Modamas did a great job painting the front of our house. They have very good attention to detail and are very easy to interact with.

We first discovered Modamas when searching for a company that does top notch painting of our beautiful San Francisco Victorians. Please see that review. Today's problem was a little different. The interior hand rail leading to the second floor was wobbly. It isn't easy finding parts for such an old building but it was easy finding someone at Modamas that has the expertise to make these new parts fit in nicely with the existing parts. Norberth Tomas is FANTASTIC. He is pleasant, on time and we LOVE how well his work blends. Even though it is a "common area", he protected our carpeted stairs with a drop cloth and wore booties. He carefully and expertly did what he needed to do. Best thing was hooking up with Modamus. They have top notch employees able to meet any challenge you might have. Thank you Norberth. read more

They had to do some unexpected cleanup work (and we weren't the people that had hired them). They were prompt and professional in their work and communication. They did a great job. Thanks Nelson and crew! read more

Five stars! These guys are awesome. They did a very thorough job, didn't take any short cuts, communicated well every day, managed to keep the neighbors happy and the house looks great! We would definitely use them again to paint our house in SF. read more

Modamas completed a project this October (2022) to repair and paint the street-facing side of our HOA's 22-unit building in San Francisco. The project was managed by Raleigh; he oversaw all aspects, including the inspection, cleaning, repairs, painting, and coordination with the neighbors for access to their property. He made the project flow smoothly and was extremely easy to work with. You can tell he's very experienced because he thought of every detail and never dropped the ball. Our building has wood siding and garage doors that needed repairs, as well as repainting. Other parts that were repainted included stucco surfaces, metal railings, and front doors. We needed soffit vents under the bay windows replaced and address numbers on the front doors replaced. The project also required trimming of a tree that was touching the building. Modamas performed all of these jobs with perfection. Everything was done with great attention to detail, e.g., covering the windows before cleaning. I gave the building a careful examination immediately after completion and then a month later. Everything looks amazing. There is no bubbling. The wood siding, stucco surfaces, metal railing, front doors, garage doors, trim, and soffit vents all look fantastic. Thanks to Raleigh and the Modamas crew, it was actually a pleasant painting project. It couldn't have gone better. I will strongly lobby our HOA to rehire Modamas for future projects. read more

i recommend Modamas Painting without reservation! As others have mentioned, they're not inexpensive, but they do top quality work. The exterior of our 155 year old Victorian was recently painted by Raleigh and his amazing crew. Throughout every aspect of our project, we were very impressed with their service, responsiveness, and professionalism. Raleigh's pleasant personality made him a pleasure to work with. In addition to all their qualities mentioned, the crew worked quietly and were extremely neat. At each work day's end, they cleaned their equipment elsewhere, and swept the area. They arrived on time every morning, and stuck with our project until completed. (So many contractors begin a project, then disappear, leaving clients wondering when it will be finished). Raleigh stayed in constant communication with us, sending daily updates and photos. He was also very responsive to any tweaks or changes we wanted. Beyond just painting, the crew inspected every inch of the exterior to address any wood rot, rust, or repairs that needed attention. We felt this was an extra benefit to hiring Modamas, as it informed us about the condition of our house, as well as saved us from having to find additional contractors. (Most contractors are not interested in small projects, such as replacing a small piece of wood). This was our second project with Modamas and Raleigh. They painted our interior 5 years ago, and we were totally satisfied. When it came time to paint the exterior, we didn't waste time getting bids from other contractors. We knew Modamas' price would be reasonable, given their attention to detail. There was no question who we were going to call. read more

These guys are great! When I signed up with Modamas in January of 2020, who knew we would be confronting a pandemic? Regardless, Peter, John, Jeff and crew did a great job. My building is big, with walls on four sides, and I have three tenants to keep happy. Modamas worked with me on color schemes and repairs, and ran the whole job from beginning to end, safely and efficiently. They even helped me find a contractor to fix a whole wall of bad stucco! When the pandemic lockdown occurred, a previous contractor had cut an "exploratory" hole in the stucco, perhaps 8 feet long, and it was about to rain. Modamas sent guys up there to cover the hole with plastic, keeping things dry until workplace restrictions settled down and we could find someone to replace the wall. Modamas isn't the cheapest outfit around. That's OK. Some people would rather not pay $1 for a good job when they can get a pretty good job for 98¢. That's a false economy, IMO. If you want the job done well, and done right, Modamas is worth every dime! read more

