TLDR: easiest decision, hire Mr. Seong Park…read more I recently called Mr. Seong Park I think on a Thursday night, asking for what I thought was a simple touch up job before we moved into a new place, and thinking I already had the paint. He offered to come by on Saturday (1.5 days later!). He showed up early, gave me two quotes and explained the pros and cons of each, and then ensured the paint I had on hand was the right color before I went to get more. He also removed a TV wall mount, patched it perfectly, and taped several cracks in the drywall. And then the job got way more difficult. I went to go get more paint matched, which took awhile, and when I came back he started painting and it was clear it did not match. He then went to a paint specialist, went through 5 rounds of paint matching before he was satisfied, and came back to proceed with not just touching up but essentially repainting the entire house so that it was uniform in color. What he thought was going to only take a couple hours kept him there the entire day. On top of that, after working an entire day, he asked if he could come back the next morning for one more coat because he wasn't satisfied with the job yet! When I came back in the morning he had finished, cleaned up thoroughly, stored my paint, and installed an outlet cover I had bought. The job totally evolved and at no point did he complain, much less ask for more money to complete it. He did an amazing job, very thorough, and our home now looks brand new. I could not be more happy to highly recommend that you hire him for any paint needs! He was courteous, kind, respectful, and did an amazing job. Easiest decision ever - we'll be going to him for any paint needs in the future!

We're juggling post-lead and asbestos remediation, renting a place 40 minutes away, working full-time, and caring for a young child. Coordinating multiple estimates at once isn't a luxury for us, it's a necessity. At no point did Seong mention that he has an issue with clients getting more than one quote. Instead of being upfront about his "one-contractor only" expectation, he chose to waste our time and walk away on the spot. It came across as unprofessional, inflexible, and dismissive of our situation. If you consider hiring Seong, make sure you ask very clearly about his attitude toward competing bids and your time. Based on our experience, I would not rely on him for anything that requires basic respect, communication, or professionalism.

Luis did a great job on a tricky exterior stucco repair on a rooftop patio. The recent heavy rain…read morein LA at the beginning of the year revealed a bad leak at an exterior wall corner that led to deterioration of the substrate to the point where water was entering the house. The exterior wall and substrate needed to be rebuilt correctly and sealed properly so the leak wouldn't reoccur. Luis was clear about the scope and communicated well throughout. He handled the prep the right way (paper/lath, corner and bottom section repair, sealing/flashing details, etc.) and then applied the stucco in stages. The finish came out clean and professional. What I appreciated most: Luis is detail-oriented and cared about getting the final look right. He didn't just paint the new wall -- he also painted a pre-existing, adjoining wall so the color match would be seamless. The blend came out excellent and the whole area now looks intentional, not like a patch. Fair pricing, solid workmanship, great attention to detail and follow-through. I'd hire Luis again and highly recommend him for stucco work.

We hired Luis before the end of the year to stucco an addition we added to our home. He installed…read morethe chicken wire and metal lath for inspection, and the project passed on the first visit. He then completed the scratch coat, brown coat, and finalized everything with a sand finish that matched our existing stucco perfectly. Throughout the entire project, the process was smooth and stress-free. Luis was very easy to talk to, and his communication was thorough at every phase of the job. We always knew what was happening and what to expect next. I would definitely recommend Luis to anyone looking for quality stucco work.

The carpenters also had an attitude and put in some new window sills that were cracked. They never responded to me to fix the issue. They do not guarantee their work.

I also heard one guy cursing under his breath in spanish while working. Like they had this unwillingness to work. Very unprofessional. I still have to go back and paint things that were missed after paying over $8,000. Do not recommend!

I reached out in Yelp and spoke directly to Mario and went over the various projects I was looking to commence. One of the top priorities was a staircase. Mario stated stairs were his "forte". He scheduled to come by Monday to measure and give a quote. On Monday he texted after the time he was supposed to come to our home. He stated he left the area without giving a quote. Strike one . He texted he would be in the area the next day to meet with my husband. My husband moved around his schedule to make the appointment happen. Mario arrived, took measurements and left . I followed up for the next 3 days for quotes. He claimed he was waiting to hear back from various people. On Friday I still had not received a quote amd stated that I wanted to make a decision by Monday. Mario replied sorry can't give a quote by Monday everyone is too busy thank you for your time. I inquired regarding what people he was waiting to hear back from since he claimed his company handled all the jobs I was interested in. Mario shockingly replied that he would be subcontracting all the work. Really? That is not what you stated in our initial conversation. In fact, you stated it was your "forte". Why would I give a stranger access to my home and let him in if he could not even provide the services or a quote. The entire debacle wasted my extremely valuable time. Further, my husband missed partial work to let him in to get these useless measurements. The entire thing was a sham. I am not even sure he is a licensed contractor and not someone trying to take inventory to rob homes. Extremely sketchy!!!!!!

So these guys stopped by my house in April 2015 as they were doing work in the neighborhood. We asked them for an estimate for the exterior, and they were priced lower than any other estimates we had gotten. The owner ( john) and his sons came by personally and walked us through the process. We agreed on a price, and a few days later, as promised, their team came and got started. The crew that did the painting was polite and worked really fast. Fast forward to a year later, and we notice a spot where the paint is peeling. I called the owner and left him a message telling them what was going on. I honestly didn't expect anything, but I figured it was worth a shot. He returned my call the next day. He told me that he would come look at it, and that he would make it right. The next day his son John Jr came. He saw the spot, told me that it looked like the primer hadn't dried enough before it was painted over, and apologized for it. I also told him about a spot that was missed, because a year ago there had been a shed which blocked access to an exterior wall. He said no problem he would fix the part that was peeling, AND on their own dime, would buy paint to do the part of the wall that was now exposed and unpainted. Within an hour it was all done. Such nice guys, they stick by their work and make themselves available if you need them. Highly recommend them!

John obviously knows his craft and is able to convey what your options are without any sort of pressure or upselling. He came out, gave us a competitive bid and walked through the entire process. His family has been in the painting business for several generations and it definitely shows. As for our work, he was able to give us a all inclusive contract that included some repairs we needed as well as some extra items we had on our wish list. The payment system was absolutely reasonable and assured us that we didn't have to worry about someone taking all our money and then not showing up. His team showed up on time, performed the work skillfully and respectful of our property. John was there throughout the day everyday to ensure everything was being done to his standards as well as our preferences. We received daily updates as to progress and where we were in the process. We were very impressed with the team as they worked very hard each day in less than ideal weather conditions. The last day we were given a chance to do a walk around the property and have any touchups performed prior to them leaving. With that being said, they are super diligent at checking over their work but as John put it, "as many eyes as possible" is better for a great result. We can whole heartedly recommend the team at John Keith Painting for your paint projects!
