DaSilva Painting recently completed painting the interior of my home in San Mateo. I had hired a previous painting company that literally did a horrendous job painting my ceilings and walls, so naturally I was distrustful to try again. After interviewing 11 painting companies, I chose DaSilva Painting to redo my painting, for 3 main reasons: 1) When Marcos came to meet with me (twice!), not only was he knowledgeable but he knew I had been burned and did everything possible to gain my trust and to reassure me that he would be responsible for the end results. This went a long way for me after what I had gone through. 2) They had excellent reviews. 3) Their bid was reasonable. Aside from repainting, there were some ceilings and walls that needed drywall smoothing from previous roof leaks and also from the horrendous texturing that the previous painting company did. I am happy to say that the results from DaSilva Painting's job are truly fantastic. All the promises Marcos made to me were fulfilled. Along the way when I had concerns, his partner Maria who works in the office was very eager to immediately address and they did. They were both eager to make sure that I was satisfied as their client. I am very happy with my home now (what a difference!). The drywall smoothing turned out great, the texturing is beautiful as is the painting, and they were meticulous about their cleanup. I highly recommend DaSilva Painting for your painting, texturing and drywall smoothing needs. You will be very happy! read more

DaSilva Painting delivered a high-quality, professional exterior paint job on my family's two category A historic single-family homes in the Sunset District of San Francisco. They did an outstanding job restoring and painting our 100-year-old wood siding, making it look like new. We were especially concerned about chipping paint and water intrusion which DaSilva Painting handled with great care. They thoroughly abated all loose, old paint and carefully sealed cracks, holes, and siding joints before painting everything to our specifications. We made some last-minute changes to our body and trim colors which DaSilva Painting handled without issue. They also adjusted their schedule to accommodate our carpenters who needed extra time to address unexpected dry rot. We're very happy we chose DaSilva Painting for this project and highly recommend them to anyone renovating a San Francisco home! Especially one with historic character. read more

DaSilva Painting - Two single-family houses. - Painters Near Me

Da Silva Painting never disappoints. The crew is always professional, very nice. It's a family small business, so there is extra care. Maria, the point of contact, is very easy to work with. I have used their services for a few properties, exterior and interior painting. If an area was missed, No issues are raised, the painters return to fix the missing area. There never has been a complaint from a tenant or neighbor. I feel lucky to have found a responsible painting company. Photos of staining and painting the deck. read more

Marcio DaSilva and his team are A+! Their bids are competitive, the work is excellent and Marcio is a pleasure to work with. Great communication. We've had Marcio do several paint jobs. He always wants to know we are completely satisfied and will come back and fix anything if needed. read more

This is my second review of Da Silva painting, having used them several years ago for another project. Having restored several San Francisco buildings over the last 50 years, I have had the opportunity to work with some 30+ contractors over this time, covering general construction, painting, roofing, plumbing, electrical, etc. Among the multiple painters used for both interior and exterior painting over this time, DaSilva painting is the best painting firm I have ever used by far. Everything about Da Silva painting is based on quality. From the moment you interact with Maria, and then receive their estimate, you know your project will be done correctly. Watching Maria 's crews, you cannot help but notice the manner in which they interact with one another - they truly like and care for each other - and each crew member is unbelievably detail oriented and focused on doing the job right. Many painters will skip essential preparation steps in a hurry to apply the paint and quickly finish a job. Unfortunately such an approach results in a paint job that will not last. Maria and her paint crews led by Lúcio do not do this. True professionals, the preparation they again performed for the exterior of our building, this time for the front, was substantial and flawless. I have absolutely no doubt that this paint job will last for many, many, years. True old world craftsmanship. I wholeheartedly recommend DaSilva painting. If you are looking for a quality paint job, with responsible workers who arrive every day by 8am, word hard except for a lunch break, know what needs to be done to do something correctly, will leave the work site spotless at 5pm when they leave, and will complete your project on time, look no farther. read more

De Silva painting was top notch! Most friendly customer service and quality work within budget made them the best I've worked with on my home project! Highly recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

I highly recommend DaSilva for painting and construction work. They have done an amazing job on several projects at my triplex in San Francisco. They are prompt, stick with their bid and are flexible with any changes that might arise. They also leave the space clean and dust free when finished. You not regret choosing DaSilva for your home improvement project! read more

