Jason and his team did an amazing job painting the entire interior of our home as well as a separate project of all of the exterior trim of our house. His guys are punctual, pay attention to detail and leave the place clean. He uses high quality paint and was easy to discuss the projects with. The job was started and completed on time. read more

We had a weird and awful job painting our old Victorian public areas. Twelve foot high ceilings, ornate plaster and millwork covered in layers of hideously bad drippy peeling paint jobs. A couple of other painters came by, looked at the job, and said that unless we gave them megabucks to scrape and strip and patch for weeks, they wouldn't even guarantee the paint would stay on. Plus, several of them were "Little lady, you don't know anything so we are going to do it our way--ie use cheap, stinky paint b/c that is the only way to go." We are so glad we called Jason based on his Yelp reviews. He came by promptly and immediately spotted a potential problem where the old lathe was staining the plaster in sections of the ceiling that the other painters hadn't noticed. We told him we were on a budget and didn't expect perfection--we just needed habitability. He gave us a very reasonable price within our budget for painting the huge hallway and our front and back parlors and clearly described exactly what he planned to do for that price. It wasn't the cheapest price or the most expensive, but we went with him b/c he was thoughtful and flexible. (He didn't give us any trouble about using Benjamin Moore or Farrow and Ball paint, even though the FB paint in particular is tricky to work with.) We fully expected an average or below average job given our budget price and the poor starting condition of our place (I'm not kidding--it was really bad) but Jason and his crew shocked us with the quality of their work. The house is beautiful now. We were so impressed that we had them paint every other room in the house. And then our kitchen cabinets. And when we have the money, the back of the house....and anything else that ever needs paint. Also, Jason is a really nice guy who is patient and flexible to work with. (He's awfully busy but he takes the time to answer all your stupid questions!) His crew, led by Timeo and Raoul, are also quiet and polite. It is a good sign that they have been with Jason for a long time and like their boss. read more

See all

Jason and his crew did an amazing job on my 1906 Victorian!! Ugh. It was such a mess! I called Jason on a recommendation from my client. I saw her exterior paint job and it was beautiful. My exterior had a lot of dry rot, so I needed quite a bit of carpentry. Jason's Carpenter, Alejandro did a precise restore on all my trim and did some extra things for me inside my house, too! This team did amazing prep work! They paint is so smooth and beautiful! Jason was always reachable and very helpful, throughout. He used high quality paint. Everything was painted with very straight lines. I was on a very tight schedule, because the scaffolding needed to be down the day my tenants had their movers coming. It was tight, but Jason made that happen!! My interior paint was gorgeous! I just rented my house after it being on the market for only two days!! I know the paint job really impressed everyone. Having Jason involved relieved so much stress I had to renovate my place. This is a paint job that will last. Go with Jason! You won't be sorry. read more

J Thrupp Painting - Gorgeous paint job by Jason and Co. in Bernal Heights. - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

We put off some badly-needed interior painting (entry hall, stairs, upstairs hallway, den) for a year after moving into our new house. When we finally bit the bullet, we hired Jason and his crew. Jason gave us a very detailed quote, outlining everything that would be done (moving furniture, cleaning up at the end of each day, etc.) He and his crew were flexible enough to accommodate our schedule and deadline, and the quality of their work is top-notch. Jason also made some great color recommendations that we are extremely happy with. All in all, we had great experience, and I can't recommend J. Thrupp Painting highly enough. read more

I decided to write a review on Yelp because I wasn't sure whether or not Jason was well-known in SF and wanted to support his business. I was very happy to see he already has more than 20 reviews and is very well-regarded. My wife and I share this opinion. Jason painted our apartment in San Francisco and more recently the interior of our 1876 Sausalito home. He did an outstanding job. I have seen painters who are similarly good with respect to detail, but the real value in using Jason is his keen eye for color and other aesthetic choices. In our experience, he will not mess this up which provides great peace of mind. I also found Jason to be well-priced. For our Sausalito apartment we received estimates of 22.5K, 16K, 12K, 8K and 5K. Jason's was the 8K but we chose him because we really trust him; his work turned out amazing. read more

Jason and his team painted my whole place: 7 colors, 5 rooms, 1 long-ass hallway, and a ton of fancy-pants Victorian trim, in 3 days. We walked in at the end of the 3rd long day for his crew, and there's Jason making the rounds, cleaning up the final bits himself. This is unheard of. Even more amazing? The quality of the work was like he spent 3 weeks in there. People come over and talk about how great the walls look. I'm like, check out this cool chair I got on Craigslist, but all they want to talk about is how awesome my paint job is. And it's a really cool chair, so you know the walls look fantastic. read more

