Decided to get 2 bids on a fairly large, and somewhat complicated home (3,500 SF). Chul was low bid bid and I decided to give him a shot. I was a little concerned when he said he'd do it in 2 weeks and it was "just" him. But he said he'd get it done, regardless of time and, as I was in no particular rush, it was a "go". We upgraded the paint to the highest quality and Jeff just charged the incremental cost. In addition to being highly knowledgable on all aspect of painting, Chul is very "tight" with the local Sherwin Williams folks, including their technical support. They made several trips out to view the project, both before starting and during the process. Plus their stated opinion was that Chul as an excellent painter. We were able to be involved in the paint selections, and to understand the various factors. My wife is good with color and between she and Chul they worked out the details of the color schemes. Most of the first week was spent cleaning and prepping to paint, plus applying a primer. Reason was the old paint that was more of a stain, and there was concern for adherence. But I appreciated his care in assuring the job was done correctly, regardless of timing implications. Note the effort throughout was not continuous, as there were numerous hold points for drying and so forth. So, I'm sure Chul was working on other things in that period. The house had been previously heavily pressure washed by the prior owner, to the point it had eroded the soft wood in some areas, creating a more textured surface than normal, and causing a visual problem as explained below. The wood was aged enough that there were numerous cracks and holes. Chul used over 100 tubes of caulk on the prep; plus using one type to seal the cracks and a higher grade caulk at the joints, allowing more flexibility and less chance to separate later. The 2nd week started the application of paint. Chul had proposed 1 primer coat and 2 paint coats. However, after starting the paint coat, he realized the the deep groves from the old pressure washing were going to create a shadowing effect and make the overall appearance less than desireable. Chul took it upon himself to stop painting and come to us to explain the problem. He could have just moved thru this and we'd have not know the difference. His proposal was to shift the 1st paint coat to a hi-build (elastomeric) type of paint normally used on a stucco home. This would allow some rebuilding of the grove wood to minimize the shadowing effect. It turned out, Sherwin Williams was not fond of the use of this paint on wood structures as the paint can tend to create a seal that does not allow any water intrusion to evaporate easily. After much discussion, we agreed to go with Chul's proposal, in part due to the home being lapped wood which I felt would not allow as much of a seal. This turned out best in the long run and did as much as possible to mitigate the shadowing effect. After the 1st paint coat, he applied the previously agreed upon higher grade paint as the 2nd and final coat. Then substantial time was required to paint all window trim (a different color) and paint all the roof mounted metal breathers and flashing. In the end, it took him 3 weeks, although not full time. And he did have some help on caulking, some of the trim painting and clean up. He seemed to be rushing a bit toward the end, which was understandable as I know there were others waiting for their jobs to start. Bottom line was Chul put an enormous amount of effort into the job; he really wants the result to speak well for his company. The final result exceeded expectations in many respects. It was probably a challenging project for Chul due to the age of the home and some of the challenges he had to overcome. I doubt other painters would have taken the time to work thru all the details satisfactorily, and we would not have been allowed the time to engage in both the pre-planning and the problem solving during the job. We did end up agreeing to pay for the additional paint used when we changed to the elastomeric paint for paint coat #1. Which we felt was fair. Plus, he helped me install an ornamental wooden insert at the apex of a high eave. He was always willing to assist in any way. We would not hesitate to recommend Chul highly to others. The final result exceeded expectations. read more

"I ended up having five estimates to pick from and chose Hightech Nice Painting because he impressed me with his demeanor - open, honest, and helpful in explaining the pros and cons of different paints so that I was able to pick the best product to fit my budget and lifestyle. The price quote he gave me was very reasonable. Chul worked fast and was very neat. He also saved the day when one accent paint I had chosen turned out to be a lot darker than the color chip I looked at. I was horror stricken and thought that the painted areas would have to be stripped of the color and re-done and that I would have to look at other paint options. Being an experienced painter, however, Chul mixed the paint with a light color used on other walls and came up with a very satisfactory solution! I was relieved and pleased with the new color, which was very close to what I had originally envisioned. The next time I need some painting done, I will call Chul and look no further!" read more

I feel good that I picked Hightech to paint my 4 bd 2 ba double story house fully occupied. The house is full of furniture. The task included painting all walls, doors, base boards and ceilings and to refinish all cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms. Chul gave me a good estimate of money and time and he did good on both of them. He is also very honest and friendly. I found him to be responsive. He would promptly reply to any phone calls or messages. He helped us with paint selection and sampling with respect to colors, shine etc. Chul's guys were also very polite and co-operative. They showed up every day on time and worked hard and long hours. It seemed as though customer satisfaction was their main goal. They did a very neat and clean job. There was no mess to clean up when they left and it was a great feeling that everything went so well. Therefore, I would like to give Hightech a well deserved good rating. I will recommend him for your next paint job. read more

