Clif Jones crew painted our house 2 years ago. I have been feeling guilty for not writing a review…read moresooner. His crew was very professional and well managed. I was on site when they were painting. They employed no shortcuts. I had put in new baseboards and casements and their caulking job made my work look like a factory finish (I used poplar that needed to be primed and had unprimed solid wood doors). In the last two years I have lived with their job and found absolutely no flaws. The crew was punctual and seemed to enjoy their work. Any I corrections I made (very few of these) were quickly attend to. I wanted (and paid for ) a high end paint job and that's what I received. I need another property painted and I'm going back to Clif.

In the winter of 1999 we used McCloskey to paint the interior of our house (1200 sq ft.). In the…read moresummer of 2000 McCloskey painted the exterior of our house. When it came time to repaint the interior in the fall of 2015, remembering the excellent jobs done 15 years ago, we asked McCloskey to submit a bid along with 2 other firms. Their bid was in the middle but prior positive experience was far more important than even a reasonable savings in $$. What has changed in these years is that Mr. McCloskey has retired and sold the company to his long-time supervisors, the Reyes brothers and their brother-in-law. Armando Reyes who is mentioned in other reviews is the front man and estimator. We used quite a bit of color in this year's job and the guys were also contracted to completely clean and finish all wooden kitchen cabinets and 3 sets of wooden bi-fold doors and their frames. A condition of getting the job (we're senior citizens) was that we would take down absolutely nothing nor would we move anything whatsoever. We agreed to move out of the house with our 2 dogs for a week so the job could move along rapidly. The house was completed in 5 days; we moved back in; the team came back and corrected one or two spots that weren't perfect. We have not heard of other painters in the East Bay who are this highly regarded. In addition the team is extremely congenial and anxious to please the client. Too bad that Yelp doesn't offer a 6 star option.

I highly recommend them. David is super knowledgeable and gave me some color advice I hadn't considered, which really improved what I wanted to do. His crew are very friendly, experienced and trust worthy, and routinely went above and beyond what I expected of them - including moving furniture and helping with my kids! When we went away for a few days while they were working, I had no issue with giving them the key to the house and an alarm code. Quality is excellent and they are very reliable. They are my go-to painting company.

He's the real deal. How refreshing to have someone who really knows and cares about his craft…read more After buying a new home, my wife and I were surprised to find the previous owners were heavy smokers. (the house was aired out very well when viewed) There was nicotine everywhere and the smell was appalling. Although we love the house, we hated the odor and brown stains that were coming from everywhere. With 2700sf of popcorn ceiling to deal with as well as brick fireplace and grass a cloth wall, all saturated with nicotine, the sheer magnitude of the job was daunting. We consulted with several professionals. the ceilings would have to be scrapped off and refinished, the grass cloth removed, possibly along with the sheetrock and the brick, which goes from floor to ceiling on a 20' high wall was going to be a real problem. Dave Collins was referred by a friend who absolutely praised him. After one visit, a workable solution to our problem was suggested. He sprayed the entire house, ceiling bricks and grass cloth and all, with a shellac based primer. This both sealed the surface preventing the nicotine, odor and all, from leaching back into the room and protected the popcorn ceiling. He even helped select colors that worked with our furniture and life style. He provided options for complimenting trim colors. HIs crew was professional, clean and timely. We love our home and have had nothing but compliments from all who come by and see it.

Bob Swansen has my highest recommendation as both a professional painter and a trustworthy service…read moreprovider -- plus he's a really nice guy! I found him on Yelp, and he was one of three painters I invited to provide me a bid for painting the whole inside of my mother's home in the Bay Area. Not only was his price extremely competitive (but not so cheap as to make me worry about the quality of the work), but he also offered good advice on color selection and commented knowledgeably about the extensive prep work that needed to be done. Since I live in Sacramento, I had to trust that he would supervise his crew appropriately and do a good job in my absence -- and he absolutely did. The job was outstanding and was completed on the agreed-upon schedule, and they left no mess whatsoever. Of course, I was sold on him from the beginning. The day I arrived at the house to let him in so he could prepare a bid, the deadbolt was jammed and we could not get the door open. He pulled a ladder out of his truck, climbed over the side gate and came through the back door to let me in. He then pulled out his cordless drill, removed the deadbolt and set about fixing it -- all before he even had the job. I can't say enough about his kindness and his commitment to making his customers happy. It's hard to find professionals like Bob these days, so I hope this recommendation leads others to his door!

David gave valuable input on paint color, finish and timing of the job. Courteous and respectful of the fact that we were trying to move in at the same time, David was flexible about when appliances were being delivered and worked hard to paint portions of the home in a way that made our move easier. Happy to recommend David and will contact him with painting and drywall needs in the future. Laura and Chuck

In order to input our review we have to give 1 star not because it's deserved…read more We hired David to pain a home we put up for sale in Idaho because his wife was our real estate agent we assumed it would be a great job. But the cost was labor only which for Idaho was horrendous. We did t have time to get more quotes but again assumed it would be great. Many issues with his work: 1. He picked the color and painted everything the same color, walls and floor molding. I asked for two colors but was told I couldn't afford the labor to do so and it would require more time 2. Quote was for 9 days which I again assumed 8 hours a day due to the price. Wrong, I went by multiple times and was told David was the only for a couple hours a day and his sons were doing the work. Didn't hire his sons I hired David. 3. Many things were not covered so I had to clean up tons of overspray, off windows, counters, tile flooring, door knobs, light fixtures and even carpet 4. The dry wall repair was done improperly and had to have it re done in several areas. 5. Material cost for paint was for 30 gallons but I had two other paint companies come in and say 20 gallons tops. David said he had to coat the walls with 4 coats yet there were multiple missed areas. I could only account for 15 gallons used. 6. Doors were removed to be painted yet I could only see that 3 of the doors were actually painted and when out back on the door Jams many screws were missing out of the hinges. 7. He had his son pressure wash the exterior and on vinyl siding you DO NOT spray upwards it pushed water inside the siding. Also his son was too close and broke multiple items in the process. I felt I paid for class "A" work and barely got the "D" class. Lazy workmanship and we feel ripped off. I spent another three weeks fixing all the stuff that was missing or over sprayed or poorly repaired. We don't recommend this company at all. So much for assuming a class A job. I have attached just a few of the pics taken showing poor workmanship.

Of all the contractors I interviewed, Fabian seemed the most knowledgeable and offered the most useful advice. He recommended a certain stain and the place to buy it from. He's spot on that wood exposed to outdoor elements would do better with an oil based stain. He was always prompt and professional. But the quality of his work is what stands out. He sanded our door down to provide a smooth surface for the stain, took down our weatherstripping, and lined all the surfaces. His prep work was outstanding. His application of the stain was consistent with no drip or lines. He worked around all the edges perfectly. Our door came out so beautiful as you can see from the picture. It's the first impression for any of our visitors and we wanted it done perfectly and Fabian did an amazing job. And on top of all of this, his quote was one of the competitive of all the folks I interviewed. We will use Fabian again for our future painting needs.
