From the day I met Melissa, received and approved the estimate to the entire process of the crew preparing my house for interior painting of open concept living room/kitchen, dining room and master bath and the exterior of the house. I couldn't have asked for a better crew.They were immaculate in every aspect of the job. The floors and anything not getting painted was covered. I never had to worry about anything. They were 100% on time everyday. They always put all their stuff away and left everything clean at the end of the day. Melissa helped me with colors, Alberto #1's expertise was invaluable and Alberto#2, Nicholas and Daniel receives a 5 star of excellence. I wanted quality and I got the highest quality of a job well done. I highly recommend Next Level Painting Pros. Their name says it all. read more

We had Next Level paint two houses for us in 2019, and they did ... fine. Reasonably responsive during each job. Damaged our neighbors' garden during one job, which distressed them a fair bit; we replaced the damaged plants with some impact to our wallet but none to our friendship. A few punch list items, middling responsive on those. A theoretical three year warranty with poor to no follow up on a couple of durability issues despite multiple outreach; we gave up after a while. Not a crisis. It's about time to paint both again, and we're not calling them for a quote, so figured we'd say that part out loud. We're not deeply unhappy, but not interested in working with them again. It was ... fine. ‍ read more

they did a great job- repaired a number of small exterior items and made sure everything was super clean when done. Pricing was reasonable and easy to understand. I would hire them again. read more

Next level Painting did an excellent job on my rather challenging three-story home with lots of nooks and crannies and eaves and rotting Wood. They took Plenty of time on the prep work, including power washing, sanding, scraping, bonding on the boards and even replacing bad wood . Worked within our schedule and had very good communications with multiple layers of contact. As issues arose, I found responsiveness was excellent, including responding on nights and weekends for the next days work. I would highly recommend them. read more

About 2 years ago I hired Next Level Painting to do a full exterior paint. I was drawn to Next Level because of their great reviews, stated commitment to quality and, importantly, Michael's insistence that he stands by their work (often beyond the formal 3 year warranty). The job they did was thorough, the crew was great, and they were responsive and easy to work with. After about 2 months, a few small things became noticeable, including 2-3 small bubbles on the door and cracked caulking/paint in a few spots. When I first called Michael about it, he stood by the warranty and scheduled time for the touch ups. But no one showed up. When I reconnected with him, he apologized and recommended we wait a couple months so that all the touch-ups become evident. That made sense to me and I wasn't in any rush. But every time I'd follow back up to schedule, he had another reason to push back the timing. I now haven't heard from Michael in nearly a year, despite reaching out to him 2-3 times over the past couple months to see if/when he'd do the touch-ups. While I still have a bit of hope he'll come through, I've mostly given up and will probably find someone else to address the items that Next Level left behind. In short, Next Level did a nice job initially. But if you value someone to stand behind their work and word, based on my experience, I'd go elsewhere. read more

Absolutely Outstanding! This is our second time working with Next Level Painting, and I honestly can't say enough good things about them! This recent project was particularly complex as it involved both rewiring and insulation in our home. From the very beginning, their process for producing an estimate was incredibly thorough, which gave us a lot of confidence right off the bat. The team worked at our place for several days, some of which were in parallel with the insulators. The Next Level Painting crew was extremely flexible and cooperative, expertly handling the complexity as the insulators were going through walls and ceilings. Their ability to adapt and coordinate was truly impressive. We couldn't be happier with the result! After our place was completely gutted by the electricians and insulators, Next Level Painting made it look absolutely brand new. Huge thanks to Michael, Ian, Mario and the rest of the team. Highly, highly recommend! read more

After getting several estimates to get the exterior of my house painted, I went with Next Level Painting. The pricing was very fair and they assured me that all permits needed for Oakland would be taken care of, which was something that Platypus (who quoted me an absolutely insane price) wasn't going to do. Jason & his team were amazing, especially since I was juggling a few other exterior home improvement projects at the same time. Paint selection was fun and easy, and the crew was courteous and got the job done quickly. When I'm ready to paint my home's interior, they will be my first call! read more

