    They charge extra to cover the floor?

    I would NOT recommend working with this couple. It has been a nightmare from the beginning. I have been renovating my house for 2 years now and have had dozens of contractors to work with - have never had a single problem with any of them, ever. I do not usually write reviews unless the situation is extreme. Sadly, this is one of those cases. To be clear, they never started work on my home, we didn't have a date set to start. The entire dispute is over the changes Alex made to what he promised for the price he gave to paint the interior of my home. First he told me that he could do everything I wanted for one particular price. The next time I talked to him he said, "oh the ceiling is not included" (even though I have a text message from him saying it was). The next time I talked to him for clarification, suddenly something else he had mentioned before was now "not included" either. This happened three times and finally I asked to just not go forward because he had changed what he promised so many times that I didn't even know what I would get if I had him start the job! No clarity, minimal wording in the email of what the job included and then multiple texts contradicting one another as to what was included and what wasn't. SO unprofessional. Then Norma comes into my home with an attitude as if she's going to fix anything that way. She was very defensive when I explained to her what I had been promised and that I had the text messages from Alex with all of the conflicting promises he made. It blows my mind that they run their business this way. Do not give these people any of your money before you get something very, very clear in writing - it was my mistake for having trust in Alex. I am still out $500 after waiting 9 weeks for my $1,000 deposit to be returned. I just barely got $500 of it back last week after being promised over and over again that my refund was coming. I have a text from Alex saying that he had not purchased the paint yet, but a few days later when Norma came over, she suddenly claimed they spent my $1,000 on paint and supplies and would have to wait for their refund from the store. So dishonest to have spent my money before they even started my job or bought my supplies and then try to give multiple excuses to delay ever giving the money back. I'm annoyed that I have to go through the trouble of taking them to small claims court, but I really did give them every single opportunity to make things right. I have been more than patient and they have given me the run around for way too long. The last thing I'll say is that when I got a recommendation for a new painter, come to find out that EVERYTHING I need is included AND the price is $1,000 cheaper than what I was quoted by Alex. Shop around and do your diligence. Don't just take someone's word for these guys or you might end up like I did. Amended following owner's response: 1. Of course, this is my "side of the story" that is what a review means. 2. "how were we supposed to start?" There was never a complaint of when you were starting. I simply stated that you did not start the job to clarify that my deposit was requested before you ever started. Alex came to our home and saw the major construction of the wall the first time he arrived. He was aware that we had to await the city's approval and inspection. I have multiple text messages from Alex saying that it was "no problem" and "just let me know when your inspection is done and we'll start" 3. I never threatened to take you to court. I told a friend of mine that it was sad that I was going to have to take you to court and he said "I know them, let me talk to them before you file". I waited as a courtesy to him and ended up giving you two more weeks of jerking me around with "oh, my Zelle isn't working", oh, we were busy, I couldn't go to the bank", "oh, I sent it but the bank didn't approve it so I'll send half", etc. etc. etc. 4. Yes, I am an attorney, but that has nothing to do with small claims court. I am licensed with the CA Bar Association. I do not currently practice law, I work for an insurance company. Therefore, I do not need my license to be active. I'm sorry your attorney mislead you and told you I was lying about being a lawyer. You might want to check the business license website though, it looks like you have some deficiencies there yourself (sadly I had to go to the licensing website to get an address since they wouldn't give me an address to file the court papers). Secondly, your attorney must also not have told you that all of your text messages to me stating that you will return my deposit, and that you will return my deposit on August 16th and that you are going to give it to me this Friday, etc. Those are all called "promises to pay". In CA text messages with a promise to pay are legally binding. Maybe see if you can get your friends and family members to write more of the fake reviews for you to outweigh mine - since mine doesn't bother you.

    After!

    Thank you Alex and Norma! We are so happy with how the job turned out. I'm so glad that I saw your colorful van and decided to give you a call. Alex did an amazing job repairing our stucco and painting the exterior of our house. Norma was very responsive and professional throughout. Thanks again!