I wanted to come back here and give a first-impression review. We were unable to work out a time that worked for our move-in based on Jason and his team being very busy and our move-in window being very short. Jason came by our apartment and walked through the unit, detailing each area and what it would take to do the painting correctly. He double-checked his estimations as well as made sure we were clear about what we wanted. I also learned more about painting in a few minutes-finishes, priming, etching metal surfaces, oil-based versus latex-than I have in twenty-eight years. I'm disappointed we aren't able to work out schedules because Jason was very polite, professional, clearly was an actual painter, and really seemed to know his stuff. He also mentioned a few in his painting crew had been with him for 10+ years, which shows longevity and building a trustworthy team. So first-impression? Five stars. Can't speak to the work but in the future I hope I can. read more

Jason has been our painter for the last seven years and we couldn't be happier with all of the work he's done for us. Over the years, Jason and his crew have painted the exterior of our home and several rooms. We also use them to stain our deck every couple of years since we're in the West Portal fog belt. Jason's guys are always meticulous and efficient. More importantly, Jason is a great guy to work with. He's honest, he works hard, and he's a pleasure to be around. We were lucky to find Jason when we moved back to the city and we highly recommend him for any painting needs. read more

We recently had our entire interior repainted by J Thrupp Painting. Jason and his team are excellent. They do beautiful work at a reasonable price; on time and within budget. Their prep work was meticulous - including repair of a small section of bathroom wall with water damage. Jason's team is professional, punctual, and they even did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. read more

I have never actually met or spoke to Jason. He was hired by an intermediary to repaint my condo that was leased for 18 months to a family including a teenage boy and large dog. He was given a tall task and a short time frame. I was lucky twice: I never physically saw the damage (although photos depict a significant amount) and I returned to a meticulously repainted home. He must have miniatures who get behind built-ins which abutt the walls, he must have talented workers who care about the quality of their work, he must have meticulous attention to detail, he must have a significant reputation because he deserves it. Many painters have been here and none have left me so thoroughly satisfied. Many thanks and kudos to your workers. read more

Jason and his crew were referred by another painter and I am SO glad I chose him. They literally transformed a 1900 cottage I recently purchased into a brand new home. They worked tirelessly on the inside for a week straight getting it ready for me to move in; sanding everything down, filling all of the wood, installing new lights and hardware. They are now finishing the exterior and I'm sure the value of my place just went up expenentionally. The best part is that this entire job was so affordable and I even used top quality Benjamin Moore paint. I highly recommend them to anyone needing small or big jobs. The other great part is that his crew are the nicest guys and very hard workers who take pride in their work. They will be the ONLY painters I hire from now on. read more

My first ever review but this one is really warranted. Jason and his team has just completed painting our place. Not only he has attention to detail and a perfectionist at his job but he went above and beyond to clean up the messy job left behind by the previous painter. Jason was on time from the very first day (evaluation to provide us with a quote) to the very last day. The whole project was completed on time. Jason listens to his client and shares expert recommendation. Our HOA is very strict but even the HOA said Jason and his team did a fantastic job. Overall a trusted, easy going professional. read more

I don't write many reviews, but I am writing this one because Jason and his team are excellent. There is a reason why he has so many 5-star reviews: His work is excellent, reasonably priced, done on time, and within budget. He and his team are polite, courteous, and helpful. I have used other painting companies in the past and then had to spend days hounding them to fix mistakes. Jason Thrupp Painting is the polar opposite of that experience. That's why I will definitely use him again. read more

Jason was great to work with. I needed to have some interior work done, including some finicky cabinets. His bid was competitive with the other 2 that I got and I'm happy I went with Jason. The work was high-quality and he was easy-going yet professional. I'd hire him in the future. read more

A few weeks ago, three contractors visited my home to provide estimates to repaint two bedrooms and a living room. Jason Thrupp was the last scheduled, and wound up quoting a price that was slightly higher than that offered by the other contractors. I still hired him without hesitation, partly because of a perfectionistic streak I detected in his manner - he acted like someone who would finish when the rooms were really ready, and not just when a contractual obligation had been filled - and partly because of what he wore: A sweatshirt, sporting many paint stains. The other estimators hailed from top rated companies, but I doubted I would see them in person once I signed off on the job. Jason readily admitted that he runs a small company, and would do a lot of the painting himself. And this he did, with the capable help of his assistant, Raul. How good a job did they do? I'm not a professional painter, and can't judge work as a professional would. But as a home owner, I'm entirely pleased. My guess about Jason's perfectionist streak was accurate. He wound up painting considerably *more* than was in his estimate - at no expense to me -- simply because he decided once the job was underway that the rooms really wouldn't look right if the extra work weren't done. He acted as if he were painting the rooms of a house he planned to live in himself. I suspect he approaches most jobs that way. Two more +s: he's an exceptionally nice fellow, and did a great clean-up job, too. Recommended. If I need a painter again, I'll likely call Jason. read more

