I strongly advise against hiring Gaytan's Painting and Remodeling (Jose Gaytan) based on my recent experience. I hired them for both interior painting and hardwood floor installation, with a total labor cost of $13,000 (I supplied all materials). Out of total $13,000, $6,250 was for hardwood installation, 1019 sq ft of prefinished oak wood. Over the course of the project, I paid them $5,500 in good faith, fully expecting the work to be completed as agreed. They promised to complete everything in two weeks, but for more than three weeks while they were here, they couldn't complete even half of the painting portion of the project, there was still no sense of urgency from them. One of the most troubling aspects of my experience was that the contractor never informed me in advance that they would not proceed with the hardwood floor installation. They removed my carpet and continued to request and receive payments, giving me every reason to believe that the hardwood installation would go smoothly as planned. It was only after they had received substantial and excess payment that they finally revealed they would not be doing the hardwood installation, leaving my home with exposed subflooring and in a state of disarray. This lack of transparency and delayed disclosure felt deceptive and left me in a very difficult position. As for the painting, the only areas completed were three bedrooms upstairs, plus the master, bath and closets. Even in these areas, the work was subpar. Doors and trim were spray painted without any proper surface preparation, causing the paint to peel off. Many doors and window hardware were left uninstalled, and a significant amount of the paint I purchased was wasted or left open and unusable. The overall quality of workmanship was far below professional standards, and my home was left unfinished and in need of costly remediation. Despite my repeated requests, Jose Gaytan refused to provide any proof of a valid painting license, bond, or insurance--basic requirements for any reputable contractor. When I discovered the extent of the damage and poor workmanship, I asked them to leave the property temporarily and return only after providing valid license and insurance information. At no point did I provide any formal written notice terminating the contract. However, instead of addressing my concerns or providing the requested documentation, they claimed they had been "fired" and refused to return to complete or fix the work. In summary, Gaytan's Painting and Remodeling collected $5,500 for labor only, for work that was either not performed or done poorly, and only managed to paint four bedrooms upstairs and the master bath and closet. They abandoned the job, refused to provide any documentation of their qualifications or insurance, and never received any formal contract termination notice, but still used that as an excuse to walk away from the project. I am now left with additional expenses to repair the damage and complete the work. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable, professional, or trustworthy service. read more

I can not recommend them more. We were referred to them by our neighbors ehose kitchen they also remodeled and are so glad we were. Everything they did was flawless and we are in love with how it turned out! They are also very good about covering up surfaces so nothing is harmed while they are working. We will definitely be using them again in the future! Our other neighbors will now be using them to. read more

Jose remodeled our entire sunroom including insulation, drywall, painting and flooring. He also installed the tile for the backsplash in our kitchen along with some misc painting on our door frames, molding, front porch columns and bay window. We are thrilled with his work, everything turned out beautiful. He talked us through all aspects of the projects. He has great prices, he's reliable, and does beautiful work. We would definitely recommend him and use him again. read more

1 star because the workers he employs were nice and did a nice job. Jose, who runs this company, is horrible. Not only did he postpone starting this job of painting my kitchen and bathroom cabinets 3 separate times, but assured me on multiple occasions it would take 7 days. 20 days later and it's finally finished. Jose showed up on day 1 to collect his money, and never again. Very VERY poor communication the entire time. We never knew when people were coming or going or what to expect and when. In fact, when it came to the 7 day mark, when I was assured they would be finished, I had to reach out to Jose and ask about what was going on to which I was told angrily "we have a process". If the delay in the "process" was communicated to us, we would have been more understanding, but nothing ever was. When the kitchen portion of the job was completed, Jose then attempted to tell me they wanted to begin a different job and would be back to complete our job, which we had waited 5 months for after all of the delays, when they were finished with the new job he wanted to start! I told him absolutely not and after a day of arguing back and forth he sent his workers (again, unannounced) to my home the next day to finish working on the job. Absolutely do not recommend this company unless you want the job to take 3 x longer than promised and be delayed x 5 months. Unprofessional, poor communication and disrespectful to the customers. read more
