I scheduled an appointment with James to come out and give me an estimate for exterior paint on our house, but he still hasn't shown up and it's been almost an hour now...I guess they're doing fine without my business. They might be good, but I'll never know because they can't be trusted to show up at the agreed upon time...I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Dependable, honest, straightforward, excellent work, and everything else good that you can think of. I've had family members hire a painter and they didn't do enough prep work and paint started chipping off within a few years. I don't know what's going to happen with our exterior paint yet, but I'm pretty confident that with all prep work that they did before painting, will make this paint job last for many years. Dave is someone you can trust. Not like some other 5 star yelp painter that I dealt with before Dave. read more

Dave's team came in during our remodel and did a great job with the interior and exterior of our home. We wanted something special with the home color and Dave was very patient as we refined or color choice. The results were better than expected. It's been 3 years since the painting was done and there is not a flaw in it. His team was very courteous and professional, they did not leave any messes behind and the extra paint for future touch ups was left in cleaned containers labeled with the color name and number for future reference. read more

Job Well Done!!! Dave and his experienced crew of Miguel and Rene did a great job in painting our house. They prepared, caulked, and primed the surface areas before adding two coats of deluxe paint. They also replaced the rotted wood areas with new surfaces. We also had them put up a bird barrier on one the house beam. Workers were punctual and tidied each day before leaving. House looks great. read more

Hired Dave for a 4 room interior paint job recently. His crew showed up on time at 7:30am in the morning and completed the job by 3pm. The attention to detail was very good- taped up floors, lay paper walkways, covered everything, etc etc. He also provided a written quote that detailed the work he would perform. Very professional. Dave is a real character too. Had some great conversations. His quote wasn't the lowest, but I know he and his crew do a good job, they stand behind their work, and they bust their tails doing it. Pacific Coast Painting has been in the business a long time, and they know how to do professional work in climates like SF and Pacifica where the weather can really show the quality of work in a few years. Keep on trucking Dave. read more

Dave's team painted a vacant unit and the exterior of a recently acquired apartment building (check it out - 1069 Capp St, San Francisco; colors by Boor Bridges Architects) for us. From start to finish, he was extremely flexible in helping us achieve our goals. In working around the weather, coordinating around other work going on, and handling the typical job anomalies, Dave did what we needed done and left us with a job well done. read more

Dave and his crew did a fantastic job on our house. They were fast, efficient, thorough and professional. I got other bids that were cheaper, but I went with Dave because he promised to do a more thorough prep job and some of the other companies had dissatisfied customers. If you care about quality, I think he's your man. read more

Dave was quick to get back to us and was able to fit us in immediately. He kept us up to date on what he and his team were doing day to day via email. We had a ton of dry rot and he was able to remove the bad wood along the roof and the back of our house. The paint job was stellar and looks amazing. We would definitely recommend Pacific Coast Painting to any friend. read more

Dave Shapiro and his team at Pacific Coast Painting and Waterproofing made my home look even better than I thought imaginable! My home had not been properly painted in years - paint was peeling, and wood was rotting. I knew I needed someone who was experienced and would do the job right. I was looking for a one stop shop that would do it all - Dave is an experienced contractor as well. I had interviewed other painters, but after talking to Dave, I knew he was the one. During the estimate he was very meticulous, pointing out areas that needed repair. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I had gotten estimates in the same price range or lower, but they did not include all the work that needed to be done. The written proposal covered everything we discussed and the price was very fair. In fact, I think it was a great value for the exceptional quality of work. The entire process was seamless. Dave is very organized and everything went like clockwork. Del, the foreman, and his team were great. They arrived the same time every morning and left the worksite spotless every day. The entire job was brushed and rolled - no airless spraying. Del is a craftsman and a perfectionist. He rebuilt one of my shutters and the wooden box that holds my electrical meter. The shutter he built matches the other one perfectly. My home also needed some stucco work to blend in spots where insulation had been blown in and where a shelf on the front of my home was removed. All were beautifully blended. The only hold ups were MY fault because my original color choices were not working out as I had hoped. Del and Dave had infinite patience with me through it all. They gave me great advice. The colors are PERFECT for my Daly City mid-century home. I have gotten numerous comments from my neighbors and passers-by on how great my house looks. I unconditionally recommend Pacific Coast Painting and Waterproofing - with zero complaints and rated A+ by the BBB. Having been in business since 1978, Dave knows his stuff. I will use them again when I need some interior work done. Pacific Coast Painting and Waterproofing did a remarkable job on the exterior of my Daly City home. I'm sure it will last for years to come. read more

Dave's expert stucco repair and waterproofing helped save us from re-stuccoing our entire back wall. Several homes in our development , built in the 70's, have had to replace entire walls due to inferior stucco. Dave's team repaired every crack, primed and did a super tight job to prevent any further damage. It's still holding tight after several years. They're quick, neat, respectful, and reasonably priced. I wouldn't use anyone else. Kristin, Belmont read more

Dave has done a number of jobs for me over the years. He is a perfectionist and always does quality work at a reasonable price. Denny M read more

Pacific Coast Painting/Dave Shapiro & his team did a fantastic job!!! Professional work, attention to detail and timely project completion.