I can't recommend Jason and his crew enough. After meeting with several prospective painters, Jason may not have been the cheapest estimate (ot excessively more expensive than others) but I knew instantly that he was fair and ethical and had an eye for design. Not only was Jason patient with my color indecision, he actually mixed custom paint to meet my specifications. I'm thrilled with the outcome (he painted the exterior of my SF home - front and back - as well as several interior rooms) and have already referred him to several people. read more

We bought a hundred year old house that had been sorely neglected for what seemed like decades; it needed major attention. We started small, painting a few key parts of the interior and using Jason because he was recommended by our real estate agent, reasonable and available on short notice. We were skeptical, but were blown away by the work. He did such a great job - including some tricky bits that came out beautifully - that we hired him to do the entire exterior as well. The key? Prep, prep, prep. Jason and his team spent most of the time filling, sanding, and generally cleaning up the surfaces. They turned a dusty old pile into a showpiece. The team was on time, kept things neat and clean and worked quickly. Jason himself is a stickler for detail and attends closely to the work. We couldn't be happier and recommend him highly. read more

i located jason on yelp and so glad i did! he is a real pro. ~ always on time, on budget, works hard, great crew, clean up was great. i'm a real stickler and he beat MY expectations! read more

I hired Jason after interviewing five highly rated SF painters. Jason impressed me by his perfectionism, professionalism and obvious expertise. His competitive prices didn't hurt either... He walked through my "original charm" condo and pointed out all the places that would require extra prep work. This was clearly not to upsell us on more work, but to demonstrate what was necessary to get the job done right - something he clearly values. I was stunned by the speed and skill with which his crew got our place done (including working 13-hour days through the weekend), and it now looks like it should be featured in one of those fancy design magazine. I've worked with several vendors to get our condo ready for move-in, and Jason was the single best hire we made. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

As a business owner myself i tend to measure painters/contractors as peers. I'm pretty tough on what they promise, how they manage expectations, and the quality of the final result. Jay is top notch in every one of my ratings...He's simple/smart, totally transparent about helping you identify and figure out the best possible work for your job, and he actually does try to save you time and money when it's clear that he can. Put simply, he's the vendor/painter we all wish we could find when we need great work, an honest viewpoint, and a totally reliable end result. This is the guy you call....nobody else I talked to compared... My input: Be honest. respectful and normal with him and he'll do amazing work for you above and beyond your expectations....I'd suggest him for any job, yet I know he's the guy I'd hire for the important jobs you want done really well on target, on budget, on quality.... Thx - Charley read more

This one's a good Yelp story. I found Jason on Yelp, and am very glad I did, so I'm passing the word on back through Yelp. He painted my office, did an outstanding job at a reasonable price, and he was even willing to do it on the weekend so as to minimize disruption of the office work. He was easy to work with, showed up on time every time, and his crew was respectful of the office environment. He came back for a walkthrough to see that we were happy with the work before he asked to get paid. Overall he seemed like a nice, honest guy. I'll for sure be using him next time I need something painted. read more

I chose Jason's company based on the stellar Yelp reviews below. However, I cannot recommend his company for several reasons. We recently hired him for a job to paint the interior of our house. However, the quality of work was subpar. There was sticky stringy residue all over our bedroom walls as well as drips through out our home (on the futon mattress, on the light fixtures, on the trims, on the newly refinished floor). There was more of the stringy stuff in another room but because the walls were already textured they are less noticeable but present. When he came to examine our concerns, he said some were old...which I could I see, but others were clearly drips matching the new paint color. One good thing - an extra star - was that he did come into fix the stringy fuzz on one of our rooms but still left a new streaky drip where he fixed it. Although in our email conversations, he gave the impression that he would be using Benjamin Moore in matte (he wrote that's he "usually uses BM", he ended up using Sherwin Williams satin throughout. He also charged us extra for 5 extra coats that he had to use to cover up some of existing color on the walls, but when I spoke to another friend who also recently had work done on her place, their painting contractor said that seemed highly unusual. And that it would only take max 3 coats. (Her wall was a dark sage green, which she painted a shade of white and ours was a very light baby blue and a light gray, which we painted white). It may have had to do with the paint or primer he used; Jason did say he noticed a problem with that and that he did contact the paint company directly about the paint quality which he thought seemed off. Jason seems like a nice, personable guy, but I think you need to be very careful in what you agree to verbally and have everything document everything in the contract. And double check the final invoice, he added a $1000 more than what he initially quoted us and on top of that added $1000 for the additional 5 coats and patching. There were a few red flags we ignored...in that we tried to meet up with him again to get new estimates (there were two holes discovered that needed to be patched up that weren't noted in the initial estimate but he said it would not be necessary. We should have gotten an exact pricing and probably a more detailed outline of costs. Definitely learned our newbie lesson into the world of home improvement. Overall, if you need something done quick and fast he may be your guy (he did keep to his 1 week time line), but otherwise If you want quality, detailed professional work, I'd look elsewhere. read more

