We hired Steve to do some overdue maintenance on both the inside and outside of our home. He did a GREAT job. I've known of Steve's strong reputation for years. He corrected trim problems on roof eves that have been a problem for years. He has a great eye for detail and will do his best to correct problems that may be leftover from other's work. He refinished all of our kitchen cabinets which had noticeable water damage in many panels and drawers. He did a great job of matching color on damaged panels to bring them back to their original color. He has very good workers with him and did a great job keeping the areas clean. He is very easy to work with and communicates well. He takes a lot of pride in his work. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I have used Hoffmire Painting several times at my personal residence and with rental property. I have a always had good results. They are timely in arriving and finishing the job, and I never worry about not being at the property or having people in my house when I am gone. They have a strong knowledge of colors and how to put together different rooms to complement each other. I have used them on exterior and interior painting with equally good results. They are a local small business, Marin natives and thrive on providing a positive customer experience. I intend to continue using them for my painting needs. Bob S. Larkspur read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This guy seemed great when he came to give me a bid. He educated me a lot about paint and what he would do, which is why I chose him over 10 other bids I received even though he was the most expensive. I wanted the job done right so I was willing to spend a bit more for a professional job. Once I awarded him the business, he blew me off each time I called him. I had told him at the beginning we'd be out of the country and unreachable when he did the job so I needed to give him the instructions for everything beforehand. He obviously didn't listen to a word I said, as he couldn't find the key I'd put out and had to break into my house, ruining my window screen in the process. He didn't caulk the crown molding as he said he would; there were spots where the old paint color showed through. Most importantly though, he didn't paint the trim as he said he would. His contract was ambiguous at best so I wound up painting the trim myself, which took 2 days so I could move my furniture into my house. Then when I brought it up to him that it was my understanding he'd paint the trim and I'd like to take something off the final bill, he said NO! Can you believe that? He said he did a lot of extra work (where?), blamed me for my lack of communication about the key and how to get in (what?) when it was right in front of his face the whole time. He came back to do the caulking on the ceiling and when I came back to see what he was doing, he was standing on my baby's mattress in his crib to do the job. He dragged a huge chair across my BRAND NEWLY refinished hardwood floors and left a scratch, and then left all the paint in the room where he touched things up. Then he had the audacity to tell me that this "was a nice little job to keep his guys busy" implying that we meant absolutely nothing to him. This is my brand new home that we just moved into and this guy shows ZERO respect for this fact. I so regret hiring him, I can't even believe it. I would never in a million years want to even see this guy on the street, much less do business with him. read more

We hired Steve to do painting and window bonding maintenance that another contractor dropped the ball on. Not only did he do the job we hired him for, but also refinished our big oak front door, cleaned and protected our outdoor fireplace flue, and fixed broken tiles on our roof. He started work exactly on time everyday and worked for 8-9 hours nonstop. Everything that we asked him to do came out exactly the way we had hoped. Fabulous job, great attitude and we highly recommend him for any kind of construction work you need on your home. There isn't anything he cannot come up with a solution for ! Extremely professional and has a terrific crew working with him. Never had to worry whether he was going to show up, started early and right on time for 4 days ! Powered through the work and it all looks amazing! He also has a great eye for color matching and matched our stucco paint color perfectly, and that was not an easy job. Thanks Steve ! read more

I have used this contractor repeatedly over the last 10 years on my personal and commercial properties. I own a commercial building in San Francisco and continue to use this firm on both the interior and exterior work. His workers always do a nice job accommodating my employees in a busy occupied space. They get in, do the job, keep it clean and get out. I'm pretty picky and I want workers who don't cut corners on prep work. On my personal property I don't ask for a price anymore. I find the rates to be competitive w/ other painters, the billings honest w/ all the detailed backup I want and I can trust the work will be done right. I also like the fact that his men can do minor carpentry, sheetrock or dry-rot repairs w/out calling in another company. Much less expensive that way. Never had a problem w/ call backs or reliability either. When I've had a concern these guys come right back and take care of it. It maybe because I'm a repeat client but they are always willing to make changes or do a little extra w/out hitting me w/ a bunch of nickle and dime change orders. I recently recommended this firm to a client for a difficult waterproofing job on a boiler room that flooded and ruined the floor. The boiler pumps leaked causing the VCT floor to buckle. The space below suffered much sheetrock damage and minor tile damage. These guys were super at scheduling the work, finding the right high tech polyurethane materials for the floor replacement and doing all the water damage repairs below. They made a troubling situation easy for my client. They didn't let me down; the client was very pleased. read more

We just finished a huge project in Belvedere with painter Steve Hoffmire. We called on Steve to work under unbelievable constraints while moving the homeowner of 40 years into a new residence, cleaning, organizing, and disposing of accumulative household goods. Steve really took on the role of a GC. He referred us to contractors (electrical, plumbing, building etc.) all of whom did a fantastic job for us in a very short period of time. The transformation that took place under Steve's care was nothing short of spectacular. I am a Stager and extremely particular about how things look. Steve took great care during the preparation stages and the outcome was beautiful. He continued to return to the job until everything was just right. He and his staff always cleaned up, leaving the space cleaner than the way they found it. Nothing was beyond his scope of work, always going above and beyond to address issues that would not formally fall under the job description of painter. We could not have completed the project with out him. There have been many people through the house and without exception, everyone has commented on the beautiful colors and quality of painting. I would recommend Steve Hoffmire without hesitation. It is extremely rare to find someone as thorough and conscientious as Steve. read more
