Mel and his crew did a fantastic job painting all the interior walls and trim of our house. Mel was easy to communicate and work with. His crew is professional, hardworking, and attentive to details. Where I was really impressed by Mel is how well he handled feedback. I think we were particularly picky clients when it came to the details of the job but Mel was always happy and willing to fix any nits we pointed out no matter how small. This really showed that Mel stood by the quality of his team's craftsmanship and I know I'll be going to them for any future painting needs. read more

They charge a lot for little work. The quality is very bad. I had to hire another company (which cost a lot less) to cover their problems. I can't believe they got good reviews. Don't recommend this painter. read more

This review is on the service I received while corresponding with Mel C. after I sent in a quote request via Yelp. My quote was a request for paint removal on a door and his response was "I'm booked for this time." Firstly, I didn't even request a specific time, I'd put "timing is flexible" based on the options provided. So I responded and asked him how he could be booked for this time if I didn't request a specific time. He responded with "We're booked for the next 3 months Just saying." (Adding a screenshot of the conversation). It's great that he's busy and booked out but would it hurt to be a little polite and just say that he's booked for the next three months but if I'm interested in a future date, he'd be happy to reconnect? I didn't mind waiting because I'm not in a rush but this is definitely not the service I'd expect from a five star business. read more

KCG Painting - Painters Near Me

I am so glad that I find Mel to do my painting project. Throughout, he is always very patient, responsive, flexible and understanding. He accommodated all my requests with very reasonable quote. Sorry I didn't get his team's name, the two brothers are very nice and hard working fellow. After the first coat, I discovered the paint selected for the living room was too pinkish, Mel and his team graciously agreed for me to change the color on spot. I can't think any better example of how far these folks willing to go for customer satisfaction. The quality of work is great, I am a happy customer and will return for any further needs. Thank you Mel and KCG painting! read more

*Note this work actually took place in 2019, I'm just getting around to a review now! I hired Mel from KCG to paint a full room that was two different shades of teal. I had a tight timeline as I was getting shelves installed a week or so later. Quote: Mel responded very quickly and gave me an estimate on the room. Once we decided on the final details we made an appointment and got set up. Day of: Mel and one other painter took a good look at the room, helped remove a mounting that was there, prepped the room and even went to get additional paint and provided the receipt. There were also a few paint splatters on the hardwood floor from previous owners and Mel pointed it out, which is great, because if he hadn't, of course I would have thought maybe he made a mistake. In addition to the room painting, the closet was also painted and it was quite a bit rough: it had some sort of child's wax crayon something and it was very tough to get out. He did a great job though and it looked brand new, all done in one day. Mel also had another appointment, so he let me know they were going to break for lunch and gave me the precise time they would both return (him from the other job and the associate from lunch). Talk about accurate: they both came back within 5 minutes of each other, Mel really doesn't play! The room turned out beautifully and now that I'm ready to refocus on the house, I'm definitely going to book KCG to paint the other parts of the house as well. read more

We hired Mel to paint level 5 smooth wall. We found there are lots of imperfections in the drywall and our drywall contractor kept giving us excuses and delays. Mel and his team went ahead to fix most of them and painted everything in 3 days. We are very happy with the outcome given smooth wall is a difficult job. Thanks Mel and the team. read more

Mel and his crew did a very good job painting the exterior of our entire house. The attention to detail on colors was really good because the HOA required the same colors. Mel also agreed to use Sherwin Williams paint as I requested. I called Mel back to paint the interior of my home. read more

5 stars from start to finish!  Mel responded to my request promptly and showed up on time for his estimate appointment for my exterior house painting job. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and gave a very fair price for the work.  Mel was also very accomodating to go the extra miles in many repair details that my project needed.  His workers showed up on time and did an excellent and professional job.  My experiences with Mel have been wonderful and I will definitely work with him again for future work.  Look no further for a professional painting company! I highly recommend Mel and his team at KCG for all painting projects. read more