Jason and his team are superstars. He painted the inside of our Victorian house and took great care to get the job done right with great attention to detail. He used high-quality paint that was low VOC because we have a young child. His prices are extremely fair--and Jason is just a great, honest guy! I had him come back for a second job to paint our stairs and am going to call him again when we redo our kitchen soon. read more

The best decision we made during our house remodel. Jason and his team are fantastic. We had three layers of wallpaper that they removed. They did an incredible job repairing the lathe and plaster walls, and they even made the wood trim look new. Their attention to detail is phenomenal. I would recommend them for any painting project. And we're about to hire Jason to paint the exterior of our house. read more

Jason and team did an excellent job re-painting our new rental apartment. Not only did the paint look fantastic, but the place was spotless after they left. They were able to do the job very quickly, on short notice and for a reasonable price. Moreover Jason was onsite working the entire time which I very much appreciated (not a sub-contractor!). He is extremely professional, trustworthy and a joy to work with. If we ever have another painting project, we won't hesitate to call J Thrupp Painting. read more

jason is an honest guy to work with. he gave me his word on the price and even though we asked him to do some additional work, he stayed very close to the original price quoted. side note: we just bought a house two months ago and it's been a pretty harrowing experience because there are a lot of dishonest people out there. but oh, jason is a breath of fresh air. he's friendly, hard working, a perfectionist, and his word is bond. he also gave me great advice on our colors and was very patient about the whole process - i appreciated that he was careful to input his opinion - the only time he gave his advice is when i asked for it. in the end, we took his advice and we couldn't be happier with the job. our new home is bright and beautiful thanks to jason and sergio. highly recommend!! read more

Jason is a pleasure to work with. In any paint job the prep work is the key to quality and he puts in the effort to make sure the finished product is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. He is reliable and leaves the site clean each day. I highly recommend him. read more

Jason is awesome! We needed our living/dining room, upstairs hallway and family room done, ceilings and all. Our living/dining room was an icky blue/sage color and looked totally unfinished. Jason and his team completely transformed the room! It's absolutely gorgeous. The family room just needed touch ups and the crown molding painted--perfect job. The hallway looks great as well. Jason is a total perfectionist, and will go the extra mile for a quality job--all while keeping his pricing very reasonable. In our dining area, for example, there was a missing piece of baseboard that we figured we'd get to sometime. In order for the room to get his blessing, he actually installed a new baseboard piece so the room would have a finished look. He also has a great eye for design as well. I wanted to do a gray color and after testing a few shades, Jason suggested something completely different -- a caramel color (which I wouldn't have thought of). We went with it, and the living/dining room looks fantastic! So with Jason, you not only get an expert painter, but someone with a keen eye for design as well. Overall, we're extremely happy and would use his company again in a heartbeat! read more

Jason painted my 40 foot high, all-four-sides, frilly Victorian house like it was a walk in the park. This was a 7 color job, with mountains of detail. 80 percent of the time was spent on prep work. Once that was over, the paint went on very quickly. They were on time every day, honest, courteous, amusing-- and Jason is hands-on with his crew. He even decided to come by a few days after they were done to touch something up himself. Now people stop on the street and point up at the house. That never happened before! Oh, and his price was amazingly reasonable! read more

J Thrupp painting just painted the exterior of our house. The very positive reviews already written are absolutely right. Jason is professional, thoughtful, honest and responsive. His crew is responsible, respectful, hard working, and very good. The prep work is very extensive, and the final product looks great. Highly recommend. read more

Jason was pleasant and very helpful with helping me select paint colors which is why I chose him. The painting job was decent. For that he deserves 4 stars. However, I have to remove 3 stars due to broken promises of work to be included with the original price, and a vent cover removed but not put back. When I reminded him of the broken promises, he said at first he did not say it. I pressed him and then he gave me excuses why someone else should do it and not him. He claimed the vent cover was not removed by him, but he was the only one with keys to the premises. As well, the vent would have to be removed for the painters to easily paint the area. Jason then asked for extra money from me to have this done if I wanted. I would hate to say it is sexism since I am a single woman property owner, but one can only guess. I have other painting jobs I need done. Next time, I will select someone else. Other women may want to do the same. read more
