    Finished project ceiling view.
    Marc J.

    We had some water damage from two roof leaks, and decided to paint our whole place while we were at it. We have a large loft (20') and had many "issues" from dented bullnose to some crappy work when the place was originally built (seams showing, nails popping out, all that fun stuff). Even more fun was we had a full house of stuff to work around. We put this off for many years because we knew how difficult it would be. Matt was great about quoting everything- working around furniture, removing and replacing lots of artwork, all of the prep, and being super clear about what was and wasn't included. He was also great about recommendations for sheen and paint types for different areas. Once we were scheduled, he was also great about working around a never ending series of schedule changes as we uncovered more leaks and had to coordinate roof repairs. When the project finally started, we had packed up about 1/2 of our stuff and the crews were able to work with and around what we had left. They did a fantastic job masking and protecting things - and we were able to "live" through the project. Matt has a team of craftsmen that specialize in drywall/plaster work, light carpentry, and painting. We did a LOT of drywall work with the ceiling repairs, plus correcting for some past errors. I joked with the guys that each of them were slightly OCD / perfectionists about different things - which really worked out well for us, as the attention to detail really showed through to the final product. On top of being meticulous, the people Matt hires are genuinely GOOD folks that we enjoyed having in our home for so long! Given all of the leaks and problems that were uncovered during the project, Matt and the crews were always fair about change orders, and we ended up right at the high end of my expectation (+20% over initial budget). I feel really good about the entire experience. This was a massive job that ended up taking about a month start-to-finish, and we couldn't be happier with the results. I've already recommended Matt to our neighbors without hesitation.

    Matt and his crew were able to quickly help me out! I was struggling to get quotes because the job was so small. The HOA gave me a warning about the window middle pane being a different color. Matt was very responsive and was able to send someone out the next day. He and his crew were great to work with, and they also did the job without me being there. This is a rental property and I didn't have time to see it in person, but they got the job done and were mindful with the tenants. I'll be using his services in the future for any painting jobs needed.

    Mat and his workers did a great job. The heat was really high a couple of days. Mario was meticulous and answered any questions I had. They did a full preparation and then painted trim then the main color. I will use them again if I need future painting.

    Gen Pro painted our exterior and did a fantastic job. Matt Soars and his team were fast, with great attention to detail and very professional. Great communication through the entire process, making it stress free. We will use Gen Pro Painting in the future and already recommend them to many friends and family.

    I am so thankful to have come across Gen Pro Painting and it's owner Matt Soares! Matt answered my call and was able to give me a free quote very quickly! He came in very competitively priced and offered many more services than other companies. I was highly impressed with his team and his oversight of my project! Matt and his team completed the job very quickly. They were extremely cautious of my belongings and focused on my satisfaction rather than just "blowing through the job". It was a stress free experience and I would highly recommend them to my family, friends, or anyone looking for quality work! Thanks again Gen Pro Painting!

    Matt did an AMAZING job on painting my front door. Scheduled appointment, confirmed details of the job the night before and showed up on time! Uses the best quality paint and uses such precise detail on the job. Would recommend his company/services to others.

    We had the exterior of our home painted by Gen Pro. Matt (owner) is super nice and very professional, as were the two painters (Josh and Eduardo) he had on our job. Matt came out to give us an estimate in a very timely manner and gave us a price quote on the spot. He was the least expensive estimate I got and they did a fantastic job. Good attention to detail, painters were friendly and courteous, Matt is very attentive/responsive to calls and emails...I will not hesitate to call them again!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with ZPro Painting, and I couldn't be happier with the…read moreresults. Zack and his team did an excellent job applying a UV reflective coating to our riveted metal patio and sunroom roof--definitely not an easy project. They properly power washed the surface before applying the paint, and the difference is incredible. I can genuinely feel about a 15-degree reduction in heat, just as promised. Our sunroom is now significantly cooler--even to the touch on the underside of the metal roof. We were so impressed that we had them extend the coating to our outdoor patio roof as well, which has also made a noticeable difference in temperature. I really appreciated that Zack was willing to accommodate my request to use a specialized UV reflective coating (commonly used on RVs), instead of pushing standard industrial paint like others had suggested. I'm so glad I stuck with this product--it truly works! I was so happy with their work that I ended up using them again for my business--this time for the undercarriage of the corrugated roof and walls in my sunroom spa. They painted it mint, and it looks amazing--such a clean, fresh look! His pricing was fair and affordable, and the quality of work speaks for itself. My husband even said, "Why didn't we do this sooner?"--he's just as happy with the outcome as I am. I highly recommend ZPro Painting if you're looking for quality work, honest service, and real results--especially for metal roofing projects!

