We hired Sergey and his crew to do whole house painting and drywall repairs. They did an impeccable job and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them. read more

Sergey is awesome. He painted the inside of our house. He swapped out our light fixtures in minutes. You can use Benjamin Moore paints, so we were able to match the rest of the house. We have high walls and ceilings. He charged a fraction of the other quotes. He got the work done in the same time other companies required a team of 3. Outstanding honest, hard work. Much respect. The man is truly a master of his craft. read more

Where to begin.....if we could give Sergey and his team 6 stars we would. From the initial contact to the finish of the job it was flawless. We hired Creative Mind painting for both our interior and exterior. Both jobs came out amazing. Sergey was polite, helpful and went beyond the call of duty. He took our dull 1990 painted house(ugly yellowish beige) to a bright beauty. We wanted to re paint our back stairs orange and we had run out of the paint color and he was kind enough to go and match and get some. The team showed up on time everyday by 8:00 and got straight to work. Power washed the outside and prepped for painting. We even had them paint over our brick columns and it came out better that expected! This is the type of business that makes home improvement not a pain in the ass. They cleaned up after themselves everyday and made sure everything went back where it belonged. We know that if we ever need another paint job they will be our go to team! Thank you! read more

We reached out to Creative Minds Painting to have our living room and kitchen repainted (ceiling and baseboards included). Sergey promptly followed-up with a quote after requesting some photos of the room. He answered all of our questions and we had quite a few! We provided him our paint color choices and he arrived on-time to start the project. Sergey is meticulous and takes care to prep the room properly. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and we look forward to working with Sergey again on another project! read more

In need a painter for my rental and Sergey was recommended by a relative. He did a fabulous job painting the insides of the my condo. He did it in 2 days and saved me money in the process. From now on if I or anyone I know needs a paint job done he's the first person to talk to. Just call him and you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

Another great experience, this time it was my bathroom. The old color was a dark purple. I wanted to update to a white. It looks amazing! I'm so happy with it. Thank you for the reliable work! read more

Fantastic work, and really personable, friendly service. Sergey first painted the exterior of our home a few years ago and did such a great job (and at a very reasonable rate) that we recently hired him to paint the interior of our house. Once again, he and his team did a great job and very quickly, too. Really great company - highly recommend. read more

I am very happy with Creative Minds! Here are the reasons why: - Sergey was great, very thorough in his explanations and attention to detail over the phone, by email, and in person - He helped suggest how to pick paint colors, told me what he believed what was already on my walls, and helped pick an appropriate sheen - Sent over multiple invoices promptly because I wanted to add some things in, easy to communicate with - They repaired holes in the wall (some were decently big) and touched up the ceiling and crown moulding, which were not included in the estimate, because they are awesome :) - I made a big boo-boo because my phone updated overnight and didn't wake me up in the morning, so I called Sergey apologizing and that I would be about 50 min late to the appointment on the 2nd day (don't live at the place yet and had to commute about 1 hour to get there). I was so worried and embarrassed but he brushed it off and was very nice about it. That really means a lot to me, thank you and great customer service! - Paint job is excellent! Would definitely recommend and use their services again :) read more

Sergey is amazing! We had a fairly straightforward, but slightly esoteric ceiling paint job that I must've contacted 10 companies for. Sergey was one of the very few to reply promptly and state very clearly what he could and could not do. I got a quote from him two days later, based only on photos and room measurements, and it included a thorough description of the process, as well as a list of recommendations for paint brands. After I let him know our colors, Sergey also recommended some paint finishes and grades for the project. Although he gets booked up in advance and initially only had availability four to six weeks out, because it was a one-day job, he let me know he had a potential date two weeks out that he would only be able to confirm on short notice. In the end, he was able to confirm that date about a week beforehand. On the day of the job, Sergey and his assistant arrived right on time, and worked quickly and efficiently. Everything that needed covering was protected, and the care they took in taping everything off was clearly evident in the final result. Because it was a warm day, they finished up about an hour and a half ahead of schedule, so Sergey didn't charge us the usual additional cost for using a higher quality paint. We also received a 5% discount for paying in cash. He emailed me the receipt the next day. Nearly four months later, the room looks great and we've had zero issues with the paint. Sergey made this process fast and simple, and does high quality work. I would absolutely work with him again on any future paint projects! read more

