My house was in dire need of fresh paint. It had been so long since the last paint job that we had flaking, peeling paint, not just on the walls in front (which receive direct sun all afternoon) but also on the trim. Others who gave me quotes said nothing about that, but told me that the streaks on the east and north sides of the house were due a) to poor application of paint by previous painters, and b) stains that would have to be removed by sanding and bleaching. Felix was awesome to talk with, and in the matter of the streaks simply said they were due to condensation dripping, laden with particulate matter (smoggy air) over time, and that they could easily be removed with a power wash (which, if repeated every year or so, would keep things looking pristine). Felix's quote was higher than the others I received, but I felt FAR more comfortable with his professional knowledge and skills than I did with the other fellows. He was quite clear about the time required (it's a big 2-storey house!), and understood the need to minimize noise in order to have the least possible impact on my 88-year-old mother. His crew was awesome, coming to do the prep work first (including sanding, power washing and spot-priming) then diligently painting not just the body of the house, but the doors, the trim, the shutters etc. A walkthrough afterwards revealed a couple of items to touch up, which were promptly and carefully done. I've had several neighbors come over specifically to remark upon how beautiful the house now looks, and how efficiently it was painted. They have no idea how easy it was to work with Felix, how well he managed the time and his crew (particularly since it rained in the middle of the job) and how capably he helped me figure out what colors I wanted to use. I'd call Felix at Valley Painting in a heartbeat if I had another painting job to do. read more

Felix and his crew are remarkable. I have used them twice now (exterior and interior painting) and I can't say enough about their quality of work, reliability, efficiency, professionalism and friendliness. Highly recommended! read more

The Valley Painting in Brentwood provides a very poor quality service. Please, see the pictures: the evidence of their poor quality work. The outcome of their work does not meet the criteria of the description of paint and small repair included in the estimate: cracks are still visible, walls with paint dripping .... When I pointed out the problems, Felix promised to fix them but it never happened. As excuse he said: your house is old; door is not well adjusted so painting of the door can't be better. This experience led to many unpleasant surprises and very big regrets I hired this company. In addition, the service is very expensive and excludes the painting of the garage and a small concrete by the front door. I would NOT recommend hiring this company. read more

What my husband and I love the most is the great customer service. The attention to detail and the honesty. We had paint chipping away and rotted old wood trims. We wanted to go the cheap way, and just paint over it. Felix let us know that the results wouldn't look as good as we would like them to be if we didn't remove the old rotted trim and sand down the old chipped off paint. He also pointed out that we had old drip marks that needed to be sanded down as well. It was up to us he said, and we decided to pay a little more, and have it done right. We would definitely hire Valley Painting again, and recommended them to all of our friends and family. read more

A friend recommended Felix at Valley Painting and he did a phenomenal job on our house. My wife and I couldn't decide on a paint color and Felix recommended the perfect shade for our home. The painters got the job done on time and they were respectful of our property. I'm very satisfied with the work. read more

