    Drawers before

    Jose and his team were so easy to work with. Communication was clear and they did beautiful work in the time they promised. Would definitely recommend!

    BEFORE

    Jose and his staff were timely and professional and, most importantly, turned my kitchen cabinets from the "Tuscan" maple orange wonderland they were, to beautiful, contemporary kitchen cabinets. Jose tuned up all the cabinet drawers and doors with new soft-close hinges, and worked with me to place my handles optimally. Ask him about the paint "catalyst", a small upcharged paint additive that made a huge difference in the outcome of the kitchen cabinets.

    Jose and his team are top notch. We are so appreciative of his organization, professionalism and expertise. From the very first point of contact, it was a joy to work with Jose. He and Ricardo, Vincente, and Woody are true masters of their craft. We will be referring SD Painting and Refinishing to all our friends for their cabinet refinishing projects.

    Before

    SHEER PERFECTION! Absolutely fantastic! Jose and his team (Vicente) did an AMAZING job refacing our kitchen cabinets. We are very satisfied with this company - San Diego Painting and Refinishing; VERY PROSEFESIONAL and TRUSTWORTHY; their work is very clean/timely, and high quality; plus they provide EXCELLENT customer service (super nice and respectable people). Our kitchen is 20 years old and now our kitchen looks like brand new. We love it! So, if you are thinking in refacing your kitchen cabinets, do not hesitate and give Jose a call, you will be AMAZED by the outcome. I highly recommend Jose and his team. Thanks again Jose and Vicente for your fabulous work!

    Transformation excellente

    Jose is meticulous! My kitchen refacing came out flawless. You can't even tell they were old cabinets. He found ways to save me money all along the way. He is very reasonable and is such a nice person. I genuinely appreciate him. I highly recommend Jose and I am definitely not an easy person to please.

    I had my bottom cabinets repainted. They look beautiful and I'm so happy with them! I would highly recommend this business!

    Front door with side panels - windows still masked

    We asked Jose of San Diego Painting and Refinishing to refinish the outside of our wood front door with two side panels and our wood Dutch back door. Both were in horrible shape and needed serious sanding, staining and refinishing. We collected several bids. Jose's was the most reasonable, but also the most thorough and inclusive and we liked the photos on his completed projects on his website. At the end of the day, the doors look beautiful - like new. Jose also put a few coats of finish on the inside of the back door, which was not part of the estimate, but he felt they were needed. We could not be more pleased with the work Jose and his crew did. Beyond leaving everything clean and tidy, they came exactly when they said they would and finished the work in the allotted time. We had to wait a few months for Jose to have time to do our doors, but it was well worth the wait.

    Jose and his team are amazing! They were all very polite and professional. The area was well cleaned up daily I absolutely love my refaced cabinetry. His estimate was so much less than everyone else, but I checked references and everyone loved him and his work. Even his employees were complementary of him as an employer (and teacher!). I hesitate to say this, but he could be a tad more responsive. I know he's very busy right now, but sometimes calls and texts went unanswered for days. However, when he said something would happen on a date, it happened. I have a very large kitchen and lots of cabinets - he quoted 3 days to complete and it was mostly completed (I added and changed a few things). I highly recommend them!

    I highly recommend this company! Jose and his team was very professional and really knowledgeable about their product. I was especially impressed that they were always on schedule. My bathroom cabinets were in terrible condition and was amazed that now both look brand new. Again, Thanks! Rita

    Before

    Jose and his crew did an incredible job painting my cabinets. I had him paint every cabinet in my house... the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, dining room, and media cabinet. Jose was able to get all the work done while we were on vacation and we came home to a brand new house! He went above and beyond, changing out all of the hardware on the cabinets, and even swapped out the old mesh on the media cabinet and replaced it with a rattan material that made it look amazing and modern. The paint on all the cabinets is such great quality and looks like we installed new cabinets. We have gotten so many compliments on how great it looks from everyone that comes over. I feel so lucky to have found this company and would highly recommend them to everyone!

    I want to thank Jose and his team (shout out to Vincent!) for the work they did in our home - kitchen cabinets - starting this summer. After removing all the doors and drawers ourselves and sanding them, we stopped short at painting them when we realized that this was a skill better left to a professional. We contacted Jose and he worked out a quote for painting/installing that included paint matching paint we'd already purchased and really liked the color of. Then his team got to work. In a few short days, we had a beautiful refreshed kitchen that took it from the 90's to a fresh on-trend look. Shortly after, we noticed some chipping in certain areas that didn't seem to match what Jose said to expect from the finish and so we contacted him. He responded very quickly and fixed the issue shortly thereafter, with the same professionalism and kindness we experienced the first time he was here. Jose's communication is stellar and he stands behind his work. I would highly recommend this team for your cabinet refinishing and will always refer him to others. Thanks again, Jose and Vincent!

