We saw the company paint another house down the street from us and we loved the job they did. We got an excellent quote and they painted our 1926 Spanish home here in San Francisco. They power washed, primed and painted and made sure all of our cars were covered in plastic as well as the neighbors cars as paint travels. They were meticulous in their detail and made sure we had the right colors to fit our home and cleaned up well after the painting was done as well as hauling all trash and paint away. They did an excellent job on our house and especially our separate garage door. We are very pleased with the job and can't stress how great the house looks.. Aaron is very professional and communicates well and can be reached easily. I highly recommend JB painting for all your painting needs read more

The best in the bay! We've hired JB painting for multiple jobs and always goes above beyond for their customers. And their prices are always competitive vs others! Thank you! read more

We recently had the exterior of our house painted by JB Painting and we are very pleased with the results! Josue and his crew worked very hard every day, showing up around 8:00 and working all day long. They were all professional and easy to have around, as well as excellent at their craft. JB Painting also did a number of other jobs for us which included concrete work on our patio (which turned out great); unsticking windows which had been painted shut for 30 years; installing new exterior lights; installing new house numbers; removing a small tree; power washing our porch, steps, driveway, and patio; and hauling things away. We can't say enough good things about our experience with JB Painting! read more

I just had my Eduardian house painted by JB Painting, and they did an amazing job. First off, the price was better than other bids, and Josue was very knowledgeable in discussing all the things that they could and would do. He clearly cared about doing a good job, and his crew followed suit. Painting a building can have a lot more options than many people realize, and he had great ideas and suggestions as we went along. If I decided I wanted to change something he was willing and responsive. He even suggested some things that were more work for him (and not more money), that he knew would make it look better. I did add some stuff in that was not in the original bid. we discussed the price of the add-ons ahead of time, and those fees were very reasonable. Several of my neighbors have commented on how much better the building now looks. I own a few buildings, so I have some experience working with contractors, and I could not have been happier with the work they did. Definitely five stars! read more

I was in need of a go-to, high quality painting vendor. I found just that with JB Painting. Their crew is professional and the results were amazing. I was very impressed and will call Aaron for future needs in the business. read more

I highly recommend Josue from JB painting. Our job consisted of adding 40+ sheets of drywall to our house, opening two casings wider, and installing recessed lights in all rooms. They did such a great job and I felt that their pricing was fair. Their quality of work and attention to detail were fantastic. When we had work being done by other contractors, Josue would pull me aside to ensure I was aware of any concerns. The name JB painting is misleading because they can do almost any job. read more

Josue and his team did an amazing job painting the entire exterior of our home. His team was always on time, super considerate, and did a thorough job. Josue was great about keeping us updated on timeline, addressing any and all of our questions, and making sure the end result was what we wanted. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and will definitely hire Josue and his team again. read more

Five stars all the way. Beautiful work on our building's lobby ceiling. From beginning to end Josue was professional, communicative and a pleasure to work with.

You get what you pay for. We had a great experience working with Josue + Marvin from JB Painting. They are very professional, knowledgeable and creative on finding ways to make it all happen. They started on our 1908 Victorian home on a Monday and by Thursday all done! Fantastic craftsmanship and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality paint job and service experience. read more

