Estuardo/Fresh Start was recommended by the leasing agent for the building I manage. His was one of three bids I received and I hired him based on the thorough walk through, comprehensive estimate, and that he was able to start work with a full crew a week from contract signing. 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! read more

If you own a home you've probably come across a lot of different type of contractors. Some professional, some slipshod, some just adequate. 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. read more

A friend recommended Estuardo & his crew last year for an exterior paint job, and after a few more expensive quotes, we were happy we went with Fresh Start Painting! Their team was friendly, efficient, and professional, and Estuardo responded promptly to fixes that needed to be made. They even painted our fence & deck, which looked great. I was impressed at how they matched a custom color no longer carried by the paint company, to match our windowsills, and the house looks so much nicer now! I'd recommend Estuardo & his team to anyone wanting a great paint job at a good price! read more

We hired Fresh Start based on their thorough walk thru and reasonable quote. we couldn't be more pleased with their work painting the interior of our house. They showed up on time, worked hard each day, were open to requests, fixed every crack and ding in our walls, protected all of our stuff, painted smooth coats on every wall and piece of trim, and even finished one day early. We would hire them again and have already recommended them to people we know for their upcoming jobs. read more

Estuardo and his crew deliver great results, and they do it in a reliable, friendly way. We were referred by a neighbor up the street when looking to refinish the entire exterior of a 2-unit home. Very happy with the results, the pricing was competitive, and more neighbors have signed up to work with Fresh Start Painting since. Highly recommended read more

Estuardo/Fresh Start Painting has done a couple of painting jobs for my clients in San Francisco. One job was with a Notice Of Violation with DBI involving a lead paint issue, and the building is right next to a populated recreational park with children's activities; we had to go over many hurdles with DBI and park inspectors while we had tenants living onsite. It was such a nightmare to jump through permits, scaffolding, city approvals, inspections, etc. Their team took care of everything with ease for us and in a fast and professional manner! They started with a detailed, quick, and fair price quote and finished with excellent workmanship and customer service. Besides updating the property management team and the building owner on the progress, they also kept the concerned tenants in the loop and made sure the painting job went smoothly, appropriately, and properly. Extremely satisfied! I will certainly continue to recommend Fresh Start Painting to clients/friends. read more

Fresh Start Painting did a terrific job of power-washing and painting my Sunset District home. Estuardo responded quickly to my request for an estimate and made a bid for a complete power washing, stucco patching, and painting of my stucco and all the trim. His price was very fair and he started the job in just two more weeks. He used top quality paints. His crew, Alex and Francisco, worked diligently for five days. They responded to every point that I was concerned about. They cleaned up after their work every evening. They did a great job. My hundred year old house looks brand new. Thanks, Fresh Start Painting! And especially thanks to Francisco and Alex for their great work and attention to every detail. read more

Outstanding! Estuardo and his team painted two side-by-side commercial properties for us. We've worked with many crews over the years, and Fresh Start is probably the most professional and efficient--they have their system down. The buildings are historical and on a busy street, but they were able to obtain the permits and scaffolding quickly. Estuardo went out of his way to greet the tenants and explain the scope of work and schedule--something we normally do ourselves. He was very communicative throughout the process, and the crew kept their workspaces clean. They finished on time, even when we were indecisive on color and made two last-minute changes. Highly, highly recommended. Will be using them from now on! read more

Estuardo, Alex, and José were the best! I was a nightmare client and kept changing my mind on what color I wanted... and somehow they were always able to show up the next morning with new paint and finish the job incredibly quickly. They also built a frame to patch over a huge hole in one of my walls and you can't even tell it was there. I'm so happy with how it all turned out! read more

We've worked with Estuardo and his team several times. Excellent communication and highly responsive! Our house looks awesome. Two neighbors have also used them with similarly great experiences. read more

An amazing customer experience! Estuardo of Fresh Start Painting was recommended by my lovely neighbors who research and do their homework in finding quality contractors for all the trades, so going in I had a lot of confidence in the company. Estuardo's bid was by far the most prompt and affordable I received. He was very accommodating on the start date and not at all daunted by the miles of trim and woodwork on my 105 year old home. The crew (Thank you, Jose and Alex!) was always on time, with positive attitudes, and quality skills. The trim work looks great, as do the walls and ceiling. When I requested a minor fix in one area - they were back within 24 hours to take care of it, to my complete satisfaction. I'm in the middle of a long and messy renovation project; this part, thankfully, was completely stress-free. We are very happy with the results and strongly recommend Fresh Start Painting without reservation! (In fact, my husband made a referral to Estuardo on the very day of project completion!) read more

