Jamie comes off as genuine and trustworthy, but it became apparent quickly that something was off when multiple of his team came to me during the job because he wasn't paying. I confronted Jamie and he assured me he would get his team paid, but also asked for more money for the job. Even though I worked with Jamie to help him and gave him more money for the job, multiple team members walked off the job and were either not paid at all or half paid. After the job was finished Jamie owed me a deposit of $1000 for another job that was not started. He has not answered any of my calls or texts to return the money. It is extremely disappointing to see someone take advantage of clients and staff that are trying to help. Do not trust Jamie or Maverick Painting. read more

Horrible experience for multiple reasons. Doubled price. One coat stead of 2. Did not back roll most places which cost $2000 more. Watered down paint. Painted in the rain to get money. Tried to intimidate me. I have now paid over $1,000 to fix the mess he left us. Lazy, unreliable, bully, scary!!! read more

Beware - read reviews...Horrible horrible experience. Painters, who are no longer working for him were great, yet were not paid after painting 90% of our home. He left my home in shambles with trash everywhere, large areas undone, used an old dilapidated paint sprayer that dripped all over my concrete, and doubled his quote. He was a bully yet played the victim. Just writing this to save you the agony. read more

Danger homeowners. Jamie Waller (Maverick Painting) neglected to finish our house painting, then claimed that we did not pay him (we did pay him and we have the receipts to prove it). He was consistently dishonest and unreliable. We have initiated legal action. Recommend avoiding this contractor. read more

Our neighbors highly recommended Maverick Painting after Maverick painted both the outside and interior of their home. It looks really beautiful. So we hired Maverick Painting for our interior painting work, and we are overjoyed that we did!!! Our home has been transformed! Jamie Waller, the Maverick Painting owner, gave us excellent, knowledgeable and personable consultation on all of our painting projects including kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, entertainment center, hallway built in cabinets, and stairway railing. He also connected us with an excellent color consultant, Kim Hutton, who helped us immensely too. Jamie has a great team working for him with Josh and Aldo doing expert painting, detail and touch up work. We highly recommend Maverick Painting. read more

I am still waiting for Jaime to pay me the $300 he owes me. He originally owed me $500. I had to cancel service after my brother died and Jamie refused to return my deposit. He gave me plenty of excuses: his business is failing, he's getting a divorce. After lots of discussion he finally gave me $200; but stated- "I can't give you what I don't have " Please do not trust this man. read more

Individual driving your truck on 05/09/20 around 11:50 am in Escondido (Center City Parkway by the Better Buzz) was not very nice. He drove the wrong way and has the nerve to to get angry and flip everybody off. Not the way you want to market your business. It's unfortunate that people represent their business this way. read more

Jamie and his team were professional, friendly, prompt, neat, attentive to detail and our house looks amazing! read more

Mavericks painted our house exterior and did great job in all regards. They did the job in a timely manner, answered all our questions and responded to requests in a professional manner. And the best part - the quality of their work was outstanding. Highly recommend. read more

Let me preface this review by saying the actual painters that work at Maverick Painting are good people. Chris, the superintendent is fantastic. The owner of the company, Jamie, has NO idea what good customer service is about. His approach is "one and done", getting paid and making a quick exit. We hired Maverick Painting to paint our two story home, as one part of several parts to our exterior yard remodel which included about 2000sf of special order pavers. As part of the painting process the paint crew taped masking paper to the new pavers to prevent drips from getting on the pavers. They were very careful not to get paint on the pavers; again Chris is a good guy. After the painting was completed, they removed the masking paper and tape as part of their clean-up. A few days later we noticed that glue from the painters tape started showing up as dust stuck to the glue. I contacted Jamie and told him what had happened and asked that he send someone back to clean up the glue because we needed to seal the pavers, and couldn't do so with the tape glue on it. His response was..."Gonna be a while. He is in the middle of job. Sorry." He then went on to say the company sealing the pavers should clean the glue because they have to clean the pavers anyway. Basically saying the other company should figure out how to clean the mess that his company created. He then stopped replying to my texts even though I told him I would file a complaint with the BBB. He truly doesn't care about the job once he gets paid. As another reviewer stated, good luck trying to get them to come back to fix something. Their website specifically states "Unlike large paint companies and national chain companies, Jamie is on-site at every job. Most local contractors just drop off materials to a crew and only return to collect a check.", which is hilarious as you'll see from the attached screen shot of a text conversation between us. Essentially, he sent me a text asking me to give a progress payment check to the superintendent, which I readily did, only to have Jamie stop by get the check from the Superintendent and leave. He never checked in with us, even though we had discussed meeting with him at some point to discuss accent paint options. I never saw him on site during our two week project, and I work from home so I definitely would have seen him walking around and checking things out. He cares about getting the job and collecting a check. Jamie is the contractor with a crappy attitude who acts like he's doing you a favor by painting your house. Do yourself a favor, you paint our house once every 20 years, make it an enjoyable experience and memory. There are much better paint companies out there. read more