Dave and crew were great. He provided the specifics in the contract and answered my many questions on timing and details. They spend a lot of time on prep and repaired and sealed well. The job went smoothly with good oversight by Dave and foreman. It was nice to hire a local business, and the positive reviews were true. read more

I had Pacific Coast Painting and Waterproofing paint my home. They did a beautiful job, they were very easy to work with, and cleaned up completely. Dave Shapiro and his staff were did an excellent job. read more

I had requested a quote for a small job and waited over a month for the reply. When I called back, the same guy told me that they don't "do that kind of work." Too bad he couldn't say so a month ago (and couldn't prevent himself from being condescending in letting me know how little he thought of the job I needed done). So sorry I'm pregnant and won't climb tall ladders- didn't realize asking to pay you money to do it for me was such an inconvenience for you to endure. read more

Pacific Coast Painting & Waterproofing is the best! I found them on Yelp when I needed professionals to paint the interiors of my house, the exterior windows, and a backyard patio. Because this was a big project, I got quotes from several Bay Area companies. Dave Shapiro, owner of Pacific Coast Painting & Waterproofing, met with me right away. He worked with me on my budget and gave me a very reasonable price. While I could have gone to cheaper competitors, I knew I would not have gotten the excellent workmanship, attention to detail, and beautiful results that I ultimately received. Plus, the company is licensed and insured, which were major priorities for me. Dave and his dedicated employees were amazing to work with! They genuinely cared about getting the job done right. They did lots of preparation work and were neat, organized and fast when it came to painting. Based on this company's stellar record, reputation, and my great experience with them, I highly recommend Dave Shapiro and Pacific Coast Painting & Waterproofing. read more

I called Pacific Coast Painting and Dave came out immediately to give me an estimate. We walked around the house and he described the preparation, waterproofing and painting of my home. He presented a detailed estimate and Rene and Miguel soon began work. They were wonderful-covering all the windows and the deck and patio. The house was not in good shape which resulted in a lot of preparation which they did meticulously. Both Dave and his crew were patient with my many questions. Dave made sure that any concerns were addressed and solved...and they helped me choose a beautiful paint color. They left the work site neat and clean. Also, they replaced a number of dry rot areas and installed all new vents at no extra charge! read more

Our two story Pacifica home still had the original paint from when it was built in 1980. Needless to say, it needed a lot of work. Several of the corners of the wood siding had weathered away. The nails had rusted through in several places. One of the windows we installed ourselves needed a frame, and the chimney needed attention. The redwood decks were dry an gray, having never received stain or finish. Dave was very helpful, carefully paying attention to every detail, making sure his crew did not cut corners, and helping select the colors and stain. The bid was the highest received, but was competitive and comprehensive, reflecting the detailed scope of work necessary to properly prepare, paint and protect our coastal home from exposure to salt air and maritime effects. The work was done very well and for a fair price. Many neighbors and passer-bys commented on the high quality work and the resulting beauty of our home. With Pacific Coast Painting, you can't go wrong. read more

My little house has never been so beautifully prepped and painted. Thank you Dave and crew! These guys went over every inch of my home - scraping, sanding , filling cracks, caulking grooves. Each and every nail head on my cedar siding was coated with a rust preventative before they painted. No detail escaped Dave's crew!These guys do thorough, meticulous work and are an absolute pleasure to work with. My house finally received the paint job I have always wanted it to have. Thank you Dave and crew! read more

Over the years i have hired several painting contractors. Bill and his staff are by far the best. Their attention to detail is excellent and they were outstanding on the prep work. They did the complete exterior of my home plus guest house in 9 work days. Bill is on top of the project and displayed the highest level of integrity. He stuck to his bid even though there were some changes he didn't try to come back for a price increase like so many contractors do. Going forward he and his company will be my only painting contractor. read more

Pacific Coast Painting and Waterproofing are the BEST. They painted the exterior of my home and did the best job I could ask for. They went above and beyond what I had contracted for. I would recommend them (and have) to everyone. read more

I am very satisfied with the work done by Pacific Coast Painting Co. who painted the interior and exterior of our house. Dave Shapiro, the owner of the company, gave us a very competitive bid with the other companies who we asked for an estimate. Dave is a perfectionist, and improved things in this almost 50 year old house that no previous painter ever did. His crew was efficient, neat, prompt, very nice guys and a pleasure to have around. They were willing to do some extra things above and beyond the usual expectations of a painting crew. . The difference between them and any number of painters is their friendly, positive attitude, excellent workmanship, and attention to detail. Dave kept in touch by e-mail if there were any questions or changes. They cleaned up everyday, and there are no spills anywhere. They even washed the windows before they left. I highly recommend them and would hire them again. They have anA+ rating and no complaints from the Better Business Bureau during 35 years in business , and no complaints on Angie's list or Yelp. They get an A+ from me, too. Judy T read more