I used Yelp and Angies List to find licensed painting contractors to bid on painting the exterior walls and trim of my two story house. I wanted the trim (eaves, gutters, fascias) in Semi Gloss White and the walls in a different Graham Cracker Velvet Sheen for a two tone effect. I received many bids from McCleary Painting, Shadowood Painting, Paramount Painting, Generations of Painting, Painter's Friend, Omega Painting, Marcus Henderson Painting. Some painters offered Kelley Moore Paint and others Dunne Edwards. After conducting my own research I found that Dunne Edwards EverShield is far superior on the exterior and had painters bid with that. The bid process is taxing, you have lots of questions on prep, materials, warranty, etc. Pricing had a swing of about $700 cheaper to $1200 more expensive. How I narrowed the list was with questioning the depth of prep - scraping, caulking, different primers for masonry and wood, along with spray painting, backrolling and the size of the paint crew. I did not go with the lowest bid but rather in the middle and wanted more than a one or two person team. Kurt Kline at Dunne Edwards store on Blossom Hill Rd was fantastic when I struggled in narrowing my paint colors and had digital pictures of my house photoshopped (via Lloyd Eakes) with my final three colors which really made the decision easy. I purchased a small tub of paint to put on the wall to confirm the final selection. Some painters don't prime, some only do one coat, others spray paint first coat and only backroll the second, some only offer a 1year warranty against paint peeling, cracking or splitting. A lot of the painters are experienced, busy during the summer months and painting is a 3-4 day job of power washing walls, scraping, caulking, priming then painting spray painting and backrolling two coats on walls and trim. I narrowed my list to three painters and then based on their follow up responses to my questions, pricing, and viewing their past jobs decided on Felix at Valley Painting. From the start I was impressed with Felix's can do attitude, he is easy to talk to, knows the full process and is not just a salesman. We settled on a date and Jose from his team came out to power wash the house in about two hours. The following day the whole Valley Painting team of Mario, Jose, Alfredo and Felix came and started the prep work. This involved scraping any flaking paint off lap boards, walls, eaves, fascia boards. Next is the caulking, any cracks in stucco and wood need to be filled with paintable waterproof caulk (not silicon), this can take some time to find all the crevices. Then comes the priming, Mario used Masonry primer on stucco which was rolled on and a different primer on wood was used by Jose and Alfredo. They masked all the windows, doors, light fixtures, telephone boxes, Directv wiring and faucets. They also put tape to get nice sharp corners, drop cloths to guard against any spills on fence, floor, roof,, etc. Very nice prepping to be ready for paint the following day and left the back yard tidy (free of tools, ladders, etc). The next day they spray painted the Dunne Edwards EverShield paint onto the walls and backrollored two walls, then they came back over and did a second coat which they spray painted and backrollored. You can really see the difference when paint is spray painted vs just rollored on. No crevices are left and all the stucco has a very nice uniform tight coverage. They left the windows covered upstairs in the back over the weekend and picked up on Monday finishing the other two walls (front and side). Then they masked off the wall on the rear and side to spray paint the eaves, gutter and fascias. The masking really helps avoid the run marks and splash. They finished painting on Tuesday and the final finish looks amazing, came out better than I expected. I was really impressed with Mario, when I had concerns of saw areas that needed caulking, touch up, he took care of it immediately, he really went above and beyond in putting my concerns too rest. He really painted like it was his own house and took pride in his work. He has been painting for over 7 years and it shows. Jose and Alfredo also worked diligently moving between fascias, gutters, eaves and walls. The trio (Mario, Jose and Alfredo) did a fantastic job, I am really impressed with the final outcome. Mario did a final walk through with me to address any final concerns prior to cleaning up and leaving. Felix backs his work with a solid warranty against any splitting, cracking or peeling and is C33 licensed for painting and decorating. Felix accepts payment via check or credit card. It is with great pleasure and pride that I write this review for Felix @ Valley Painting, my neighbors commented on how great the house looks and heads turn when I see people pass by. Overall 5 stars, I highly recommend Valley Painting for your painting and decoration needs. read more

We recently had Felix and his crew complete a very challenging paint job on two historic properties (built circa 1900) in Los Gatos - both interior and exterior, and they did a phenomenal job. This was an extremely challenging job since the properties had not been painted in over 30+ years easily. Because of the age of the home, his crew had to first remove all residue paint by hand (chipping), and with water pressure, and then sand down the wood. They did this very diligently and with care. I want to highlight some of the qualities that we really appreciated about Valley Painting: Professionalism: The crew showed up when they said they would. They first worked to chip the remaining exterior paint, use water pressure, and sand down the wood to prep for painting. Felix would visit the work site often to monitor progress and make very insightful suggestions regarding paint selection and aesthetics. Many times, Felix made excellent color recommendations and when we were not fully settled on a specific color, he would go and get us additional paint samples until we found something that matched our expectations. Creativity: Beyond Felix's paint suggestions, he had an awesome idea for a new wood garage door we installed that we were just planning on painting over. With his vision, he suggested that the door should instead be stained and finished with a deep dark wood color. He had his crew apply the stain and finish and the door turned out phenomenally. Pride: Felix takes pride in his work, and goes the extra mile to make sure that the paint schema meets our vision, but also that it meets his own standards of beauty and class. We really appreciated that extra step of pridemanship that is often lost in many companies today. Price Competitive: We quoted a few painters for this project, and Felix was by far the most price competitive. His crew was diligent and went far beyond the scope of the work to make sure that it met our standards. Overall, selecting Valley Painting is a no brainer for me. Professionalism, creativity, price competitiveness, and pridemanship are all qualities I would pick any day for a paint team. I will try to post some before/after pics for you to get a sense of the scope of work. read more

Valley Painting did a great job painting our 2-story home. Felix, the owner, was very easy to communicate with and to work with! Felix met with us and discussed all the work to be done, the type of paint (Sherwin Williams) and provided the color samples we were interested in. We had contracting issues which needed to be resolved before the completion of the painting could be done... Felix was able to accommodate the delay on our end. This was really appreciated as we know they had other jobs to be completed. This showed us Valley Painting has good customer service and Felix wanted to build a strong business relationships. The crew was diligent and professional. I would highly recommend Valley Painting. read more