The Fresh Start Painting team just finished painting my house, they did a great job. Their attention to detail was outstanding , they were very helpful and they made sure the job was completed to my satisfaction. Would highly recommend them! read more

Estuardo was reasonable and easy to discuss the work that needed to be completed for painting a three story Victorian. His crew of painters were reliable and agreeable to make a few adjustments that arose along the way. The work was finished in a timely manner and the exterior of the house looks great. The important aspect of painting is in the prep work and removing the dried paint that chips away over time. I think they did a great job in preparation before priming and painting. The paint quality is also important and after years of experience I felt that I could place my trust in selecting this company. I am glad that I have made the right decision. read more

Estuardo and team are total pros, and get an easy 5 stars from me: * the quality of their work is top notch, from the dry wall, to patching, and painting * some painters don't really caulk in between wall or ceiling boards, or do other fine work (or they charge a lot for it) -- and it reduces the overall quality look of the finished product. Estuardo does this as part of the work. * Estuardo also followed up personally to make sure things were to our satisfaction, and encouraged me to do a walk through to review the work in detail And finally, the work was very affordable. Our experience was so good, we are now having him do our entire outside painting. Thanks Estuardo and everyone on the team! read more

Outstanding work and service! We contacted Fresh Start Painting SF after receiving a flyer and Estuardo promptly replied by phone and in person. He is professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He kindly fit us into his schedule within a few days to paint a new accent color on our house and his painter showed up early, did a fantastic job and completed the job quickly. We were impressed that Estuardo came to manage the job at the beginning, middle and end of the day. We will definitely hire him again and highly recommend Estuardo and his team! read more

It was a pleasure to work with Estuardo and his team. I had 6 rooms in this 1906 Edwardian painted. The prep work was impressive. Estuardo either performed or supervised every step. They finished on time and the fee was very reasonable in my opinion. The clean up was as thorough as the paint job itself. This is now my "go to" Painting service. I look forward to working with him again in the near future on another project, and will confidently recommend him to friends and family. read more

Estuardo and his team did a great job painting and waterproofing our home exterior. Started with a fair price, the team (Rafael and Alex) were such nice gentlemen, and the final work was excellent. We plan to use Fresh Start for all our future painting needs. read more

Estuardo and his team did an amazing job in updating the interior of our home. Their prep work was very thorough, from covering our floors to removing all hardware on windows. They are detail oriented which showed in the quality of the work. The team was very pleasant to work with and Estuardo was always available to answer any questions / concerns and supervised the progress of the project. They finished on time as promised. Our house looks brand new - it has an updated look with just as much character as before. I am very pleased with the quality of their work and are now having them paint our exterior ! Thank you so much Esturado and team. read more

Fresh Start Painting - Dining Room Before - After - Painters Near Me - Daly City, California

We had a great experience with Fresh Start. Our 120+ year old home in SF needed a fresh look in the kitchen and first floor bath - both of which we had deferred a few years back when we had most of that floor done by another painter. He had retired, and when a flyer came in the mail from Fresh Start, I called and Estuardo came out to provide an estimate. After more than 40 years of grime and wear, with older wallpaper in the kitchen and some pretty distinctive tile and fixtures in the bath, this was not an easy job. But Estuardo was very responsive and willing to wait while we got our shots and "cleared" to begin. His team started on time, finished on time, provided great detailing, practiced COVID safety and was clean and respectful of our privacy. I have attached some before and after pics - we could not be happier with our "new look" and highly recommend Fresh Start! read more

Estuardo and Fresh Start did interior painting of most of our house (bedrooms, hallways, stairwells, living and dining rooms, kitchen and kitchen cabinets), plus an exterior deck. We received his advertising flyer and then searched his Yelp reviews. Estuardo was very timely in his communications with us. His crew showed up on time every day, were courteous and friendly, and cleaned up after themselves. Very good quality work and attention to detail. Fresh Start's bid was not the lowest we received, but was in a competitive range. We decided to go with Fresh Start because of its positive reviews and because we sensed that communications would go well (not always the case with other contractors). Highly recommended! read more