Well two jobs later- decently done paint jobs and needing some correspondence and contact with him and no answer. I have tried for over a month calling left 2 messages and 4 texts and complete avoidance. Have no idea why, but follow up correspondence is extremely important after a job and Jaime doesn't feel it is. read more

Maverick Painting - Painters Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We had Maverick Painting paint our house in January 2014. Overall, I am highly satisfied. The owner, Jamie, came every day to our house when his crew was working, personally buying and dropping off the materials. This was key in our getting the correct color on our house. The color which I ordered ended up being too light. Based on conversations between Jamie and myself, he realized this. He and I went to the paint store together and were able to convert the paint from the color I ordered to the color that I really wanted. If it were any other contractor my house would be a color that I really didn't want. Overall, my house looks great, the crew is courteous, the price was less expensive than other bids, and Jamie paid attention to details resulting in my getting exactly what I wanted. read more

Jamie & his crew were the ultimate professionals; courteous, on time, thorough, informative, friendly, and did a fantastic job for a fair price. He even went so far as to correct imperfections left by the last painters in areas he wasn't even asked to paint! He knew of techniques another painter didn't, like how drywall splatters are water based and can usually be wiped down quite easily. He chose to have his crew roll the paint on our ceilings to insure best quality instead of spraying (which another painter was going to do). Even his more labor intense job was the lesser of the bids. He takes great pride in his work and was present multiple times every day unlike the previous company we'd used where he only came back to collect payment at the end. We intend on using Maverick Painting for all our future painting needs. read more

Jamie is a rock star not only when it comes to painting, but coming through in the clutch. I was referred to Jamie through a friend and I wasn't disappointed. I live up in Los Angeles (a couple of hours from Jamie) and needed a painter for a project in the 11th hour as my painter called out sick. Jamie, was up at my place personally that day and stayed all day and night (leaving at midnight) to make sure the job was completed. Not only was the job done beyond my standards, but Jamie was extremely reasonable in price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Jamie and his crew were fantastic! We called quite a few painters to quote our interior paint job and Jaime quickly rose above the pack. He was prompt in every fashion, reasonably priced, and helpful with recommendations and advice. We will use Maverick when we are ready to paint the exterior of our home! read more

Jamie and his crew take a enormous amount of pride in the quality of the work they do, and it shows in their work product. I've always received first class, personalized service as well, and with the great experiences I've had, never look any further when it comes to hiring a painter. read more

We just had our house painted by Maverick Painting and we are beyond pleased. The painters were professional, friendly and easy to talk to. The owner, Jamie walked us through every part of the process so there were no surprises and not one issue! I will absolutely recommend this company for a job well done! read more

Maverick Painting did a fantastic job on our Encinitas home. The team worked efficiently and the men were courteous and cleaned up every day. I strongly recommend this company. Sorry - I was in a rush to catch a plane when I hurriedly dashed out the review and forgot to give 5 stars. These guys deserve 10 stars! read more

Jamie had the most input when coming by to bid on the job. His bid came in just under all others and the attention to detail is what sold us. Well I'm glad we went with Maverick as not only is Jamie great, his crew is polite, professional and very thorough. We love the outcome and since are having him come back for the interior. Also we were so impressed with Jamie and his crew, we referred him and two of our neighbors have had their houses painted by Maverick as well. Don't go anywhere else, Maverick is the paint company everyone should use!!! read more

They did a painting job for me back in 2016. I haven't had the chance to do the review. Jamie and his crew are amazing. :) One of the best professional service that I have received in a very long time. I am very grateful and honored to have found such an amazing painting company that does 100% of an amazing job. :) read more

It's been a few years since Maverick Painting did some work us. I've tried numerous times to reach them for repair and maintenance work. Don't rely on these guys if you need them to come back. read more

