After getting several estimates to get the exterior of my house painted, I went with Next Level…read morePainting. The pricing was very fair and they assured me that all permits needed for Oakland would be taken care of, which was something that Platypus (who quoted me an absolutely insane price) wasn't going to do. Jason & his team were amazing, especially since I was juggling a few other exterior home improvement projects at the same time. Paint selection was fun and easy, and the crew was courteous and got the job done quickly. When I'm ready to paint my home's interior, they will be my first call!

Damaged our neighbors' garden during one job, which distressed them a fair bit; we replaced the damaged plants with some impact to our wallet but none to our friendship. A few punch list items, middling responsive on those. A theoretical three year warranty with poor to no follow up on a couple of durability issues despite multiple outreach; we gave up after a while. Not a crisis. It's about time to paint both again, and we're not calling them for a quote, so figured we'd say that part out loud. We're not deeply unhappy, but not interested in working with them again. It was ... fine. ‍

In 2006 I had to put my exterior job on hold for medical reasons. He patiently sampled the colors I thought I liked. I was able to select the best color combination and when ready resumed completion that still looks good. Billinger has done interior and exterior painting since then.

Colorblast is the worst! I used them 2 times to paint the exterior of 2 of my rental properties and…read morethey seemed to do okay for a fair price. Then I hired them for a pretty big interior job painting my mom's house (who had passed away) including all interior, cabinets, removing popcorn from ceilings and paneling from 1 wall. I don't know where to begin. They took weeks to complete, which they never did. They flooded the floors, including the subfloor under the carpet, which the flooring installer later had to dry out to install the new floors. They was drywall mud and paint slung everywhere over the house and they painted over hinges, outlets, random light switches, alarm sensor, took down the fire alarms wired to the alarm system after removing the popcorn and sealed up the ceiling without replacing them. They didn't cover new doors and casings just installed by a finish carpenter, the doorbell case, or AC controller. They covered up all the AC & heater vents and turned on the heater, not once, but 2 more times after being told not to. They again turned it on with the return open with no filter so all the dust would go into the system with no filter. The walls looked like they were half way painted with primer or just not painted. The owner, Nathan, texted me in the middle of the night with rude messages. He told me that the house was just going to be sold, so why did I care if it was a good job. They left their food and junk all over the house and there was paint residue in the front yard, driveway and down the street. I gave him several chances to fix what he had done. It got to be too much damage. I paid them half of the money promised. I then had to pay another painter the full amount, plus much more for all the damage they had caused. I had to replace all of the outlets and light switches because so many were painted over, there was no recovery. They refused to return the 4 mirrored door railings that they took to remove all the paint they got on them. They are custom doors and I had to pay over $900 to get them replaced. When I tried to discuss it with Nathan's wife, the co-owner, Amanda, she threatened me with a mechanic lien against my property. They caused so much stress and so much damage and additional costs, I strongly advise anyone against using them for anything. The way Amanda treated me after finding out all of this happened, made it even worse. In my opinion, they are dishonest and terrible people from the owners down to the crew. I have so many photos and other workers that were there who can attest to how bad they really were!!!

Metro painting did a wonderful job on painting the exterior of my house. Marco and his crew were…read moregreat. Marco put me in touch with a repairman for a rotted window and he suggested caulking in areas that had not been done before, among other things. They cleaned up after themselves every day. They also painted a room in my house and a ceiling, they covered the floors and the walls when necessary and cleaned up nicely. One of the painters stood out to me, his name is Manuel. He finished the interior work and was very focused and diligent.

Excellent work by Jeff and his team at Metro. Only a positive experience from start to finish.read more

I had Omni painting my extensive outdoor railings on my 3 level house 4 years ago. I know railings…read moreare a pain in the behind and Omni is not a cut rate business. But here is why I will continue to highly recommend Omni. I noticed the other day a strange peeling on the rod part of the railing. At first I thought someone had scraped it. But no, the paint was actually peeling. I focused and saw it on different rods. I took a snapshot and sent it to Omer and he called me instantly and Dee came out and verified it. Dee returned with one of his great crew and they are working on it. Now that is a very very good business when they respond like that. We can't figure it out, was it a bad can of paint, why is it only on the rod portion. Carefully looking at all 3 levels, it's the same pattern. But Omni didn't hesitate and are graciously resanding and painting.

We really appreciated the no-pressure sales approach -- everything felt easy, transparent, and comfortable along with great and fair pricing. The crew took their time, paid attention to every detail, and the results truly show. Our house looks beautiful, and we have already received many compliments from neighbors and friends. In my eyes, they are more than just painters -- they are artists. Their craftsmanship transformed our home, and we could not be happier.

Maintaining a home requires a lot of maintenance. In early spring I decided to get my house's…read moreexterior dry rot repair and a new coat of paint before the winter. I went to Yelp to review the painting contractors in my area who also did repairs for dry rot and siding. I selected three contractors with a rating of four starts and above and scheduled an appointment with each of them to view the house. Within a week I received all three proposals, and I reviewed and compared them to ensure the contractors were providing the same services. Two of the proposals came in with a higher cost and the third was lower for the same amount of work-- so I selected the latter, which was Rayco. In addition to the great rate, Tony L. arrived early to the appointment for viewing the house and we had a great rapport. After we selected the paint scheme and received approval from our HOA, we scheduled the work to begin the last week of June. Tony L. and his team arrived at 8 am with their equipment and porta potty. He introduced me to the team and said that the first day was to power wash the house. I asked him if he could also power wash our cement, and he said that it can be spotty. I told him that it was okay, and he obliged. Tony L. and his team communicated with me every day to let me know if there were any issues we needed to address and consulted with me about the paint scheme. The team was very professional and hard working: they did a great job painting, repairing the dry rot, and the siding, which was about forty to fifty percent of the work. Each day the team made sure to clean up the area to ensure its safety. It took a week to complete the job, and they even worked on July 4th. During this time my wife needed to paint the interior of her tea business. She had just signed the contract for her space and needed to get her business up and running within a month. Lucky for her I was already working with Tony L. and recommended that she speak with him. She scheduled an appointment with him, and they met at her new space. After they met, he provided her with a quote, and she accepted it because his cost came in much lower than the previous quotes. Tony L. and his team completed the paint job within a week. We have received so many compliments about the paint job and color scheme. In short, I would recommend Rayco because Tony L. and team are great, they have the expertise and knowledge to get the job done on time and on budget. Their work is excellent!

Estimate was very competitive and I had a good feeling about the work. I wasn't let down, his crew came and went above and beyond everyday. Not only did they do an amazing job they were incredibly nice and so thoughtful. Little things like keeping the area clean and tidy, making the area liveable even if it was only for a couple hours before they came back. Even pulling out and in our trash cans. They treated our house as theirs. Not to mention the lines were clean and everything turned out exactly how we envisioned. 10/10 would recommend!

In fact their quote was in the middle, close to the lowest bid, and they included the option to resurface the stucco for a reasonable additional price. Prior to their job, the house had messed up stucco and very old peeling paint -now the exterior looks close to perfect. Olson was also easy to communicate with, and tactfully accommodated my dad's idiosyncratic requests about prepping technique. They exactly matched the trim color to the new windows, and were able to start and finish within a couple weeks of providing their original quote. We would definitely use them again.