Estuardo and his team were phenomenal They came promptly every day and were so respectful of the building They also cleaned up the area every day and made the whole experience enjoyable Their expertise, and professionalism were most appreciated I would highly recommend Fresh Start Painting read more

Estuardo Godinez has been an life saver. I am selling my house and he came out to give me a painting bid. He got the bid to me quickly and it was very reasonable. He also gave me a contact to refinish the hardwood floors and a roofer to look at a skylight. I had a contractor scheduled to install patio doors that cancelled twice. I called Estuardo and he found someone to do it right away. He also gave me a bid to demo the existing kitchen tile counter and backsplash and repair the drywall after the tile removal. And started the work immediately. He has not even started his painting job yet but has been more helpful than any contractor I have ever worked with. read more

Estuardo and his team has recently finished a painting job for our family home. We had both the front and back of the exteriors repainted and are very pleased with the result. The whole job took about one week and they start early around 8-8:30 am. Communication is also very easy with the owner although you may have to go through him to communicate with the other employees. The house looks fresh and the colors are vibrant. read more

Fresh Start Painting just completed painting my condo in the Lower Haight and I am extremely pleased with the finished job and the entire experience. I highly recommend Fresh Start Painting - they do excellent interior and exterior work and the owner and the team are true professionals and care about quality. From start to finish, they were attentive, on time, were pleasant 100% of the time and the cost for the job was very reasonable. Rare qualities this day and age. Estuardo the owner's estimates on when the work would start and how long it would take were spot on. When some other work was needed in preparation for painting, he pulled the resources together. I was serendipity that on a Saturday at a paint store my path should cross with a man who saw a mock-up of the colors I was planning and commented they were great bold colors and went on to tell me about this fantastic job he was working on - the colors that had been picked and how dramatic it would be when complete - you could see and hear the passion. I asked him if I could get someone from his company to come by and give me a bid, he introduced himself as the owner and said he would be by Monday morning and he was. The job started that Wednesday that week, which is when I met his just as fantastic crew. They replaced some trim, caulked, power washed, patched where needed, primed all surfaces, applied 2 coats, and were complete - job finished, by the following Thursday. Fantastic! The neighborhood loves the new look! read more

Loved their work, their ethics and their discrete friendliness. We are very precise and slightly obsessive about having jobs well done, clean etc and they delivered thoroughly. Easy to communicate with . Punctual, hard working. Estuardo the owner is wonderful and by the way, they gave us the best estimate and there was no compromise on the work quality! read more

We had a terrific experience with Estuardo and his crew. The work exceeded my expectations. Our house looked so good when it was finished that we had them paint the neighbor's wall abutting our property. All of his workers were courteous, hardworking and precise. Pricing was competitive. read more

Estuardo and his team (Jose, William) are adaptable and responsive painting professionals. Good quality and value. We've had them complete two projects, the second of which we expanded the scope in response to their ability to execute. Painting indoors, outdoors, high, low, walls, trim, concrete flooring, they can do it. Estuardo gets hands-on to help his team. They are quietly and unobtrusively friendly. Our home is now more water-resistant and has a more polished feel, thanks to this team. As an aside, if you are doing exterior painting in San Francisco's sometimes wet climate, consider asking Estuardo to use Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh Exterior Latex paint: it's amazing in its ability to repel water and stay clean. read more

Work is of excellent quality. Great communication as to price, matching colors and scheduling the work. Best of all the job is done in the time frame communicated, at the quote provided and done right. Have nothing but good things to say. read more

Estuardo painted our house at 1931-1933 Webster Street, San Francisco in 2011 and again in June 2020. Again the work was outstanding. His men showed tremendous skill and pride. Estuardo regularly came by to make sure we were satisfied. Five stars fully deserved. I tried to post photos but the Yelp site did not let me... read more

Fresh Start painted some walls and ceilings in our house. They did fantastic work - efficient and meticulous! They were also helpful in adjusting our paint choices to get the very best results. I can recommend them without reservation. read more

Everything works extremely well. Estuardo and his team were very responsive (heard back within 1/2 hour of reaching out). He scheduled a time to look at the job and provided a quote and proposal the same day he looked at the project. He gave us a day he could start and told us how long it would take. He started on time. Got it done on time. And, did a great job!! They also went the "extra mile" on some plaster work. I would hire Fresh Start Painting again in a heartbeat. read more
