week to do the estimate. Well that was over a week ago and no call back. Won't call them to see what he problem is and won't use them even if they call don't want to keep making the calls. Shouldn't they be calling me?????? read more

All of my concerns about stucco cracks were addressed during the quote process and while the repair & paint work was being done. It was good to learn about the stucco on my house compared to the newer houses being built in my community now. George was able to fit my job in much earlier than I expected, the crew was courteous and did a great job of covering windows, fans, awnings, and furniture. Everything was put back in order before they left. Completed the job quickly. Touch ups were not necessary. The house looks great! read more

Desert Mesa painting fixed cracks in the walls and painted several rooms for us. What a wonderful job they did and the house looks new and current again!! They only took about 1-1/2 days to do this and the price was affordable. I look forward to having them come back and paint the rest of the rooms. Well done, Desert Mesa Painting. ruth b read more

I have had Desert Mesa paint the exterior of my home in Sun City Grand twice--2007 and 2013--and was very happy both times. I just noticed that it's getting to be time for another update, and received a written estimate from them just this week. I'm going to change the color this time, and Joe made some good recommendations about updated choices that have been approved for use in this community. read more

Desert Mesa Painting did an awesome job painting our house! George's crew came to the house when they said they would be there and promptly started prepping our large house. I was worried how long it might take to prep and paint a large house and because it was literally the hottest part of the summer if the guys could get in done in the estimated 2 days. Well thats exactly what they did. The guys had to move back patio furniture and also some potted plants in the front yard. They moved it all very carefully and put it back where they got it from when finished. I'm very picky about paint not being a straight edge or being "off", but it all looked excellent when finished. When they were done in the estimated 2 days, all there debris was completely removed and nothing left behind. I have had other contractors leave quite a mess before so i was happy about that! Overall this upkeep and small investment in the look of my house was a smooth and enjoyable experience thanks to Desert Mesa Painting and i would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! read more

Highly recommended!!! I scheduled a time with George and he came and did a complete walk around and explained exactly what they would do and a good time frame on completion. We went with George because he was straight forward and gave us the best estimate right away, no games. George was patient with us and the HOA approval, once the approval came back he had his crew on scene within 4 days. They caulked every single hole, around all windows and doors, and any crumbling of the stucco whatsoever. The paint job was excellent. He made sure we were completely happy before we settled up on payment. George also had a crew come reseal our pool decking, GREAT WORK! I'm not the type to go on and comment, but George and his crew did an amazing job and just wanted to let everyone else know that Desert Mesa Painting is the way to go and George was very pleasant to work with. Thanks, CJ Surprise area. read more

Desert Mesa painting did a beautiful job painting the exterior of our house as well as resurfacing our garage floor and driveway. The workers were very courteous and careful to keep everything covered when painting. When finished they cleaned up after themselves and left nothing for us to do. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing work done. Joe Watson the owner made regular visits to see me and his team and make sure we were happy with the finished product. Donna R. read more

Painted our 12 year old home and we are extremely pleased. George, the owner/son, was completely accommodating along with his work crew, who were polite, professional, and thorough. The quality of work was excellent and priced fairly. read more

Desert Mesa Painting has painted our home twice. Once in 2011 and just completed it once again in July 2019. Their quality of work is outstanding from start to finish (prepping, power washing, taping, sealing, etc., plus, repairing stucco prior to painting). We were exceptionally pleased with the sealing of all the hairline cracks in the stucco around the windows during the prep. Joe Watson (owner) was especially informative in his explanation of the stages of work, to be performed, during our entire house painting experience. They guarantee their quality of work and the customer must be completely satisfied before Joe considers the job complete. The actual painters were also extremely professional and quality conscious. They were very neat and tidy in the protection of patio furniture, plants, decking etc. We highly recommend Desert Mesa Painting when you require outstanding workmanship and customer satisfaction during and after the completion of the job. read more

Joe is a great guy to work with. They painted the house in one day after power washing the stucco and calking the windows the day before. Not the cheapest in town but good quality work. I believe you get what you pay for. I highly recommend the company. read more
