    Original paint on 22 year old house.
    Judi M.

    The owner Emmanuel dropped off his flyer advertising exactly on the day that I had to decide who I was going to hire to paint our house. He came out to quote our attached house in a professional manner and included specific details. My neighbor and I had to work with our HOA for approval of paint colors, it took weeks so he was very patient waiting.. His crew showed up every day on time keeping the property clean. They are a courteous group of guys. Before and after pictures of our house is amazing. The crew spent the last day touching up and looking over their work. 3 paint colors on house, stucco and fascia's plus metal gate. The quote was very reasonable. We did not go over the estimate cost of the project. His price was true to quote. I even asked for additional work the last day and he was able to accommodate a lacquer finish on my stonework. I recommend this company. He is knowledgeable and very responsive to text messages and questions. Also a great bonus he took drone shots of the house before, during, and after it is an incredible upgrade to have. "Proper Painting" at the end of work on my property cleaned up taking all the trash with him. Many thanks. Judi and Steve. Brea CA.

    Before

    I cannot recommend Proper Painting enough! The owner responded quickly with a quote that was more than reasonable. He was able to match my wallpaper to find the correct paint color, and he finished the job efficiently with absolutely no problems. I am in love with my new bathroom. I will definitely be using this business again very soon.

    Wow, Where do I begin! Emmanuel and his team from proper painting did a fantastic job painting my entire home and back patio! Emmanuel was very professional, kept in constant communication about executing my vision! They did a wonderful job and was reasonably priced! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I would recommend anyone looking for their home to be painted to use Emmanuel and his team from proper painting! You get everything you ask for and more! Thanks

    Proper Painting did a great job on our new house. They took our dark grey walls and dark yellow walls from the previous owner and now they're a beautiful white. My wife loves the new fresh paint color and all the dark colors were painted over with premium paint to ensure full color block and coverage. The staff was professional and clean. We stopped by a couple times during the paint and all the non painted areas were well covered and protected with paper and/or plastic to ensure paint only went where it needed. They were able to get the job faster than the competing contractor. Highly recommend giving Emmanuel and Proper Paining a shot on your paint needs. They also did a great job with the walls that had to be repaired due to the previous owner not installing doorstops and there were a few walls with door knob sized holes.

    I didn't know how much work goes into painting an entertainment center. But I could definitely tell Emmanuel knew what he was doing and was able to help me understand the process very easy. The day he started the job him and his team were in time, an carefully covered my floors and furniture to protect them. Throughout the process I was able to see how they wouldn't cut corners to just try to get the job done faster but did everything according to how he had previously explained it to me. I recommend them highly to anyone, specially if you have no experience with other painting projects because Emmanuel will answer any question you may have. I will be hiring them from now on for all my painting projects, Proper Painting is worth every penny!

    Emmanuel, and his team are amazing! I highly recommend them. If there was a sixth star shoot I'll give that to him and his team too! Thats how much i appreciate them. First, off due to my busy schedule I had to keep rescheduling the meeting with Emmanuel to do a rough estimate on what it would take to paint a 3 story town home. Like four times. He was super patient on meeting up with me and my significant other. During the walk through Emmanuel, let us know roughly how many days it would take to paint, water pressure, prep work, 3 different types of rates for basic paint and top notch painting, or with us buying pain ourselves and them doing the painting and prep work. Finally, when the schedule came to painting Emmanuel and the team arrived early\on time to do the prep work and water pressure. They made sure everything/anything that might get wet or get paint on they covered it professionally. They worked their gluteus off during the hot weather roughly around 90 degrees in California doing our house. Amazing work guys. Can't thank you and your team enough Emmanuel. Cant wait to have your team return and do our kitchen!

    We recently had the exterior of our home painted for the first time since purchasing it. We had a lot of questions and even made a color change once seeing it starting to be applied and Emmanuel was more than willing to answer all our questions and stop so we can choose a different color more to our liking. They also did a hand applied paint wash for our brick raised beds and fireplace which turned our great. Workers were thorough and polite. Very happy with the work and our home looks great. Would definitely recommend!

    We recently had the exterior of our house painted and we are beyond pleased!! Emmanuel and his crew were top notch painters. They completely sanded and prepped my house and knew exactly what they needed to do. We are very happy with the experience we had with Proper Painting. If you are looking for quality these are your guys!!!

