They power washed and then painted the exterior of our home, barns, sheds, gates and more. They were professional from the first estimate to the final day of painting, and their work was of highest quality--above and beyond our expectations. We would absolutely hire them again for future projects. read more

The best of the best. I would recommend them for any job you have. Attention to detail is above and beyond!

The Painter man, Gerry, and his team did an amazing job! Very efficient and detailed. We had them paint our living room, kitchen, and bedroom, and love the finished result. Would definitely recommend their team! Thank you! read more

Top notch work! would highly recommend using The Painter Man for your next painting project.

I have used and recommended The Painter Man many times over the last 5 years and they are great every time! As a Realtor, I frequently have home sellers who have a home that needs a new look before going on the market. I have the sellers meet with Jon to discuss the process and the budget and they have provided fantastic results every time. Jon and his crew are very methodical and make suggestions many times. I can always count on them to arrive on time, clean up after themselves and most importantly, keep my clients happy while selling their home for top dollar. Yes, they paint my home too! read more

These people were the most incompetent, bizarre, and rude "painters" I have ever encountered. We had the inside and portions of our outside house painted by these people. Here are a few of the problems we experienced. 1. The initial person showed up to give us a bid reeking of alcohol. Red flag #1. 2. I provided the paint formula from a previous Valspar can from Lowe's. What they ended up painting with was some cheap Sherwin-Williams paint. Not at all what was provided. 3. On day one, the old man that was working asked for a glass of water. He said he forgot to bring water. I directed him to our refrigerator and said there was water in there. For the rest of the week, these three drank every can and bottle of soda, water, and Gatorade in the refrigerator without asking. What contractor doesn't bring their own water? 4. On about day 2, I realized the work was sloppy and inferior. I walked the project pointing out everything that needed to be fixed. They did not take the feedback well. At that point, they became unfriendly and almost hostile. 5. The kitchen cabinets were rolled with the wrong kind of roller. The crew agreed they looked horrendous. Instead of taking the doors off again, they proceeded to sand the doors in my kitchen with all of my dishes, food, glassware, and spices in the cabinets. They did not cover these items, ask to move them, or ask if they could start sanding. I ended up with paint dust everywhere and all of my food were covered. They also gouged the hardwood floor then moving furniture. 6. The work was very sloppy and these people had a complete disrespect for me, my property, and my personal belongings. There were drips and spots all over the floors, counters, and my personal belongings. The exterior paint began bubbling a week after they finished. The only reason I didn't fire them or tell them to clean up and fix everything when they were done was because I was on a strict timeline. I didn't have time to start over with a new crew. I didn't call them back to fix everything because I didn't want them back on my property. These three remind me of people that have spent time in prison. No interpersonal communication skills, or problem-solving skills. They were in a rush, did inferior work, and were unpleasant to work with or even be around. An all-around negative experience that I feel I must share in order to save any other unsuspecting people the disaster I experienced with this group. *update to response from business owner* Business owner apparently has amnesia.

First off Jon showed up right on time Friday afternoon for the appointment to estimate our inside paint job. Very polite, respectful, cordial, and wore his mask throughout his time in our home. He asked great questions to clarify, and listened to my wife as she discussed the job. He gave us a couple of things to think about. Then late Saturday the bid arrived by email. Very clear and showed that he was listening and paying attention. It was almost exactly like our other bids. While we chose a different company for our project, it was only because our neighbors knew the other company and recommended them. Or we would have chosen Jon's. Our experience with them was top notch. read more