    Edf Painting goes above and beyond in details, customer service, response time, and reliability. Alex is meticulous in his work and work ethic. Norma helped me with colors and recommendations and always there for me. They've done 2 jobs for me thus far and I am extremely pleased with their work. I will have them back again and again. They transformed my kitchen cabinets and living spaces. Next up: my upstairs areas! I have not had the best of luck with contractors and Alex and Norma restored my faith!

    We heard about EDF painting from my husband buddy who had his stucco, trim, fascia and patio painted and he couldn't be more pleased. He was happy with their work he referred them to us because he heard we we looking for a painter to paint our trim, fascia, front door and garage. Without hesitation, I called EDF Painting and spoke to Norma to have them come over for a quote. We immediately hired them. We couldn't be more happier! Alex done an amazing job!! I highly recommend him for any of your painting needs. Thanks Norma and Alex!

    Doug and his team have completed two interior painting jobs at my house, both were done with great…read moreattention to detail. Mateo, Victor and Francisco prepped the areas to contain any mess, re-textured damaged areas, primed and painted without a drip or drop. And cleaned up like they'd never even been there. Most recently, they also prepped the room by doing the demo on my walk--in closet (tear-out), did extensive patching repairs to the walls and even went above and beyond to touch up baseboards to ensure it looked spotless. Great company, superior results! Highly recommend.

I waited 30 minutes before calling to see if something had happened. He answered and said "Oh, what's your address, I can be there in 20 minutes." He arrived 30 minutes later and gave us the quote. He took his time and wrote out exactly what we needed. His quote was thorough and seemed reasonable. The reason for my 1-star rating is because when we were ready to schedule, we called and called and no one ever answered. My husband also tried and left messages that were never returned. I know they are a busy company, but it shouldn't be that hard to schedule once a quote has been provided. Perhaps Doug needs to hire a receptionist to help with phones. We ended up going with another company and I'm so glad we did. They did a wonderful job! They were also Yelp verified and backed by a $2,500 protection by Yelp. We chose a smaller company where we had direct access to the owner and communication was never a problem. The owner was also onsite every day of the job.

The quote was fair, and once I approved it, they showed up right on time and got straight to work. Their process was very clean and organized, especially considering the level of detail involved. The project took exactly as long as they said it would for all four cabinets, and the results honestly exceeded my expectations. I was shocked at how good everything looked--still am. After seeing this level of quality and professionalism, I wouldn't hire anyone else for painting, staining, or refinishing. I wouldn't think twice about hiring them again. If you don't hire this company, you're missing out on some of the best quality and attention to detail that's hard to find these days. Amazing work, and thanks again!

Unfortunately, the owner continues his online crusade to discredit me and I'm backed into a corner to prove the legitimacy of my concerns. I've added a video showing yellowing throughout the house. This is not a moisture issue. When the work was finished caulking was not yellowed, but I found several areas throughout the house that were not caulked at all. I was also was unhappy with the gap between boards and the floor. The owner is correct when he says I signed a contract indicating that this would not be done. I was guided into this and later found out that it is not always standard practice. Nonetheless, I signed this contract and feel that it would be unfair for me to grade based upon this problem alone, hence the updated increase to my rating. When painting was finished I did voice my discontent with the way things turned out. The owner became defensive about his work. His strategy was to deflect these concerns as a me problem, rather than a workmanship problem. I can remember feeling pressured at the end of the job to agree that things were satisfactory and reluctantly paid. There was no call back to fix the yellowing because his arrogance turned me off. I did not want him back in my house. I've lived in the house for years, looking at my unsightly baseboards. Every time I walk through my hallways I'm reminded of how frustrated I am that I paid good money for this. I do not like publicly shaming a company, but in this case it's necessary. After years I finally posted a review. The bottom line is that the job is substandard. I have to have things repainted at my own expense and I'm very disappointed about it.