DaSilva painting did a great job painting the exterior of our house. They were thorough and accommodated all of our requests. They even worked on weekends to get the job done on time. Maria was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole project. They were also reasonably priced. I highly recommend them! read more

I hired DaSilva Painting to paint our house and we are very happy with the result and the entire process. Maria and Marco, the coo-owners are very easy to work with and very accommodating, and their pricing is very competitive with the other 7 quotes that I received, plus they offered a 5 years labor warranty. We were told the entire process will take about 2 weeks to complete and they took exactly 2 weeks to finish. They had mostly 2 workers onsite and sometime 3. I must say their workers, Juan and Jessie were the primary painters, and they are very professional and easy to work with. During the process, they damaged my security alarm sign by accident and Marco quickly offered to replace it, and this to me is responsibility. I highly recommend DaSilva Painting company for all your painting needs. read more

DaSilva Painting - Painters Near Me

DaSilva painted the exterior of our Edwardian home. Overall I would absolutely recommend them. Dealing with contractors can definitely suck, but DaSilva was great to work with. We got a few quotes - another highly reviewed company on Yelp came in 30-40% higher than DaSilva and a third came in a little under. Maybe because we did it early in the season, but their books were open and we were to schedule it when it was best for us. Working with them was very easy. Maria is super responsive and made coordinating and working through issues a breeze. Overall, we added a few extras to our project which they were able to do without problem - we stripped down one wall completely down to bare wood, made some wood rot repairs, added gold leaf accents, added a texture additive to our front steps, and they also polished some brass used by our windows. After the work was done, there were a couple spots that had the paint bubble up. They came back, sanded it down, and repainted. A couple spots were stubborn and they came back several times for our front door. Eventually they reached out to the paint manufacturer who recommended stripping the door completely down and repainting it. While it took longer than expected and was a bit of a hassle, DaSilva came back, did the extra work of completely stripping it down, and left us with a great result. Many other companies would have left us high and dry. They did a great job overall and I would highly recommend them! read more

I hired Marcos and his team to resurface, paint, and do some minor renovation work when I purchased a home. They were stellarly efficient, affordable, got everything done on time (Despite this being quite a large project), and the house looks incredible afterwards. There were a few places I nicked after moving in the house and they touched those up no questions asked. The walls also had a terrible texture prior to them being here. They completely resurfaced the plaster walls into a beautiful finish! The project was complex because it involved removal of some fixtures in the house, replacement of light fixtures and light switches, painting different surfaces different colors, painting many windows, removing carpet from stairs and repainting & restaining the stairs, not painting some surfaces, all across probably 9 different rooms. They did it all just as I asked, even though I wasn't there! Followed instructions to a T! I should also mention they were the most affordable option I quoted out! I've included before & after pictures of one of the rooms so you can get an idea. read more

Our century-old home was in bad need of an exterior paint job. It was painted by another painter just a few years ago, but the paint was peeling so badly from the terrible prep job that we had to have the whole exterior repainted. My neighbor recommended DaSilva, who'd done such a beautiful job on her home, and I couldn't be happier with the work they did on my home. They spent most of the time prepping the original wood siding, which lengthened the duration of the job. But I was actually happy, because I knew the slight delay meant they were being thorough and meticulous. And the cost of the job was not affected. I was a bit nervous given COVID, but the painters all wore masks. Because I am now working from home, I interacted with them quite a bit, and they were all so kind and helpful. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I'm no longer embarrassed by my horrible-looking home! When we get around to painting our interior, I'll definitely give DaSilva a ring! read more

We hired DaSilva to paint our cabinets, paint some interior walls and ceilings, paint the full exterior of our house, and epoxy the garage. Some micromanagement was required, but they were extremely responsive to all details and fixed items that were not done properly the first time. The team had to negotiate fixing dry rot caused by a difficult neighbor, and even that went quite well. Most impressively, in all cases the work was done on schedule. read more

