Tim and Felipe previously painted my entire house exterior. I couldn't be more pleased. It still looks great. They work efficiently and clean up any messes. I used them again to paint my steps. Great job again. They take into consideration your wishes and are patient. Tim is excellent with color consultation. This might be the best contractor experience I've had. I recommend them highly. read more

Good quality work at a fair price. Also, they completed it much more quickly than I had expected. I'll use them again next time I need painting. Joe Garrett read more

Yay for Tim Roemer Painting. We just had the exterior of our house painted. After two weeks our house sparkles and shines again. Walls, all trim, doors, windows, gutters, all look crisp and perfect. Tim was prompt with his proposal. His bid was reasonable. His company is licensed, with current insurances and workers comp. Lorren, his right hand and estimator, was great to work with, knowledgeable, always reachable, and it looks like he will also replace two of our Marvin windows. He was prompt with getting paint matched and providing everything his crew needed. He checked in twice daily to monitor quality and progress. We had a two-man crew - the best painters I have ever worked with. They were thorough in their prep, incredible in their detail and ready with solutions. They arrived every day promptly at 8am. They cleaned and stored everything as they worked and at the end of the day. Brushes and equipment are cleaned off site. Their brushes carefully wrapped and taken with them. Leonel, the foreman with 25 plus years experience, and Juan, went the extra mile(s), their cheerful, respectful presence was a huge gift to us. We looked forward to their arrival every day. We will ask them back for future paint jobs. read more

Left a message last week to paint a whole house exterior. No call back, no communication. Nothing. if they were interested, at least make up an excuse. read more

Five stars and five reasons why my husband and I appreciated Tim, Felipe and the artists who work under their management. I call them artists because they understood the delicacy of painting and to some extent restoring an old victorian home. We own a 3-story victorian, a duplex...3 colors and complex details. 1. They were timely with bid (which was a lot of $, but totally competitive with the other painters who were willing to give us bids. Many weren't willing to give bids...the job was so massive). They were timely with start and finish time each day and worked fast, so the scaffolding could come down within the month we had paid for. 2. They were respectful of the property and cleaned up each day. We have tenants who live in our duplex with little kids, they never felt the grounds around our house were overly messy or unsafe. The guys washed all the exterior windows after the paint job. 3. Their scraping and prepping was thorough. They also did a bit of carpentry, replacing siding where some of ours had buckled under the sun/rain. 4. The paint job itself is high quality and Tim is guaranteeing the job for 10 years! I'm hoping it works to post a photo of the house here...so ya'll can see the final result. 5. Reason 5. We like working with the company overall. Well organized, clear communication, flexibility (when my tenant who works from home needed to be on the phone, they sanded on the other side of the house and only painted the door when it was convenient for her.) Oh...it says that I live in Lakewood, but I actually live in Berkeley and our house is in Berkeley as well. To set that record straight. read more

Tim and his team prepped and painted the exterior of our new home, and we couldn't be happier. Our experience with Tim has been amazing - starting with the estimate process. We initially obtained estimates from three companies (including Roemer Painting). Tim's professionalism, responsiveness, and transparency made our decision a no-brainer. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, and Tim was more than happy to talk us through the entire process and timeline in great detail. Tim outlined a timeline and fee schedule from Day 1 and did not deviate from what we agreed on. Moreover, Tim and his team's attention to detail is impeccable. Everything down to the trim, door detail and patio was done carefully and beautifully. Our home is stucco and had not been painted for many (many) years. The amount of attention spent on the prep process - i.e. sealing cracks in cement, touching up wood chips, etc.- could not have been better (or more appreciated!). Finally, Tim and his entire team were friendly and professional. Everyone on site was attentive and happy to speak with us regarding questions, comments, etc. They were also very sweet about our very curious dachshund walking through their work space (time and time again). We could not be happier with the entire process and, especially, the final product! We will use Roemer Painting for ALL projects (both interior and exterior) we undertake in our new home. Thank you Tim! read more

Tim's team led by Felipe were professional, polite, tidy and generally wonderful to work with from start to finish. The exterior painting of our 1905 Edwardian house in Berkeley looks amazing. Not an easy task given the age of our wood clapboard house. The team invested the hard work of sanding, patching, priming then sanding and patching again before painting. They were considerate and clean, tidying every evening. Looking at our house makes me happy and neighbors have stopped by to comment on what a terrific paint job we have. Thank you Tim! read more