After getting a few bids for painting the interior of our condo, we decided on The Painter Man based on the recommendation of our handyman. They were professional from start to finish and did an excellent job. When Jon came out for the estimate, I could tell right away that he knew what he was doing. He pointed out a few things that we hadn't thought of and made some suggestions to save us money. He said the project would take about seven days, and I was apprehensive about having our home being in disarray for that long. Plus we are home most of the day and I was nervous about being in the way. The last time we had painting done our place was basically uninhabitable. Well, it turned out to be fine. Jon and Gerry worked on one area at a time, so our entire house wasn't a mess, and it was easy just to go to another part of it while they were here. They showed up every day when they said they would, moved things and put them back for us, and did a great job on the painting. They are such nice people and we really enjoyed having them in our home. We were sad to see them leave when the job was completed. How nice it is to have such a positive experience with a contractor, or anyone, really. read more

My roof leaked leaving a large area of the laundry room ceiling with a stain. I had the roof fixed and the next day had Jon from the Painter Man come to give me an estimate. His quote was very reasonable and said that he could do it right away, which he did and it turned out very nice. Jon was very nice, polite and efficient. I asked him to email an estimate for the entire outside of the house. Again, I feel like I can trust this company. read more

The Painter Man, simply stated is THE MAN!! Pleasant, easy to work with and incredibly nice Gerry and his crew were absolutely the pinnacle of professionalism. Not only did they paint our entire downstairs for an incredible price Gerry offered suggestions and helpful hints that resulted in much of the interior of our home looking brand new! I HIGHLY recommend this company for any and all painting needs. read more

If you want reliable, neat, meticulous to detail and a great work ethic then the Painter Man is who you want. Gerry and his son Jon and crew are outstanding and willing to work with your schedule. We would highly recommend them. We reviewed and interviewed three other companies and there was no comparison in how rigorous Gerry was on the detail and bidding of the job. We had the entire house painted and the job was outstanding. Gerry's ability to aid in the color selection and final outcome was very helpful. We had other contractors working at our home at the same time and The Painter Man was very flexible. Do yourself a favor and check them out! Daro and Lynn Diddell Escondido read more

Gerry and his son Jon did a fantastic job painting my home. They were extremely helpful with picking out the perfect color. They were always on time and completed the work on schedule. They were fast, courteous, and ensured my 100% satisfaction with their work product. As a family owned and operated business, customer service and client satisfaction is #1 for The Painter Man. read more

We were referred to Gerry by our neighbor across the street with high praise. I had been wanting to get our cream colored ceilings painted a brighter white (darn ranch style home and it's lack of light) as well as the exterior. In an effort to get more than one quote this time for a home project, we had called one painter to come out to quote us one day, and Gerry to come quote us on the next. The one painter flaked on us (must have gotten a bigger, better deal) and so, we decided to just see what Gerry had to say when he came and if his quote was out of control, then we would consider getting another quote just to see what the "ballpark" looked like. Gerry showed up on time for the inspection and was nice and polite. He likes to joke and has one of those East Coast senses of humor. We showed him the inside of the house for the ceilings first (they were three different colors of white) and he showed us which color of white would be best and only necessitate one coat of paint (as two coats would cost more). Outside, we discussed the color of the house and the color for the trim. He talked me out of any shade of red (for the trim- even if it was tasteful) due to the fade factor. Yes, the paint has UV protection in it, but reds just won't wear well over time and would need to be repainted every 2 years rather than every 5-7 years. He also was very conscious of the neighbors on the block and the colors of their houses and making the point of not wanting to stand out like a sore thumb. He reiterated that he would paint the house any colors we wanted, but his input from his experience was wise. We had never had a house of our own painted before, so we needed some direction. After reviewing the fan deck of colors for another choice of trim and talking about the merits of each, we wrote down the colors and codes we liked and made a plan go get some pints of the paint to test them on the house before making the decision. We got the quote for the ceilings and the house about 5 days after he had been out to inspect. We had him booked about a week and a half later. The power wash was on Friday (even our sunporch that wasn't going to be painted, which was so nice). They came out on a Saturday and painted the ceilings in our house in record time (about 4 hours). The ceilings are much, much brighter and there were no drips and all of the edges were crisp and clean. Everything was treated with care and covered. They are immaculate workers. They started the outside of the house on Monday and it only took 2 days. We had a miscommunication about some trim (my fault) to be painted and the rest of the trim was done within 48 hours of my call. I would hire them again over and over. They are good, trustful guys who are respectful and walk their talk. Initially, we were worried they wouldn't want to do the job at our house because we're lesbians and they are obviously Christian men (they have a Bible verse on their business cards, and never mind that we are Christian ourselves), but they treated us with respect and gave us what I consider a very fair quote and a stellar paint job. read more