I own several properties and have done many construction projects, ranging from pools to kitchen remodels, and often find the process of working with contractors frustrating and, oftentimes, when it's all said and done, unhappy in one way or another. That was absolutely not the experience with the SD Local crew. Chad's quote was super competitive and did not change from start to finish. The process was timely, ended exactly when he said it would, and was right on budget with no surprises. Thank you, Chad and Orlando, for an incredible job

I do…read morenot like heights, so for a portion of our 'great room' job, I reached out a few different painting companies. (There are a lot of companies/contractors out there who try to take advantage of their customers. It was refreshing for me to find a couple who were truly impressive and honest.) I chose Local San Diego Painting. Chad came out last week to review the three turrets which each having 3 rows of rough-wood trim - roughly 12', 14' and 22' from the ground and one turret was over a sunken bar area, so access above was tricky. (The surrounding ceiling is all wood, which we did not want painted.) His estimate was very reasonable and the two man crew did an excellent job. They were both very professional, and nice. They started and finished this job yesterday. They even stayed an extra hour past their normal hours to finish the job. I will not hesitate to use them at this house again and any of my rentals in the future.

    ***UPDATE AFTER OWNER RESPONSE*** This is normally not…read moresomething I would do; however, after the owner decided to attack me personally and tell a boldfaced lie, this response had to be forthcoming. First, he states that he politely tried to decline my business and claims I insinuated that I would leave a bad review if I didn't get my paint upgraded for free--which again is simply a lie! I have the emails and texts from the initial estimate visit with the original quote of $1,700 that followed shortly thereafter and then the corrected one of $1,600 as well, and all the requests for me to approve the job. I never tried to weaponize anything, and the owner knows it; I just asked that you honor what your representative stated about the premium paint. Stating "people like me" was all I needed to hear and was what I suspected this ultimately was about. Which one are you: a racist, a homophobe, or both? But for sure, you are a young, petulant, and weak little boy who lacks professionalism and business ethics. DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE LIKE THIS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN THE WRONG ... DO BETTER NEXT TIME AND BE HONEST AS WELL!! ***PLEASE READ *** DECIDED TO SHARE AFTER OWNER DECIDED TO USE PROFANITY TOWARD ME WHEN IT WAS COMPLETELY UNWARRANTED*** Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience with PB Painting and the owner, Cameron. During the initial estimate, a representative quoted $1,700, but we explicitly agreed beforehand on a price of $1,600 with premium paint included. When the official quote arrived, the price was incorrectly listed at $1,700; after I pointed this out, they corrected it to the agreed $1,600. However, while dealing with a relentless automated texts and emails asking to approve the quote, I took a closer look at the fine print. I discovered they had specified Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint--which I verified directly with Sherwin-Williams is not their premium tier. It became clear they didn't expect me to check the actual product specs. When I called the owner, Cameron, to address this discrepancy, he casually claimed the job would actually cost more if I wanted the actual premium paint we had already settled on. When I calmly pointed out how unfair and seemingly misleading that was, Cameron abruptly cancelled the job, claiming he didn't want the "stress." When expressed the unexpected blatant unprofessionalism, Cameron escalated to profanity and told me, "F you." When I informed him that I would be sharing my honest experience in a public review, he threatened to sue me. I never raised my voice or swore; I simply expected them to honor their word and basic business ethics. Furthermore; Imagine advertising your business at @homedepot and then using Sherwin Williams Paint. This was actual shocking experience; but do as you wish.

Jim came to our home and was very respectful, we carefully went over the strategy necessary for doing the job right. Jim doesn't do half assed work and he doesn't skimp.

Hope to see you again soon on our next project!
