Ray and his team did an excellent job on our garage floor and front porch. They painted our garage too. He was very communicative and responsive over text. He was on time every morning and kept everything on schedule. Would definitely reach out to him again for future projects. read more

Great team, very hard working and excellent quality. They worked all time except for their lunch period. No cell phones in site, only painting tools. Rare theses days. Fair pricing on this project. read more

These guys are the best in the game! We got multiple quotes before going with Proactive They were quick to respond, clear and organized in their quote and proposal. Once the project started - everything was covered and protected, work was done quickly and they immediately adjusted when I had some last minute changes. Overall great experience. Will definitely be working with them again in the future. read more

Raymond and David did a beautiful job painting the interior walls of my condo. They displayed excellence, professionalism and timeliness from start to finish. They showed up exactly when they said they would and their cost estimate was very reasonable. David and his team finished painting early, even after I added on some extra exterior painting. They cleaned up well and even left me several labeled paint cans so I could do touch ups as needed. I give them 5 stars and will definitely be using them again! read more

Got my house re-caulked for the upcoming raining season and was very happy with Proactive Painting's service. Communication was great and the jobs were done nicely. Raymond and his crew were always on time. After the project was completed, I noticed a few spots that need further treatments and Raymond also got them taken cared of quickly. I would recommend their services. read more

David and team is great! They done well communication to arrange all things on time. Starting from competitive good estimate, work schedule, materials for paint and finish the job on time with good quality. I would recommend for any paint job read more

We got outside painting of our home done recently. Works was done in a timely manner and Jose and the team are highly skilled, did excellent job. Worked with Raymond Gill, CEO, to get the estimate. Their estimate was the lowest of the three. They have also taken care of mail box structure, which wasn't included in the original. Raymond is honest and flexible. read more

While the painting was done carefully and looks great, they decided to power wash a brick walkway which we did not request ("we wanted the yard to look nice and refreshed"). The power-washing took almost two hours of the worker's time and a TON of water. I am NOT going to be happy when we see our water bill next month. We would hire them again without being VERY clear about what the scope of work was, what we were paying for. read more

I worked with David to get my rental property refreshed. He worked with me and my tenants to find a time to come by and give a quote for the job. Later on he met me at a short notice on a weekend to decide on a paint color choice and at that time we decided to change the work order and get more work done. Because we found their prices so reasonable, we used Proactive Painting to not just paint our indoor walls and doors but also to refinish out kitchen island and to also power wash the the outside of the property and the driveway. David was very patient throughout the process and answered all my questions, making suggestions (but not pushing for more work) and helped me arrive at the final work order. He shared the work order online and it was very detailed. Their quotes included the materials, so it was easy to see a single number and decide if it worked for us. After the job, we found an issue with a door paint job and David came by again to sand it down and paint it again. It was a pleasure working with David and his crew. I highly recommend them and would use their services again! read more

When I needed my new place to be painted, I reached out to several painters for estimates. Ray was not only the most responsive but also the estimate was far more competitive. He was extremely communicative leading up-to the project and throughout the entire process which gave me much needed peace of mind after the chaos of renovations. He and his team did an amazing job! I mean, they were able to remove door hooks that were severely glued on, sanded them down and painted them over to the point you wouldn't have known otherwise. They also were able to cover horribly stubborn light green paint in one of the bathrooms. I could not have been happier with the job they did and highly recommend them to anyone who has small, medium, or large projects! read more

When you do a 5 star job, you get a 5 star review. Raymond and his team did a great job from being really responsive when quoting, to availability and then the work itself. The painting quality (600sq' apartment, all rooms, exterior trim and interior cabinets) is great. Very neat, clean. They even fixed some issues that were outside of the quote that they discovered (many thanks!). Strongly recommended. read more

I can't recommend Raymond and Proactive Painting enough. I hired Ray for a full interior painting job for a 2-bedroom condominium: walls, ceiling, trim, and doors. And it wasn't a simple one-color job: counting the two ceiling paints (flat for most of it, semigloss for the bathrooms), there were 13 different paints for this job. First, what matters most: the job came out absolutely perfect. Ray and his crew used excellent quality materials, did extremely thorough prep, and worked with an incredible eye for detail. Each paintable surface got at least two coats, and in some cases, more. The condo has a ton of fairly unforgiving natural light and Ray didn't stop painting a surface until he himself was satisfied it was perfect. In one instance, he even cleverly used paint to visually correct for a structural flaw in the kitchen (a poorly-aligned soffit). Professionalism and communication was flawless. He was on-time every day of the job, stuck to the schedule, never left a mess, and was super responsive with phone calls, emails, and texts. He was also understanding and adaptable when I personally made a mistake that set the job back by a day - giving him the wrong color code for the ceiling paint. I noticed many little things I didn't even request, such as making sure my self-closing front door never slammed so as not to bother my neighbors. After a year of delayed, failed, and largely unprofessional home improvement jobs with other contractors, Proactive Painting was a breath of fresh air. This is a crew that loves their work, and it shows. read more