In September,I enlisted the services of Hightech Painting to scrape and paint my detached garage and wrap-around farmer's porch.  The work also included scraping and painting all wood trim around the base and the front of my house.  From the beginning, starting with the quote, the owner of the company Chul was professional and ensured to answer any questions I had.  Hightech Painting showed up on time and worked full days ensuring to pick up at the end of each day. They did all the work that was contracted to be performed and also other incidentals they did not even have to do such as re-glazing the wooden window in the garage.  At each step of the way, Mr. Hong explained where they were at and ensured that I was comfortable with the work being performed as to quality and workmanship.I would recommend Hightech Painting to anyone who wants top-quality work that is performed in an economical and timely manner by friendly and courteous professionals. read more

Chul and his crew did the job right. I can finally stand to spend time in my kitchen and bathroom. I sigh with relief because the rooms were professionally painted this time around. Hightech Painting "takes care of you". From the color expert to the crew who do the job, they listen to you and answer all of your questions. They arrive when they say they will, and you don't have to wonder when the job will be finished. They get an A+ from me for the work they did and the customer service they provided. It's unfortunate that I didn't use Hightech Nice Painting from the beginning on my house, but the good news is -- I found an excellent painter who I can use over and over again for all of my future painting projects. As soon as I save more money for home repairs, I will be calling Chul back to re-paint the rest of the house. It's a relief to know that, at least where painters are concerned, I'll never have to search for another company. read more

Hightech Nice Painting is superb! Their customer service is great. My family has used Hightech Nice Painting for all of our painting needs for the past 8 years. They painted our home addition, our entire outside of our home. They are dependable and get all painting done quickly and perfectly. We also used him for our salon business. We knew we could save money by painting ourselves but we also knew it could not possibly look as amazing as Hightech Nice Painting would make it look in a shorter time. His prices are fair and the work he and his crew does is outstanding! Chul and his entire crew are personable, prompt, clean, and dependable. I will always use Hightech Nice Painting for all of our painting needs in the future and highly recommend you do as well. You will not be disappointed. read more

We hired High-Tech Nice Painting to paint our kitchen, front door and patch 13 holes in the family room ceiling left by a recent installation of recessed lights and then paint the ceiling. HIgh-Tech came highly recommended and we enthusiastically second that evaluation. They arrived precisely on time, carefully prepared the work site to protect against splatter, thoroughly cleaned the kitchen walls and ceiling, neatly patched all the holes, primed and painted both areas and cleaned up carefully after they were done. They were careful and precise in painting in corners and at edges. They were pleasant, patient and easy to get along with. Their bid was competitive. They will be our go-to painter for the next job m which is likely to be the whole exterior. Highly recommended. read more

We had a short timeline to paint the entire exterior and interior of our home before we moved in, and High Tech both met our timeline and did an excellent and professional job! Chul Hong (the owner) and his team were prompt, reliable and detail oriented. He explained special circumstances of our old paint in a way we could understand - and had a ready solution. We also had multiple different colors selected, and his team flawlessly implemented our choices and were a pleasure. We were also working on aspects of the house during their job, and they went out of their way to ensure they not only executed the job perfectly, but did so in a way that did not get in our (or our other contractors - it was a busy time!) way. I recommend them wholeheartedly. Thank you! read more

The supervisor and crew did an excellent job. Even in the July, they worked hard. We have an "L" shaped rambler and they completed the whole exterior in three days with prep and painting. We chose a main house color, an accent color, and eves/trim another color. Excellent customer service. Our contractor friend who installed a new front door for us, before the painting project, was impressed with the quality and timeliness of High tech Nice Painters. They used quality Sherwin Williams paint. It would have taken us so much longer to do this project ourselves, and it would not have turned out as nicely. Well worth the investment. We interviewed a few painters, and High tech Nice gave the best first impression, very professional, and best cost for the job. read more

Chul and his crew have done a spectacular job over and over again. Every time I saw his team, they were friendly, detail-oriented, and hard at work. Don't let his honesty and openness scare you - it seemed like Alan could scare folks away by being so honest. He may not be cheap, but he consistently provides the best quality job. Every time I see the rooms his crew did, I smile at the perfection - and his advice, from color to paint type to details I would never have thought of.Working with Chul and his crew is easy, I could tell they empower you to make decisions, ask questions, and keep everything on schedule. I wouldn't choose any other crew in the Bay area even for half the price - not worth two or three times the headaches. read more

We recently hired Chul and Mun to assist us in painting the interior downstairs of our Newmarket home. Their professionalism was apparent from their first day on the job; from arriving early each morning, to carefully protecting any areas from potential paint splatter, to cleaning up at the end of each workday. The actual painting was done in a timely and efficient manner and they clearly had a schedule and plan to get the job completed with as little disruption to our lives as possible. The finished job meets our high expectations. I would recommend Hightech Nice Painting without reservation read more

High Tech Nice did a great job on painting the exterior of my home in San Mateo. They were on time every day and completed the job in 2 1/2 days...shorter than the 3 days I was told it might take to finish. They paid very close to detail and the job was done to precision. The crew was very professional, hard working, and respectful. Out of four estimates Chuls price beat the other three and I would go as far to say his work is better than the other three companies. I highly recommend High Tech Nice Painting for any painting job of your needs. read more