This review is not based on the quality of their painting, but rather on their lack of respect for my time. I'm a working mom, and took work off one morning so they could come over an give an estimate for a painting job we were hoping to start soon. We scheduled a week in advance. They canceled one hour in advance. I have immense respect for other people's time, and I expect people to have respect for mine as well. This was not the case here. Very disappointed. read more

Roemer Painting is just awesome. We used them for a very large, complicated interior job. Lots of different accent colors, many walls cracked or water damaged, big holes in the walls where old heating vents used to be, etc etc. Some walls had to be stripped down to the studs and rebuilt. And now, everything looks lovely. So, while there might be other decent painters around, if you have serious carpentry needs as we did, these guys are the best. They even discovered a basement leak of which we were unaware, and spent considerable time diagnosing and suggesting how to fix it. Above and beyond the call duty. Tim, the owner, is an upbeat guy and very accommodating with the timing, so that we were able to plan a trip for the most disruptive phase of the work (painting the kitchen). For the rest of the job, we stayed at home (even working at home!) and they were flexible about working around us. All in all we were very pleased, and we're looking forward to using them again for the exterior in a couple months. read more

It was clear to me that Roemer Painting was a cut above the competition from the outset. Tim Roemer carefully assessed my needs and proposed solutions to aesthetic and structural problems that other painters said they couldn't do anything about. He gave me an estimate within a few days, and it happened to be thousands of dollars less than the others I received. His team was friendly, neat, responsive, and highly skilled. Any concerns I raised were addressed immediately and with a great deal of care and concern. Finally (and most importantly): the results are GORGEOUS. I had only had my house painted once before, and it was done quickly and carelessly. Having truly skilled painters on the job has made a world of difference. Friends and neighbors are astonished by the change, and I've already given Tim's name and number out to several people. An absolutely wonderful experience. read more

Roemer painting is as good as it gets and I cannot give enough stars to Tim, (the owner), and the job his crew did. I ended up in a huge mess when I hired another company to paint my house. I vetted them as general contractors, but didn't realize that you needed a separate license to paint. The utter disaster and damage they did to my house cannot be overstated. Enter Tim Roemer - a paint superhero. Not only did he walk into a complete mess, he did it with a positive, professional attitude and calm demeanor--something I very much appreciated. He was open and honest about pricing, the time it would take, and even offered to be a witness on my behalf should I need to take the previous company to court to recover damages. As an aside: I was pretty upset about having hired the previous company and was blaming myself for the mess we were in. Tim's UC Berkeley Psychology degree kicked right in when he quickly helped me see that I was not to blame. (Thanks again, Tim!) Most importantly, the paint job - I cannot possibly say how happy I am. The house is a lovely old bungalow in North Berkeley with some sweet architectural details that I wanted to highlight with color. I also had contrast walls and there are built-ins--all things that can be challenging if you aren't an experienced painter. Tim's crew were consummate professionals and FAST! I watched them paint for a few minutes and was completely impressed with how quickly and professionally they plied their craft. I don't know if you have ever tried to cut in a corner wall (I've tried and failed miserably), but these guys kept straight lines right to the corner without getting paint on the other wall--it was pretty wonderful to watch. (I always appreciate good craftsmanship and his crew has it). At one point, Tim messaged me to say that one of the colors selected for the panels in the kitchen just wasn't looking the way he thought I wanted it to. He sent me a photo, and I had to agree with him-he was very diplomatic about it--the word I ended up using to describe it was "heinous"! :) He made a suggestion, and by then, I trusted his judgement. It turned out to be spot on. Many painters would have just gone ahead and painted, no matter how it looked. Tim takes great pride in his work and cares enough about the customer and his work to want to ensure that the customer will be happy looking at the finished paint job far into the future. I am at this very moment sitting in my beautifully painted home and smiling--VERY happy. Hire Tim. You will never ever regret it. read more