So the first line in the introduction from Raymond is "customer satisfaction is our top priority" and he definitely stands behind it. If only all the contractors I've had to deal with were this honest, reliable and professional, life would be a lot easier. Ray and his crew did an amazing painting job on a very large and challenging house. Gomez and David were so easy to have around and did such a great job of answering my questions. Alway polite, friendly and professional. The job site was always clean. Ray was always available and prompt in communicating with me. His estimate was very detailed and broken down in a way that allowed for deciding if we wanted to include everything or wait on some of it. I can pretty much guarantee you will be glad you chose them. read more

Ray did a beautiful and meticulous job refinishing our front door. He sanded and applied two coats of spar urethane. Now our front door looks brand new again. Ray was very responsive to our needs, provided a competitive quote, and did excellent work. I give Proactive Painting my highest recommendation. read more

Raymond provided an estimate after an in person inspection of our house and his estimate was very competitive. The work involved painting three rooms and a closet and multiple doors. The rooms had 3 different colors. He matched and purchased the colors for us, and the work was done very professionally and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend this business. read more

Raymond did an amazing paint job for us. I had a very difficult gable that needed to be painted because my roof is very steep. Raymond went above and beyond for this job. He also helped me caulk some needed areas and paint the other side of the trim! I would highly recommend Proactive Painting. read more

I requested multiple quotes and they were one of the more affordable ones. They also did a meticulous job on our house and spent time to make sure that the house looked good. Very happy with the results!! read more

Ray and team were professional from beginning to end and *super detail oriented. Hands down best contractor experience I have had in a while. Ray was referred to us by a neighbor who's house he had painted a couple years back. Because the result looked really good we went with Ray and he and his team did a phenomenal job! They showed up on time every day, did not cut any corners, sealed every crack and in general went above and beyond. The result looks spectacular. Our 70y old home looks like new and blends seamlessly into the neighborhood. read more

David did a great job on our project. Very professional and efficient. The results were way over my expectations. I highly recommend Proactive Painting. read more

Impressive!! And Raymond hasn't even painted yet. He just left after giving me a better than expected estimate. I too have had years of painting, plus hiring others. I do, & once done expect that I still will, wholeheartedly agree with the other reviews! "Proactive" is a perfect reflection of Raymond's personality; he exudes over the top friendly confidence & a "get it done right" work ethic. read more

I received a few quotes for painting the old Victorian house and finally selected Proactive Painting. I am glad to have made this selection! Raymond, the owner, is prompt in providing me a detailed quote. What makes this quote stands out is the details provided eg the prep work such as scraping, sanding, priming the areas with peeling old paint, etc. The other quotes I received merely provides a price. Most importantly this company also takes good care of employees by offering insurance, etc. During the course of their work, I do drop by every 2 to 3 days. I can see the pride the workers put in their work. They are meticulous. They did a tedious work in preping the house for painting. No short cuts! Also as an example, there was a missing wood design motif. They communicated this to Raymond and he promptly notified me. This allows me to quickly buy a replacement and install the new motif. The quality and pride of their workmanship is beyond words eg primer where needed and 2 coats of paint. I highly recommend this company!! read more

Ray and his crew were fantastic. Ray was knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating with my timeline. His crew were friendly, skillful, and did fantastic work. I had a lead paint issue with an older garage and Ray worked to remove and seal the lead paint in order to make it safe for my family. Not only was his quote very reasonable but he completed the job quickly and thoroughly with frequent checkins. When we work to repaint our home, we will certainly be giving Ray a call. I encourage anyone who is looking to fill a paint job to work with Ray and Proactive Painting. read more

Raymond Gil (owner) was referred by a neighbor. He and his assistant, David, were efficient, professional, on time and offered competitive fees. Their bid was in writing. Their work was excellent. They carefully taped and covered everything first. Communicated clearly and asked questions about moving anything. The paint job was perfect, two coats, and never rushed. But they finished the job in less time than expected. At the end of the work, they cleaned up well and put furniture back in place as I requested. I would definitely use them again! read more

David showed up today early for our appointment. He was extremely professional and courteous and provided an outstanding job for my painting project. I definitely will be recommending him to friends and family and using for any other projects in the future. I am big on professionalism and he showed that throughout the entire job. Great worker highly recommended I would give 10 stars but yelp only allows five Max. read more

Raymond got the job done quickly, very professional, very happy to select his service.

