I texted Tim to see if he does deck staining and he immediately replied that he does. We made…read morearrangements for him to come by and size up the job. After doing so, he emailed me a bid for materials and labor. I let him know that I was happy to have him do the work. Tim is a solo act, so we had to wait our turn. I occasionally texted him just to ensure we were still on his radar. Tim was always responsive and when our job was next he let me know. Tim came exactly when he said he would to power wash the deck. He did a thorough and careful job. Tim returned the next day to do the staining. He did a magnificent job. His technique left our deck looking better than it ever has when we or another painter have done the staining. He also carefully applied the stain, protecting our flagstone walkway and house from splatter. My best advice is to plan ahead and call Tim for your painting and staining needs. You may have to wait to get your job done if he has other jobs already in the pipeline, but he is worth the wait. Tim's price was fair, he is a very pleasant person, and he does excellent work.

They've painted the inside of my house, the exterior of my house, stained an outside deck, and even fixed a powder coated aluminum pergola that got scratched during installation and fixed a door that my dog scratched.

I got one bid for sanding and repainting in certain places. Then Tony Machado came to give me a bid. He talked me out of doing any painting. He explained that I should wait a few years, that the issues are minor and won't hurt my old growth redwood siding at all. It's more complicated than this simple explanation, but let's just say that he saved me a load of money and talked himself out of some income. That's a rare, honest worker. I'll surely use the Machado Brothers when the time comes to paint.

Brian is incredibly conscientious and has an outstanding attention to detail. He and his crew were professional, hardworking, and fastidious. They kept the work area clean throughout the entire project. We also appreciated the care Brian and his crew took working around our beloved koi pond -- everything was handled thoughtfully and carefully, and not a single koi was disturbed. Brian's insights and advice during the planning process were extremely valuable and helped us make better decisions along the way. Communication and follow-up were excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that he and his team genuinely cared about the quality of the work, and our satisfaction and convenience. Another huge advantage was Brian's network of other skilled tradespeople, which ended up being very helpful for our project. On top of all that, his pricing was more than reasonable for the level of service and craftsmanship we received. We highly recommend Brian Bellemore and his team to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented and approachable painter who truly takes pride in his work. - Larry and Donna

When we started, we didn't know what colors we wanted to use, but Gregory was there to help us throughout the entire design process, present and creative, suggesting unique details like a wood-look painting technique on closet doors and a special artsy detail on the outside of our house- a beautiful rising sun. Our home is unique and colorful in the best of ways thanks to his consultation and guidance. His team is professional and friendly. Having children around we are always concerned about having professionals in our home who are respectful and trustworthy. His painters are exactly that. If you happen to find Gregory, consider yourself lucky- he's a gem in Santa Cruz!

If you are looking for an exceptional painter, look no further. We have had several homes painted both inside and out and own several rental properties, so we have worked with many painting contractors over the years. Hands down, Gregory and Transformational Color are at the absolute top of any of our future painting needs. Gregory's integrity stood out immediately. Our initial walk-around consultation was in November, and instead of rushing the job in poor weather, he thoughtfully suggested waiting until spring for the best results. True to his word, he proactively followed up in April with a scheduled color meeting and a comprehensive proposal. To be honest, I originally read about his "color session" with some skepticism, thinking it was just a simple meeting to pick colors. It is so much more than that. You have to live with these decisions, so it needs to be a truly considered process. Don't pass up on the opportunity to have Gregory pick your brain about it. It will be worth it, believe me. During our color consultation, he offered fantastic expert advice. We went through several color changes prior to making our final decisions. We actually ended up adding to and modifying the plan twice--once suggested by him and once requested by me--which included changing the color of the downspouts versus the corner boards, and finally changing the rain gutter color and some major panels in the front of the home. These final touches really made the overall job pop! Gregory accommodated all of these changes with absolutely no price increase. He had one fantastic crew member who did an incredible job managing most of the prep work, pressure washing, daily clean-up, and touch-ups. Gregory was personally on-site for all the painting and in constant daily contact with me. He checked in regularly to discuss progress and brainstorm any thoughts or modifications I was considering. Instead of clean up and driving off at the end, Gregory insisted on a 100% touch-up walk-through, giving us plenty of time to live with and experience the workmanship first. The results are flawless! Oh, the neighbors love it also.
