Juan and Jeff were recommended to us through a few very satisfied neighbors. Working with them was a pleasure. Easy to deal with, great job, done fast and efficiently, reasonable price... What more could we ask for? Will always hire them. Thank you Juan and Jeff! read more

These guys were washing my neighbors house since she was selling it and when they got to the side where my drive way and all my cars were parked they had no regard or decency to ask me to move the cars and not get water and dirt all over it. When we approached to ask why didn't they didn't just ask us to move the cars they said it was "just water" and that they will clean up the cars afterwards. But as soon as they were done they left without cleaning the cars or any notice. I am now left with two dirty cars that were washed the day prior. If I could leave a zero star review I would. These guys are unprofessional, rude, and I can recommend them to anyone. read more

Juan was amazing with his professionalism and service. He showed up on time and gets right to work. He pressure washed our fence and stained the majority of the fence but also painted the 4x4's a different color. The paint job was perfect!! His price was really really good too. He had a team of 3 come out and was done with the job in just two half days for a large fence. Juan, is the type of painter you want. He gets right down too it and if you have any thing you want to change or fix he's happy to do it. No fuss. Thank Juan!!! read more

Rick did a superb job painting my bedroom. He took the time to carefully tape off the baseboards and put paper on the floors. He throughly cleaned up after he was done and was polite throughout. I will definitely use JP Painting again! read more

Juan has done a number of paint jobs for me this year. He is fast and reliable - aways shows up where he said and has been responsive. When I asked him to do something extra he didn't charge me. And he has by far the best pricing of any painter that I have interviewed. And I interviewed a lot before picking him. Having said that - I give 4 stars instead of 5 because he has missed some details in moving quickly. He'll go back and fix them if you ask. He's not perfect - but for the price, he's by far the best I've met. read more

Juan just did a great job for us. Had a very high end painting company paint the back of our house three years ago (western exposure). They painted over all the imperfections. Juan spent days sanding and making everything look like new. Also went the extra mile to "texture" the ceiling in our home office. Great job - will definitely hire him again. read more

Do NOT hire these painters! I am at a loss for words to describe how horrible my experience was with this company. I hired JP to paint the interior of my 800 square foot apartment. The job was done very fast and very sloppy. After two days the Mr. Vento said they were finished and wanted to be paid. They left areas unpainted, areas with only primer on and areas with only one coat so that the previous color shined through. They also trashed the place, left paint on the floor, all over the sinks and the toilet and trash all over the floor. I paid for half the job and said they had to finish before I'd pay the rest. Mr. Vento came to paint the next day. I had a check out for the remaining amount to give him when he finished. When I wasn't looking he stopped working, took the check and walked out, leaving the door open. He did not answer when I called and texted him so I cancelled the check. He then called and asked me to pay him more and I refused until he finished and cleaned up. When they came by the next day I had to take them around and show them where they needed to paint and clean. They would not do anything unless I stood over them and pointed at it. Mr. Vento also suggested that I clean the place up myself because it's "women's work". Finally, before they started I told them that I had one item that was very valuable to me and they should treat very carefully - my grandfather's 100 year old wood rolltop desk. They broke it. I can't possibly say enough about how bad this whole experience was. DO NOT hire these people unless you want a nightmare experience. read more

JP painting is the best painting service out there! Not only does Juan do an excellent job, he is fast, reliable and trust worthy. Juan and his crew painted the entire outside of my house, fixed some wooden stairs leading down the back yard, sanded and stained our deck and painted our hallway/stairway inside the house. Juan was the one who recommended the colors to use both inside and out and everything looks amazing! We couldn't be happier with the quality of work done and his professionalism, all if which come at very fair price! We will defiantly have him do our next project when that time comes. read more

JP Painting was the BEST! They were the first to contact us after our upload request on craftjack.com. Juan called right away, was at the house the next day, we received an estimate that afternoon and painting by 9:00 am the next morning! How's that for service! And the price was amazing. Juan and his team provided all the paint, supplies, and even did a little carpentry work around a window and we couldn't be happier. Our bedroom finally looks "finished" and both bathrooms are finally up to our standards! Thank you Juan and we will definitely contact you again for any painting needs! read more