We used Felix and his crew to paint a custom interior design as well as our whole outside of the house. They were great. Very nice and easy to work with. Felix is also very detail oriented and particular, which is exactly what you want in a painter. Will use them again next time. Addendum to the prior review: Felix was supposed to return to finish painting and never did. We called and left messages but never heard back. Luckily was not a large amount to finish, but this forces me to drop 2 stars. read more

Felix and his crew are amazing. We have contracted with them for a few whole house remodel and additions. They are clean, professional and are experts. We love partnering with them on our projects and highly recommend them for all your painting needs. read more

We had Felix' crew do our entire house exterior in Sherman Williams elastomeric paint. Three colors on stucco and various metal trim. Felix was very easy to communicate with. We found him when they painted a few houses nearby and my wife noticed the quality of their work. Responses were immediate and his advice was very good. My wife is very fussy over color and they bent over backwards helping her figure out if she made the right choices. The paint crew were very considerate and the quality of their work is excellent. We had no issues and the work was done in a timely manner. About a week including power washing and waiting a day after that. I recommend them highly and would hire them again without question. read more

Valley Painting (owner Felix) did a great job painting my home. He was willing to work with high tech material (micro ceramic spheres) that I had purchased to mix in the paint. The workers do a good job of masking, preping, painting, and cleaning up. Prior to the job, Felix personally verified the color of a home my wife liked by taking color samples to the address we requested. Furthermore, he brought several variations of the same color to paint a sample patch to ensure my wife would be pleased with the end result. From my experience with Felix, I can say he is fair, honest, and very experienced in providing a quality paint job for our home. Our home looks brand new, we are very happy! Felix also provides good customer service after the sale. I would highly recommend Valley Painting to anyone. Posted by a very satisfied customer in Morgan Hill, CA read more

When we purchased our first home I was so overwhelmed with the thought of painting the whole interior before we moved in. I did some research and came across Valley Painting. I called the owner Felix and was immediately satisfied with his professionalism. Felix came to my home the next day to look at the job. I told him this was a time sensitive project because I was having movers come in in 4 days. Felix not only said he would make it happen but the job came out perfect and the price was very competitive to other places I called. I loved the job his team did so much when it was time to replace the windows on my home I called Felix again to pain the exterior of our home and could not be more pleased. I would recommend Valley Painting to anyone and everyone needing a high quality paint job with professionalism and competitive pricing!!! read more

in response to, "feeling the need to defend myself" comments made by Felix.... 1. Using SW paint was at your recommendation as it was a flatter paint and would yield a better result. In fact, you wouldn't guarantee a roller mark free ceiling if BM Aura was used on the ceiling. Let's also not forget that you purchased 15 or 20 gallons of SW paint for the ceiling--a HUGE mistake. The job probably only needed 5 gallons. It's pretty obvious that you needed some way to recoup from this mistake. You got caught. When called out on it, you made excuses to leave the job. 2. There was no yelling. How would you know? You weren't there. Your painter made excuses for using the wrong colors, wrong materials, and had his feelings hurt when i pointed out numerous mistakes. 3. When I pointed out the problems with the trim, you promised to fix them. I gave you the opportunity to fix it and it never happened. When I caught your team using the wrong materials I also brought up the issue with the trim again. This seemed to be final straw as I have obviously insulted Picasso one to many times. 4. I am sorry you feel the need to defend yourself, but I selected you largely because of your very positive Yelp reviews. I am very disappointed because I gave you multiple opportunities to make things right. Instead of accepting responsibility, you made excuses and continued to cover for your team's mistakes. The point of my Yelp review is to document my experience with Valley Painting. My experience is very different than what the other reviews and I feel it is important to share my experience with the Yelp community. After all, I selected Valley Painting based on the previous Yelp reviews. Bottom line, there were numerous problems and issues. To be honest, any big project is going to have issues. This was a high end custom home that required a lot of attention to detail. When those details were overlooked, I did nothing more than highlight them. Instead of working towards a solution, you opted to make excuses and run. read more

If you are seeking a professional painter that does high quality work you must contact Felix at Valley Painting. The project I had for them was to pain the exterior of a 2 story home in which included areas that had new stucco.

We had our house painted by Felix and his crew and I have nothing but great things to say about the experience! They showed up on time, prepped the house and painted it in no time at all. I was impressed by their friendly professionalism, their speed in getting the job done in a timely manner and best of all at a very reasonable cost. I would recommend Felix and his crew to any of my friends thinking of having their houses painted. What could have been a difficult situation ended up to everyone's satisfaction, even our dog loved Felix and she's very picky about who she'll allow around the house. Just the right colors (two coats) for a more than reasonable price. read more
