I wish we could give DJS Painting a positive review because Don and Russell were cordial, the painting was on time, and the work was good. But we ended up feeling misled and with a ceiling color that wasn't what we expected. Specifically, we still had the paint sample card from when our dining room ceiling was painted with Benjamin Moore Cameo White -- which is still available -- and we gave to Russell. But rather than going to Benjamin Moore, they went instead to Sherwin Williams to match it instead. Only after the painting was done did we see that it wasn't a good match. When we raised this with them we were told that "it was the closest" Sherwin Williams could make. When we asked why they didn't use the original Benjamin Moore they told us that "we only use Sherwin Williams" and claimed that they had told us that. They hadn't .There was a reference to Sherwin Williams in the handwritten proposal, but nothing about exclusively. Nor did they tell us when they came back with the paint that it wasn't a true match. They knew it wasn't but didn't show us and simply went ahead and painted the ceiling. We were left to discover the disparity ourselves. Then they weren't willing to go get the correct Benjamin Moore paint and repaint it to our satisfaction. We can only guess that they have a deal with Sherwin Williams. Here's what we found online regarding a painter's ethical responsibility: "While a house painter may express a preference for a specific paint, the homeowner ultimately has the final say on the paint to be used on their property." The bottom line is to be careful with DJS Painting and demand transparency from them. And don't let them leave your house with a check, because your satisfaction is not their ultimate commitment.

Great prices. Super good work. Clean when done. Show up when they say they will. They are not done until you are happy.

DJS painters were great to work with and put in full days work until the job was done. They gave me a start date the was far enough out that it allowed me to get exterior repairs done. The pictures speak for themselves. I highly recommend DJS painting. read more

Overpriced. I actually forgot to write this review a couple of years ago when I had the service done. They sounded quite nice through the phone so I hired them to paint my front door which is average measurements. They charged at the time $670 which I thought it was a bit overpriced but as they were going to remove the other paint and sand it... to my surprise the painter came around and pretty much painted the door over the other colours... I find it a completely scammed and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Awesome job! We had DJS paint the exterior of our house as well as do some stucco repairs. They were very quick and it turned out great! The painters were super nice too! I would definitely want to work with them again. read more

We had the outside of our house painted first and it is wonderful. We get tons of compliments. The crew was efficient and clean and wearing masks. The price was very competitive and better than our other estimates. The service is fantastic and personal, from Jennifer in the office to the owners and the crews. A+ We liked it so much we just had three bedrooms painted by them in just over 2 days. They look amazing! You won't be sorry hiring DJS Painting. Julie and Robert D. read more

DJS Painting is a great local business! I hired them for two separate projects on my house. They have painted half of the inside of my house including dealing with old wall paper! The work was top quality and the service was excellent. They were great about working on exactly what I wanted for the job. The crew was there when they said they would be and were very accommodating with my schedule. They even offer a color consultant. He did a great job helping me with deciding on samples. I like supporting a local business that is run well and provides good service to its customers. DJS Painting provides that service and I would hire them again. They take care of you and make sure its the easiest experience for you possible. read more

From the estimate with Don to the finished product of having our two story home's exterior painted with Russell at the helm, we are very happy campers. Their painting crew was very respectful and had great attention to detail. It was great to be able to trust that all details or possible changes could be accommodated. It only took 6 days to complete painting our two story home and our pergola. Our house looks great, we couldn't be more pleased. You won't regret choosing DJS Painting. They know their stuff! read more

We first had DJS paint our house in San Jose when we were getting ready to sell. They were wonderful and the job was perfect. From the estimate to color consultation to the crew to the final walk through. There was no question that when we needed our new house painted that they would be the ones who we would call. This job was more complicated with half the house being cedar shingles and half being hardiboard siding. The house was three levels with a deck that they also sanded and refinished. They keep you informed, their crew is wonderful and professional and the whole team works to make sure the job is done the way you want. We had neighbors and even the delivery drivers commenting on how great the house looked. read more

