    Garage door and the side of the house
    Ramon C.

    I would not go with any other painter besides Universal Painting. Steven and his son Ryan our great to work with. They truly care about their business and their employees. Their crew literally attacked our house and did a fabulous job painting it. I wouldn't go with anyone else.

    What a pleasure it was to work with Steve, Ryan, Roman and the entire Universal Painting crew for a second time. Their attention to detail, punctuality and quality of work is above reproach! They power washed, painted and touched up our entire exterior as well as or outdoor patio cover in a matter of a couple days! I would highly recommend them for any of your painting needs! A++

    Body of the house is Colonial Revival Gray (satin) and the trim work is Alabaster (gloss) for all the trim work and garage doors.

    We recently had Universal Painting paint the exterior of our home. From the initial consultation with the owners son Ryan to the picking of colors that would go great with the brick work on the front of our home all went perfectly. They came out a week or so prior to the painting day and pressure washed the house to prep it for paint. A couple days later they had a couple guys go around the house fixing any dry rot, they used caulking in all the gaps in the siding and stucco patch for the cracks in the stucco. On paint day we had (14) painters swarm our house all at once. They had (2) paint sprayers painting all the different areas of the house while others back-rolled the paint along with starting to cut in all the trim work. They have a special paint sprayer just for doors. Our front doors and our side garage door have never looked so good. They both look like they are brand new even though they are 35 years old. All in all we are vey pleased with how the paint turned out. I've gone over the house looking for any "holidays" in the paint and I haven't found any so far. They really did a great job with the painting. The Sherwin Williams Super Paint has a reputation for being a great paint so we will have to see how it holds up over the next decade or so. We went with Colonial Revival Gray (satin) for the body of the house and Alabaster (gloss) for the trim on the house and those two colors work beautifully together giving the house a very clean and fresh look. It goes perfectly with our brick columns and sidewalk also. All in all we are extremly happy with how things have turned out and look forward to possibly hiring Universal Painting to paint the inside of our home in the coming years.

    Finished product

    Steve and Ryan, the owners were so easy to deal with. They might have been a tad higher than other quotes but they got the job done exactly as explained and finished in one day. The crew chief was a terrific leader and kept the ten person crew on task doing meticulous work. we have a two story house and they had guys that climbed the ladders to the top carrying bucket, freaking me out, but handling everything like professionals. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering painting their house.

    The finished front door security screen. Can hardly tell it's even there when the front door is shut!

    Unfortunately the paint job shows a lot of chipping, despite the fact that we are extremely careful. Would not use again!

    This is an overdue review of JR Drywall. We hired Ron and his team to repair and smooth over the…read morehorribly textured, uneven walls in our Berkeley home. And I do mean "horribly textured"--when we bought the house, we joked that the walls in our living room and entryway looked like a lava flow. Ron's team took several days to complete the project. They arrived on time every morning, took great care to protect our floors and furniture, and transformed those large, ugly surfaces into smooth, clean walls that looked like they had always been that way. The quality of their work was excellent, and they clearly took pride in getting the details right. They were professional, careful, personable, and efficient throughout the project, and the finished result exceeded our expectations. And when the job was finished, Ron asked one of his associates to repair small area of the wall in our upstairs bathroom--a detail that wasn't even part of the original contract. That work was also top-notch. Ron and his team far exceeded our expectations. We would hire them again in a second, and we would definitely recommend JR Drywall to anyone looking for high-quality drywall work.

    I'll start by saying that I 100% recommend Ron for any of your drywall and home repair needs. I've…read moresaved his information and will definitely call him again for any future house work or projects that come along over time. In summary, we had a drainage pipe that was leaking, resulting in damaging the drywall it was behind. Ron, within minutes of entering our home, confirmed our suspicions and quickly got to work, starting with the removal of the severely damaged drywall segments followed by the removal of paint. He doesn't do plumbing, but recommended a plumber that he trusted and partnered with over the years. After the pipe was repaired, Ron proceeded to patch up the wall and prep it for painting. His professionalism throughout this multi-day experience was very positive - he shared his thoughts on what happened and why. I appreciated his candor and friendliness. The price we paid for the work was fair and very competitive, something I greatly appreciated.

He took a lot of time out of his day in the late evening to assist me. We spent at least 15 minutes going back and forth. I can say that I would come to him first if I ever need and drywall work done. His compassion for a total stranger speaks volumes about his character and integrity. Amazing service bravo. I can see why so many people have entrusted him with their homes.

Chase (with helper Andrew) patched it up perfectly, dealing with the fact that one of the 4 speaker mounting points had been broken. The other cuts, in our wall, were also patched perfectly. Texture was applied to both, matching the rest of the ceiling and wall. We were given the option of doing the painting ourselves, or they could come back and paint it. We chose the latter, so Chase came back a few days later (after everything had dried) and completed the job. No one could possibly tell there was repair work done in any of the places. They were on time (or a bit early) both times. They laid a paper runner to the area, preserving our carpeting (and wore booties at other times). Casey (the owner) was super responsive via text, and was a pleasure to work with. The price was a bit more than I had originally expected, but the amount of work involved was also more than I realized. I highly recommend Wallen's Drywall for any drywall job you need done.