Communication started out well, but then " a No Show" for appointment. Odd as last called me 2 days in advance to set/ confirm. Then I wait ALL morning...nothing! @ 1:30p...30 min late with NO communication...I call office again...leave detailed message...still NOTHING! waited at house until 2:30p...no show, NO courtesy call... NO response update from office!!! Marcos my written communication with you was fine...no complaints. I immediately called the office to set up viewing appointment...as requested..Sat. 2/15 11:45a. Two days later on Monday 2/17 (Presidents day)...around 3p a lady calls back from your business to set up appt. We set appointment for Wednesday 2/19 1p. She took name, number, address.. and confirmed twice. read more

We contacted six painting companies for quotes on our home painting, five with 5 yelp reviews. We chose DaSilva based mostly on our interview with Maria and pricing. The 10 day project turned out perfectly and communication was always prompt. Kudos to Wilder and Eric, the primary painters. Later we'll do interiors and check in first with DaSilva. Very happy! read more

We found out about DaSilva painting on Nextdoor and then verified reviews with Yelp. We couldn't have been more pleased with the communication, team, COVID safety, price, and end product. Our home's exterior paint was very run down, but now looks like a whole new house. The team was professional, thorough, helpful, and paid attention to every detail. I would HIGHLY recommend using DaSilva for any painting job. read more

I had selected DaSilva Painting a couple of years ago for interior painting, and was really happy with their work and overall professionalism. So when we had this really big job of exterior painting a 4 story building with a light well and several decks, I contacted them for a quote. Bottom line, I selected to work with them again, and I'm so happy I did! From proposal to contract, to talking me through waiting for dry weather after the atmospheric rivers, we are very happy with our beautifully painted property. Maria is an excellent communicator, always positive and direct. read more

I used DaSilva Painting to repaint an entire floor of my house, which included six rooms including the walls, ceilings and windows. They came and provided an estimate within two days. I got multiple estimates and DaSilva was reasonably priced. They started the job a couple weeks later and finished nine or ten days after that. It is a family owned business and the crew was very friendly. I'm pleased with the results and would hire them again. Most of the time was spend prepping before multiple coats of paint was applied. read more

We used DaSilva painting to paint the front of our house (stucco), garage door, planter boxes, and our back downspout and door. We are very happy with the experience and quality - the crew was also very professional and cleaned up after each day. There were a few areas that required the crew to come back to touch up or fix and we highly appreciated the customer service around this. Maria and Marcos were great to work with and very communicative. Would highly recommend and will also use DaSilva in the future. read more

Great process from start to finish. Hard working team and everything looks fantastic. Very responsive and came out for agreed upon touch-ups. read more

We hired DaSilva a second time to remove the stucco ceiling and paint over the ceiling for the rest of our house. This time, I had to advocate with Maria for her workers to fix shoddy work. It was not perfect immediately. But Maria instantaneously scheduled to visit the house and go over my problem areas, and has her staff fix it. I will continue recommending DaSilva and Maria to anyone for their painting or stucco popcorn ceiling removal. Maria is the glue to keep the company running so well! read more

I am a returning cosutemer of DaSilva Paintings. I have used them almost every year for different painting projects. This year I hired them to repair all the cracked window caulking, re-painting, replacing rotten wood panels and poles. Marcos and his crew are very professioial, very resposible. Price is fair with very good quaility. Spetial thanks to Maria as well for her coordination and fast response as always even during weekends! I will definitely use them again in the future! Thank you Marcos, Maria and your crew! read more

We called last minute after water damage ruined our floors and they responded super quickly and with lots of availability to help us with the paint job! We are very happy with the end result and the costs were very transparent along the way! Would certainly use them again. read more

We have used Marcos and his crew for several projects, both interior and exterior at our new home in the Castro and our previous home in the Haight. They always do a fabulous job, show up when they say they will, and have competitive pricing. Angel did an especially incredible job caulking and painting our baseboards during our last project. It is truly such a pleasure working with such a reliable company after working with so many flaky contractors. Highly recommend. read more

We didn't have a very big job. Just a ceiling repaired after a big leak in the garage. But they came out immediately, were on time for the estimate, sent the estimate the same day (and it was the lowest bid we got, too! By hundreds of dollars!) Once we accepted the bid, we set up an appointment to do the work. They were able to come out in just a few days. Fernando came out, was right on time, and was friendly, communicative, and hard working. He was here for the first day to do the prep work, and he let me know when he would be back for the next part of the job. He came back when he said he would, finished the job, cleaned everything up so that it looks super, and even left the extra paint for touch ups else where. When I look at the patch job, I can't even tell. He did a super job. I will definitely hire this company again if I have drywall, patching or painting to be done. And if possible, I would request Fernando for the job. read more