I contracted DJS Painting to do a complete paint job on my house and garage, There crew arrived as scheduled. They completed the job including a very through job of clean up early. The quality of work was excellent. A no charge color consultant was provided and was most helpful. Thank you, Ed G. read more

DJS Painting - Painters Near Me - San Jose, California

We are so happy with the interior painting of our townhouse! We had some dark colors and were able to lighten up the house. They did all walls, ceilings, doors and trim and it's like a whole new house! They were able to do it while we were gone and that made it much easier on us. I highly recommend DJS painting! Kristin read more

DJS Paintig was so nice to work with. Their customer service is great from start to finish. They are very communicative throughout the whole process. I live in an apartment and had painted a large tree on a bedroom wall. Before I moved I had to paint it back to the original color. Russell was able to tell the color right away. He and Jerry came over and painted it, within my deadline, without a problem. It was quick and easy to work with them. Plus the outcome was perfect! The color matched and you could not tell I had painted anything on the wall. Highly recommend DJS for any Paintig needs. I will use them again. read more

Donald came out for the estimate within a few days of calling the office wearing a mask and keeping his social distance. Much appreciated. I got the written bid just a day later as promised. Fair pricing. Definitely not the lowest price I received, but you can tell Donald and his employees take pride in their work. I scheduled them a week later, and on the day of, 3 or 4 guys showed up and got to work on a full exterior paint job on a new stucco home. They taped and prepped well, and left no mess when they left. Paint job itself looks great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! read more

DJS painted the exterior of our house, is competitively priced  and backed with a 5 year warranty. We're happy with the results. They were prompt, professional and responsible. 2 years later we needed some wood trim touched up due to weathering. They responded immediately and had this done in one day read more

To DJS Painting a big Thank you for making the exterior painting of my house so easy. A very special Thank you to the guys for doing a excellent job. read more

You can find painters everywhere...Don and Russell are so professional from the start of the bid, to the scheduling of the prep and painting to the finished product...they are not discount painters which you can find anywhere - licensed and bonded professionals that will stand behind ALL their work. read more

We had a great experience w/Don and Russell. We had them repaint our stucco and detailed all trim around window and roof. Quick, detailed, and looks great! Will have them come back and do some interior work! B read more

My husband spent 3-4 weeks getting bids from 8 (yes) different painters. DJS Painting was the very last to come and do a bid, and we feel very fortunate to have found them. Most of the painters we talked to detailed similar steps: · Power-washing · Scraping · Sanding · Caulking · Wood putty · Primer · Paint So why DJS? Several other highly-rated-on-yelp painters gave absolutely outrageous estimates (don't you guys know about homeadvisor.com?). One guy suggested that sanding wasn't necessary (okay, guy). A couple didn't seem nearly as knowledgeable or experienced with the processes and products. Of the 8 companies we talked to, we had 3 good bids and 5 craaap ones. Of the 3 good ones, DJS' was the middle-priced bid - but they seemed to offer the most comprehensive combination of price, professionalism, and experience/knowledge. Uniquely, DJS offers a color consultation and color sampling. Bill is their color consultant; he's a very friendly guy that didn't steer us toward his vision. Instead, he listened to what we wanted and suggested other colors that we may like. After the samples were placed on our house, we actually forewent our original picks that we were so confident in - and chose the colors Bill suggested. Our house's paint was peeling badly from years of baking in the sun. DJS put 5 guys on our project, hand-scraped 3 sides of the house, and put 4 coats of paint on our front door and trim. They unbelievably did all this in ~4 days. The results far exceeded our expectations - and it was a real pleasure doing business with these guys. read more

These guys are super fast, super professional and they did a wonderful job! I hired them to paint our bedroom and, let me just say, it looks AWESOME. I'll definitely be calling them in the near future... We've got more rooms to paint! read more