Mel's quote for painting our house exterior was a bit higher than a competitor's, but we decided to go with him anyway because of a glowing review from a neighbor. It was worth a little extra to me, to have that extra peace of mind that the company was so reputable. The paint crew arrived on time every day, and worked all the way over Thanksgiving without taking any time off. The work quality was excellent, with them periodically checking in with me for any feedback about how they were handling the work. We have several security cameras around the exterior of our house, and although I offered to take them down for the duration of the work, they instead chose to mask the cameras every morning, then uncover them again before they left each day - their logic being that that way we maintained security coverage throughout. A small detail for sure, but emblematic of the attention to customer satisfaction that these guys displayed. They were also very understanding and helpful, about working around some obstacles - e.g. some very heavy concrete planters that we couldn't move out of the way. Again, small details, but it's how those little things are handled that can make one company stand out from others. A job well done. read more

We had Mel, from KCG out to give a quote back in March of 2020 to paint several rooms, all needing texture and some serious attention after 50 year old wall paper had been peeled off! Then Covid hit!!! Mel was so patient as we needed to postpone our project until it was safe. He kept in touch throughout the year making sure we knew he would be ready when we were! Finally we were able to start and he was able to fit us in his busy schedule with a short waiting period! We wanted to add border to all the rooms...No problem...wanted to add external touch up paint...No problem. Mel and his team of professionals were prompt, efficient, clean, fair and super detailed. They got this very big job done in record time!!! I can not say enough good things and would recommend this company to anyone! Thanks Mel and team! Sherry and daughter, Janine! read more

They went above and beyond. Quick estimate and finished exterior painting + deck staining in 6.5 days. Fixed minor things too. Fair price for a high quality work. read more

Pros: Quick quote, reasonable price, flexible with timing, paint looks pretty good, the guys were very nice, the owner was able to help me figure out what the best sheen was for different rooms. Cons: did not finish on time and did not communicate regarding delays. I had to move all of my stuff into the living room because the rest of the condo had not been painted, even though I regularly checked in and reminded the owner about the move in date to confirm everything would be ready. The workers mostly spoke Spanish, which is not my first language but we got by. One of the bathroom doors was quickly chipped so I will have to touch that up. In fairness the contractors were also delayed so that added complications to being able to paint with no fuss, but the lack of communication was what killed me and led to a delay I did not expect and a very stressful move in read more

If you want your house painted to perfection...and have it look 10 years younger and fresher, then KCG Painting is the company for you.

Got our interior and exterior home painted (walls, ceilings, trim, doors, fireplace and staircase railing). These guys are 10 stars on all aspects - skill level, quality of work, care taken to ensure wooden floors are in tact, on time completion of work, reasonably priced. Mel and his team are awesome and I highly recommend KCG painting read more

We are very impressed by the KCG Painting Company and highly recommend them. We contracted with them to paint the exterior of our home. They came out and gave us a reasonable estimate on the painting the exterior of the house, the fence, the garage and our out back garden shed. We had a lot of shrubs and plants surrounding our home and detached garage. We were changing the color scheme if our 57 year old home so there were more details to attend to with this project. The team that was assigned to our project was very detailed and thorough in every aspect of the project. The painting crew was so awesome! They did more than we expected with prepping the walls, to get it ready for paint, the actual painting and in the way they handled the entire project in such a timely manner. I have hired numerous painting crews but I will be recommending Mel's team for any exterior painting project. Mel even helped me out with doing a last minute extra painting project in the kitchen--he had his crew texture and paint my ceiling in the kitchen I was renovating. After the painters were done, we were so pleased. The whole process was quick, professional and the results were fantastic. They listened to our needs and delivered. read more

This review is about 8 months overdue... Hired Mel earlier this year to paint all of our new interior doors, front doors, and door trims around the whole house. This was an after-hours job and his guys were super fast and a did a great job. They unmounted all the doors, painted them, re-mounted them, and within 2 days, I had all new painted doors throughout my house. I was amazed at the balance of speed and quality. Prices were reasonable, and Mel is very responsive. Will definitely call them again for my painting needs. read more

What truly sets apart KCG Painting and Mel's team from the competition is their honesty, responsiveness, professionalism, competence, and thoughtfulness in getting my home repainting project done on time at a fair price. The whole team involved (Mel, Andres, Martin, et al.) always arrive on time, work efficiently, demonstrate skill in their prep work and in addressing minor dry rot repairs, and clean up at the end of each day. I am impressed by the fabulous results and my home looks brand new! KCG Painting has more than earned my business and my highest recommendation. I also greatly appreciate Mel's attention to detail and his going above and beyond to making sure that his client is happy. Painting is all about the details and KCG Painting has successfully gotten it done for me. Kudos. read more

