They really loved up the place and paid great attention to detail. When we wanted something extra done outside the original scope of work, they were very helpful. The house had a lot of holes in the stucco from plumbing repairs. Their stucco work is excellent. The house looks better now than when we originally purchased it. Also, they are very nice people. I highly recommend South Bay Painting.

The building was in bad shape screaming for a long overdue new paint job. Ivan and his team took care of everything from power washing the building, prepped cracked stucco, sanded rain gutters, downspouts/flashing, and extremely rusted railings before priming, then painted everything with two coats. Ivan was always there on the jobsite staying on schedule and provided progress updates. Professional, approachable, promptly returning calls, and respectfully friendly. The team sweep clean the areas by the end of each work day including trash pick-up even when not created by them! Ivan also has resources for window cleaning service and welding for a handrail replacement. Pricing was very reasonable compared to four other bids. Key decision besides pricing was types of paints, paint brand, how many coats.

Challenges others mention with communication, timeliness, attention to detail, etc. we faced, too. If not on a tight timeline or you are good with actively coordinating and following up a lot, you will likely be happy. They also don't work weekends. Our realtor recommended Marcus to have the majority of our townhome interior painted in preparation to sell. He connected us via email on Monday the 16th and spoke about having Marcus come by on Wednesday afternoon to do an estimate. I never heard back from Marcus, but presumed (possibly unfairly) that he would be coming by to do the analysis an hour before our carpet vendor was supposed to come. The time slot came and went, so I called the CertaPro number and got his cell number to call Marcus directly. He said that he totally forgot to put it into his calendar and was very apologetic, then said he was picking up his truck and would head down to our place to be there in about 30 minutes. He did show up later (after the carpet guy had gone), did his analysis and made some good recommendations. The next day we had an invoice to review. I asked some questions in a response and got answers the next day, which included how long the job would take (3-4 days), how soon they could start, etc. I asked a few more questions, and by the 21st I let him know we were ready to start ASAP. After that, we got no response until after I emailed again on the 23rd to see if he missed my original. He noted that he was out of town but would be returning that afternoon. I thanked him for the heads up and waited for him to confirm a start date. Again, we were trying to get things going to put our place on the market to sell, and I was also trying to coordinate a start date with the carpet crew because they needed to wait until the paint had dried before coming. I followed up again on the 25th to get status and he said they could start on that Friday the 27th. In my response, I then asked to confirm that he would be done by Monday evening since he had said the job should take 3-4 days, and scheduled the carpet crew to start on Tuesday given that understanding. No response. I emailed him after that to make sure I could get him a key to our place and we made the exchange (I offered to meet him somewhere, but he kindly came to our new place the evening of the 26th to pick it up). On the 27th he emailed me asking for project status, and I told him that he can start and let him know that the carpet guys would be coming on Tuesday, and asked if that sounded good. No response. On the 29th, I asked for status on the painting and confirmation that they'd finish by Monday evening. I texted him as well, just to be safe. At that point he mentioned that they don't work weekends, so they had only done one day of painting so far. At that point I had to scramble to connect with the carpet company to see if they could reschedule their start to Thursday, and they kindly did so. Marcus's crew continued through Wednesday and the carpet was then installed on Thursday and Friday. Marcus said he would be coming in that Saturday morning to do touchups as needed after the carpet install, which was great because we both knew that there would be some need for that. I went there myself on Saturday the 4th in the morning to pick up a couple of items and see the new paint and carpet, and observed that none of the outlet faceplates had been replaced, there was a dent on the closet door upstairs, there were numerous scuffs, and some things had not been painted. I took a bunch of pictures and then sent an email to Marcus at noon with a list of items and asking him if he was planning on addressing all of those that day. Our realtor also went and saw the same things because he wanted to schedule a photographer, but was concerned that it might not be done in time. Marcus never responded to my text or email, so I texted again on Monday and he said they would be coming over that morning to address the concerns. My realtor started sending photos and reaching out on our behalf as well. After our house was cleaned on the afternoon of the 6th, our realtor went back the next day for a photo session and again some painting was needed and there were still faceplate issues. I reached out to Marcus that day via email and he called me the next day to say he would come back again to do the final touchups before our open house. When I went back weeks later I saw that some plates were still missing, some had no screws, and Ethernet cables had been torn out of the rooms. After all of this the end results for about $2800 were ok, and Marcus is a really nice guy. He did mention he didn't do the final walkthrough because he was out of town, it was a new crew, and the lead on the job was very busy. These are just the challenges that we faced with our experience and hopefully we were an outlier within his customer base.

When we decided to get our house painted before the end of this summer I checked the usually…read moresources. Friends, Angi's list, flyers and other homes I'd seen painted in my area. As we were compiling the list we had a canvasser from Build Pros hit our house so we made an appointment. They failed to show up and rescheduled and failed to show up again, so at this point I wrote them off. I had meetings with 5 other contractors and got quotes on painting the house. Prices ranged from $4500 to $27,600. For regular paint to Life Coat. As we were getting ready to make a decision I got a call from Build Pros asking about if we ever received their quote. I informed them that no one showed up for either appt., so we had no quote. They next day the owner called me and asked for another chance promising to come himself. He kept his word and his team completely examined and measured my house. They offered me what I felt was an exceptional offer on the Cool Life product, more than $7K less than I'd been quoted. I was offered the same 50 year warranty. I took their offer. They job was done in 5 days and they came back to fix any issues I asked about without complaint. I love they look of my house it looks better than I ever remember. The Cool Life has really helped the heat issue for heat on my 2nd floor better than I expected. Though I thought I'd never use them, but I'm very happy with the results and I've recommended them to my family.

It ended up being 3 hours long -- they didn't wrap up the sales talk until I outright said I couldn't listen anymore and had reached my saturation point. They also made sure we would both be there for the sales pitch -- they wasted a lot of our time pulling us away from work. It was exhausting, to say the least. I felt like I was at a timeshare sales convention! The mistake we made was letting them into our home after the roof inspection. Never again -- they used every sales tactic under the sun: a high initial price of $29k for an 800-square-foot-plus-garage basic tract home in Lawndale, then 10 minutes later a so-called discount brought it down to $26k, which I later realized, after reading reviews, was just another sales tactic. My husband then said no, and after their back-and-forth calls with the "boss," they further reduced the price to $19.9k. They then proceeded to call us incessantly that same afternoon and the following day. My husband called the number on their business card to ask them to stop calling, but unfortunately it's not a personal number -- you're just directed to the main line, where you're accosted with more "let's make a deal" pitches. We found the whole process incredibly stressful and would never work with this company after having to go through that. Unfortunately, I can see that many other people have been through the same thing. This company doesn't feel trustworthy after the sales experience, and it appears to be shady AF.

The bathroom looks great now, and you'd honestly never know the wall had been opened up. Alon was super professional throughout the entire process and was always responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Every contractor and worker that came to the house did an excellent job and treated our home with care and respect. Everyone showed up on time, worked hard, and the quality of the work really shows in the final result. After dealing with a pretty stressful home repair, it was a huge relief to work with a team that handled everything from start to finish and made the process smooth for us. We're extremely happy with the outcome and will absolutely use Alon and Gold Star again for bigger future projects. No need to look further. Highly recommend.