We called these guys to come out and paint our garage in our new home. The house was built in 2008 and the community never painted the inside of the garages. Don came out and we told him that we wanted the walls to be smooth, as smooth as the walls in the inside of our home. He quoted us 690 to just paint the garage, and 950 to smooth the walls and then paint them. We went with what we wanted - the smooth option. Don sent out his nephew, Thomas, and told him what he thought we wanted. 2 days later he was done and I was not happy. It wasn't what we wanted. It looked like something we could have hired someone outside of home depot to do for $100 a day. Don came out a couple days later and said that this is what we paid for. After a little explaining that we paid for our garage to be smooth, he offered us to just pay the lower quote amount and call it a day. I said no, it's not what we wanted, and we agreed on a new price with a few touch ups, and then call it a day. Don left and Thomas did the touch ups that we asked for, AND more! I am very pleased with how the garage looks now. It seems that the miscommunication was between Don and us. Thomas did a fabulous job and was super nice, but we wanted someone with more expertise to sand down our walls. Don provided excellent customer service and Thomas did great work to touch up his paint job. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Don and his team. DJS did an interior paint job in my newly purchased 1,546 square foot town home with tall ceilings. I'd never hired a painter before, but the process was amazingly smooth and the results were fantastic (I'm still marveling at the paint job.) Here's what made this experience a really positive one and deserving of 5 stars: - At our initial meeting, Don was pleasant, on time, and he was able to adjust the work level to meet my budget. He was also flexible on the price, which was much appreciated. - DJS service comes with a free color consultant who was also on time, very friendly and most importantly, helped me to pick colors for various rooms that I am really happy with. Also, any color I wanted was included in the quoted price. - DJS was able to start work with very little notice (just luck on my part, but much appreciated) and they even were able to start work one day late due to closing delays. - The painters showed up on time, were also friendly, and communication on details throughout the house went very smoothly. - They did great work! The paint throughout is beautiful. I am a designer, so I have an eye for detail and these guys handled things like edges, rounded corners, banisters, and fixtures extremely well. - They finished on time - Don said 2.5 days and that was exactly what it took. (How often do you hear that about a contractor?) - The crew cleaned up very well. there was nothing that I had to pick up or clean myself. Even days later I've noticed almost nothing that I needed to clean up. Overall, this experience was fantastic. The price, the people, the process, and most importantly the results were all great. If you get the same service I did from these guys, you will be very happy. read more

Outstanding customer service! Quick response to my painting inquiry from Robbyn and they were very accommodating that they were very willing to shift their busy schedules to squeeze in my project due to my time crunch. I met Don during the estimate two days after my inquiry and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He broke down everything that needed to be done and was very patient in answering all my questions. Unfortunately I can't use them yet due to budget constraints but I will be definitely calling them back when I am ready for paint my kitchen cabinets! Thanks Robbyn and Don for the awesome customer service, I will be contacting you again in the future! read more

I received quotes from several companies DJS was in the middle of the pack, as far as cost, but offered more for the money. This included a color consultant and pre-painting 4 test colors on the house before we made the final selection. These guys are courteous, on time and do what they say they will do. The quality of work was excellent. Thomas (the owner's nephew) was the lead on our job and works extremely hard. This all comes with a five-year guarantee. Would definitely use them again. read more

DJS Painting has now painted the outside of my house, so I thought I'd update my review. Just like last time, they did fantastic work. It actually took them longer than they had anticipated to prep the house, and didn't increase the cost of the job despite all the extra work. All of their guys were great. They were friendly, showed up when they said they would, and were very professional. They even put up the new mailbox, and house numbers I had bough, once it was all done. The house looks great, and I will call DJS every time I need to have it painted. Inside or outside. read more

Such a nice guy who gave great advice and I felt comfortable having in my home. This is a quality operation and does not cut corners. I ended up painting the room myself because I had a period of time I could not work but, I used the recommendation he put on the quote of using Super Paint and Kilz Primer. Many thanks! read more

