I would give 10 stars to DunnRite. With so many things to do buying my first house, I would play it safe and go with an off-white through the house instead of adding more to my overwhelming plate. Mark mentioned that choosing colors I love would be a great gift to myself during this time and "Home is where the heart is, and we are painting the inside of your heart." Choosing colors can be scary, but Mark's expertise made it a fun breeze. In just 20 min he lead me to personal colors I love instead of settling! They discovered some previous poor drywall repairs causing problems in my ceiling and windows, sent me photos, and gave me an excellent price for the extra work. It's worth mentioning that I was out of town for work while part of the work was being done, and Mark even coordinated two utility connections that would have been delayed. I returned home to ease and beauty. Talk about Full Service; thank you, DunnRite Painting!! I'll be contacting you for the outside soon. read more

Love Mark & his crews! We've used his services for almost 20 years now on multiple houses, big & small projects & always 100% satisfied!!

We were very satisfied with Dunnrite Painting from start to finish. The estimate we recieved was lower than others who were not even licensed as was Dunnrite and when asked any questions they had no problems. We needed our exterior painted by a certain date and they completed way ahead of time without sacrificing quality. I would recommend Dunnrite for any job and will plan on using them in our future painting projects. Thanks Mark and crew. James Hill read more

Update as of 8/25/21: I feel exactly the same about this business. The owners rant response 4 years later (last week), only firm up my opinion. He was absolutely terrible to work with (PERIOD). read more

My husband and I have an old home and had been wanting new exterior paint for a few years. While driving around Redlands we noticed another old home being painted by DunnRite and it looked amazing. We contacted them and set up a time that worked for both of us. Once they got started our home was completely finished in just about a week and a half. We LOVE it. It looks fresh and beautiful. The attention to detail was great and they obviously have a lot of experience. The owner, Mark, was very responsive and friendly. Ready to make recommendations but was not pushy at all and respected our decisions. His crew was professional and hardworking. Communicated well when they would be around/what they needed. Very independent. Cleaned up when they were finished. Mark came by throughout the week to supervise/inspect and when the house was finished he did a final walk through with us to make sure we were satisfied. Reasonably priced and the cost did not fluctuate much from the estimate - it only did because we opted for a few upgrades, which Mark was upfront about in price. We are very happy with our home and would welcome DunnRite back in the future. We highly recommend their skills and service. read more

We can't say enough thank you's for the spectacular work that was done on our house. We live in the mountains in a 95 year old cabin and Mark made sure that the paint was weather rated in order to protect our paradise. His crew was so efficient even our neighbors remarked about them. We recommend them to only those who want quality, efficiency, and an excellent price. Mike and Susie read more

I had an all-around terrible experience with DunnRite painting. My wood house was built in 1920. I hired them to touch up some spots in the interior where I had had some new windows installed and to strip and re-paint the exterior window trim and a door that was chipping. When the boss Mark St. John came by to give me a quote, he seemed really competent and knowledgeable, and he had a lead-safe certification, and I felt good about it, so I hired him. I waited for about 6 weeks for him to get finished with other jobs, and during that time, communication wasn't great. I finally heard from him around 2pm on a Sunday saying they were ready to start work the following day. I asked what time they would be arriving, and he didn't respond to my message until 7pm that evening, saying that they would be starting at 7am the next morning. Great, thanks for the warning. He arrived with his crew, went over the work to be done, and then he left, leaving just his crew to do the work. He did not give me a written contract. Right away, I wasn't super confident in the work the crew was doing. They were getting dust everywhere and weren't even wearing simple dust masks (so much for lead-safe practices), they didn't take down the door I'd asked them to strip and paint but were instead just kind of scraping away at it as it was flopping around on its hinges. They didn't strip or fully scrape off the chipping paint, and I didn't realize what was going on until they had instead filled in the cracks between the chipping paint with wood filler and then primed over it using an interior-rated primer. After they left for the day, I inspected the work more carefully and decided that I was NOT satisfied and that I needed to say something about it. I texted Mark saying I wasn't happy and sent him some photos, asking him to come over the following morning to go over the work and discuss a solution. I followed up a few hours later with an e-mail. My full list of complaints was as follows: - Failure to adequately scrape or otherwise remove existing paint from surfaces, instead doing only minimal scraping and some sanding and then priming over surfaces that still had chipping paint and applying wood filler to conceal chipping paint - Failure to adequately control sanding dust inside the house when working outside by closing the windows or applying plastic covers to the insides of the windows when they needed to remain open - Failure to adequately cover floors and furniture inside when working inside - Failure to vacuum or adequately wipe dust from surfaces prior to painting - Using a shellac-based interior-rated primer on large exterior surfaces - Reluctance to remove door hardware prior to painting - Painting portions of the kitchen window trim that were not requested and without first preparing surfaces - Applying paint in the bathroom that was lumpy - Neglecting details, such as the edges of the exterior trim I heard nothing all that evening. The next morning, nobody showed up at 7 like they said they would. Around 8:30, one of the crew guys showed up and said he was just there to collect his stuff and that somebody else would be finishing the job. I still had heard nothing from the boss. I texted Mark saying that the guy had come and gone and asked what was going on. Nothing. Hours later, he wrote back and said "I'm not sure let me check". Never heard from him again. That evening, I e-mailed him to officially let him know he was fired, to give him my list of complaints (above), and to tell him that I was not going to pay him anything. Still never heard back from him, but at this point, I didn't want to. My guess is he figured that it was cheaper and easier for him to cut his losses for a day's labor and just disappear rather than come back and fix the mess the guys made. read more

We used DunnRite to paint several rooms and the ceiling in our new home. They arrived on time for the quote and Mark was very thorough in explaining the process and even made several suggestions for colors. The crew arrived on time and took great care to mask the areas not being painted. The workmanship was high quality and the level of service and responsiveness was great. Will definitely use them again. read more

DunnRite painted the outside of our house five years ago, and we are still very happy with the quality of workmanship.

We hired Dunn Rite Painting to paint the outside of our house in February, 2014. Mark St. John, the owner, was quick to return our initial phone call and then to come to our house to work up a quote. In the meantime, I checked prior reviews and spoke to one of his recent customers, who gave Dunn Rite a glowing review. She was absolutely right. A week later our house was in the process of being freshly painted. The crew of painters was professional in attitude and work ethic. They showed up every day they were scheduled to and worked all day. The day windy weather kept them from spray painting the house they switched to Plan B to work on other items that needed to be done. Their detail work was absolutely immaculate; there were several narrow moulding areas that needed to be painted with a very steady hand and the crew aced it. A year later we're still just as pleased with the exterior paint job and have hired Dunn Rite to paint the inside of our house. read more

The workmanship of Dunn Rite Painting is stellar. Our request was for them to completely change the color scheme of our home from light yellow to deep red/purple and tan. The service provided by Dunn Rite Painting is unmatched and is of a Platinum standard in our book. They painted our house a year ago and we are still getting high compliments from people passing by. In our experience, we saw the Dunn Rite crew as prompt, courteous, professional and genuinely happy to be at our house painting it the requested scheme. Our home is welcoming and it feels like"home" thanks to Dunn Rite Panting. They are the only painters we will use in the future and they are who we recommend to colleagues, family and friends. read more

DunnRite painted the eaves, trim & new entry on our home remodel. The quality of the work is excellent and Mark was able to get us scheduled immediately as we were short on time between various stages of the project. The pricing was right on par with everyone else we received quotes from. Thank you! read more
