5 - I would love to recommend Jayson when he finishes my patch and paint job for me, as well as my bathroom shelving and sink faucet that they broke.  I did not get my money's worth. 4 - The problem is that I've been waiting months for that to happen.  I already paid Jayson in full when we thought the job was fully completed.  However, an error has been discovered.  There is a big, rectangular frame of plaster on my wall that doesn't belong there.  Jayson says that he is fully committed to correcting that error that his co-worker, Sergei, created.  Again, I've been waiting months for that to happen.   3 - Jayson said that he has been working other jobs, so he couldn't find time in his schedule to complete my job.  Jayson said that to me while he was talking to me on his cellphone in the store, shopping for that other job.  However, after many failed promises to find time, Jayson finally nailed down a date to complete my patch and paint job on April 2, 2026.  Unfortunately, the morning of, Jayson called to say that he just decided to take care of a longstanding issue of many years.  All of which I encouraged and applauded because a person's wellbeing is important, but what does that mean for my patch and paint job?   2 - Well, according to Jayson, it means that while he has voluntarily put my patch and paint job on hold, he also wants to "socialize" with me.  He said that he doesn't "socialize" much because he's always working.  So, he likes to combine his "social" life with his professional life, like a "2fer".  The problem with that scenario is that I would technically still be paying Jayson to work for me.  So, that scenario would be extremely awkward for me.  In addition, Jayson told me, "You have the kind of eyes that a man would love to fall into."  I told Jayson, "I have mace in one pocket and a taser in the other," as I held each item up in the air so he could see them with his own eyes.   No, thanks, Jayson.  I just want my wall patched and painted correctly without a big, rectangular frame of plaster on my wall that doesn't belong there.    1 - In addition, Jayson still needs to keep his promise to repair the two items that his original painters broke on my prior, interior painting job: my guest bathroom shelf still needs to be reinstalled, and my guest bathroom sink, right faucet still needs to be replaced.   I'm almost 70-years-old.  Why am I having to deal with 55-year-old men behaving this way?  I'm still waiting for Jayson to schedule and complete my jobs.  It's May 13, 2026. I do not understand why I'm receiving such poor service? According to Jayson, I have only been nice to him. What could be the problem? There are too many recognizable details here for anyone to say that they have no record of an Allison, as a client. Just address the facts please. Thank you so much. Be well. read more

To say the quality of Creative Living Painting is STELLAR would be an understatement! Perusing my neighborhood one afternoon, I came upon a home being painted the most gorgeous shade of blue that I'd ever seen! The homeowner was speaking to who appeared to be the contractor and I was bold enough to approach the two and was immediately convinced that this was the entity I wanted to do my interiors. The homeowner shared that not only was she pleased with the work, but was blown away at the competitive pricing and the sheer professionalism that I had the opportunity to see first hand! Working with contractors of any capacity can be daunting but not in this case! Thank you Jayson for being honest, fair, creative, as well as reasonably priced and willing to work with tight budgets. I won't hesitate to continue to refer you to my network of family, friends and colleagues! read more