No complaints, in fact top marks and many kudos to Dave and his team at Pacific Coast Painting Company. Dave and his guys recently completed our newly purchased home in the hills of Pacifica. They did a wonderful job on the interior, several different paint colors were chosen and with no hassle, no drama or fuss, Dave surpassed our expectations and in a most efficient manner and at a fair price. Very professional from start to finish. I won't be looking any further than Dave and his team when I ask them to paint the exterior of our home sometime in the next few months. Highly recommended, quality, reliable, responsible, an excellent outfit. Thanks Dave and your guys. read more

Dave and his team did a great job on our house. They were very professional, worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Dave made good suggestions on painting colors and what parts of the house to paint which color. We went with his suggestions and it turned out great. We've gotten lots of compliments from our neighbors. We have a couple dogs too and they didn't mind having them around. I'd highly recommend Pacific Coast and would use them again. read more

If you want things done professionally, and will last, contact Dave at Pacific Coast Painting. We had the exterior of our home painted in June of 2010 and it has held up nicely, even in a dramatic California environment like Pacifica. Dave and his team were professional and Dave himself has over 20 years of experience. I would recommend Pacific Coast Painting over some of the other local "spray and go" company's as Pacific Coast Painting takes the right amount of time to do it right. read more

I'm not one to sit down and write a review (this being my first) but felt compelled to do so. Dave and his crew are extremely deserving of this review!! I recently had my one story house and decks painted. I just want to mention Dave the owner pitches in when needed! Unheard of these days. This is the company to hire. They are so consciousness, hard working and detail orientated. This company takes pride in their work! He cares! I'm so glad to know an awesome painter! read more

Dave and his team did a superb job with painting the exterior of our home. When I called Dave, he responded immediately and was easy to communicate with during the entire process. He was very customer oriented and was understanding and flexible. In addition to doing an excellent, detailed job, Dave's team was extremely professional, thorough and quick. Their work was meticulous and they took care in making sure everything was complete and cleaned up upon completion. In summary, Dave and his team followed through with what they committed to do and exceeded our expectations. I will definitely use him for future work and recommend him highly. read more

Dave and his team did an awesome job on our Victorian building in San Francisco. He was really easy to work with and was very responsive to email and phone calls. His right-hand man was always around and able to answer questions too. The work they did was great. Our place was in bad shape from years of neglect and they sanded it well and did lots of prep work. They also spent a lot of time with detail work on the front and it looks fantastic!! The price was really reasonable considering all the work that needed to be done. I would recommend this company to anyone!! read more

Dave and crew did an excellent job on an exterior paint job. Started when they said they would and finished in a very timely manner. Weather delayed a day but they even found things to do that day. The punch list was very short with five minor items that were taken care of promptly. Nice crew and Del was a good leader. Always friendly and waiting to start work early each morning. You can't go wrong with this company. read more

We've used Dave for over 20 years on various painting projects, both interior and exterior. He just finished painting the outside of our house and we couldn't be happier. He and his crew are meticulous with their prep work, power washing, caulking, taping, removing dry rot. Dave gave us a fair price was on time and on budget, no surprises. Our house is 33 years old and looks like new. If you want quality work with lasting results, I highly recommend Pacific Coast Painting. read more

This company already has 5 stars; so, I don't know what else I should add to this Yelp site. But, just precisely I want to tell you my own experience with Dave. My house's siding was problematic. After the Dave's team completed painting, the side kept having many bubbles because of the west sun's intense heat. In the beginning, he promised that he would re-paint until all the bubbles are gone. He kept the promise. His team came back to my house at least 5 times until no bubbles came back to the side of the house. I have no problem recommending this company to you. read more

It's been 2 weeks since the guys finished, and I am still excited to come down the street and see the house. I love it! Miguel and Rene did great prep work (as mentioned in other posts). They were consistent on their arrival in the morning and leaving at night--seriously like clockwork. When they left each day, they followed the mantra "leave it better than you found it." I loved the power washing. I hecka love the fact that they hand painted for us...you got to with stucco! I am grateful for them adding the new down spout. They did a great job on staining the deck. A big "thank you" to Miguel for the house numbers! Oh! And, I have a dog, so I am very grateful to Pacific Coast Painting for closing the gates each day. A "thank you" to Dave for his willingness to talk through the "trim" options with me. The compliments about the house keep coming from the neighbors and friends. We have Pacific Coast Painting to thank. read more

We had built a beautiful custom Victorian-style home with a lot of detail on a ridge above Pacifica back in 1991, but had never repainted the exterior. We contacted Dave at Pacific Coast Painting and he provided us with an estimate and stuck to this. His crew was professional, friendly, arrived early every day -- and what attention to detail! After scaffolding was placed, the crew spent a lot of time preparing the redwood siding, trim, and detail, scraping, sanding, priming, and caulking; just a fantastic first-class prep job. Dave has experience with Victorian houses in San Francisco and was patient, assisting with choices of colors (Bob Buckner color scheme), and repairs where needed. The final result is just beautiful; way beyond our expectation. He even took the extra steps of painting the visible section of the cement foundation to match the color scheme. People driving by regularly stop their cars in front of the home, and mention how fantastic the home looks. I dutifully thank them, take credit (of course), but Pacific Coast really deserves the accolades as it was all due to their hard work. We are extremely pleased and give Dave and his crew our highest recommendation. read more