I have painted much of the interior in our house, but when it came to my two-story stairwell, I had to either find a painter or buy a big ladder and trust myself I wouldn't fall. I decided to find a painter. There are so many painters out there, and I thought it was going to be a chore to find one. Based on the yelp reviews, I called Creative Minds first. Sergey answered the phone and we made an appointment for a quote the next morning. He came on time (like literally exactly on time), and I received a quote the next afternoon. I didn't even bother calling anyone else, I just had a feeling that this was going to work out and the price was reasonable. He started work a few days later, and finished in 1 day as promised, which I was surprised because it was just him. Staiwell, upstairs hall, and the 6 interior doors upstairs. He worked steadily and he is a true professional painter. He knows what he is doing, did a great job. and the edges are perfect. He's pleasant, hard working, quiet, and I'd absolutely hire him again. He also left me with the leftover paint if there was a need to do a touch up in the future (I have young kids). To sum it up, I'm a perfectionist and I was totally impressed that he clearly was too. Great work Sergey! Another happy customer here. read more

We just hired Sergey and Yuri to paint the exterior of our home. Let me tell you how we ended up using them and it just may save you some time. To begin, I had 7 painting contractors estimate the job. I wanted to see how/what each painting contractor was going to do. It turns out Sergey was the very first painter I called as a result of his Yelp! Reviews. He picked up the phone immediately and told me he could swing by the house the same day (there were some contractors that took a week to get back to me or had to call multiple times to schedule an estimate, really?) Once he came to look at the job, we got an estimate the next day. So a huge plus to start with there. We ended up getting a number of addresses that they had painted in our area recently. We drove around and were pleased with the work they had done. His price was also reasonable. He wasn't the cheapest but he wasn't the most expensive. Totally reasonable. He talks thru (and his estimate contains this info) the steps that he takes to complete the job. His choice of paint brands is very good. And he'll tell you when he will finish. Everything he said he would do, he did. (His communication is very prompt and thorough.) If there are some small details you want them to address, they do it without questions. (He even threw in a few extras that I didn't expect.) The job they did was quality. We are SO happy with the result. This is why you need Creative Minds Painting. Don't waste your time searching for a painter. I already did the work for you. Call Sergey. read more

Just called looking for a quote. Time is 7:41 pm. Rude on phone and hung up on me. Where did these 5 star reviews come from? Additional review- wow what awful manners. Lack of phone manners. Dude just left a rude comment to my review. Definitely showing his true colors. If he had such a long day why didn't you let the call go to voicemail? I too work long hours in the hospital dealing with all sorts of unpleasant folks like yourself but I'm not an ass to people. Just warning people as to how you may treat them as customers. If you don't like the bad review, don't be rude when a customer calls requesting a quote. And no, you did not say please or thank you. All you did was mumble incoherently and hang up. That was the second call. The first time I called you didn't say anything but hang up on me after 5-6 seconds after answering. Review day 2. Wow this gets better and better. Dude must not care about his business at all if he is willing to slander someone he's never met before like he has. Now he knows my voter registration status? Interesting that the man has no idea who I am. As you can see, any potential customer should think long and hard about choosing him for painting services. How could anyone trust him in your home or with your children around? This man sounds very angry here to continue to bash me. I'm simply standing up for myself and he has made a number of personal attacks. Again...this shows what kind of business owner he is. He clearly has issues against women. Watch out with this one. read more

Great work, quick response and so very pleased with the result. Showed up right on time and knocked out our room with vaulted ceilings in a couple of hours. Will call them first for all future projects. read more

Sergey did an excellent job. He arrived on time and was professional. I had him paint two interior rooms

It takes luck to find a professional, reliable and trustworthy painting company to work with. I am glad to find Creative Minds. Sergry came out on time to look at my house for interior paint. He gave me a quote document with clear details. The paint that he recommended met my needs exactly. He sent me a link for the recommended paint info so I knew exactly what type of paint and brand he used. He started at 8am on time everyday. He did a great job and communicated to me at the end of the day since I was not there. He finished the job a bit early then he estimated and touched up a few things for me as well. I highly recommend Creative Minds and already recommended this company to my friends. I will definitely use Creative Minds in the future. read more

My appologies for my prior review. I was mistaken. I had overlooked the notification of the quote given for the project. It was competitive and delivered on time. This was an honest mistake on my part. read more