Norberth and his team at Modamas recently completed a project on the entryway and facade of my 115+ Victorian home - I'm delighted with the outcome and happily recommend them to others! The project required both exterior painting and carpentry for structural repairs and reinforcement to the stairs and landing; as a mechanical engineer myself (but certainly no carpenter!) I was particularly concerned about the design and execution of the carpentry work, and vetted several organizations carefully. Norberth and Modamas stood apart from the rest with their prompt and clear communication during the scoping and quoting process and the detail of their proposal, during which Norberth worked directly with me to understand and thoroughly answer my structural concerns. Their quote did come in a little higher than competitors, but their attention to detail and communication gave me the confidence to select them, and I'm glad I did. Norberth and his team proved themselves to be reliable with no need to chase schedules, were friendly and respectful on-site, completed the full scope of work within the estimated time period, and daily left their workspace clean and presentable which was highly appreciated by my family and neighbors. I particularly appreciated that as the project proceeded, Norberth proactively identified a few areas where the actual labor need was less than estimated in the original scope, and adjusted the final invoice down accordingly. This helped further strengthen my feeling of trust for him and the Modamas crew and they will be my first call for any similar projects in future. read more

We hired Modamas to paint our facade and repair any dry rot as needed, and they did an excellent job! We wanted the paint to match our existing siding and they nailed it. We also wanted a second trim color and trusted them to use it appropriately. The result was perfect. They were very responsive to our questions and requests throughout the process. I would use them again and recommend them to others without hesitation. read more

We ended up going with Modamas for my exterior house painting refresh after reading all the reviews and felt it'd be worth the extra cost to use these guys if it stood up to high quality and workmanship. We had a good experience - they handled the prep well with minimal disruption and seemed efficient all the way through. All looked great at the end and for the total cost (over 10k), I thought well worth it IF the paint held up for at least 5-7 years. Well I am not even a year in and the front steps have started to peel and the nails rust since likely month 6. Super disappointing. read more

Our home in the Castro district was in dire need for a complete restoration and paint job for all 4 exterior sides. After much research, we decided on Modamas due to their reputation and quality of work. Especially for old homes in San Francisco. Our expectations were surpassed. Raleigh (our project manager) was by far one of the top contractors I've worked with across the board. Starting with communication, every day we would receive a full debrief on what work occurred on that day with pictures. The craftsmanship was exceptional. Very clean and well organized. Our home has completely transformed and feels literally brand new. Thank you Raleigh for such exceptional work. A true masterpiece of art! read more

We're very happy we hired Modamas to paint the exterior of our house. It was a decent sized job and Modamas put four people on the job, which lasted four weeks. The crew was professional, and their work is high quality. They are clearly knowledgeable and experienced. They showed up every day on time. We had a manager, Nelson, who took ownership of the project and managed his crew professionally and respectfully. He was easy to work with, gave his educated opinion about things, such as which brand and type of paint works best in our SF weather. When there were issues, Nelson was flexible and interested in finding a solution that worked for us. Something to state, which most people know, is the prep work is the most important and time consuming of a paint job. They spent 75% of the time on prep, filling cracks in the stucco, sanding the window sills, etc. The actual paint looks fantastic and should last a long time. We will use them again, and I highly recommend them to others. read more