The DaSilva team was efficient, tidy, considerate, timely and most importantly good at their work. They painted my entire home's exterior and actually improved on its prior paint job with some unexpected trim and new painting touches. Next time I need the house repainted I know who I will call. read more

We worked with DaSilva painting to paint the interior of our home. Even though they provided one of the higher bids we received, we selected them because of their excellent Yelp reviews. In the end, we were largely disappointed. There were lots of errors and sloppy work that needed to be corrected. It was also frustrating that two of their painters would regularly leave food and trash around the house and cigarettes in the yard. To their credit, Marcos and Maria were very responsive whenever we raised issues--but we wish they would have managed this better on their own. read more

Update: They came out to repaint (and prime) kitchen and the quality seems better than before. Updating to 3 stars. I would've given them 4 or 5 stars if there wasn't all this back and forth. Communication was really good, much better than a lot of other folks. I would even think about using them again at this point. I recently hired Da Silva to drywall and paint a kitchen I'm remodeling. The quality of the drywall work seems fine at this point but the painting was done very poorly. First, they originally only applied one coat and there were lots of spot where the drywall showed. To their credit, when I called them they returned (after I had already paid) to apply another coat. But more concerning was that I am already seeing spots where paint is flaking/bubbling off. My guess is that they didn't properly clean the drywall or apply any primer. When I used some masking tape (the purple "delicate" type) it peeled off large areas of paint all along the baseboard. They're communication was good and timely and the drywall quote was competitive, but the painting was expensive and poorly done. read more

My 1709th review goes to Marcos, Maria and the rest of their Brazilian dream team. We needed to paint our whole 1BR condo in front of AT&T Park including the entryway, doors and trim and they did an amazing job. We are really happy with how the place turned out. Marcos is always on time and delivered on his promises. Once we have the floors in, he will paint the trim, touch-up paint and do a final cleanup so I will post photos of the final product! This was the first time that I went through a paint and drywall job from a water leak so I freaked out about the usual dust, but Marcos was reassuring and my husband said they did a great job at dust control. I would highly recommend him and his team to everyone and will hire him for future projects. He is well worth the money (his prices are reasonable) and a trustworthy contractor. read more

Marcio's team did an excellent job with our interior painting. Very good attention to detail and responsive to all questions/minor concerns. Would definitely work with them again. read more

We hired them to paint the interior of our house and they were AWFUL. We found huge drips on the walls and trim and they got paint everywhere, including our wood cabinets, hardwood floors, windows, window handles, fireplace, door handles, and even the exterior of our house and deck. They also began mudding the walls without removing the wall switch covers or protecting our ceiling fan, which was damaged when they tried to clean it after getting plaster all over it. They were sloppy, careless, and on the last day they rushed to finish the work. We later realized that there was a large section of one wall that hadn't been painted (a giant square on the wall above the door). We decided to work with them because of their yelp reviews and are baffled at how professional painters could do such a terrible, careless job. There was no one supervising the work, and when we called Maria to complain she seemed to expect me to supervise and tell the workers where they needed to fix things. I would not recommend this company. The attached pictures should speak for themselves. Edit after seeing the owners response: LOL. Yes, these were in progress photos. Their method seems to be do a poor job, hope no one notices, and then maybe try to fix it later. There are still visible drips on our crown mounding and walls that we did not notice before they left. They did not clean up after themselves very well. They left the splatters on the fireplace as well as paint on several door and window handles and on the sink. I also cleaned up a lot of paint splatters from our wood floors after they left. read more

Make sure to ask about timing. your small job can put you out a week if they use you as filler for other jobs

We hired DaSilva to initially come bid for a fairly large paint job involving our exterior. They did such a wonderful job that we then extended the job and had them do the interior walls as well. They were very good about listening to our requests and concerns and were very attentive, respectful and really did thorough prep and painting. Highly recommend! read more

Been using DaSilva as a sub contractor for several years. Highly recommended for quality of work and responsiveness.