I have to admit, I didn't use Proactive Painting for painting, but rather for power washing my flat roof in preparation for re-coating it. Proactive was the only service of five that Yelp connected me with that actually was willing to do power washing. The two-man team used two power washers and got off all the muck, mud, leaves, and dried 'Ick" on the roof and now it's clean and white and ready to recoat. Easy and pleasant to deal with -- friendly. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

We had our home painted by Raymond and his team and they did a great job. I had interviewed several painters and decided to give the business to Raymond. My decision was based on who thorough he was when he came to see our home. With his Ipad he took pictures and made notes to ensure he provided us with an accurate quote. On our second meeting he provided us with suggestions and assisted us in getting the right color for our home. He went the extra mile to make sure our home looked awesome by fixing some window frames, and all around demonstrated high quality work. He is very clean and organized throughout the job. We have gotten so many compliments from our neighbors on how nice our home looks. My wife and I are planning to bring him back to do some interior work. With no hesitation we thoroughly recommend Proactive Painting. Victor and Maria read more

Raymond was very professional and pleasant to have around while he was doing the job. He went above and beyond to do some extra touch ups not included in the original project. His work was very thorough and looked great. We will definitely use him again. Mary M. read more

Raymond and the Proactive Painting team are an excellent company to work with. They were always on time, very professional, willing to help with extra tasks and delivered a high quality paint job for the interior of our Saratoga home. Raymond went the extra mile to deliver a high quality finish on the trim and doors...they sprayed all of the trim and took all of the doors to their shop so that they could spray a great finish. Proactive Painting was also very competitively priced and did some unplanned work for a small increase in price. We would highly recommend Raymond and his team for your painting needs. read more

Ray and his team did an awesome job painting my condo. It looks beautiful and bright! Very responsive and friendly, and the price was right too. read more

Pro-Active Painting gets the top 5 star rating for performing excellent exterior complete house painting. The bid was the the most reasonable compared to 2 other companies that quoted thousands of dollars more with higher bids. read more

Raymond was referred by another 5 star (on Yelp) painter who was too busy to fit us in this summer. Raymond called back immediately with a quote and was able to start next week. Took him and David two days to get the job done and everything turned out great. Color match was perfect. Even though Sherman Williams mixed the paint wrong the first time around, Sherman Williams had to redo it all and Raymond stayed super cool. As of the writing of this review, he just got his license after many years in the industry and over four years foreman with the aforementioned top-rated Yelp painting company. Raymond and David's chipper attitude, prompt correspondence and job completion clearly show the desire to build a great company. read more

I contact them to help paint my fathers kitchen and they did a great job. No job is too small for them. I would recommend them for any size paint job. Whether it's indoor or outdoor they will get the job done! read more

Ray and his team are a very experienced team. They are knowledgeable at what they do and do great work. Great customer service and great work. They painted the inside of my mothers house and she was very pleased. I would highly recommend them. read more

Raymond was amazing! He knew that we had a time frame and gaurenteed that it would be finished and it was. He is professional, kind and cleaned up after himself. We've had many painters over the years and he is by far the best. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any interior or exterior painting done. read more

Ray and Dave were great to work with and are going to be my regular go-to's for painting. They painted an outside trellis, three sides of the exterior of the house (including scraping damage from an invasive vine), and then came into the home to paint trim and two large rooms. Excellent work, always early and on time, seamless communication, wore masks, and billed efficiently. I cannot say enough about them. The final work is flawless. read more

Ray was very responsive and professional. He came in, went around the house and gave a very accurate quote. Jose came on time on the day of the job. He was thoroughly professional too and got the job completed in record time and it was done very well! Definitely highly recommend their service! read more

10 stars would not be enough for the quality of Ray Gil's work. I RARELY write reviews but I'm just over the moon about the work Ray and his assistant, David did in my home. From prep work to extra touch-ups not included in his (very fair) bid, to exceptional communication and promptness (NEVER showing up late), I cannot praise him enough. My entire kitchen, including cabinets has been rescued and beautifully transformed into a beautiful space. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ray! read more
