John McAteer is the best painting company. Very honest man. He tells you what is wrong and suggests…read morewhat is the solution. For example he said the person who painted the house before did not use primer. John said that if he just paints over the old paint without removing it the new paint will bubble up. He said the stucco has cracks and he put elastomeric paint to seal the stucco, next the Primer then the paint. The painters that work for John have knowledge of how to paint sand calk power wash. John has over 30 years and knowledge of painting. His team is very clean and organized. I would recommend his painting company for all your painting needs. Plus he listens to his customers. Very happy for the job well done.

This job was completed on time, the work was excellent and everything was cleaned up afterwards. More recently, he repainted the interior of my home since I had extensive insulation done on the walls. His team did a terrific job, especially in the bathroom in which the paint was showing its wear due to moisture and sun exposure. In all instances, the estimates provided were fair and he does reach out to ensure the project details are correct. Thank you for your work and looking forward to doing business in the future.

Sliding cabinet doors and channels were painted partially open--so they dried stuck in place, and stuck in place--half painted (see pictures). The bid promised removing the wallpaper in a bathroom. Instead, he had his crew scrape the pattern off the paper then tried to paint over it. When I pointed out to the realtor that they had done this and also tried spackling their way out of it, we reasserted that the wallpaper was to be removed. The next time I entered, they had plastered over the entire mess. Of course you could still see all the layers of this behind the bathroom door and in books where a putty knife couldn't fit. They spilled clumps of plaster all over the tub and countertops, and didn't clean up. The baths were both supposed to be painted with an eggshell paint--but he used the same bright-white five gallon exterior flat paint for the entire apartment, including the bathrooms--it must spray the easiest. In order to get to market, I had to hire a second painter to repaint the bathrooms and correct the cabinet damage, and a handyman to throughly clean the tub and sink drains that had been used to clean tools--but hadn't been rinsed before it dried. They also didn't remove any towel bars or tape fixtures, leaving paint drips everywhere. The second time they did the walls, I removed the towel bars and cleaned them--they reinstalled them with one with the backside of it out. They just aren't careful. Perfect if you are a tenderloin landlord. Not so great if you want clean quality work.

We had our house exterior painted a few months ago and were really happy with the experience and…read moreresults. Sean provided a good consultation, the cost was reasonable compared to the different proposals we received, the color consultation was surprisingly helpful, and Pompeyo, the foreman, communicated well and was always available. We've had a few projects around the house, and this team of painters was the friendliest and most considerate. One side of the house was in particularly poor shape, and we were impressed with how much work they put into the repairs, as well as the paint. Some companies we consulted have larger operations and web presences, so I had some initial reservations with Love Painting. Ultimately, that's just because they are a smaller local company that still relies on word of mouth and traditional references. I am glad we hired their team and would recommend them.

I used Love Painting, and the experience was generally fine until after the paint job was…read morecompleted. Before and during the project, communication was responsive, which was one reason I felt comfortable hiring them. After the work was completed, we discovered bubbling and peeling paint in one room. The foreman, Pompeyo, attributed the damage to recent earthquakes and said the company would repair it. I appreciated their willingness to address the affected areas, but the earthquake explanation did not appear supported by the condition of the wall, particularly because the older underlying paint layer appeared intact. What made the situation especially difficult was the lack of accountability during the follow-up. Rather than acknowledging that the bubbling and peeling could have resulted from preparation or application issues, Pompeyo presented an outside explanation as though it were established fact. His explanations did not appear consistent with what was visible, and I felt that he was more focused on avoiding responsibility than honestly evaluating what had gone wrong. When I tried to coordinate the repair and asked reasonable questions about the work, the company's tone changed. Sean Love, the owner, became defensive and responded to my concerns in a condescending manner. He described me as "challenging" and said that my partner was easier to work with. I found that comparison inappropriate and dismissive. During the actual project, I had never been characterized as difficult; that description only appeared after I raised concerns about the quality of the completed work. I am not white, while my partner is, and the comparison stood out to me. I experienced the interaction as having racialized undertones: I was labeled "challenging" for following up about a legitimate workmanship issue, while my white partner was held up as easier to work with. Although the initial service was fine and the company agreed to repair the specific affected areas, I found the post-job experience extremely difficult. Pompeyo's unwillingness to take meaningful accountability, combined with Sean Love's defensive and condescending response when problems were identified, made it difficult to have a constructive conversation about the work. The lack of ownership and the way I was treated after raising a valid concern left a very negative impression.
