Edgar and his team were highly recommended to me by the local paint store. After comparing with…read moreother vendors, we decided to go with Edgar based on the recommendation, very reasonable pricing, and warranty provided. Our exterior paint job was completed in about two weeks time and we could not have been more pleased with the work. Our house looks even better than we expected! Edgar and his team thoroughly prepped our home before painting, gave us some great suggestions, and surprised us with their attention to detail, even taking down and repainting our house numbers. If you're looking for a painter from SF to San Jose, I wholeheartedly recommend Edgar and his team. They truly are great people who take pride in their work.

We brought in two painters for quotes on crack repair and painting of our home interior. The…read morequotes were pretty similar, so we decided to try this local outfit, Mike Garl painting. Mike seemed competent during the quote/interview and stressed that he had a great guy for crack repair, which was very important to us. In the end, the crack repair is the only part of the job that has impressed us. So far, the cracks are invisible, and we did note that the repair process looked very thorough. However, the painting work performed by Mike's crew was sub-par. They missed spots, didn't clean up after spills or splashes on windows and floors, closed doors before they were dry (thereby ruining the new paint job), dumped sander dust in our back yard as opposed to the garbage, and generally did not pay any attention to the details that make for a quality interior paint job. We provided this feedback to Mike when we paid him, and he seemed disinterested, stating only that he would "pass that on" to his crew. He did not offer to send anyone back for fixes or touch ups. We noted that the job did take longer than he estimated- but this was no excuse for shoddy work. If you underestimate a job, let the client know- maybe they'll make an adjustment to the payment. As it is, we were not satisfied clients, and do not recommend Mike Garl Painting.

Mike, Wilson, and I met at the beginning of each project to make sure we were on the same page, then I'd leave for work and Wilson would stay and paint. I completely trusted them to be in our house without us around and to lock up when they left. The quality of the work was wonderful! Some of our walls are plaster, so painting can be a bit difficult. Our interior rooms - walls, trim and doors - look beautiful. Thanks Mike Garl Painting Co!

100% go with Barnoski Painting! We're repeat customers and just as happy the second time around…read more This time they tackled our exterior. Previously, they did a stellar job on our interior. What sets them apart is their knowledge and care in what they do. They didn't just slap a coat of paint over the old stuff, they meticulously sanded off old layers, repaired wood rot on our window frames, and even took care of matching the colors on the downspouts. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the job site spotless every day. It's clear they understand the specific needs of Doelger homes, and especially those that get the salty Daly City fog. Erik and Mike are fantastic!

Over the past couple of years, my elderly father, who has lived in his home for nearly 60 years,…read morehad been wanting to repaint the exterior. He entrusted me with finding the right contractor, and after reaching out to several companies, I was left unimpressed. Quotes were either excessively high or the contractors themselves seemed disinterested in taking on a home built in the 1950s. That changed the moment I found Barnoski Painting. Being located just a mile from my father's home and having served the community as a family-owned business for over 50 years immediately stood out. When I called, Eric, the owner, made time to meet me that same day due to my circumstances. From the outset, he was responsive, punctual, and highly professional. During our walkthrough, I explained my father's situation and that I would be the primary point of contact. My father shared a few specific requests, particularly restoring the front door and maintaining the existing color scheme. Eric took the time to walk us through the different service levels they offer, but what impressed me most was his honesty. Rather than trying to upsell, he assessed the home carefully and pointed out where attention was truly needed so the job would be priced fairly. Standing in the driveway, he provided a quote on the spot. It was not only fair, it was exceptional. Without hesitation, I told my father to write the deposit check immediately. Eric's professionalism, demeanor, and transparency far exceeded that of any contractor I have worked with, and there have been many. We signed the contract right then and there. Although the project was initially scheduled for later in the month, Eric called a few days later with an earlier opening. As someone who values communication and punctuality, I can confidently say Barnoski Painting exceeded every expectation. On the first day, their crew, Eric, his brother Mike, who is the foreman, along with Phineas and Nick, arrived on time, prepared, and ready to work. Not only were they highly skilled, but they were also personable and genuinely good people. From the start, there was an immediate sense of trust. What truly set them apart, however, was how they treated my father. Beyond delivering an A plus paint job, they interacted with him with a level of kindness, patience, and respect that went far beyond professionalism. It felt like family. That meant more to me than I can adequately put into words. During the process, some dry rot was discovered. Barnoski Painting referred us to Crittenden Construction. While I was under no obligation to use them, I met with Vernon, the owner, and had the same experience. Fair pricing, excellent attention to detail, and outstanding professionalism. He even came out on a Saturday to complete the work and treated my father with the same level of respect and care. It speaks volumes about Barnoski Painting that they align themselves with other professionals of that caliber. Simply put, I cannot in good conscience give them just five stars. This is a 15 star company. Their commitment to quality, integrity, communication, and client care is unmatched in my experience. There is a reason this family owned business has thrived for over half a century. If you are considering a painting contractor and want true peace of mind, look no further than Barnoski Painting. They are, without question, a diamond level organization.If you want, I can make a shorter punchy version for Google or a slightly more casual Yelp version.

TL;dr - Go with Arana…read more I've used Arana on three projects. Each and every time, they've hit it out of the park with superb work done on schedule, great communication, and reasonable prices. I've also worked with several other painting contractors who managed to deliver exactly none of these. Even though they had solid reviews and made a great first impression. Arana is not going to be the lowest price option. But between the quality of the work and the other benefits of dealing with a super-professional, tightly managed operation, any small premium you pay is going to be money extremely well spent. A lesson I wish I had learned several jobs earlier! Better late than never, I suppose. But seriously, go with them. They are that good.

He was a pleasure to work with throughout the project: professional, friendly, patient and responsive, promptly answering all my questions. He visited the site daily and provided regular updates on job progress. His crew was on-time, efficient and hard-working. Not one complaint from any of the tenants or the neighbors, in fact, the tenants praised the crew's professionalism, how they cleaned up after each work day, and how beautiful the building looked once the job was done. Estuardo initially estimated 3-4 week completion, the work was done in three. I would not hesitate to hire Fresh Start again. He, his crew, and the quality of the work are outstanding!

We have just had the pleasure of having the exterior of our house, and a shed painted by an exceptional company, Fresh Start. Dealing with the owner Estuardo was a great experience . He listened patiently to our ideas and implemented every one of them. Many times we've had contractors be very 'fluid' about time. This doesn't take the clients time into consideration and what they may have to juggle to make themselves available. Estuardo's crew was on time each day, on the dot, and worked tirelessly for 6 days. They did a very thorough and professional job, repaired some dry rot, and added accents that we requested. We would recommend this company without hesitation to anyone looking for a top notch painting company.