Next Level painted our 1926 stucco home recently. I chose them because, out of the 6 companies I contacted, they provided the most thorough estimate; and they've gotten great reviews here. They were not the cheapest but we want our new paint job to look good for the next 20 years, and I think it will. The crew was easy to work with, professional, and very tidy. They cleaned the site every evening and removed the trash. After they left, the only remaining was our beautifully painted home. We are thrilled with the results and heartily recommend them to anyone who needs their house painted. read more

Michael, Jose and their crew did a spectacular job painting the exterior of our house. Their assessment of the job began with a thorough discussion as we toured the outside of the house, and the conversation quickly turned to the age of the house (World War II vintage) and lead paint mitigation. The guys at Next Level really opened my eyes to the amount of care and expertise that's needed when dealing with lead paint. I got assessments of the job from two other painting companies: one company would not take the job due to the lead paint on the house, while the other simply assured me that they could do the job without any discussion of permitting or mitigation. Surprisingly, the quote from Next Level was not that much higher than the one from the company that was not going to perform appropriate mitigation. Going with Next Level was an easy decision. While we were choosing paint colors, Michael was happy to give his perspectives and he helped us decide on something that really showed off the house to its best effect. When the painting began, the entire crew was friendly, courteous and professional. Their work was tidy and beautiful, and they left our property cleaner than they found it. They expanded their work during the job to cover additional line items, and they always took the initiative to do the right thing that was best for the job, even when it was more trouble. Thank you Next Level! read more

Next Level recently painted the exterior of our 1938 Sunset District home (front and back). Also included was our center patio (atrium). The front included a metal balcony and gate. Windows and trim were painted a contrasting color. We're incredibly impressed by this paint company. Everybody we met was courteous and professional, from estimator Jason to supervisor Alberto and foreman Victor and his crew. The prep was amazing and thorough, and cleanup great. The job was completed in 5 working days and the price was reasonable. We're extremely happy with the result. read more

There is nothing next level about this company. Of all the painters I've gotten estimates from, including the ones that flaked with no communication, this company is the worst! They just strung me along and have been a complete waste of time. What happened? - 8 min before my appointment, I got a message that they were running 10 min late - 1 min before my appointment, I was told there's no need for them to come onsite and to just send photos - 7 min after my appointment, as I was taking and sending photos, I got a message that they can be there in 10 min - 17 min after my appointment, they were a no show with no communication - Over 2 days later, still no acknowledgement or communication I don't understand how any good business can operate like this. read more

After completing an addition to our home, we realized how bad the paint had become on the rest of the house. It being a 1920 house with several layers of peeling and flaking paint, we knew we wanted it done right. Next Level Painting did a very thorough and amazing job. I really appreciated the little and easy to miss details like removing and/or replacing cabling on the side of the house, painting under the deck, painting all the little accent pieces on the roof, repairing and/or replacing slats that had rot or damage. They covered everything, kept things clean and organized, and made sure to cover every detail. The final result is fantastic, we couldn't be happier. read more

Jason has a great team and they worked very professionally and giving good advices. I like they always update me in the end of each day on what they did and what to expect for the next day. They did 2 layers of primer and two layers of Benjamin Moore exterior paint, plus some specific metal fence primer to protect them from rusting . They are kinda pricey but I love the job they did on my house and knowing what I get for what I paid for. I'll definitely recommend they to my neighbors for their painting job. Keep up the good work! read more

Next Level was helpful and prompt. As the scope of work changed due to some construction happening the same time they were accommodating. I love the way the house looks read more

Michael, Francisco, and Alberto make a great team. Very nice fellows, hardworking, communicative, and skillful! They spent ALOT of time patching our home and repairing the damage on the outside.

Color Consultant was Samantha Moss: https://www.samanthamosscolor.com/ she did a great job helping us find this palette. We love it. read more

Michael and his great company painted the façade of my three-unit Edwardian in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco, and did a great job from start to finish.