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Gerry and Jon and they were fantastic! Gerry is a straight shooter, trustworthy and hard working. We were able to leave them a set of keys, and let them work unsupervised. Everything came out perfectly and within our deadline. We couldn't be happier! Thanks. read more

Very professional! Jon did the exterior of my house, and two main rooms in 2009. Excellent work. He just did my bathroom and all the doors inside my historic home and did an amazing job. Reliable. Honest. On time. Great to see painters that still take pride in their work and care about the job they're doing! read more

Gerry and his team painted the interior of our entire house and did an awesome job. He is easy to talk to and helped us a lot selecting the right color tone for the rooms and gave a lot of suggestions throughout the project. They finished everything in the timeline the promised with great quality. He also has a lot of contacts in other areas of home improvement which was very helpful for us as well. Gerry and his team are really great guys and I can strongly recommend them. read more

We wanted interior painted before we move in - Sent Jon my final colors Sunday evening around 9pm was already onsite Monday morning and they finished my project ahead of schedule with amazing details and quality work. I really appreciate the quality work from Jon & Gerry! read more

I've had many interiors in different houses painted over the years. I have to say that Gerry is really really good. Talks with you a lot about what it is that you want and he'll give you recommendations and ideas that he has and based on all of the experience he has, he has all well-thought-out ideas. Also he's lived in San Diego forever and he knows all sorts of handy people to help you with different house needs Gerry is definitely the type of person you need to have in your back pocket when you need something done at the house read more

Gerry and his son were very efficient and accommodating. I initially had them booked for one day but due to my schedule shifting he was very understandable and I was able to work out another day no problem. Additionally he was very helpful with the color schemes we selected. They did a great job, very timely and very affordable. Would use him again and highly recommend him read more

Just had the Painter Man paint the fascia and eaves on my house. Jon and Gerry did a great job. They were professional, friendly, efficient and neat. I was very pleased with the paint job. read more

We specifically ask them to use the highest grade paint and they agreed. We even told them the paint we wanted. They switched the paint and used the lowest grade. We found out months later when we tried to wash a simple mark off the wall with just water. The old paint came shining through. These painters will suck you in and then dol only what works in their benefit. I wouldn't even give them one star. On top of this, I did not find them (son/father/etc) very nice people. read more

This review refers to "The Painter Man" in Escondido. Email painterman1-10@hotmail.com. Office phone 858 225 9529. So I contracted to have my home painted by The Painter Man . Included in the contract was to use the top quality paint from the provider (there are 3 grade levels available). After the paint job, had to clean a smudge off the wall...when doing so the paint washed off down to the original paint color using warm water. When checking the spec number on the can, found that The Painter Man had used the lowest quality of paint available even though I paid for the most expensive. When contacting them on the matter, there was no response. You be the judge. read more

Gerry and Jon did an outstanding job painting the exterior of our house! They were neat, reliable and took great pride in their work. I had a few other bids but found them to be the best price. When the job was all done, we were extremely pleased with the outcome and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!! Thanks for the great job, Gerry and Jon... we will be calling again! read more

We just had our townhouse painted by Gerry and Jon Hans and couldn't be more pleased. They squeezed us in between two other jobs agreeing to work the weekend so we could get the painting done before the carpet installation and our move-in. The work is meticulous and they are extremely friendly. I highly recommend the Painter Man for any painting job you have! We will be calling them again when it's time to do something about our kitchen cabinets! read more
