    Wall after heater removal
    Faro F.

    Mike was super quick to respond to my message on here and offered me a quote that was significantly more affordable than any other drywall repair estimates I had received from the bigger companies. And unlike the bigger guys he did not have a lengthy waiting period and offered to come out the next day. After arriving and assessing the work in person he actually lowered his quote by a few bucks and got started. While he worked he was polite and considerate of the fact that my partner and I work from home. Very thoughtful when it came to entering and exiting our home and all around easy to work with. He checked in periodically when necessary and before we knew it the work was completed. We are completely satisfied with the job he did. Be was quick, honest and efficient. The photos i posted are of the largest repair he patched however he did several other which came out just as great if not better. The area was cleaned before he left and it feels like we snapped out fingers and it was just done. Will be hiring him again for future work. Thanks Mike!

    Great experience for drywall repair at our condo, they patched several holes and maxed texture for a reasonable price - will use them again!

Over the years, while walking our dog around the neighborhood, I kept saving the name of the painter I saw working nearby in my phone. When the time finally came, I searched "painter" in my contacts -- and his name came up three different times. That alone said a lot. Clearly, he's well known in the area, and now I understand why. Jason came out and provided us with a very fair quote. Six months later, when we were finally ready to move forward, the price remained exactly the same -- no upselling, no surprises -- just "When can I start?" His crew was polite, respectful, and kept everything clean throughout the job. The quality of their work was excellent, and the house looks fantastic. We recommend Jason without hesitation and will absolutely be calling him again soon to paint the property we just purchased. See you soon!

They showed up on time each day, communicated clearly, and made the whole process easy from start to finish. On top of that the price was fantastic! The house looks amazing. The paint is flawless, the prep work was thorough, and the attention to detail really shows. It completely transformed the exterior and gave everything such a fresh, clean look. We went from early 2000's tan to crisp white and black, very modern. I cannot say enough good things about this team. They truly care about the quality of their work and their customers. I would recommend O-Side Painting to anyone looking for great results and a smooth, stress-free experience.

There's nothing wrong with the paint crew itself: they are hard working and professional. Unfortunately, they are not properly informed by the owner who conveniently forgets to tell them to paint areas included in the estimates, even after collecting the money for the job. The problem is with the owner Frank who, either because of old age or because of too much partying, is neglectful, forgetful and scatter-brained, to the point where four times, I had to bring back the crew because Frank (and no one else) forgot to tell them to do a segment that was included in the contract. And so, I recorded our conversation and took pictures and films of the areas to do last summer only to...come back and find that Frank forgot once again to tell the crew to do a whole side of the house that was left unpainted. Frank called it "miscommunication" even after I showed evidence it was included in our agreement, and said "we'll do it for sure "next time". Problem is, I already paid for a job that was incomplete and, because of Frank's lack of professionalism and consistency, I decided there won't be a "next time", because I'm sure he'll forget again this time and blame it on too much wine or not enough sleep. And what's worse is the insistence to do what was supposed to be done another time when I decide to do another segment, and he'll "throw this last one in too". I now completely veer away from this company, will never use again, and totally advise against using by ANYONE as too many mistakes, too many recalls and too many times did he simply "forget" to tell his crew to do one or other side, or other segment, one or other fascia, one corner etc... I'd rather avoid the headache and the argument and go somewhere else, even though he still owes me for a corner that was included in the previous estimate and bill, that was paid for, but was never completed. I would definitely not recommend this company, end of story. Frank does however, get an A+ at being a BS artist and salesman, not so at being consistent and professional.

Dave and the crew showed up exactly when they said they would, and kept in constant communication with me throughout the process of painting my home. These guys did a beautiful job on painting my home. I did a color change, and I have multiple pop-outs and eves. They were very efficient, had a strong attention to detail, and went above and beyond in making sure that my house looked incredible. Dave, the owner, was easy to contact and stay in touch with. He would provide updates and let me know when they said they would be there--and they were there at those times. If I had a question, he would quickly respond with a substantive answer or give me a call. I appreciated that. Miguel and Medina are a fantastic duo and they worked really hard on the details and ensuring the job came out right. I was very impressed. They are also very friendly with a lot of experience. They've been painting for over 20 years, and their experience shows. The value was there. They were reasonably priced and I think it was fair for both of us. The paint looks beautiful, and I have hired them to do my interior as well. Thank you! En Español: Leí una reseña reciente de una estrella sobre no presentarse para una estimación (en 2019). Tuve la experiencia exactamente opuesta. Dave y el equipo se presentaron exactamente cuando dijeron que lo harían, y mantuvieron una comunicación constante conmigo durante todo el proceso de pintar mi casa. Estos chicos hicieron un trabajo hermoso pintando mi casa. Fueron muy eficientes, prestaron mucha atención a los detalles y se esforzaron al máximo para asegurarse de que mi casa quedara increíble. Dave, el dueño, era fácil de contactar y de mantener en comunicación. Él proporcionaba actualizaciones y me avisaba cuando decían que estarían allí... y efectivamente estaban allí en esos momentos. Si tenía alguna pregunta, respondía rápidamente con una respuesta sustanciosa o me llamaba. Aprecié mucho eso. Miguel y Medina son un dúo fantástico y trabajaron realmente duro en los detalles, asegurándose de que el trabajo quedara perfecto. Quedé muy impresionado. Además, son muy amigables y tienen mucha experiencia. Llevan más de 20 años pintando y se nota su experiencia. El valor estuvo ahí. Tenían un precio razonable y creo que fue justo para ambos. La pintura se ve hermosa y los he contratado también para hacer el interior. ¡Gracias!

Unfortunately, no one showed up at the scheduled time, and I did not receive any call, message, or follow-up to explain or reschedule. I understand that unexpected issues can come up, but completely missing a scheduled appointment without any communication is not acceptable.

Lamentablemente, nadie se presentó a la hora programada y no recibí ninguna llamada, mensaje ni seguimiento para explicar lo sucedido o reprogramar la cita. Entiendo que pueden surgir imprevistos, pero no presentarse a una cita programada sin ninguna comunicación no es aceptable. Como mínimo, una llamada o mensaje de cortesía debería ser estándar. Esto fue frustrante y dejó una mala impresión sobre la confiabilidad y el profesionalismo.