I needed to get my house painted so I got quotes from a few different companies. Of the people who were properly licensed, KCG had the best pricing. They were able to repair the cracks we had in the Stucco as well as touch up areas that was missing stucco. We had KCG Painting paint the exterior of our house as well as a bedroom and a couple of closets. They were also willing to build a couple of EasyCloset custom closets for me even though they normally don't do it. Everything turned out great! Additionally, they cleaned up after themselves. All in all, would highly recommend them. read more

So I was very impressed with the response; and the start of the job. Things started off well on Monday and I had high hopes that there would be no problems. From Monday to Thursday I had two concerns; 1. the workers kept leaving their garbage (water bottles, Jack in the box cups) in the yard, on Tuesday evening I placed a small garbage can in the front, but still had to clean up after them. 2. When they started working in the front on the second story, they hit the Dish for the cable, the first time it interrupted the programming but the cable came back on. Then on their last day while working on the ladder on the second story, they completely knocked out the cable. My daughter's window is located right where the cable Dish is located, and saw the ladder go up and then notice the cable go out. I was not home at the time, but she called me explained what happened and I called Mel. Mel apparently spoke to his workers and they said they didn't do anything. Nothing like customer service with these guys. Those two words went out the window. Later, after several telephone and text messages exchanges Mel finally agreed that his guys 'MAY' have accidently hit the Dish. REALLy!! So, we couldn't get anyone out until Monday to fix the cable. If you hire this company my advise: take pictures close up photos of the house, around the windows and garage. My last two issues with the finished job, there were paint drippings around the front window frames, which Mel and his workers said they didn't cause, which I totally disagree. I had photos of the front windows and I could see there were no drippings. Lastly, there were paint smudges on the garage door, the same color as the new paint, OH.. Mel taking his workers word, said it was from the garage door rubbing again the top of the wood. SMH. There are no scrape marks on the door, nothing like that. You would think if the garage door was rubbing when opened there would be some kind of markings on it, but apparently I didn't know what I'm talking about. So, Mel had his guy come out do the clean up work and what do you know, after he cleaned off the garage, there have been no paint smudges on the door since. Since my paint job I have three neighbors that are painting their houses, and no I did not recommend these guys. Mel said he would compensate for the damage for our cable Dish... I've seen nothing. Good luck..be sure to place a trash bin in the front and back. read more

Mel and KCG painting were awesome. We contracted with them for a large project...painting our home interior and exterior, plus porch paint on the sunroom and laundry concrete floor as well as epoxy painted the garage concrete floor. Mel was great to work with! We had some particularities on how we wanted things done and he was very flexible and made the entire job run smoothly and efficiently. We spoke to many painters and KCG was not the most expensive, neither the least expensive. When it comes to doing the job right, you really have to look at experience, pictures and reviews. There is a saying..."The cheap becomes expensive"...so, don't waist money on cheap jobs because you will need to fix sub par work in the near future. The work that KCG did was detailed and really done to perfection and I expect that our home's paint will look great and last for the next 15-20 years. They cleaned up every day after working 8 hours on the project. The workers were easy to communicate with and if there were any issues Mel was on top of it and things were resolved quickly. I highly recommend KCG painting and Mel was awesome to work with! I would say, do not hesitate to hire them...they are the real deal! read more

Awesome job by KCG Painting . Mel's team finished my exterior and interior paint job in 4 days with top notch quality. Mel was able to meet my high expectations of quality, timeline and was easy to communicate to as well. His foreman was also wonderful and very responsive to feedback. Thanks Mel. Everyone who sees the work praises it for high quality :). read more

From the first call through the final walk through, Mel was easy and pleasant to work with. Mel and his team painted the entire interior of our home, replaced baseboards, and patched up drywall. He is professional, punctual, responsive, and made the whole process easy. He was reasonably priced (not the lowest of the quotes but far from the highest), and the work his team did was meticulous. And they were done ahead of schedule! The team onsite was friendly, hardworking, and professional. We are delighted with how our home turned out. I highly recommend KCG Painting! read more

