I am so happy with my new white kitchen! When my husband and I bought our house back in 2014, he…read morereally liked the house because it had a pool, but I wasn't so enthused because I didn't like my cherry brown kitchen. After many years of research, I finally decided 2024 is the year I'm going to get my white kitchen.
Before I hired Paintura, I had gotten about 10 different quotes. I learned a lot about paint and I was also equally confused as to who I should hire. A lot of contractors seemed nice, some seemed more knowledgeable than others, some were plain expensive and out of my budget.
Nevertheless, I was tired of getting quotes and decided that Friday was going to be my last appointments and I was going to make a decision that weekend. I had an appointment with the owner of Paintura (Nico) on Friday and right before our appointment, he texted me to let me know he had gotten a flat. Knowing he was traveling from Costa Mesa to Eastvale, I thought immediately he wasn't going to come. To my surprise, he showed up an hour later than the scheduled time but he still came, despite of the circumstances. Immediately, I had a good feeling about him. Nico seemed knowledgeable and friendly, and out of all the painting contractors I had met, he was the only one who brought a measuring tape and actually took measurements (!!) He said this was to ensure he didn't under or over charge me. He answered all my questions and I was also happy to hear that he was going to use Centurion 2k paint (if you don't know what this is, please check it out, it's the best paint!) He gave me a quote that was more than reasonable (no, it wasn't the cheapest but it was very reasonable if you take into account the cost of 2k paint). Because of a previous bad experience with a contractor, I made sure I looked over the contract and had him reflect changes on the contract that we had discussed in person. He was patient with me and made sure I was comfortable with the contract. I also got a discount because I was willing to wait 3 weeks. While I waited, Nico connected me with a designer from Sherwin Williams, and I had fun picking out my colors with the designer's help (I decided on doing white on the cabinets and gray on the island)
Last week, Nico and his crew came out and repainted my kitchen cabinets. His crew Bailey, Martin and Oscar were courteous and respectful while inside my home and they worked efficiently to get the job done. Even though it was inconvenient to not have my kitchen for about a week, I appreciated the fact that they carefully covered and masked the area, so there wasn't too much dust. They also cleaned up before they left, so there wasn't too much I had to clean up, besides the usual vacuuming and mopping of the countertops. Throughout the process, I was always able to reach Nico via text or phone calls - I didn't feel like I was just a number to them.
Now that the work is done, I'm amazed how much bigger my kitchen looks. Nico and crew are true professionals - I'm satisfied with the result. 10/10 will recommend! Thank you Paintura
P.S. it is also worth noting that Nico is a Raiders fan and Bailey is from Philly, so an Eagles fan. We are diehard niners fans. I think this is my only encounter in life where I liked raiders and eagles fans