    Emmanuel and his Proper Painting crew were amazing! This was the first time we used them, but we will use them again for sure! Diligent, excellent communication, on-time, good pricing, honest, and reliable. Proper Painting has an excellent eye for color. Their portfolio of projects is impressive and we appreciated their helpful painters eye for color on our project. Neat and clean painters! They painted our front door, inside and out, and the hardware as well...professionals! Their touch-up at the end of the project was spectacular as well, MUCH appreciated, making sure all of the details were all taken care of. Would 1,000% recommend this company...0 regrets, and very satisfied with our end result!

    This is the fourth or fifth time I have hired South Coast to paint at our house. On previous…read moreoccasions, Jason's team painted the interior, exterior, and patio cover for us. This time, I hired them to paint the shed, wrought iron patio furniture, kitchen cupboards, kitchen table and chairs, bar stools, and a corner cupboard. As always, Jason was responsive in communicating, competitive in pricing, professional in his dealings with me, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. I have recommended him to by neighbor as well who was absolutely thrilled with the exterior paint job Jason's team provided.

    Once again, another stellar job by Jason, Manuel, Max, & Benito. This job, in my mind, was a huge…read morechallenge. This was a multi Duplex rental property with occupants. Which means you run the risk of running into various levels of opinion and emotional impact due to the constant imposition of work impacting their usual day to day living situation. This job had high maintenance neglect from the previous duplex owner. Most likely, hadn't been painted in 30 years, possibly more. As with most structural neglect, there were issues with wood rot, termite damage and various degrees of stucco degradation. Jason's team was up for the task. There were tense moments, but Jason was calm (at least around me, haha) and handled little flare ups. Jason was up front regarding damage found and was detailed in explaining how his crew would address issues. This took a month due to the amount of damage repair, prep work and finally paint. Jason's crew made this duplex come from a tired eyesore into the quaint mid century cottages that they were meant to represent. Like always, Jason's crew cleaned up the worksite everyday. Made sure things like paint chips and debris were picked up nightly. For the quality and long lasting results that South Coast Painting provides, it's worth every penny spent. You can get cheaper bids, but know that some companies thin out their paint for a lower materials cost. If you want your paint job to last 3 years vs 8-12, that's your choice. My house was painted 9 years ago by South Coast Painters, and there is no peeling or fading. Even on black painted shutters. Personally I don't want my home painted once every 1/2 decade.

    Chris and his team did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our very large home. It was a…read morecomplicated project and he had to work in tandem with a contractor replacing our entire roof. Everyone was nice, professional and courteous. Chris delivered what he promised and didn't gouge me for change orders. He finished the job on time and within our budget. He was easy to work with and the quality of the work speaks for itself. Our home looks brand new and even better than the day we moved in after building the house nearly 17 years ago. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend hiring this team for your next project.

    1-star for an attempted mid-job bait-and-switch…read more Revive and Refinish gave us a written quote for a fixed price, which we signed based on the stated scope. They arrived late, removed our doors, and sanded some of them. Then, after work had already started, the painter on site said the existing paint required more sanding than expected and that there was suddenly an issue with the original quote. At that point, no clear additional price was given on site, and no one from the company proactively contacted me. I had to call them myself, and only then was I told by Jack that the job would cost an additional $1,300. That is not how a professional company should operate. Their written scope already included prep and painting, and sanding/prep were discussed from the beginning. If the price was truly conditional, that should have been clearly disclosed before we signed. It was not. Instead, they started the job, removed our doors, and only raised a pricing issue after work was already underway. There was no written change order, no revised estimate, and no approval from us before the project stopped. Once we refused to proceed under those circumstances, they reinstalled everything and refunded our deposit, which was appropriate -- but that does not excuse how the job was handled. At least one door was reinstalled improperly, there was an exposed hinge cutout/mortise left on the door edge, and visible patch/filler material was left on the door jamb and trim near the latch/strike area. The doors were not returned in their original condition. This was not a clean reset. It wasted our time, disrupted our home, and forced us to restart the project with another company. We obtained multiple additional quotes, all lower than their original quote, and now have another company scheduled to complete the work this week for less than what Revive and Refinish originally quoted us. The actual painters themselves were polite and professional. The real issue was the estimate, the communication, and raising a pricing issue only after work had already begun. As reflected in my review history, I do not leave negative reviews lightly. Be careful. Update after Owner response: Your response actually reinforces my main concern. You stated you continued working based on an "understanding" that the additional work was approved. That is exactly the issue. If extra work is needed, the price should be clearly provided and explicitly approved before continuing -- not assumed mid-project. My husband only spoke to a painter and was never given a price, I had to text you to get that information. We specifically pointed out the prior paint job on the doors during the estimate because we were already concerned about it. Your representative looked at them, took photos, and had the opportunity to identify or at least flag any potential prep issues before work began. If this is a known possibility that can significantly affect the scope and price, then a qualified painter should be involved during the estimate. That is exactly why we scheduled estimates with multiple companies and set aside time for your company to properly evaluate the project before work began. That is the entire purpose of an estimate. Your response also highlights a deeper issue with your system: if conditions that can significantly affect scope and price are only "discovered" after work begins, then your estimates and contracts are clearly not as reliable as customers are led to believe. Without having a qualified painter involved during the estimate, this same mid-project price increase issue could easily happen again to future customers. Unexpected conditions can happen, but that does not excuse poor communication or proceeding without a properly documented change order. My husband was not given a clear additional price upfront before work continued, and that should never happen on a professionally managed project. No reasonable customer would be comfortable with a $1,300 mid-project price increase after already signing a contract -- especially when the work then leaves the home in worse condition than it was before. Future customers should absolutely be aware of that.