Tim Roemer and his team are so professional, experienced, careful, attentive to detail, prompt, pleasant to work with that it was a pleasure having them at my house. They painted the exterior and much of the interior of my 100+ year old house and it looks fantastic! Tim's quote was the best by far of the three estimates I got before starting, and he delivered on time and more than promised. read more

I'm not one to write reviews, but Tim Roemer and his team (Robert and Norman) just finished painting our house in Oakland and they were EXCELLENT. They were completely professional - showed up on time every day, the team was clean and very respectful of our house and belongings. They would point out things they didn't have to and offer to fix it, making more work for themselves - for example, the ceiling in our dressing room was a different sheen from the walls (we weren't repainting the ceilings) and the offered to change it for us when that wasn't in the contract. And they were just really nice guys - they were nice to our kids and dogs. Most contractors don't like the dogs! Tim gave us a great bid - was much cheaper than our other quotes. And the payment was not a cent more than his quote. Sometimes with these contractor jobs, the price magically increases as you progress through the project. I recommend them without reservation. read more

Not sure why they're even on Yelp as it doesn't seem like they need any business. I sent them request for a quote to paint my house and without even asking me when I was looking to do the job, they responded saying that they are booked "for this time." Which time? I asked. No response... Don't waste your time reaching out to these people. read more

Tim Roemer just finished painting our two story 4 plex on the outside. First of all I gave him a very short window to work in and he came thru for me. I met him for a quote and he was on time and had a bid back to me that evening. He was professional and honest. The paint job looked even better than I hoped. Tim helped me pick the colors and it was just what I wanted. I don't think you could do any better than this company. i got three other bids and none of them went into the detail of what really needed to be done. I felt good about hiring him from the start. read more

Just want to add my 2¢ to the other glowing reviews on this site. Tim is a personable guy who responded to our request for bid immediately & was able to schedule much earlier than he estimated. The bid was detailed & accurate, & the crew was extremely competent & responsive to any issues we raised during the job. Their work is organized & efficient & everyone on his crew was absolutely pleasant to have around for a couple of weeks. Their prep work is thorough & we got a full range of options for paint products to apply. Their cleanup is thorough at the end of every day. They made significant repairs on 2 sides of the house, & somehow were able to erect scaffolding in a space much too narrow for it. Tim has a large crew that's competent in carpentry as well as prep work and painting. He ain't cheap, but it's been several months now since the job was completed & we have no buyer's remorse at all. The place looks great. Several of the photos on this Yelp listing as of this date (November 2019) are from our place (cedar shingle + blue-green trim). read more

Tim the owner is a gentleman and his whole team are all professional to the highest standards. I've been in the real estate business for over 25 years investing and constantly remodeling. We are very happy with the whole process and Tim is professional and easy going for any changes or ideas that come up. He is really helpful and you feel he wants to help you out, that makes the project feel fun instead of stressful. We are also glad to work with Roemer Painting for our project in Albany since they are local. I will definitely work with Roemer Painting in the future and I'm recommending him to all my friends in the business. read more

Recommend emphatically and without hesitation! Tim Roemer is the salt of the earth, and the interior of our house is beautiful! They did wonders with an old Oakland Hills house that had A LOT of challenges. The crew was on-time, polite, and always left everything very clean each evening. We were in a big time crunch, and Tim's guys worked solid for 9 or 10 days to complete the interior before our moving trucks rolled in. Tim's bid was lower than others', and he delivered precisely what he promised and on time. His guys also did quite a few extra things for us that were patching and light-construction tasks. Tim is responsive when you need him, and all-around solid guy. I'm so glad we found him. read more

Tim was wonderful to work with. He was the first to get me his quote soon after he inspected my home. I had to chase after some of the other painting companies to get their quotes in. Tim was clear with what needed to be done and he knew what he was talking about. His team arrived everyday and was polite and on time and very considerate of my living space. They cleaned up well after themselves and did not leave a big mess. My home looks wonderful now and it was done on time and within budget. The job is top notch. I think one of the best things for me was that Tim was prompt in his email replies when I had some questions. I really appreciated that and I think it went a long way to make me feel secure that any issues that I had would be promptly managed. Thanks Tim. Anyone that I know needs their home/business painted - I'll be sure to pass along your name. Work with him - you won't be sorry. read more