It has taken me this long to write a review for creative living painting because I frankly didn't want to give them one more moment of time. But now that I'm having painting done by a different company- I can tell how many corners were cut and that the quality issues I had are not from too high expectations but rather improper service; and other potential consumers deserve to know. Pros: the crew was always very polite to me, I never felt uncomfortable with them in my home, and they were very respectful of my property on the first round of interior painting. Much of the work was done well- though there were definitely areas of improper preparation and lack of attention to detail (although it was worse when they did the touch ups). They helped move things that were too heavy for me to move, and were very kind to my pets. They also did do a very nice job making and installing decorative beam covers. Cons- there were numerous areas of improper prep (cords that were clearly cut off and old were not removed (nor was I even asked) previous owner's artwork hanging nails were left in place, holes were not patched, doorknobs not removed or covered, hinges and latches painted over) and technique- areas of dripping, lint from rollers in paint, painting tape painted over and not removed, outdoor areas not scraped and just painted over (now peeling up only a few months later), tape edges not removed from floor, black bathroom hardware with clearly visible drips and paint marks, etc. However my biggest issue was in management's handling (or lack thereof) of these issues and in the way they spoke to their employees (and me). When I later questioned that behavior, I was told that they had to be spoken to that way because they "are painters and don't understand" other types of communication. I was angrily called and asked why the crew hadn't accomplished certain things, and basically yelled at to find out why. I felt so uncomfortable that I left some concerns unstated because I didn't want the crew to be yelled at. When I informed Jayson and Silvi of some of these issues, like staples left all over my floor, and a cord with sharp staples left in my yard; I was told that they investigated and the employee threw it away at the street and it was witnessed by 3 other employees (until I found video footage of them tossing it in my yard, and me cleaning it up before my dogs hurt themselves). I was also told I should be grateful they don't charge for touch ups. I finally got so disgusted that I demanded they get their stuff off my property that day and leave (I would rather pay a different company than continue to deal with them). They told me they would, and they did... but they never set up a time nor announced themselves. Jayson entered my property without even knocking or ringing a doorbell (my roommate was home the whole time). Then, when I arrived from work sooner than expected, I found my gates open and that Jayson had been on my property for almost 2 hours and filmed and taken pictures (my lawyer had to get involved for the footage of my home and access routes to be deleted). He then spoke to me in such a concerning tone and manner that my roommate heard and had to intervene and ask him to leave. This was an absolutely terrible experience that I now have to pay another painter to correct. Despite the fact that I paid over 47,000 dollars to have both the interior and exterior painted. And while they did say they would go back through and I could highlight areas to fix (though they had already been there doing touch ups and skipped it or created more issues)- I think it's quite obvious why I didn't want to interact with Jayson and Silvi further. REPOSTED Bc I didn't realize I was logged in under a friend's yelp when I left the review initially under Lea M. and apparently this work and behavior is so consistent with their performance that they couldn't identify my project based on the review, and tried to report it. His implication that these are not after photos of their sub par work is patently false, although nothing would make me happier than if my house wasn't left like this. I have attempted to remove the other review, but don't have access to that account any longer. So I guess consider one review for exterior and one for interior. read more

It is rare for me to find a contractor that easily grasps the vision I have for a project. I contacted Jayson as I was hoping a company named "Creative Living Painting" would get my unusual idea. They did not disappoint! They are not just contractors, but artists who truly brought out the character of my home. Since I knew the wood was far too old to stain and too expensive to replace, I wanted to do repair and then faux stain using paint and gel stain--a technique I had done myself inside on a small scale. Jayson knew exactly what I was talking about and did some experimenting to see what technique would work best given the large area that had to be covered. His process was far better than mine, and Joaquin's artistry truly shines. The entire painting team: Breynard, Joaquin, and Victoria are all masters of their work! The stucco repair was flawless, the attention to detail is unmatched, and above all, they're just super nice people! Oscar and Jayson handled any questions and concerns I had along the way, they were my patient with my "I don't know which white to choose!!" crisis, and I could not have asked for a better experience in transforming my house's exterior to reflect her inner beauty and character. If you have a unique vision for your home, Jayson and his team are the perfect people to bring it to life! read more

Jayson and his crew did fantastic work. We were working on a tight timeframe, and the crew delivered. The crew were dealing with unpainted concrete, galvanized pipe, and did what should have taken 2 days to do in 10 hours. These guys get to business, get the job done, but also do top notch work. read more

Jayson and his team did a fantastic and prompt job on painting my bedroom. In a matter of two hours the room that was once a depressing dark blue was revitalized as a bright white space. His team was very careful on not getting paint on any surface that I owned and they were very respectful in following the Covid guidelines. I highly recommend him and his team for any paint job especially one that needs to be done as soon as possible. read more