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews, I wish Mel and his team could do all the work on our house. His crew was professional, dedicated and worked hard to complete the job in the scheduled time. We had been hesitant to repaint the exterior of our house because of cost. Do NOT hesitate to call KCG! They were massively less than MB Jessee... I knew I was in trouble when MB Jessee showed up in a car with advertising all over the car and a person with an iPad.... Mel showed up to do the quote the same day we contacted him. Him and another person walked the house, asked a couple questions and gave us a great quote that same night. We got 3 other quotes that couldn't even compete! Also, I contacted Mel after the job because I noticed a broken sprinkler head, Mel did not hesitate. It was replaced the next day by noon. KCG has earned my business for any future painting projects and I would absolutely refer him to anyone needing a great painter. read more

Mel was amazing!! I contacted him last Wednesday to paint my 3 bedrooms house and it's completed today. He is very responsible and has great communication. My house looks great now!! There are still couple spots that we want him to complete later, and he is so nice and agrees to come back later time to finish it up!! I cannot wait for my house to complete repainted!! Highly recommend his company!! read more

We contacted Mel after almost 2 years for exterior painting of our house. His team arrived promptly and did a very neat, professional job. They also worked on minor repairs like fixing the vents, spouts, etc. and replacing damaged wood in the exterior of the house. Would definitely recommend Mel's team, and reach back to him for our future projects too.. read more

Mel & this team did a great job. Started and finished on time as promised. Mel checked in with his crew on site and resolved any issues quickly. Completed full interior paint, including doors, .... His team worked around tenants that were occupying the home. I would hire him again. Great work read more

KCG did excellent and professional work in my store. As a business, it is imperative that we have top quality work since the appearance of our facilities reflect on our brand. I am happy to say that Mel upheld the highest standard of quality. His team was both very fast and very clean. I know where to turn to next time I have a major paint job that needs to be done right. I highly recommend KCG Painting. read more

Very professional, punctual and responsive. Their work was clean and neat. I highly recommend! Great job!

Five stars all the way. Extremely professional and dedicated to customer satisfaction. Painted my house inside and outside, stained the deck and painted the garage interior. Couldn't be happier, with their work and the competitive price. Thanks guys. read more

Mel and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our house. The job was pretty difficult with lots of details - the house was built in the 1960's and the previous owners lived there for 30 years and hadn't updated - so we had to remove lots of old wallpaper and mirrored walls. His crew ended up having to replace some old drywall and repair lots of damaged drywall, and they still managed to finish on schedule. The finished paint job looks fantastic! Mel was also very easy to work with. He was professional, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the project. I would not hesitate to work with him again for future painting and drywall projects! read more

Would give more stars if possible. Mel and his team worked reliable, efficient and considerate. They painted the interior of a 2 story, 3 bedroom house with high ceilings while we were staying there. 3 people worked from 8 to 4 for 5 days, the estimated time frame, to get it done. They were professional and well organized. We moved everything into the middle of the room, they covered and taped it well. We had the floors done recently but there was not a speckle of paint to find when they removed it after they were done. Whatever extra minor touch ups we'd asked for they did promptly and even swept the garage where they had stored some material before they left. Definitely recommend Mel and his team. read more

Hire this team without a doubt! Mel is a thorough professional. Mel is always to willing to help. His prices are fair and quality of work is excellent. He started and finished our project on time. He was able to take our project and make timing adjustments to accommodate us under short notice. His team followed all covid protocols. They covered all the our new floors well before painting. He also painted all our kitchen & bathroom cabinets and our stair balusters. Unlike other contractors, he visited our site every day and treated his team well. We started off with just a painting project and ended up doing much work that we intended to do. That just sums it all! read more

Great experience working with Mel at KCG Painting. Super responsive, came in and got the job done fast, efficient, and very professional. Highly recommend! read more

No so reliable. They will say one price and give you a more expensive invoice later. Quality of work not that good. Not recommended.

Mel and his team came in to paint the entire interior of a house we just bought. He was able to come out on very short notice and get the job done in less time than he'd originally estimated. He was super responsive, professional, and reasonably priced. Whoever had done the renovations on the house did a terrible job finishing, leaving nail holes and gaps all over the trim, but Mel and team were able to fix it up so that everything came out smooth and beautiful! The house looks fantastic and I can't wait to move in, thanks to KCG Painting! I will definitely be calling them again when I'm ready to paint the exterior someday. read more

KCG Painting - Nice smooth walls and trim! I should've taken a before to show just how big of a difference there was, but I didn't. Oh well. :P - Painters Near Me