We had our 118 year old house with a ton of deferred maintenance painted by Modamas last year. We saved for five years after buying the house to get it painted. As they dove into the project they found a lot of things that needed to be repaired - flashing, window frames, gutter, back steps, etc. They arranged for their carpenters and a 3rd party sheet metal guy to do the work. They communicated thoroughly throughout the process, providing estimates and photo documentation. I won't lie, it was not cheap, but they did high quality work and the crews were great. And after the crazy rain we had this winter, I am so glad we had our gutters and rotted window frames replaced/repaired. The bonus? I was hoping to make our house look less bad, but what we got was actually a nice looking house. read more

1) My house was last painted around 13 years ago, not decades ago which you state. Happy to show you the paper work. Also, unless a paint job is for a new build, I assume all your paint jobs are for a 'refresh'? I saw it as a full paint job of my facade, nothing less. 2) Multiple work crews refused to work with me?? I had no trouble with the one work crew. I gave them nice cash tips. My issue was with the project manager who did not manage my job professionally. I was told his handling of my job was 'the last straw' leading me to assume he was let go. The owner stepped in for a period to clean up the situation. Then, Raleigh. I like Raleigh. It's no fun having bubbles constantly appear after a new paint job and I can see it's no fun having to constantly fix them, either, but there we go. I did ask Raleigh to clean up one divot recently which had appeared at the exact spot of a bubble clean up, I thought that was a fair ask. 3) I am not sure I am okay with you telling me you'll contact me next August, but perhaps we should agree to move the discussion off Yelp at this point? read more

This review is a bit overdue but we're so happy that we chose Modamas to paint our home's exterior.

Modamas Painting - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

Modamas just completed painting the exterior of my 100 year old home in San Francisco (November 2022). I am very happy with the work.The team was very professional, highly skilled, attentive to detail (which was important to me), and cleaned up every day before they left. The exterior of my home looks great! And the project was completed on time and within the estimate originally provided to me. Nelson, the project manager, was very responsive throughout the entire project, answering my emails almost immediately and keeping me informed as the project progressed. I would definitely recommend Modamas and would be glad to work with them again. read more

Power wash, prep and paint. Erik Virula did an outstanding job painting the exterior sides of my house. Erik was prompt, polite and respectful of my home. He cleaned up everyday as the job took 4 days to complete. Erik also power washed my deck and returned the next day after the work was done to attach loose boards on the decks steps. I really appreciate his thoughtful attention to detail. Erik is my go-to painter for this type of work. I highly recommend him. read more

Modamas Painting - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

Modamas did some painting work at a 4-unit building I lived in a few years ago, and my HOA had a good experience with them. When I moved to a new location and needed some painting work done, I was ready to work with Modamas again. I didn't need to repaint the entire house (I hadn't decided on any new colors so was holding off on that) but I wanted to make sure the home was watertight. I hired Modamas to do maintenance painting work -- fixing & sealing cracks, repairing any minor damage, and repainting those areas. Andres was my primary communication source and I was pleased with his responsiveness as we planned out the work scope, and his patience in answering all of my concerns and questions. When it came time to do the work, I was happy with the guys who came onsite to do the repair & maintenance work. They had to troubleshoot through matching paint colors, as I didn't know all of the original paint choices used the paint the house previously. They got a really good match and finished all of the work in a timely fashion. They also did a great job at applying a custom stain to the new garage door panels I had recently installed. read more

Raleigh and crew did an excellent job painting the extensive trim on our cedar shingled home: on time, careful, skilled. The estimate was reasonable as was the very fair pricing for the time and materials taking care of the unexpected items. We will use them again, for sure. read more

The +'s: + John G and his co-worker repainted my studio ceiling and walls. When J started on the bathroom the condition was not at its best so he informed me of the additional work needed. He gave me a quote of $1,200 to fix the flaking, repaint bath, hallway, studio living area except kitchen. This included painting trim which is different from main waill color. I'm glad he had let me know and found the quote competitive. + I pointed out one trim to repaint that was not in the main room. He took note and I did not have to remind him. + He asked that I stop by to review the work. I'm glad he initiated this idea to clear up any potential differences in expectations. + They were very careful with my floor which I had just refinished. No marks left behind! + Punctual! We met at days and times noted. I hate waiting! + Promised work done by certain date and time without delays. The Minuses -'s: - Can't think of any at the moment! The TIPS *'s: * I picked out the paint colors and probably should have had him buy everything since he gets discounts. I provided 2 gallons of Restoration Hardware Mediterranean White paint which is probably $80 worth of paint that could have been saved if I had just decided to go with another paint brand and color. * Text and phone calls are best way to communicate. Contractors dont' sit by a computer. * Get estimate in person. Sometimes describing the work done over phone is different from actual work that needs to be seen and done. read more