I highly recommend DJs Painting service! I give Don Stover an A+. Don runs his company with integrity and professionalism. He says what he does and does what he says. He has a wonderful team to support him. Thomas is trustworthy and friendly. I would recommend DJs Painting to my grandmother. Don stained my concrete patio last year and did it with very short notice so I could have the job completed in time for my birthday party. That was service #1 When I called Don a year later to let him know that the product he used on the patio did not stand up to my expectations, he came to look at it within 2 days. Don agreed that the patio did not meet his standards either. That was service #2 He brought the Representative from Sherwin-Williams to look at it. The rep agreed that the stain may have been a bad batch or just a bad product. Sherwin-Williams agreed to replace the stain. But that left DJs Painting to cover the cost of labor. Don did not blink and eye and immediately sent his trusty team (led by Thomas) to redo the entire job. This included moving all my patio furniture and heavy plants. This is the kind of service that everyone should and does expect! DJS delivers this A+ service. **sad note: The stain still does not meet my expectations so I will have to call DJS again. This time I totally expect Sherwin-Williams - the paint/stain manufacturer to cover the cost of fixing this. I am not sure it is fixable though. I hope to paint my house soon - I am going to use DJS - wouldn't consider any other company! read more

I love my the paint in my house! no messes, no streaks, perfect layers, amazing detail. the workers were accommodating polite and they even triple check to make sure the right color goes on the right wall. (With nine colors this could have gone horribly wrong). They always answered their phone in a reasonable time. I even splattered stain from restraining on of my doors on a little section of new paint and they touched it up without hesitation. They were done on schedule.... (That's a huge thing with contractors these days) They also gave recommendations for our outside lattice work and discount to buy the products. They are a little over average for cost of painting but, you get what you pay for. I will definitely use them again! read more

I worked with DJS on a project in San Jose and they were GREAT! They were there on time everyday, they worked hard to get the project done on schedule and they left the house clean everyday! I will work with them ANYTIME!! Thank you DJS!! read more

i have never go with the first bidder on a home improvement project and the result was fantastic. Our front doors were damaged by years of sun and rain exposure, so we thought we needed to give them a face lift. I picked out DJS Painting from Yelp, and during my first encounter, I found Don is knowledgeable about all aspects of the painting business, is honest and take pride of his work. He explained to me the process of painting the doors and gave me a quote that is very reasonable. The work was going smoothly and Rubin was a pleasant young man, conscientious, hard working and polite. So is the manager Russ. They always leave the work place clean and are very customer-oriented. During the drying period, the wind was blowing hard and some dirt got into the wet paint. Though it's not a noticeable flaw, I mentioned this to Russ, he came back and touch up the spot. Now the doors look perfect and we couldn't be happier. Further prove that they do quality work, I found on the back of their business card, it says DJS offer a 5 year guarantee. The proof is in their work and responsiveness to their customer! Another update I found a scratch on the beautifully painted door 3-months after its finished. I went out to buy a small can of matching paint thinking I could patch it up myself. On second thought, I didn't know how to repair the scratch and didn't want to make the matter worse. I called Russ. He happily said that he will come again to fix it when he is in the area. He came with the original can of paint and quickly patch it up. He allow me to watch so I can fix it if the door gets scratched again. He asked me to keep the paint and I get a new door again! Thanks DJS and Russ, they carried the guarantee to the extreme. I will hire them again when the exterior of my house needs new paint again! read more

These guys did a great job repainting our home. Easy to work with, very responsive and helpful!

The exterior of our house was just painted by DJS Painting and I couldn't be happier with the results. It was such a pleasure to work with every member of the DJS team. From Don, the owner who came out for the bid, Esme, the office manager and Russell who manages the actual painting team- all were professional and provided excellent communication and customer service. But, the actual painting team was fantastic. Manny, Ricardo, and Sergio were our main painters and they were professional, thorough and skilled- a true pleasure to work with. They communicated well and always wanted me to be happy with their work. You can tell they take pride in their jobs. DJS's price was extremely reasonable. The quality of work and detail were exceptional. Thank you DJS for bringing my house back to life and making it such a great experience! read more