    All I can say is O M G! I have never had such an amazing experience with any business thus far. Let's begin with the response time. I was scrolling through Yelp to find a kitchen remodel company, as I was tired of my old dated kitchen. I messaged three companies. Jose responded immediately, I was not expecting this , as I had waited weeks for responses before from other businesses. He immediately scheduled an appointment time to educate me on the process he would use, and to determine the cost of the project. He showed up punctually and explained exactly what he would be doing. I wanted to keep my wood cabinets and what he did is not just a mediocre paint job. Him and his very personable team sanded, primed, painted and sealed all my kitchen cabinets. They also did it ahead of schedule. I was so happy! They are meticulous, courteous and professional. They are so nice, in fact, that they helped my out with painting my old stairway railings and my fireplace!!! I cried tears of joy when I saw the finished project. Their price is completely fair for the quality of work they do. I highly recommend Jose and his team for your painting and refinishing needs. In fact, I will be using them again when I'm ready to refinish my bathroom cabinets. I can't wait!!!!! Thank you so much Jose, we are very happy customers!!!

    See all

We recieved a reasonable quote to have our shower refinished and another shower "fixed" after a very bad attempt to refinish that shower ourselves, which actually made us both ill from the paint fumes. It was a very difficult job. The Company sent Rennie, who showed up 10 minutes early and was ready to go to work! He not only correct the sad job we did, and made it beautiful, but he did a stellar refinish job one the other shower. As you can see in the pictures below, their work is impeccable!! We are so pleased and can't recommend Dasani's Company Tub & Tile Refinishing enough! If you ever need a refinish on your tub or tile call Dasani's - you will be glad you did!!

    Edited to remove a couple stars: Though I have carefully…read morefollowed all cleaning instructions and not used any harsh products or sponges, I noticed a small nick in the paint only a month after we got this done. We have not dropped anything on this spot to create a chip. David came back to look at it and said accidental damage was not covered in his guarantee/warranty, even though I explained my care and lack of dropping things on the surface. He said he would get a quote for the chip as well as another chip he found. Because I pressed, saying I didn't cause the damage and it should be covered, he said they would touch up the paint while they were already here and didn't charge me. I asked Sofia if I could get the name, color, and finish info of the touch up paint so I could have some on hand in case this happens again, but she said it was a licensed product unavailable to laypeople and recommended I cover it with white nail polish. So now I just have to hope and pray that nothing else happens to the tubs because I don't feel confidence that they'll cover it. They said accidental damage doesn't mean it was caused by me, but apparently it's still not covered in the warranty?? I am leaving some stars on my review because the initial work looked good, and David did work very hard. But if I was looking for a company to do a great job AND for the work to last, then I'm afraid I cannot recommend this company. Initial Review: David was so kind and thorough. He had to use a LOT of elbow grease to scrape off our old paint that a previous owner applied terribly. David updated me throughout and was up front about additional cost to add nonslip surface. The new tubs are so sparkly and shining! I got a quick response on Yelp communication, though I did not receive any reminder or instructions for how to prepare my bathroom prior to his visit.

    I hired OBR to recoat the insides of 2 tubs. Short version is I am extatically happy with the…read moreservice, results, and the discounted cash price was excellent. Long version is that both tubs were ruined by living in this house 21 years which made them dingy, my mother in law's assisted chair set up which scratched up the bottoms, and our teenagers dying their hair which set black and blue color permanently into the scratches. One tub was acrylic and the other was metal, (determined by me testing a magnet). They both looked really bad and dingy and I was pretty concerned that the metal one was bound to start rusting out with continued use. The tubs looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years even after a deep cleaning. There was no shine. I was embarrassed to have guests use the restrooms, as there's absolutely nothing you can do to hide a bathtub. So I read a lot of reviews and got a few quotes. OBR had a good price to begin with plus they offered a 10% cash discount. I also liked the idea that they were so confident about the finish not yellowing. I have a few re coated tubs in a rental property that have held up over the past 25 years but they have yellowed over time and are ugly. I'm going to invest in having OBR redo those tubs in the near future. I only needed to do the insides. The outsides still looked shiney and new. Serge recommend that I let him remove the drain kit so the white coating did not get on that metal and that gave me the opportunity to run over and buy new drain kits (for about $25 ea) and that was the finishing touch. Both tubs now look BRAND NEW and have a very glossy, almost wet, looking finish. I am thrilled with the end result and feel I most definitely made the best choice in hiring these guys. I wasnt too concerned about the potential smell but if you are, the process is indeed odorless. Serge told me it might take around 6 hours but it actually took about 4.5 hours for him to do both tubs. I had left him home while I was out and had to come back sooner than expected since he finished early, and he was very gracious waiting for me to return. The coating only takes 1 day to cure. A+ experience all the way around.