Jaime appears to be a nice enough guy and his team of painters work hard and are professional, but his follow through and workmanship was lower then expected, especially when considering that I paid $2K more than the next highest bidder to have my interior patched up and painted. Although he claims that there is a 3 year warranty, don't expect follow through after you make your final payment. When my paint job started only one guy showed up and he explained he was short staffed. This lasted for several days and then another person finally showed up to assist. This delayed completion of the job an additional week. Also, we did a complete walk through for the bid and he knew the condition of the house when putting in the bid but once the job started and I paid my deposit he later recommended that I skip trowel my ceiling for additional money. My confusion here is why didn't this come up when he did the first walk through and why was it not included in my initial bid? Answer is simple, he wanted the business and recommended it after he was 75% complete with my house, which left me with little choice but to accept the nickel and dime tactics. Also, in the final days of work with a skeleton crew his painters were showing signs of fatigue and in the last day, which was a Friday, they were scrambling to get the job done. I wasn't pressuring them, as I wanted the job done right, but it appears Jaime was. I get a call Friday evening from work that Jaime would like to do the final walk through, but here is the catch. He kept his worn out 2 man crew there to witness the walk through which put pressure on me to rush through the house and I could see that my payment was necessary to get them paid for the weekend. Long story short, I gave Jaime my final payment trusting that if anything was wrong he would honor his warranty. Well I contacted him and he told me several weeks ago he would send someone over, which hasn't happened. There were several areas of the house where cracks were supposedly patched that began to show through immediately, where paint was unevenly applied, where paint was not applied at all, places where patch work was needed but was just painted over. Bottom line, I chose Maverick because of the Yelp reviews and paid a premium assuming I would get better quality service. This in my opinion did not materialize and I feel that I over paid for rushed work. read more

We used Maverick Painting to freshen up our office space in Solana Beach - Jamie and his team were so kind, professional and did a wonderful job! We will definitely be calling them again and highly recommend them!! read more

Whole crew came and painted the entire interior of the larger-than-average one-story house and completed the job days earlier than estimated. Jamie is a perfectionist and catches not just the details you think of but many many more (like caulking seams and getting paint shades just right for our ceiling inset). Our "new" home was 10 years old and thanks to Maverick Painting, it looks no different than a brand new model home by the ritzy builders down the road! Jamie does work on high-end gazillionaires and local homeowners like us and treats us no differently from the gazillionaires. Highly recommend and will continue to use Maverick Painting for exteriors and interiors of any home we own (our primary or our rental). They are the best quality and the best value in town! THANK YOU JAMIE!!!! read more

They delivered quality work, my husband and I are very happy, especially this being the first home for my husband and I. Jaime does a great job describing the process of painting and his team completed the job a couple of days early. However, he is somewhat difficult to work with and while I respect that he did not want to deliver on services he felt he could not complete, I do not respect him first stating he can do it and then going back and forth about it. Unfortunately, we never had our doors painted as was originally planned and worst was that he scratched some of the doors to demonstrate that they were painted poorly by the previous owners, so now I am left with scratches on my doors :( read more

Among the bids that we received, these were the most reasonable for the amount of work required. I am very punctual person, and really appreciated that they showed up when they said they would. My walls look beautiful. read more

Our kids attended the same elementary school and we thought Jaime was a decent guy, so we didn't check reviews or get others opinions. Mistake...His workers were good but he didn't spend even one hour at our house total during the job. He didn't do a walk through and consequently left some cabinet hinges unpainted, left all the trash from paint prep which said in his contract they haul away. The worst of his job was that he stained a wooden gate for us that came out a horrible orange color he said he could match to our front door. Then he claimed his work was done. I don't know but if it was my company and my work I would make it right. He argued with us over getting the stain right until we decided it wasn't worth it to have him around. I would definitely not recommend his company and his lack of consciousness. read more

Just had my 3 story town home completed by Jamie and his crew. This was my first time using a professional company to do painting. I had several bids and I felt comfortable with Jamie and the price of the bid. I ended up having to leave town and was anxious since I was not home. Jamie stayed in contact with me and sent pics to my phone so I could see the process. When I got home they were way ahead of schedule and stayed late on two days to get it done early! Jamie came by each day to review progress which was great. His crew has been amazing. Very courteous and professional. They were very patient with my dogs. In the end I am thrilled with the work and it looks amazing. I will turn to Maverick for all my painting needs in the future. read more

This review is overdue and should have been posted a few months ago, I apologize for not being timely. Contracted with Maverick to paint the exterior of my house. Generally, the crew did a good job painting both stucco and wood. There was a paint color mistake made, but it was resolved. There were several cracked roof tiles as a result of the job that they claimed was not their fault. After a roofer inspected the broken tiles, it was obvious that the tiles were recently cracked and damaged. Jamie made it right and replaced/installed the tiles using a roofer. I respect Jamie and his company because he did the right thing in the end - he is a good guy. read more