Extremely happy with these guys and the work they did. Sergey came to look the day after I called and the estimate arrived the day after that. (This was in contrast to another firm we'd used before, who took ages to come and look, no-showed once, then took ages to send their super-high estimate). Yes, they are booked up pretty far in advance, but they are up front about that and kept me informed, so no surprises. I felt the price was reasonable, considering the work involved. Sergey took trouble to make sure we got the colors/finishes I wanted, and advised on areas where I wasn't sure. They showed up precisely on time for the first day of work and completed the whole job amazingly quickly, leaving everything tidy each evening. I believe a few tiny bits of white paint strayed onto door handles, but really nothing to worry about. Everything else looks great. For quality of work I'd give 4.5 stars, for ease of working with them, at least 6 stars. Wish other house projects were this easy! Strongly recommended. read more

Sergey came on time for the quote, with the Kelly Moore paint brochure so we could talk about colors. He and his helper powerwashed the house one day, came back the following week to do the painting. He said they would finish in 2-3 days, and they finished in 2 days. When I pointed out that a mesh attic vent cover had been ripped in the painting process, he bought a new one, painted and installed it. Nicely handled! The best part: they removed and painted our front door gate, door and door jamb. Every time I walk through the front door, I feel terrific about how great our house looks. read more

Sergey and Yuri painted our kitchen cabinets (white dove) and it's really brightened up our space. They arrived at 8 every morning, finished the job on time, and were so quiet that we weren't disrupted at all during the 2 1/2 days they were here. They were so receptive on touch ups needed during the walk through and so patient.Thank you sergey and Yuri! read more

Sergey and Creative Minds Painting were wonderful! This is the second time that we have used them for painting in the interior of our condo. About a year ago, we hired Creative Minds Painting to paint our kitchen, kitchen cabinets, and all of the door frames and crown moulding throughout our home. The did a great job - they kept everything clean and the end result was like getting a brand new kitchen! This time around, the condo unit next door had a fire that caused smoke damage to our unit which required repainting several rooms. Creative Minds just finished painting both of our bathrooms, the ceilings throughout our entire home, and our master bedroom. We couldn't be more pleased with the results! Sergey has been a pleasure to deal with since our initial email. He is prompt, courteous, professional, and gets the job done in a timely manner. We would definitely hire them again in the future and completely recommend them for any of your painting needs! read more

Highly recommend! We had the exterior of our house painted. Sergey is responsive and easy to work with. You can tell they take pride in their work. They are professional and very detailed in their work. Our paint job was finished in 4 days as promised. They arrived at 8 am every day and had everything cleaned up by 5 pm. Without a doubt, I would hire them again. read more

Sergey and his partner did an excellent job painting interior of our condo. Sergey is very responsible, easy to reach over phone/email and pretty efficient at what he does! His attention to details and experience shows in the results of his work. We highly recommend Sergey and his team to anyone who values excellence in service. Thank you, Creative Minds! read more

We are very happy with our decision to go with Creative Minds to have our House Exterior painted. Their prices are very reasonable. Sergey is an upstanding guy who takes great pride in his business and has integrity. Our house looks great! The job was completed in 4 days, as promised. They were very easy to work with and accommodating with our schedule. We had to make some changes and Sergey had no issue with quickly adjusting the estimate accordingly without us having to say anything. For the final payment, I mistakenly looked at the original estimate and Sergey noticed it immediately and made sure it was corrected. He could've easily walked away with a couple of extra hundred dollars and I wouldn't have noticed it. Sergey and his partner, Yuri did a great job from start to finish. We will definitely hire them again! And, we highly recommend them! read more

I had a plumbing issue that left a stain on my 15 foot ceiling. It's not a big deal but I felt I need professional help because the last time I attempted this the result didn't turn out so well. For such a minor job, Sergey made time from his busy schedule (he's has 2 months backlog when I contacted him). He took care to cover up all your furniture and curtains, and even touched up a few spots on our house. He's very detailed and meticulous. I'm quite happy with his work. read more

My wife and I worked with Sergey to have our San Mateo Townhome painted. In the universe of painting work, I would assume that our townhome is a minor job, but Sergey always treated us as a priority. Other painters were difficult to contact or made it hard for us to get an estimate, but Sergey responded promptly and gave me a same day estimate. Sergey contacted us several times to coordinate a date to get the painting completed. When the day of the painting actually arrived, Sergey and Yuri worked extremely efficiently, but also did a great job. We literally had 2 minor touchups on our small house after they were done. All the lighting and sockets were accounted for, etc. Pricing was very competitive with the 3 quotes we got, and the job ended up being priced right at the estimate. I would definitely recommend working with Creative Minds read more

Creative Minds Painting & Decorating painted the inside of our entire house few years back. Sergey did an amazing job. He's very professional and courteous. Will definitely go back to them for any of my painting needs. read more