Did a great job on our deck and balcony, highly recommend! They pay attention to detail, and when a color wasn't quite right, through no fault of their own (eg the color in the can did not match what was in the brochure from the paint manufacturer), they bent over backwards to make it right. read more

To say we were pleased would be an understatement. We were very happy with the quality of service, cost estimate, attention to detail and responsiveness. Miguel's quote and ability to advise us on all our available options was exactly what we were hoping for. The cost estimate was fairly priced and definitely not overpriced unlike some of the other painting companies which we also initially brought to bid. The painters work Monday through Friday and they arrive timely every single day. Miguel and Michael are a winning team! read more

We used Next Level Painting to repaint a 2 story wood sided early 1900s home in north Oakland, and they did a fantastic job.

Next Level Painting - House - Painters Near Me - Oakland, California

I had about 5-7 yelp bids, and I ultimately chose them based on the Bid guy's personality being very agreeable and persistent on booking the job. (It was early January/February?) and I knew i would be gone near the time of painting opening up time -clearing weather being right. Only 1/3 of my house needed painting, and I was surprised how many people were under the umbrella of the bid guy. That guy ended up running the project but turned out to be a poor communicator to the actual painters, specifically certain things needed stain and certain things needed paint, and there was one area that was special that we needed to "tiptoe" around to finding the right stain..There was a bit of a mele and the wrong stain was just thrown up. That was super stressful. Everything kinda ground to a halt. Also, they would move stuff up against the doors that we could NOT exit from the house and that's how I came across a guy who was painting my fence that was already white- brown, it was staying white and not in the scope, only the other side of it was to be painted. I couldn't tell if it was in deference or in frustration or if someone higher up, told someone to just go ahead. Plus they put up this unapproved stain in the end of the area we hadn't settled on. I had to just keep going around the house micromanaging, since the bid guy who i told everything to -was not there- and so I ended up putting blue tape up on all the spills on cement, stucco, wood deck, driveway, door frames, everywhere, checking everyone's work. There were people on site I could clearly see should be the point person- but they were powerless. The owner ended up having his best guy come out to the job to oversee everything very calmly, methodically, step-by-step to remedy the situation and then in response to my tape -the bid guy went crazy with the blue tape everywhere like every little thing was marked, but in the end, it was almost like "a fake effort" to say we see it, but then they didn't actually clean the spots-they just removed the blue tape and left, so then I had to go re-tape all the stuff. They actually didn't address the stains that I personally knew stood out. They would take a wire brush to my stucco or door frames or Goo B. Gone. I still am finding wads of blue tape around my house & in the garden. Am I too generous with 3 stars? I do have to give the owner credit in the fact that he had his best guy on the job, pushing forward to correct the wrong paint and stains, drips and getting the right stain on some upper beams and cleaning up all the messes until it was done. It was a day or two longer than expected and a very stressful part where I didn't realize I would need to sort of babysit everybody to make sure people knew what to paint and not to paint which is kind of a big problem due to poor communication from the bid guy to his workers and "yes man" type personality to my requests and questions. Very frustrating experience indeed. But the job is done. I have a few bubbling spots happening after the experience, in plain view of people at my front door. But, will have to just accept the results after all the drama. read more

If you're looking for a painter that does a poor job the first time, relies on the customer for quality control, and does not stand by their work, then Next Level Painting is for you. I paid Next Level Painting $5,500 to repaint my kitchen cabinets. Within weeks the paint was chipping--I brought this to their attention and was told the paint was still setting. Well, as time went on, the cabinets shed more and more paint. Next Level sent someone over to look at it, and then I never heard from Next Level again. Text messages and VMs were not returned. My only recourse at this point is to hire another painter to redo the cabinets properly and seek reimbursement through small claims court. read more