My wife found these guys and they painted the entire interior of our house. They completed the job while we traveled over the holidays and we returned home to the beautiful job they did. Straight, clean lines, patched/repaired all holes/cracks...honestly feels like a new house. Very pleased with the work and would highly recommend! read more

Jamie and his crew were great. We couldn't have asked for better. From the initial get go to the completion of the work, Jamie was an absolute professional. Always on time, extremely courteous and committed to the work. The paint job itself was done beautifully, clean lines, uniform sheen, no patches or bumps. They even cleaned up the baseboards to give it a clean finish. His crew were so mindful, that they made sure to remove the masking on the stairs between work days so that I wouldn't trip and fall (I am 8 months pregnant). It is these small things that make a big difference. We didn't need to move the furniture, they did it themselves, and put everything back in place after completing the job. They also finished ahead of time!! Thanks to Jamie and his crew for a wonderful job! We will definitely call Maverick Painting for our next paint project and refer him to our friends! read more

Jamie and his crew were top notch! His estimate was very fair and he was quick to respond. They painted my house in less than 4 days and everything looks great! Thank you. read more

If you're looking for a painter, Look No More. You have found the best. Jamie and his team did a fabulous job on my house. From start to finish, I was overly happy with Maverick Painting. They are prompt, courteous, professional, clean and outstanding painters. My house is 34 years old and looks brand new since they painted it. I will never search for a painter again. Maverick Painting is Great! read more

I have used Maverick painting twice now. Inside and now, outside. Jamie and his crew are meticulous with details and are thoughtful and detailed oriented with their painting. Nothing is forgotten or neglected. I appreciate how Jamie follows up and makes sure his client is happy. I highly recommend Maverick Painting. They are top notch. These days it's not easy to find people who take such pride in their profession like Jamie and his crew. read more

Overall a positive experience with Jamie and his 2 man crew that completed our exterior house painting project which included stucco/wood fascia, wrought iron, and wood trellises. Initial response when looking for an estimate was immediate and his bid was very competitive. After the contract was signed and deposit given communication became harder. Initial projected date for job start was 2-3 weeks from deposit but they did not start until 7 weeks later. The delay was not the issue, it was more the lack of communication and explanation that was frustrating. The whole project turned out great but I learned on final walk through that he did not use the super paint I requested (again, communication breakdown). Jamie did stop by the house everyday to talk to his crew and expects professional results from his workers. They did an extra bit of painting at the last minute on some window frames that was not in the original bid without complaint or cost. Chris and George were easy to work with, neat and polite. I would recommend Maverick Painting; their work is quality. read more

We used Maverick Painting to paint the exterior of our house about a year ago. Sorry Jaime, just getting to write a review now. We really enjoyed working with Jaime and his crew. My husband and I are young home owners. We bought a fixer so we have had a lot of businesses give us home estimates for a variety of services and many people assume that since we're young, we're dumb and can be easily taken advantage of. Jaime treated us with complete respect, had fair prices and did as he said. I would highly recommend his services. Our house still looks great! read more

We just completed our exterior paint job with Maverick Painting and are enormously pleased with the outcome. From getting the estimate to evaluating the progress mid way through to the final walk around, Jamie and his crew were courteous, professional, efficient and very accessible. Jamie was very knowledgeable and offered suggestions about how to approach areas that needed cosmetic repairs. The workers were also exceptional; they arrived on time, were organized, and cleaned up at the end of the work day, plus they did a great job prepping and painting. We highly recommend Maverick Painting and will do so by word of mouth as well! read more

Jamie and his crew were great. We had our exterior painted, front door stained, and interior work done. His bid was very reasonable and he was extremely thorough explaining the process. His team showed up on time every day and completed the project on schedule and as promised. Moreover, Jamie is a very nice person, a family man, and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. read more

Jamie's crew did a great job on our two story house in Cardiff. The crew power washed and re-stained all the exterior wood eaves, fascia, under hangs, wall caps, stair rails, and pergola. Great job masking and protecting stucco exterior and walkways. They showed up every day on time and always cleaned up before they left. They were always very quiet and courteous. Jamie's bid was very competitive, and he came by several times to make sure the job was being done to his satisfaction and mine. Overall, a great experience. read more

A very profession outfit. Everything done extremely well and on time despite blustery and at times rainy weather.
