The back of our house was in desperate need of repair/painting before some pictures were taken. I had another company come in and do some stucco repair, but they didn't do any painting. I was ready to hire a couple of his employees "on the side" to do the painting. Friday afternoon I sent out a few requests for quote, and Matthew was Johhnie-on-the-spot with a phone call. He had me take a few pictures and texted back and forth a few times. So, I hired Einstein's Painting, as he said he could have a foreman come out on Saturday to do the rather small job I had. Boy, am I glad I did. Luis was prompt, courteous, and clean. He ended up needing to do a few additional repairs that were overlooked previously, and Matthew was VERY fair about the additional, last minute cost. Luis finished before lunchtime, and everything was beautiful, clean, and perfect. I am so glad Matthew was prompt in replying, as it got done quick, clean, and affordable. I will DEFINITELY be calling Einstein's Painting again for future jobs!! read more

Couldn't be better, beyond all expectations. Would definitely hire again. Matt shows up on time and is reasonably priced. He was also a help choosing colors. read more

I found Einstein's on Thumbtack and he was the first painter to reach out and offer his services. We scheduled a meet-up shortly thereafter. On arrival, Matthew was professional and courteous. He came to our new house for a thorough in person estimate and emailed the quote to me very quickly! Super nice guy. read more

After much research and estimates we chose Einstein as our company to paint the exterior and one interior room. From the estimate to the final walk through they were amazing. Matt is a very friendly and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable with him and his crew. The crew showed up on time or earlier and always cleaned up after themselves. We are very happy with the job the completed and will be using them again in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

This company was great, from start to finish! As you can see from the before and after photos, they drastically helped to improve our house to a home. The crew was professional and on time. They were thorough and courteous. Owner Matthew is professional and personable. He had my trust in him the first day we met for the estimate. Cost is reasonable and the work performed exceeded our expectations. Matthew walked us through all details during the estimate; from prep work to finished product. He communicated and checked in regularly. He also has a strong passion for his company and it shows in his demeanor as well as in the quality of the work performed. We also had them paint an accent wall in our new nursery! The entire experience is one to be shared, which is why we decided to write this review. Go with Matthew and Einstein Painting Company; you'll be thrilled you did! read more

I've made some bad decisions in my life, but hiring Matthew with Einstein's painting was by far the worst decision I've made to date. Upon arriving Matthew provided us with an estimate and promised that his painters would pressure wash our home, scrape, sand and spot prime the flaking paint on the eaves. My wife and I decided to go with Matthew even though his estimate was a little higher than some of the others we had gotten. We were willing to pay a little extra to get a good paint job on the exterior of our home. We even insisted that Matthew use Sherman Williams Duration, which is one of the best paint Sherman Williams has. Matthew said he would but it would be an extra charge which we were fine with. Before the job could start we were instructed to make a down payment of $1300 I had written the check out to Einstein's painting but was told to make it out directly to Matthew Swavely which I thought was a little odd but went ahead and did it anyways. The job was supposed to take approximately 3 to 4 days, on the first day one painter showed up and started working on our home, my wife and I noticed right away that the preparation seem to be lackluster if any at all. My wife had done extensive research on preparation on painting the exterior of your home. The very first item was a complete pressure wash of the home and then it needed to dry before paint could be performed. We noticed at the end of the day there still appeared to be dirt and leaves stuck to our home. When I try to contact Matthew with my concerns his phone went to voicemail. I left him a message and waited for him to call me back. After the painter left the first day at 3:30 I realized why he hadn't pressure washed our home, when I checked the fuel tank of the pressure washer it was completely empty. When Matthew finally called me back the next day and I explain the situation he assured me there would not be an issue because we had used Sherman Williams duration paint and assured us we had a four year warranty if there were any issues with the paint peeling or flaking, our warranty would take care of it. For the next two days we only had one painter working on our home, and again his performance was very mediocre. I had made several calls to Matthew with all of them going to voicemail and him eventually calling me back with the same insurance that we had a four year warranty and there would be no problems with the paint on our home. On the fourth, fifth, and sixth day we did have 2 to 3 painters from time to time but seem like they were doing a rush job to finish. Three weeks after the job was complete we noticed some serious cracking, flaking and the paint was just peeling off in the back of our home, on the side of our home, and in the front of our home. I called Matthew to come out and take a look at it, and when he did, he gave me a song and dance and basically said it was nothing he could do for me. Doing more research in regards to Einstein painting co. The Better Business Bureau has the company classified as out of business. I also realize that Matthew was nothing more than a middleman. The painters don't actually work for Matthew, once you sign a contract with Matthew he subcontracts that job out to a paint company. So the real paint company gets under paid because Matthew needs to take his cut. This would explain the subpar performance on the paint job on our home. The one thing I can say about Matthew is he will promise you the world and deliver use zero. I hate to use the term but Matthew is nothing more than a used car salesman. read more

The workmanship and attention to details are outstanding. Matthew and his crew are a true pleasure to do business with. They are fairly priced, do OUTSTANDING work, and couldn't be more neat and clean. Simply stated, they greatly exceeded our expectations. read more

Called and spoke to Matthew about a first time job quote. He was nice and we chatted through the details. I've now been waiting on a quote for weeks with no response. Look elsewhere for someone more reliable. read more

From the beginning this company was very professional. The owner, Matt Swavely showed up on time and handled himself in a great professional matter. He gave us a bid and the price never changed or had " add ons". The painters were due at my home at 7:00 am Monday to start. They were outside at 6:30 in their work truck waiting on me. I can't tell you how many times I have waited on contractors to show up only to have them be hours late. We were impressed from the start. They took about 5 days to complete the paint job inside and out. I had no issues with any of the painting that was done. They used the best quality paint and matched the color I choose to perfection. Everything was perfect!!! After the job was complete, Matt came back over to make sure everything was done to our liking. I would recommend them and have done so already to all my friends and family!!! read more