I got a quote from 7 painters in the Peninsula area and Sergey gave me the lowest. The avg price was 1k more and the most expensive came in at a lil less than 2k from Sergey's quote. Sergey painted the bottom portion of my home in 3 days. First day was power washing, second day was prep and primer, and 3rd day was the topcoat. We had a lil miscommunication on what should be painted but Sergey took care of the issue with no questions asked. I'd definitely call Sergey for any future paint work or recommend him. read more

Sergei and Yuri just finished our house - squeaking it in just before the rain is about to begin. They were incredibly professional, always on time, responsive to any comments, and touched up for an extra hour at the end until I was 100% satisfied (and I'm very picky). Nice clean up job too! They primed areas that had been peeling, pressure washed the whole house before work began, painted the entire exterior and an outside shed (including all doors). Their bid was the best of the 3 "recommended" painters I contacted. To top things off Sergei just emailed me to tell me I HAD OVERPAID by $900 by mistake (a mix up in the 2 bids I had received from them). Who does that? Easy 5 stars. Will be using them in the future, no doubt. read more

We are absolutely thrilled with the job that Sergey and his colleague Yuri did on our house. They are professional, efficient, knowledgeable, detailed oriented, punctual and their quote was significantly less than some of the larger painting companies we called. This is the third time we've had one of our houses painted and the quality of Sergey's work is by far the best. Highly recommend these guys! read more

Sergey Shevtsov and his partner, Yuri, are the two painters behind Creative Minds. We read the many favorable reviews on Yelp before hiring them. In short, they did not disappoint and did a fabulous job on our home. A brief description of our home would be helpful here. It is 13 years old, has 2100 square feet and four bedrooms, and has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in one room that are at least 16 feet high. We interviewed one other highly-rated painter for the job. Creative Minds was not cheap, but their quote was several thousand dollars lower than the other bid and at the end of the day, was a great value. We liked the idea of having only two people with their own business and extensive experience paint the home. Our hunch was right. Both Sergey and Yuri take a lot of pride in what they do and are meticulous perfectionists. To start with, they removed all power outlet and light switch plates. Their edging is phenomenal. Like many homes, our home has baseboards bordered by carpet. Somehow they managed to paint the baseboards flush against the edge of the carpet, with no evidence anywhere of so much as a speck of paint on the carpet. They had to move the refrigerator to paint behind it. There was no damage to the refrigerator and the nook looks great. We hired another contractor to install crown molding in every room of our home, as well as install beams on the vaulted ceiling. In addition to painting our entire home, Creative Minds prepped and painted the crown molding and beams. The detailing for the beams had to be performed on scaffolding because of the vaulted ceiling. Here, too, their work was flawless, showing great attention to detail. They also textured several areas on the walls and ceilings. One area, in particular, had been an eyesore for us because it had previously been textured improperly in several places. They did a great job on this and all areas and there is no evidence that those areas were ever any different than the rest of the wall/ceiling. Work on our home took about 7 1/2 days, just as they estimated. Given the size of the home and the amount of work to be done, this timeline was very reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves every night and made sure that the kitchen was suitable for us to prepare meals and that we could sleep in our bed while they were working on the job. I highly recommend Creative Minds. They are meticulous and efficient. Their painting almost seemed artistic in its attention to detail and pride in what they do. We will be using them again to paint the exterior of our home. read more

Sergey Shevtsov and Creative Minds painting is a sure shot if you're looking for a job well done. Sergey was on time, worked efficiently, was conscientious of the finished work around him and cleaned up not only after the project, but while he worked. He is a very polite gentleman who's goal is a quality job at a great value. Based on the quality and value of his work, we will be using him over and over again on our future project. Sergey and Creative Minds painting is highly recommended if you have any painting, washing or wall paper needs. He will be straight forward with you, make great recommendations and will work with you to get you what you want and the end result will please you. read more

Serg is very busy, but he found a few hours to paint our bathrooms. He did a great job, was fast, cleaned up, and reasonably priced! I can't recommend him enough, and we will be calling him again when we paint more of our rooms. read more

Sergey and Yuri of Creative Minds Painting did a great job of painting the interior of our home, including all closets and cabinets. They worked quickly and efficiently, and kept on budget. Sergey was very accommodating when I added a few extra jobs like removing some built-in shelving, varnishing our bannister and touching up some exterior stucco after a remodeling job. They are professional painters, who are knowledgeable and know their craft. They are reasonably priced and do quality work. I would definitely hire them again. read more