We hired Modamas to paint the exterior of our home, and couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Alfredo and his team were highly professional, skilled, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. We had a number of carpentry repairs needed, and they were able to take care of those in conjunction with the painting, making for a seamless process. They were very responsive to any questions or requests we had, and we felt they really went above and beyond. The house looks great with the new paint, and it's such a relief to know that so many of the repairs it needed are now taken care of. I highly recommend Modamas! read more

Modamas Painting - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

From the estimate to scheduling and completion, I am extremely happy. My house, front and back, was in dire need of necessary repair and refresh. Raleigh was knowledgable and communicative throughout the entire process; I had a lot of moving parts to complete before painting could begin and they worked with me through each: stair repair, window replacement, etc. The crew, helmed by Carlos, went above and beyond: helpful, conscientious and the utmost attention to details. Did I mention communication? Daily reports and updates - outstanding. They also assisted with the complex paint placement for my 1900 Victorian. And, I mean, I may be biased, BUT IT LOOKS GORGEOUS. Just an absolutely fantastic job. I tell everyone and I'm telling you. Use them!! read more

Miguel and crew ( Eric, Jose, and Armando) did a wonderful job painting our dining room and hallway! They gave these areas a much needed "facelift". They were superb in painting the details of the Victorian trims of each area, and even smoothed out the "wrinkles" , the cracks from the walls and ceilings, that comes with age being a Victorian built in 1884. Very professional, detailed, and thorough. Also, did a great job cleaning up after work completed. Would hire and request this crew again for future paint jobs , both interior and exterior! read more

Recently had this company back for some work at our home in the Lower Haight. I cannot say enough about the customer service and quality. The team that has worked on our home are some of the same crew that worked on it 5 years ago. Rick, Nelson and Raleigh are amazing. Professional, and detail oriented. The woodwork and painting prep is always done right. The Modamas bid is never the lowest, (we always get three), but it is thorough, and you know what you are paying for. The office staff, Georgiana and Jeff communicate really well, and there are never surprises. We have used them over the years on at least 4 major jobs and would have them back any time. read more

If you're looking for a responsible, professional, quality company, Modamas is the company you're looking for. Raleigh and his team - Rene, Denis, Carlos, and Daniel are not only a joy to work with, but simply the best. Each a highly skilled, detail oriented, caring professional, who goes the extra mile, and works with you to make it right and beautiful. And that's what makes all the difference between a good job, and a great job. Looking for a great job? Go with Raleigh and his team at Modamas. I couldn't recommend them more highly! read more

Modamas painted the interior of my 1940s Edwardian home in Pacific Heights. The moldings and baseboards had not been painted in 30+ years and were filled with nicks, scratches and indentations. Most of the walls and ceilings had to repaired and resurfaced. The 6 week project was managed by @ Alfredo Ávila and his capable team. I have high standards and agonized over picking the right color and sheen- both of which changed several times during the 4 week preparation. Alfredo couldn't have been more helpful Painting numerous samples with numerous colors. He never complained (at least to me -:) and gave me valuable advice to help me decide. The end result of his team's work was superb on every level. I'm very grateful for their exceptional work and highly recommend Modamas. P.S. I met with 14 different firms before selecting Madamas. read more