I paid DaSilva a good sum to remove popcorn ceilings, refinish the ceilings to a smooth surface, and prime and paint. To start, Marcos was only on site for very brief periods. It was up to me to tell the guys on site that per the contract everything needed to come down off the ceilings (repeated this for several days). The machine screws needed to mount fixtures back to the electrical boxes are just gone, and proving difficult to replace as different boxes need different lengths and widths of these screws. I should have also communicated in the contract that the walls need to be left intact. When I came back expecting the job to be finished, every wall in the house had massive holes in it from where Command adhesive velcro strips were ripped off the walls. Maria called and asked for payment for the completed job while I was there as if I would be okay with that amount of destruction. Unfortunately trying to communicate this with Maria (who you mainly deal with instead of Marcos) is impossible because communication is one way with her. You try to say something and she keeps right on talking over everything you are trying to say. She would only bring up again and again that she communicated in an email that due to the difference in height of the old and new ceiling that the walls would require some paint for this exact reason. In the same email I asked if everything would be in a finished state so I could just paint the walls without any additional work and she said yes. After 5 minutes of talking over me she finally listened and agreed to send someone over. This was eventually resolved through additional work, but they should have proactively contacted me over the hundreds of holes they left in the walls rather than leaving it to surprise. A few days ago (a month after they left) I put up a strip of tape on the ceiling to protect it while I did some painting on the walls. I didn't press on it, just placed it for positioning, but I needed to reposition it though, so I peeled it off, and chunks of the new paint came off. Apparently they didn't sufficiently remove the drywall dust from the ceiling before they painted so there is abysmal adherence. I brushed off the remaining dust, and patched it up. I hope that is an isolated issue because they worked on over 1900sqft of ceiling. Today I tried to reinstall the closet track and doors in the primary bedroom. The first thing I noticed is that the ceiling was very curved in that area when I placed the flat closet track against it. I screwed it in anyway, and went to put the first door in...unfortunately it would not go in on the right side. Turns out the new ceiling is much lower in the center of the closet doorway. It's an 8 foot span, so noticing a lower ceiling there is difficult. I took the door out and started sliding it along the floor to check clearance outside the track. The door is millimeters from the ceiling in the center now on the bare floor. Unfortunately when combined with the height of the closet door track from the floor, and the height of the upper closet door track and its screws, the new ceiling is so low in the center that the closet doors literally cannot work in the space they once occupied, they are too tall to slide in the track, and impossible to reinstall. All told, the center of the closet opening is ¾" lower than the sides. I'm not sure how this is going to get resolved. What a mess. There's so much more, but only so much space to write on yelp. If you're getting similar work done, make sure you get a company that communicates well with you and their workers and documents everything and is open with you about any complications that may arise before they start, and issues as they come up. read more

Our property has undergone a complete transformation thanks to DaSilva Painting! From dry rot and sheet rock repair to interior and exterior painting, we couldn't be happier with their amazing workmanship and professionalism. Conscientious and tidy at every juncture, with great communication. They are top notch all around, and we highly recommend them. It's hard to believe how beautiful everything is now! Before, we had peeling paint throughout, and chips and holes in the ceiling! read more

Had a great experience with DaSilva Painting. Maria was out to complete estimate as scheduled. A few days later the DaSilva team did excellent work to repair drywall and paint my bathroom. Quality work in a short period of time. Would use DaSilva again and would also recommend to others. read more

The DaSilva team was fantastic to deal with on every level. My HOA wanted our building painted. From a technical standpoint, it was a somewhat challenging job. It required putting up painting via scaffolding in a very narrow alley as well as in a tight stairwell. The DaSilva team handled it all very well. When we had an issue with neighbors that caused problems with setting up the scaffolding, the DaSilva team was very patient in handling it and working through to a positive resolution. Their customer service was excellent. The takeaway is that despite a range of challenges (not of their creation) the DaSilva team shone throughout the process and the house looks terrific! read more

DaSilva Painting did an excellent job with paint and wallpaper in my condo. The job involved different colours and finishes, including accent walls throughout - everything was completed impeccably. Marcos was punctual to all our appointments. Maria was responsive in our communications throughout the project. I really appreciated that the team was able to deliver great work on a tight timeline to accommodate my move-in schedule. One wall that was painted in the wrong colour was corrected right away without causing delay to the timeline. Highly recommend and would work with DaSilva Painting again for future projects. read more