    We worked with Mark and his team to get our house painted and it was honestly a really great…read moreexperience. The house had not been painted since before we bought it 10 years prior, and the paint it had on it when we bought was already not great.we had a ton of dry rot, sections poorly filled with bondo by the prior owner, and old termite damage that had been filled with bondo. We did our due diligence and got several quotes. The painting quote itself was in line with most of the quotes we got, not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive. However a few things really stood out to me. First, All of the other quotes seemed to not actually include the cost of any of the fascia boards being replaced. 1 quote wouldn't touch them, 2 others said they would but on the actual quotes it just said "repair and fill with bondo". Mark was the only one who was straight forward. He said " look, idk what it's gonna be exactly and we won't know till we power wash, but in my experience based on what I'm seeing, you should budget an extra X amount for just wood replacement." When I called and asked the other companies I got quotes from that would repair paint they were weirdly cagey on this. In the end, we did infact need more wood replaced than what was originally planned for but the final product was well worth it. Which takes me to the other point. When it came time to finalize exactly what pieces needed to come down and the extra cost of the unplanned rotted wood, he gave us options. Options that included places we could forgoe a change in one area to balance the cost of the wood replacement in another. He didn't try to sell us on anything unnecessary, or weirdly extravagant either. He gave recommended paint colors based on what he painted his own house and gave advice on how to best pick the colors we wanted. Once we got into the project his team took over and were a pleasure to work with. They were hyper responsive to texts and calls and questions, and fixed things or helped adjust stuff as needed. For example we wanted a very specific color for the front door (Tardis Blue) and they got it custom matched for us. A few small places where I noticed something that needed a quick adjustment that I called or texted them for was fixed the next time I looked. They moved all of our outdoor furniture, grills, etc and put everything back exactly as it was when they started. They didn't leave any trash or mess as is often the case with multi day home reno projects. In all, the project took 2 days longer than originally anticipated but we had more work than anticipated. All in all, the experience was good enough for us that we ended up hiring them to do some painting of our interior doors that we just had replaced, and we'll likely keep them in mind the next time we need any painting.

These guys drove from the Corona/Riverside area to our home daily and showed up on time. We felt the pricing was fair for the size of our home, and the overall value for the work done was excellent. For only two painters, they were able to complete the work in the timeframe we were quoted, which was great. However, there were a few communication and cleanup issues that prevented this from being a 5-star experience. As a military family, we were grateful for the military discount provided by the project manager, Fermin. He was highly professional, communicative, and even included a few complimentary touch-ups, like refreshing our light fixtures and painting the side garage door.  Unfortunately, property care at the end of the project fell short. The crew removed our security camera bases to ensure an even paint job but didn't notify us where they were placed. We had to search our yard and eventually found them stashed inside our outdoor cat house and a flower bed. Additionally, the side garage door weatherstripping was removed for painting and left off. Even if the crew intentionally left it off to allow the paint to dry completely, failing to communicate that instruction to us, left us to figure it out and reinstall it ourselves.  The painting itself deserves praise, and the project manager provided our full paid receipt and warranty information as requested. However, better attention to detail regarding communication and final cleanup is needed. We were happy to support a business in the Inland Empire.