Overall - great service and really great work on my interior paint job! Prompt, courteous, professional. High quality work w attention to detail. With some extra effort perfectly matched my existing paint colors, which I loved but need to have changed from flat to eggshell (even without kids or pets, flat paint was too high maintenance for me). Service: After reaching out to several different painting companies, Modamas was the only one who would take the job. They saw an opportunity to squeeze in an interior job while it was raining for the week. Pretty much everyone else wrote off my project bc it was a small 1 bedroom condo instead of a big, exterior job. So, props to Modamas for being more business savvy. Due to the nature of fitting my job in during poor weather, they were speedy with getting someone out to my place to do an assessment and get me a bid. Alfredo came in the morning before I left for work - he was very flexible with scheduling around my schedule and showed up right on time. He was flexible to come back on Sat morning to pick up my existing paint to get the colors matched, and he and his team showed up right on time on Monday morning to get started. Alfredo also offered some recos for the sheen and the grade of paint. He noted that the paint I had originally was contractor grade and contributed to the difficulty of doing touch ups myself. He said that contractor grade is even finicky for professional painters. Peter was great w the bid - he got it to me quickly and also was flexible when I said I might want to pause things and pick new paint colors. He said they'd be happy to help me out on that front. Work quality: Overall, they did an excellent job. They had to patch in several places as I had had electrical work done. Super smooth - you can't even see where they patched. No sloppy splatters or drips. Super clean, crisp borders, even w some really dark accent wall colors. After a couple missteps on matching to one of the colors, they finally managed to match it by removing a small part of the wall and taking it to the paint store. I appreciated the extra effort bc I really didn't like the color until they matched it. Price/value: I'm a believer in that you get what you pay for. While not as inexpensive as the painter I originally used for my place when I moved in, Modamas' team is also bonded and insured, which was more important to me now that I've had more work done on my place (I have a better understanding what can go wrong and the value of insurance). Additionally, I appreciated the recommendations they gave me regarding paint grade and sheen. The quality of the work was better than much I've seen around the city, in other people's apartments/condos. read more

Modamas Painting - Thank you for the beautiful paint job inside and outside. Erik was wonderful to work with. Timely and clean. - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

Erik Virula is an incredibly talented craftsman! He painted my daughter's room with precision, attention to every detail, and fixing all the mistakes that had been there for over a decade. He is always exactly on time or early, communicative, willing to help with ideas and recommendations, and fastidious in terms of prep and clean up. We will be hiring him again and again as I begin to think about adding color to other rooms! Modamas is so lucky to have Erik on its team! Need to also give a shout out to Modamas and its owner, Fabian. My daughter's room had a problem that NO ONE could solve -- a magnetic primer applied 9 years ago kept oxidizing new (white) paint and rusting it as applied (by us...this was a self-help paint project at first). Fabian brilliantly figured out several solutions that could work, and walked us through how to test each out, wait, and proceed only after several days. He also recommended that Erik Virula be our painter. What a difference -- a solution that worked, a gorgeous space that my daughter can now occupy, and talented and precise painting that was accomplished by a real craftsman. Thank you! read more

My kitchen needed a fresh coat of paint - a project I've been putting off for YEARS. It seemed like nightmare job (to me) - yellow and blue floor-to-ceiling cabinets. I wanted the new paint to be white. Modamas was the third painting company I spoke with. The first quoted me a price that was so astronomical that I waited two months to even call another painter. The second didn't seem like they had their act together (and estimated I would be out of my kitchen for well over a week). But the third time was the charm. I placed a call to Modamas, Sam came out to give me a quote (a completely reasonable quote I might add), and they started work a couple days later. Marshall and Juan spent three days in my kitchen and did a wonderfully meticulous job. They were easy to have around, nice guys, and left the kitchen spotless at the end of each day. (see photo) I look forward to calling on Modamas for any future painting projects I might have. read more

Modamas Painting - After: Used to be yellow/blue. - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

Very good experience. We needed the front exterior of the house repainted & got a few quotes from leading firms. To be honest any of them could have done the job but Modamas came through with a highly competitive bid, availability to deliver, and a very thorough proposal (with a gazillion references) that spoke to their professionalism. They were there when they said they were going to be there, and communicated well around possible weather delays, etc. & kept the work site very clean & tidy. They worked well with a scaffolding firm & negotiated a price significantly less than the other firms for this service. At some point you have to go to scaffolding - ladders just don't cut it, and Modamas made this a seamless process. Special kudos to the project lead, Rick Kennan. Good mix of consultation, team lead, hands-on work and customer service. As for the ultimate test - the house looks great..! read more

