When I moved back into my childhood home after it had been used as a rental property for nearly 30…read moreyears, it was, quite frankly, the eyesore of the block. Very little had been updated over the years, tenants had painted rooms in some truly questionable colors, and there was even original wallpaper still hanging in the dining room. I hired Luis and the team at Labato Painting to paint the interior, and from the moment they started, I knew I had made the right decision. The transformation was remarkable. Once the walls were completed, it became obvious that the beautiful Craftsman woodwork throughout the house deserved attention as well. Luis and his crew carefully restored it, buffing, staining, and varnishing the wood to bring it back to life. The results were absolutely stunning. As often happens with home improvement projects, one thing led to another. Seeing how beautiful the interior looked made me realize the exterior needed the same level of care, so I hired Labato Painting to paint the outside of the house as well. Along the way, I decided to install a new kitchen floor, and Luis and his team handled that project flawlessly too. Luis, Jesus, Augustine, and Leo were all a pleasure to work with--professional, respectful, hardworking, and incredibly considerate of both my space and my time. Leo also repaired and refinished my chimney exterior, which now looks fantastic. The final result exceeded every expectation I had. My neighbors frequently comment on how beautiful the house looks and have jokingly dubbed it "the star house" of the neighborhood. Several friends have asked for Luis's contact information, and many have since hired him for projects of their own. I couldn't be happier with the work Labato Painting performed. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and detail-oriented painting contractor, I recommend Luis and his team without hesitation.

They were clean, responsive, quickly available, and professional. I will definitely be using them for future projects. Thank you so much!

They spent four days on-site and did an exceptional job, especially with keeping the paint lines crisp and clean. What really stood out was their attention to detail and consideration; they took special care to protect my brand-new floors and were incredibly accommodating of my schedule, working around my pets by alternating rooms as needed. My house looks fantastic, and I've already received numerous compliments on the fresh, clean look. Highly recommended!

Of all the price quotes that I received, Marcio provided the best pricing, including genuine dedication to deliver quality work and excellent customer service.

Although it was not part of the scope of work, Marcio noted that my front door needed touch-up paint, and he offered to take care of it. You don't need to look further to find a superior painting service provider. Go with Marcio.

He was a pleasure to work with throughout the project: professional, friendly, patient and responsive, promptly answering all my questions. He visited the site daily and provided regular updates on job progress. His crew was on-time, efficient and hard-working. Not one complaint from any of the tenants or the neighbors, in fact, the tenants praised the crew's professionalism, how they cleaned up after each work day, and how beautiful the building looked once the job was done. Estuardo initially estimated 3-4 week completion, the work was done in three. I would not hesitate to hire Fresh Start again. He, his crew, and the quality of the work are outstanding!

We have just had the pleasure of having the exterior of our house, and a shed painted by an exceptional company, Fresh Start. Dealing with the owner Estuardo was a great experience . He listened patiently to our ideas and implemented every one of them. Many times we've had contractors be very 'fluid' about time. This doesn't take the clients time into consideration and what they may have to juggle to make themselves available. Estuardo's crew was on time each day, on the dot, and worked tirelessly for 6 days. They did a very thorough and professional job, repaired some dry rot, and added accents that we requested. We would recommend this company without hesitation to anyone looking for a top notch painting company.

Sean provided a good consultation, the cost was reasonable compared to the different proposals we received, the color consultation was surprisingly helpful, and Pompeyo, the foreman, communicated well and was always available. We've had a few projects around the house, and this team of painters was the friendliest and most considerate. One side of the house was in particularly poor shape, and we were impressed with how much work they put into the repairs, as well as the paint. Some companies we consulted have larger operations and web presences, so I had some initial reservations with Love Painting. Ultimately, that's just because they are a smaller local company that still relies on word of mouth and traditional references. I am glad we hired their team and would recommend them.

When they encountered dry rot (and it was unfortunately widespread--out here in the Ingleside, we have to paint more frequently), they pointed it out, including up on the roof, updated the invoice, and fixed it. The place looks immeasurably better and is in much better shape. Rafael was great at communicating throughout and flexible, taking the time needed to get the work done right; he worked to ensure that the crew were neat; and when the crew missed something, he followed up to ensure it was fixed. He even threw in some caulking where it was needed around the kitchen sink. The job wasn't cheap, but the price was fair. I would definitely hire Rafael and the crew again.

We had several bids for the project. Rafael's bid was reasonable. He was the most professional and we really liked his attention to detail so we hired him for our project. Rafael is a great communicator-he was very responsive to phone calls, texts, and emails. He was also prompt and he always followed through on everything he said he would do. He gave us appropriate updates on the project from start to finish. This experience was so different from other contractors we worked with in the past. They repaired all areas of dry rot and sealed the windows and I am sure the work will last for many years. His team was polite and respectful of the tenants. They cleaned up after the project and were helpful when we needed them to move trash cans to and from the curb during the duration of the project. We would highly recommend Rafael to anyone who is looking for a high quality, professional, top-tier paint job. You will not regret it. J Chan and P Chang

Had never painted the exterior of my house, I did a lot of research. I went to the Kelly Moore paint store to learn about how to paining exterior and the type of paints; I asked totally 5 painting companies to come to give me estimation and I chose this company after comparison and thorough consideration. There are a lot of reasons I chose Hugo and his company: (1) they painted one of my neighbors' house this summer and I saw their van (with their company name and logo on the body) and my neighbor are very happy with their job and highly recommend them; (2) I checked on Yelp, Google about this company and they have pretty good reviews; (3) I went to http://www.cslb.ca.gov to check their license and their license is active and they are insured and bonded; (4) from their website, they have listed the photos of their past projects and I saw some big building and commercial projects which are quite impressive. besides all those above reasons, the most important reasons is what I saw in Hugo. He responded quickly to my call and came to gave me estimation soon (he had jobs nearby and he was able to find time to come by). He was a person that did not have much nonsense but was able to keep his words. His credibility and integrity through the job have gained my trust and I am so happy I made the right decision to hire him. Hugo has done a lot of projects and he has been in the painting business for more than 20 years and they had done all kind of painting projects. They have good equipments and a lot of experience to do the right jobs and do a good job. Painting a house isn't something you do often, maybe once in 10 years, it is very important you choose the right one. I highly recommend Hugo and his company.