JP Painting (Juan) has just finished an external painting project with stucco repair in Alameda. We're very with Juan's service and overall quality. Juan always listens to your needs and he's easy to work with. He takes pride in what he does. If there is something to be added during the project, Juan is very understanding and well to work and I have never heard him complained once even sometimes I feel we have too many requests. I'll recommend Juan's service if you want top notch quality work with reasonable cost. If I have another painting project I'll use Juan's service again. read more

This was my first time using Juan and will do so again for any future painting jobs. He was very professional, on time, and efficient with his time. Juan completed a last minute job for me and couldn't be happier with the outcome. I appreciate Juan taking his job seriously and his willingness to get the job done right. This is one painter you can rely on and his prices are AMAZING! read more

Usually, I do not write reviews on yelp. However, I had to give credit when it's due to Juan, his father Mr. Pablo and his Nephew Ricky. This was my first time getting my Home painted it's been 19 years and I was scared and nervous. However, I started screening professional painters and believe me it was not a pretty sight. Some of the painters never returned my call and their prices were outlandish. Until Juan call me to let me know I was next in line to get my Home painted. Truthfully, I was a bit nervous until Juan and his family showed up Monday morning ready to paint and stain my wood in my home it was a total awesome feeling. These gentlemen were punctual, very professional every day getting the job done the right way. By the way, these men went beyond their call of duty painting, staining, and plastering up holes and cracks in my walls. In addition, these gentlemen Moved my furniture around in my home to paint my old home that was built in 1923 (8 rooms) and bought my interior walls back to life. Juan and his family started painting my home on Monday, November 6th finish the entire job on Thursday, November 9th a day before my birthday. Not to mention, Juan and his father fixed my broken kitchen window. In addition, Juan"s father repaired another window that was not properly installed. I prayed and God deliver to me the best painters in the world. Juan and family thanks so much for making it possible for me and my family to live in our beautiful home. I personally, and highly recommend JP painting business to everyone. Plus their prices were very comparable to my budget. Hopefully, JP painting I will see you next year for my exterior painting of my home. Thanks again and May God Bless You All. read more

Juan and his crew, including his dad, were really great. They worked fast. They aimed to please. Juan's dad cracked a few jokes. Juan was very responsive to my calls and e-mails. The quote was very reasonable. Juan came back for a touch up after the work was done. He came over the day after I e-mailed (on a Sunday). If you're looking for an affordable, quality professional I'd recommend JP Painting. read more

I called a bunch of companies in the area ... trying to support local businesses. Juan was quick to reply, come by, give a quote. Most other companies took a long time to return my calls/emails, if ever, and even longer to give me a quote. One company was 5 times the price Juan gave me. He and his guys were quick, friendly, and did a good job, all for a very reasonable price. read more

I had an issue with leaks coming from my roof that were a major concern, which in return has affected the dry wall and paint. JP company and their crew responded promptly, repairing the dry wall and painting... they also did a very good job of moving furniture and preparing the area. thank you JP read more

I wouldn't even give JP Painting one star. I hired JP Painting to paint 2 sides of my house and it was a nightmare. The son of the owner, Juan, had no idea what he was doing and displayed some very unprofessional behavior. He bought a new sander and used what seemed like a grinder, rather than sander attachment. He destroyed the wood siding on my house, sanding out the edges, leaving random scalloped patterns in the wood. He often showed up 3-4 hours late and worked in the dark with only my security light for illumination. One day he brought a large bag of old clothes and dumped it in the gutter three houses down. I gathered the bag, brought it back to my house and asked him the next day why he had done this. At first he denied it and then said his girlfriend (she often hung out in his truck while he worked) did it. Even thought Juan and I agreed that I would pay him as he did the work, he often asked for money before he had put in the work hours. Once, when I gave him a $200 check, he told me that he could change the handwriting on the check to make it look like a $500 check. The icing on the cake was when he dumped his paint cleaning bucket in my front yard. I now have stepping stones and ground cover bark mottled with white paint. When I pointed out to Juan the damage that he had done and that I would no longer work with him, he refused to leave my property and instead, had a yelling match with me. Because of Juan's aggressive behavior, I filed a police report on him after he finally left. read more