What to say about Modamas that hasn't already been said in the other reviews... Well, maybe I can't find something original to say, so I'll add my voice to the chorus of happy customers. We hired Modamas for two separate projects: we changed the colors in just about every room of the house prior to our move-in, and we've just repainted the entire exterior of the house as well. The crew did a great job from start to finish. They were attentive, really respectful of our neighbors, and they went above and beyond to make sure that the job was completed correctly. I was kept very well informed along the way about the progress, unexpected findings, and the timetable. One of our neighbors was concerned about her backyard, which would need to be accessed during the painting, but after seeing how careful and attentive the crew was to her plants, she has asked Modamas for an estimate. Other neighbors have also let me know how much they enjoyed working with the Modamas crew and how they plan to use Modamas for their houses. In short, I recommend Modamas very highly. I know I will use them again in the future. read more

This review is two years in the making, and if I could give 10 stars for the experience I had with Modama's, I would. Two years ago I was in escrow for a condo in a 1907 3-unit Edwardian. One of the major findings from all the home inspection reports was the state of the paint on the back and sides of the house and how water-compromised those areas were - especially in an extremely narrow lightwell bordering between us and the neighbor. After closing escrow, the paint was one of my major concerns so I quickly wanted to get a bid to present to the HOA on what it would cost to get done. In addition, I have two young children so proper knowledge and adherence to the lead safe practices when dealing with lead-based paint were a key priority. While performing a remodel of the interior of my unit, again, two years ago, Raleigh came out and provided one of the most detailed bids I had ever seen from a contractor regarding process, items in and out of scope, materials used, timing, etc. The bid was itemized according to the sides of the building which was also great and he provided copies of lead certifications, insurance, and licenses. We also identified that most of the window flashings had completely rusted/rotted through, as well as a century of unpatched holes, unused pipes/chimneys/vents, and unsecured siding. In addition, as the roof was replaced last year, there was legacy water damage rotting out the window trim and rusting nails from the inside due to the state of the prior roof. Raleigh had a recommendation for a carpenter/contractor - Eugene McGuiness - who was absolutely amazing and also provided a very detailed bid. Over the next two years the HOA had a laundry list of other maintenance items but budgets finally aligned to kick off the project this month, and I couldn't be happier. Raleigh had not only been pinging me regularly (every other month or so) but also stuck to the original bid in terms of cost, which showed an amazing level of customer service and professionalism. The great thing about Modama's is the project coordination. Raleigh, being an extremely eloquent resource dedicated to project management successfully orchestrated aligning timelines so the scaffold went up on a busy street across 3 neighbors yards (and he provided amazing letters + copies of his insurance and licenses to gain neighbor permission), ensuring Eugene had the right amount of time to do his work, and finally finishing his portion prior to the 45 day limit of scaffold before late charges begin to incur. He was also very responsive to text, e-mail, phone and always available at a moment's notice. In addition, a paint job is more than just aesthetics, as they went through cases of caulking to waterproof the building. Great experience and would definitely recommend Modama's again. read more

If there were 10 stars, that's what they would get. I worked with Raleigh to repaint my house. He came over promptly, assessed the site and sent an estimate within a few days. For me, it was a formidable task, and the decision was not made easily--Photoshopping color combinations, photographing houses...Raleigh was helpful and informative in the process of picking paints and colors, and patient beyond belief. He really wanted me to feel satisfied with the decision and enjoy the new house that would greet me when I returned home. That was his goal. Raleigh and his team were extraordinary. They carried out the job with complete control and expertise, always keeping things organized, ordered and clean so access was never a problem. Their estimate was reasonable and there were no hidden surprises. Everything was executed perfectly. I'd recommend Modamas to anyone...and ask for Raliegh. read more