We used DJS to paint our home exterior this past summer. Their work exceeded our expectations. They were easy and pleasant to work with and the price was more than fair. I would gladly use DJS again for another job or refer them to a friend. read more

DJS Painting did a fantastic job with our interior and exterior of our home. We sourced 3 bids and they were very competitive in cost. They delivered on exactly what we discussed and in the timeframes we agreed upon. Their detail skills were phenomenal as well. Highly recommend them! read more

We had our exterior completed by DJS and could not be happier. Don and Russell were great but the true stars of the job were the actual workers. Every day they were on time, courteous, thorough, and polite. They answered all of our questions with patience and respect. They worked on a Saturday and you could tell they were actually enjoying their work. Most importantly to me was that the completed project was immaculate. Exactly what we had envisioned and their eye to detail made the 50+ year old home look almost new. I recommend DJS for anyone looking for a company that actually takes pride in doing a job the right way. Great job guys and thank you!!! read more

I still love the paint job, but they left an awful mess. I now need to clean my carpets ( DARK mark spots) there is paint splatter on my glass stove top, bathroom floor and my hardwood floor. While I can clean/fix these I shouldn't have to. I'm a little disappointed in the major lack of clean up. read more

DJS Painting did an amazing job on our Victorian in San Jose. I'm very particular and the whole job went smoothly including amazing prep work (scraping, sanding and patching). They also recommended a reasonably priced carpenter to fix some wood rot before the job started. DJS has great painters and customer service. Whole thing went fast and everything was cleaned up and removed promptly. Great Job! read more

DJS provides amazing customer service, reasonable pricing, and performs excellent work. I am beyond satisfied with the paint job that I hired them for on the exterior of my home and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a painting service. read more

Sorry for delayd review but I wanted to let all know how great it was to work with Don Stover and his team at DJS painting. In July, I decided to have the "popcorn" ceiling or acoustic ceiling removed from my 2000 sq ft townhome. I did my due diligence and got 3 quotes- 2 were just over the phone and Don Stover took the time to come over and look at the job required. His prices were the lowest of the other two. I was impressed with his honesty on the details of what would be involved. They estimated the project would take 4 days. The crew arrived promptly around 8am or 9 am and took the time to tape off and cover the furniture and appliances. They were very accommodating in working around my wife staying upstairs while they worked downstairs. As we were concerned working on the Master bedroom and how we could sleep in that room that night, they adjusted their schedule so it was done early in the am and we were able to sleep that night in the Master bedroom. But with this change in plan, it resulted in a delay by another day costing Don additional manpower and hours. Nonetheless, Don said that it would not be an issue and stood by his original quotation and even had a crew come in on Sunday to complete the job. The touchup on the painting of the ceiling and walls was impressive. The finish and attention to detail was as if was an original project! Lastly, when all of this was completed, included in Don's service is having a cleaning crew wipe, dust off and vacuum the entire house! The cleaning was immaculate and welcomed! I am in sales and I value the motto "the customer first". Indeed working with Don and DJS, that is true. I would not hesitate to call Don and his crew again for any acoustic ceiling removal or paint project in the future. read more

Highly recommend DJS Painting. Don provides excellent customer service. Color consultant, Bill was very helpful. Russell and all the crew were punctual, neat, professional and the outcome was beautiful. You will be very happy with the company. We have completed both small the large projects in our home with DJS. read more

Great job. Courteous, punctual, professional, and friendly. The job they did on our house was great. All of the workers were pleasant and helpful. They answered all my questions, always got back to me quickly, accommodated my schedule. They aren't cheap, but it was a good value for the money, and knowing that corners weren't being cut was important to us. The only minor ding I give them is the cleanup job. I did have to call and ask them to come and clean up the mess after the job was finished. It also would have been nice if they had swept up the walks and patio each afternoon before they left. BUT I feel the cleanup issue was minor in light of the overall job. I highly recommend them. I'd use them again in a minute. read more