Our experience was very similar to Steve D.'s below: found Sergey on Yelp, called him and he stopped by that same day. Sergey gave us a very reasonable quote, and he did a wonderful job! We started with one interior room and then decided to do the entire exterior of our house. Sergey does one of the cleanest paint jobs I've seen (no over-spray, no collateral damage...). He also works very quickly. We had to change the schedule around a few times and that was no problem for him. When he says he'll be there, he's there. Lastly, we threw a few last minute requests at him (stair rails, threshold, etc.) and, again, no problem. If you want a great, professional paint job at a reasonable price, you found the right guy. read more

Wow! Simply amazing work by Sergey and Yuri. Not only did beat three other quotes but he also beat their job completion timeframe. His job quote to not only paint the interior but also resurface the ceiling was ridiculously more competitive than the other three quotes received in the Peninsula. They promised to complete the job in 12-13 days whereas Sergey completed it in 6 days. Sergey is prompt, courteous, a pro and a pleasure to work with. I will refer him to others as his work is top notch. read more

Sergey and Yuri did a very nice job painting my house. Sergey is very detailed oriented and worked quickly to get the painting done as promised. These guys are professionals and didn't cut any corners. There were a couple of hard-to-get & hidden spots that they could have skipped, but they took it as a challenge to completely paint those spots as well for a complete quality job. I got a few quotes and Sergey's quote was right in line at a very reasonable rate. I will use Sergey again and again and highly recommend him. read more

We hired Creative Minds to paint the outside of our house. Sergey was great to work with. His quote was competitive. He gave me an estimated start date a month ahead of time, confirmed the week before, and started on the dot at 8 am. He continued to start promptly at 8 am for the rest of the project and finished in exactly the number of days he estimated. Sergey and Yuri worked quickly but clearly put a lot of hard work into prepping our well worn siding. The paint job looks great. They made sure to get the details right. Without question, he covered extra details like a set of outdoor steps that other companies specifically excluded in their quotes. We'll definitely hire Creative Minds again when we are ready to paint the interior of our house. read more

I only wish all trades were this good. Simply put, Sergey and Yuri ROCK!! We had them paint the entire interior of the house prior to move in and we could not be happier! They communicate promptly and efficiently, did not mind adding some exterior work to fill and color match some of the corbels that had split, and even stopped by another house to do some patching that was beyond my skill level. When I told Sergey I did not need the left over paint he said he would keep it for a week or two "just in case". The very next day when replacing ceiling lights I ended up with unpainted areas because I forgot to tell Sergey they would be replaced. I emailed Sergey and as always, it was "not a problem" and he came by the next day late after finishing another job to fix me up. Most important, Sergey found things I missed and just took care of it. As Steven D said, no need to shop around these guys are the real deal and treat your home like they would treat their home. read more

I found Creative Minds Painting through Yelp & the reviews here were spot on! Sergy & his partner came on time & finished my small job quickly! Thank you so much for squeezing my job into your busy schedule! Sergy was very nice to work with & great with emails! I feel awesome now that this job is completed & I don't have to worry about exposed wood anymore! read more

It's been 2 years since I first met and contracted Sergey & Yuri to paint the interior of our house, and, as I prepare to arrange the follow-up painting for imminent major repairs of our windows and exterior and interior walls, I realize that I never reviewed their work. Two years ago, our family had just moved into our house and, although the interior had been painted immediately before we moved in, we needed several spaces to be re-done: the trim and ceiling in the master bath where it had been painted with the wrong finish; the stairway and upstairs hallway where movers had scratched the paint; the ceiling in the family room and dining room where afternoon sunlight revealed every roller stroke; a downstairs half-bath that had been mistakenly painted in a flat finish; and one living room wall that showed significant flashing. As I emphasized to Sergey at the time, I was most concerned with quality of work and minimal disruption of the household. He responded to my request for an estimate the same day I called, and we were able to schedule the work for about a month later, estimating it would only require 2 days. As one would expect, they removed all switch faceplates and the wall handrail before painting. Although Sergey cautioned that the family room ceiling would be especially difficult to paint without revealing flaws in the afternoon light, as it turns out, that and everything else that was done by Sergey & Yuri was done impeccably. I'm hoping to be able to get Creative Minds to do work for me later this year. In the meantime, though, this belated review is meant to add my voice to the many others who've commented positively about their work -- I can unreservedly recommend them. read more