One year later... our building is looking great! I highly recommend checking out the many fine paint jobs these guys have done around the city. Super fine! read more

Modamas Painting - looks great! - Painters Near Me - San Francisco, California

As a Realtor, it is very important that I can refer my clients to incredibly good service providers. We had a new listing to prepare, and we needed to freshen up the front of the house with a new 6-color paint job. It was a Victorian that we wanted to restore to some of its former glory with a great palette. We had a colorist specify the palette and jot down the color choices on a photo of the property, along with written instructions, and gave the written/photo instructions to Modamas. From the start, Modamas was incredibly responsive. We got someone out there to give us a quote immediately, and the quote was turned around within a few days. Not only that, but it was a very detailed, professionally written quote, complete with proof of their licensing and bonding, insurance, reviews, how to select a painter, and other informational items. I was immediately impressed with the organization, promptness, and professional nature of our interactions. This is a crazy real estate market, and getting any service providers to perform work on short notice is nearly impossible. We quickly got on their books to have the house painted within the month. We had a deadline to meet, and they were very accommodating. They were even able to squeeze us in earlier than expected when some other jobs were delayed. They coordinated the scaffolding for us, let us know when it would arrive (it was on time), and when their crew would begin the painting. They arrived promptly, completed the job on schedule, were extremely professional, neat, and respectful. Their work was absolutely beautiful (and I am incredibly picky when it comes to "staying in the lines" on a paint job!! I'm the one who says "you missed a spot"!) After the job was completed, we did not love the color palette that was selected. We asked the colorist for ideas on how to make it look even better. He proposed some changes. We asked Modamas to implement, and they advised us to not move forward with these changes, as they would not look good at all. We *really* appreciated their honesty. In fact, we trusted them much more than the colorist we had hired! They helped us to brainstorm some ideas, then fit us in VERY quickly for a quick repaint of a door and front-railing. The results were superb. It's sad to say this, but I was utterly shocked at how easy it was to work with Modamas. I work with a LOT of service providers, and the flakey factor is usually pretty high. I have become a bit jaded and typically expect that there will be some drama in every dealing. Not so with Modamas. How refreshing! Raleigh was our primary contact and was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, caring, honest, and really just knows how to get the job done, and done well. I cannot point to a single thing that Raleigh or his crew could have done differently. First class service all around. I will *absolutely* call Modamas first for all future painting jobs. Also of note, their pricing was very much in line with their competitors, and they really excel at complicated color palettes. They really nailed it, not a single mistake in following the written directions. read more

I am a property manager for the large three unit condo building in the SF Richmond district. Jeff came out to give me an estimate that was bit complicated because the bylaws provide that each condo owner is responsible for paying for their restricted areas. Out of the many painting estimates requested, Modamas was the only company that detailed out the costs as requested. Also, new roofing, gutters, and scaffolding needed to be coordinated prior to getting the painting done. Jeff was easy, flexible and coordinated well with the other contractors. In addition to the painting, severals areas of the building needed repair and it was done well and reasonably priced by Norbeth and his team. Norbeth even provided new hardware for a new door without charging us. Norbeth's team accidentally prepped an area of the building that was not in the scope of the project, but they fixed the problem by completely painting that area without charge. Jeff and Norbeth communicated very well with me and with the tenants of the building making sure that everyone knew what to do, resulting in no complaints and a really BEUTIFULLY painted buidling. They are the BEST! read more

We had a fantastic experience working with Modamas. We have a 100-year-old house that had some stucco issues, as well as the need for some carpentry work. We had just installed new windows, and we were revamping the entire look of the house. The bid process was straightforward, and I had a very clear understanding of all potential costs. The team was highly professional, and their attention to detail was beyond our expectation - from the prep/sealing process to painting with an array of different colors and sheens. They also went above and beyond, without any suggestion from me, with small issues that they could have easily ignored or overlooked. The house looks fantastic, and I highly recommend Modamas! read more