Buyer beware is all I can say. I regret hiring these guys. Matthew comes in as the nicest, friendliest guy in the world but once you get beyond the surface it's not so good. We decided to go with them to paint our house because of how nice Matthew came across. We're in Coto de Caza so we have pretty stringent guidelines we have to follow. Matthew promised they did a lot of work in our area and said they know the rules that have to be followed. The guys that showed up were supposed to be his best painters. They were nice guys (a guy named Leo and his partner) but they didn't have anything nice to say about Matthew. I speak spanish so I understood what they were saying even though they didn't realize it. Apparently they are owed money from him (Matthew). Not that its any of my business and that I would normally even care but these guys spent most of the time complaining, not painting and the work showed it. I guess they are subcontractors and had some kind of argument over the last job. We paid a LOT of money for our paint job so I expected a much higher level of professionalism and a great paint job. We ended up having to hire another company to come in to do clean up and touch ups because we couldn't get our job finished. I definitely wouldn't hire Einstein to paint again. I also saw somebody else mentioned something about the coupon they offer. We had the same problem. Seriously, just offer a coupon or don't. I've done a bunch of coupons through yelp, groupon, etc. and never had a problem till these guys. read more

I had done some brief research prior to hiring a qualified paint company for a whole house interior paint for my mom's rental property. After contacting a few, I decided to hire this company based on professionalism and a friendly exchange with Matthew, I'm assuming is the owner. I felt completely confident based on the communication and final result! The entire interior of the house was painted in a swiss coffee color and absolutely transformed this older home! We are definitely using them again for exterior paint and a few upgrades that Matthew opted to help when we're ready. When Matthew and his crew arrived on time, was a huge plus AND, my mother was so pleased with Matthew and his professional attitude.... we look forward to contacting them again in the future. read more

Einsteins Painting Company did such an excellent job painting my Granddaughter's bedroom. This was the best complete painting project I had by a painting company in many years! The completion was swift, neat, with excellent cleanup. Followup by their management, was a smart & excellent way to do business. Would definitely have them return for interior or an exterior job. read more

Professional, responsive, honorable, top quality, reasonably priced are just some of the words I would use to describe Einstein's Painting. I had an emergency painting job (seriously) and Matthew and his team were there the next day, ready to start as soon as I approved the paint. They expertly matched my paint and less than 24 hours later - my problem was solved, my paint beautiful and I was so so happy. Einstein Painting is truly God-sent. read more

Matthew and his team are incredible! They are perfectionists at their trade and still manage to get the job done quickly. Not only did they transform our house from bold blues and mustard yellows to a perfectly neutral palette they also cleaned up the messy and poor crafstmanship other contractors had left behind. We shopped multiple vendors and Matthew was the only one to provide a professional proposal with scope of work. Would absolutely recommend them! read more

Hired Einsteins to power wash the house and touch up a few areas with paint. Matthew quoted an hourly rate and honored it. Crew was 45 minutes late arriving but worked hard, were professional and thorough. When they were done they walked me around to be sure I was happy with everything and addressed any areas we thought could be better. Overall very happy and would hire them again. read more

Matthew is the real deal and his guys are pros. He used his know-how to tell us where we actually really needed to paint in order to get the most bang for our buck. There is no doubt that the quantity and quality of the work exceeded what we paid. We had to have our base boards painted before they were installed by our floor installing and by the time the painted base boards were nailed and glued on by the floor guy, the pristine paint job went out the window. Matthew and his guys noticed this and took it upon themselves to paint the base boards again. That wasn't in our budget, but Matthew did it anyway because he actually cared about how they looked in our house. He has a lot of pride in the work he does and sticks to his promises. I would truly recommend this guy to anyone and everyone. I don't mean to sound overboard, but he is the one vendor that we used in our new house who really delivered what he said he would and more. I wish they were all like Matthew and Einstein painting. No B.S. read more

After getting quotes from other painting companies and not being being satisfied, I came across an ad from Einstein's Painting Company in a local magazine. Matthew was very nice on the phone and able to meet with me the next day for an estimate. I liked his professionalism, expertise and ideas .I needed the work done right away and he had a cancellation to accommodate my schedule. He provided me with a thorough bid along with insurance information. I was hesitant hiring other companies wondering if their workers were employees or just "helpers" for the day. Matthew's workers have been with the company for a long time and are employees. i also liked that Matthew used the paint brand and kind of paint that I had chosen. His crew Noe, Gustavo, Javier and Jorge showed up to work always on time (if not early). They were hard workers and completed the work to my satisfaction. If I saw something that needed attention to, they did the work with pleasure.My house looks so much better with the new painting. I would highly recommend this company to anybody. I have been getting so many compliments on my house! I will definitely be having them back to do more work in the future! Thanks for all your hard work guys!! read more

My wife and I have recently had a lot of work done to the interior of our house. We had the acoustic ceilings scraped and textured, paneling removed and drywall repaired, and new flooring put in throughout the house. The last thing we needed to do was have the entire interior painted. After meeting with a few contractors we chose Einstein's Painting Company. We had read the great reviews this company had on YELP and after meeting Matthew, the owner, were impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge of painting. We also liked the fact that he was very personable and easy to talk to. He made some good suggestions to us concerning color and the type of paint to use and we are very happy with the outcome. His crew, consisting of Jacob and Victor, are very talented painters and were very courteous throughout the whole painting process. They showed up on time every day and worked hard. They gave special attention to our new floors and covered all the floors before painting. They were also very good with communicating with us each day, concerning what they were going to be doing and verifying any specifics before painting. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future. read more