I want to thank Jason, Jorge, and Armando at Next Level Painting for doing a fantastic job on the exterior of my house. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence stood out. They never rushed through the process, and they were accommodating throughout. Not only was their price competitive, but they also offered great value for the quality of work; they used Benjamin Moore paint. Our house looks great now, and we've been receiving compliments from our neighbors. I have already recommended them to a co-worker, and I'll continue to share my experience with anyone looking to paint their home. read more

Michael, Francisco and team did an incredible job painting the outside of our house. Showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and finished in the estimated amount of time. Super responsive all the way through from beginning to end. I got estimates from 5 painters before ultimately going with Next Level. They weren't the lowest estimate, but sometimes in life you get what you pay for. I'd highly recommend giving these guys your business. read more

I value technical communication above all else. Miguel and Michael were the best in this regard, and had quick responsiveness throughout the process.

They were able to coordinate well to keep us informed as to the next steps, and they worked around my presence while working-from-home during the work. I would use Next Level again. read more

I hired NEXT LEVEL PAINTING to paint the entire exterior of my Victorian home in Alameda, a large project, the home is nearly 6000 sq ft. The whole house needed scaffolding and on the top roof level, which is steep and difficult. There are quite a few additional areas that require painting, not an easy job. We had a hiccup initially getting the job scheduled, but once it was scheduled, everybody arrived on time worked diligently, cleaned up and did what I consider to be a great job that was finished on time and as agreed upon. I would recommend this company to others without any hesitation . I am extremely happy with how my house looks and the overall job :) read more

Super kind guys and the job was completed on time. read more

Edit to respond to to business owner: Jason told me on the phone on Thursday he would get back to me that day. I received no call. Friday he said he was working on it. Saturday I asked if I could expect a quote by Monday. No response from Jason. I called Jason yesterday, Monday and left a VM. No phone call returned. These are the facts. Please set reasonable expectations with potential customers and follow through. Unprofessional. Ghosted me when I asked for a quote after I had a phone conversation with Jason and sent all information as requested. Waste of time. read more

We had an excellent experience with Next Level Painting. Jason, Ramon and Jose did a fabulous job--very thorough, very detailed, and expert.

I arranged for Next Level Painting to paint a relatives home for me. I could not have been more pleased. I no longer lived in the area, and I couldn't be present during the job. But I i was very pleased with the responsiveness of this company, and staying in touch with me throughout the process. My family member, who owns and lives in the property, was also very pleased with their services and with the finished product. They were prompt, they were reliable, they were on time and did the job in the timeframe and price that was agreed on. The work was excellent quality. Far and above, for me, was feeling that I was working with a company I could trust, and depend on. Now that I am in town and can see the property again feel very blessed to have worked with them. I highly recommend them. read more

In the summer of 2024 our Church decided it was time for new paint of our sanctuary space. We interviewed all the top painting firms in our area and decided to go with Next Level. Jason came and met with us on numerous occasions. He understood that we had a lot of red tape to overcome as our board of directors had the final say, which can be a long process. They were very patient with us throughout the process, answered many questions and educated us on the process, which was invaluable! Work was completed in 2 weeks, as promised. They even returned to assist with a few minor wiring issues we had (at no fault of Next Level). Going out of their way to assist meant a lot to us. We cannot recommend their services enough. We also had a few other small rooms painted. Their teams were friendly, CLEAN and helpful. Thank you so much Next Level and if we ever need paint done at our church home or private home, we know who to call read more

Incredibly efficient and fast, I was moving into a new apartment that was this god-awful hospital blue and I was in between Certa Pro or Next Level and honestly, SO glad I chose Next Level. I gave them three samples, we did a test, and they finished it in a day in a half before my movers got in. Crisp, clean, not a DROP of paint on the crown moulding or trim or window or anything. Ugh my apartment is so much warmer and the whites are way whiter in contrast. Plus they're affordable and responsive, I had nothing to worry about. I'm also a designer so I'm a little neurotic when it comes to these details but damn I couldn't have done it better myself. Thank you Michael, Alberto for saving that sad-ass Victorian.