If you're seeing this because you came to this page for 5 star reviews, please read this one. Please. Please read it. Even if you still work with him. We effectively are one of the few large-scale up-to-date reviews and this guy really raked us over the coals for money in an unreal. I would also encourage you, as Faye P. said, to ask for his business license. They don't know colors. They don't act ethically. Josue is frankly rude and condescending. I preface this by writing that the job was eventually finished, and it was finished to a standard I'd give about a C-. Maybe. The professionalism, reliability, general conduct and utterly crass money-grabbing nature of Josue is something that deserves nothing but sheer disgust. I have never in my life ever had to contact my attorney involved with a contractor. Congrats Josue! Bet you weren't expecting that one! We hired Josue to paint the exterior of our house, the interior living room of our house and stain our fence and our deck. Josue sent us an email with a quote, and they began. It was $9850 for the whole time. Very quickly we saw that the paint they'd chosen for the green, which they pushed my wife to take versus go with her choice, was a sickly mint. I should note that they had already been painting the living room at this time as well. We very nicely asked Josue if we could change the colour and in return, Josue said two things: 1) That'll be $2800. 2) When she said it was ludicrous, he got flustered, said "well we have to make a decision in the next 20 minutes." It was 7:30am. I'd been working a long night. She pleaded - "can we have an hour?" To quote his reprehensible answer, he said "wife's name, the world doesn't revolve around you." He then immediately halted work on the interior painting. This is in no way reasonable, nor fair, nor related to the exterior painting, but he sure did it. I said $1500, he said $2000, and out of sheer exhaustion I excepted what I see as borderline extortion. He even had the gall to say, when I asked for a rundown of his expenses, "Well, you run a business, do YOUR clients ask for a run down of expenses?" I told him - yes, I do. He went quiet. I should add Josue's tone on the phone with my wife was immensely different to his tone to me in person. When he spoke on the phone - we had him on speaker - to my wife, he was condescending, rude, talked over her. In person he was quiet, and though he did try and talk over me, well, anyone who knows me well knows that doesn't tend to go well for anyone. The only reason we didn't kick him and his team out was because they were working. Still. And had half-finished the front room. Don't worry, we'll get there. Oh, and I should add Josue sure loved reminding us that he "lost money" on the front room. Well he sure made money on the outside of the house to me. So, here we are, $2000 more on top of the job, and they paint the house. They paint it. All of it. We take a look around and realize that they clearly didn't clean the property (please do check out our photos) - you know how we know that? Well, they painted over a spiderweb. And a spider. That's pretty obvious that they didn't clean it properly. Then the next day, it peeled - and they did a sloppy job painting over it, as you can see from our other photo. They eventually got those were cleaned and corrected, but the house was still not cleaned properly initially. Remember the interior job? Well, we have an number of stair rails. I've included a picture of the job they did when painting them. You'll see all of them are painted black, apart from one that's left right. We told this to Josue. His first defense was that the rail was not part of the room (as it was to the left of a walkway to the garage). By that logic, surely the left rail of that staircase would also be right? His response to this was - pretty grumpily - to say that it was in the contract. This is the equivalent of a gameshow buzzer for me, because there's one person I know who loves looking at contracts - my attorney! So I decided as Josue wanted to talk about contracts, my attorney would love to talk about contracts with him. Turns out the moment I did that over email Josue suddenly decided that in fact the stair rail - and don't worry I've included pictures - was in fact part of the room. Note, his cohort had agreed to paint them out of some sort of sympathy or possibly some other reason I'm not sure of. It's irrelevant. They did it. Then, finally, there's the fence. We canceled this part. And the deck. Why? Because we asked for semi-transparent. The stain (see the photo!) came out looking like...well, paint. You tell me if that looks transparent. It doesn't. We argued with them, they yelled to check the paint can, and we pointed to the many, many pieces of spare wood (we're having work done) they could have tested it on. If you want an expensive job done in a painful and mediocre manner, you know who to call. read more

Josue and his crew painted the entire exterior of my house and my garage (a separate building.) He also replaced several areas of dry rot, replaced aging window frames, and built shutters for my front window. He was also able to locate a source for the paneling I needed for my house. This was especially challenging since we were trying to match the siding used in 1939 (the year my house was built.) I would also like to add Josue was an excellent communicator. He would always let me know when issues came up and decisions needed to be made. His pricing is on the high side BUT the quality is worth the price. If you want a paint job that looks sharp and will last a long time please consider this company. I found the quality of his work to be outstanding. read more

JB Painting is the best! I've used them several times over the years and have always been very satisfied with their work. JB and his staff are professional, flexible, and considerate of your time. I highly recommend JB Painting! read more

I needed to have a bedroom ceiling and a closet ceiling and wall repaired JB Painting came in with the quickness and handled the project. I'm definitely pleased read more

Josue and his team of painters were exceptional. We had them paint 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, two long hallways, the kitchen and breakfast room, a formal dining room and the large living room, as well as an office and a waiting room. Our experience was topnotch. His bid was very reasonable, and when we added some things after the job started, his extra charges were very fair. His crew is friendly, clean, and professional. They cleaned up every day, and worked around our schedule, so we were not too disrupted. I cannot understand the 1 star reviews. JB Painting was a great find, and we will use them in the future. read more

Joel knows his trade,he's clean, on time,a hard worker,he did a beautiful job for me,he covers everything floors ,furniture I will be calling him again for my bedrooms read more

Josue and his crew did a fabulous job. Our house is a bit older and had a lot of kinks and issues (textured walls that needed to be smooth, prior painting errors that had been poorly masked) and Josue and team transformed the house into a beautiful, brand-new feeling home! Josue was very professional and easy to work with, and we exchanged itemized lists that helped keep track of the many aspects of the job. He has a great attention to detail, and a keen professional eye - he even helped me finalize some color decisions. On top of this, the whole crew was a pleasure and highly competent. I would highly recommend Josue and his team!!! read more

We hired JB Painting to paint the exterior of our home. In short, they did high quality work at a reasonable price making them a good deal for anyone interested in quality exterior painting. I would hire them again without hesitation. Additionally, they are capable of handling more complicated jobs that smaller painting companies could not. JB Painting successfully completed a tough job -- it was challenging in three ways: 1) it is 3.5 stories (so on the tall side), 2) it had wood rot on the chimney requiring replacement, and 3) it has a number of older windows and extensive trim work. Key takeaways on their work: 1) attention to detail was all that could be asked -- windows, doors, trim were thoroughly caulked preventing potential leaking and deterioration while extending the life of the exterior wood work, 2) timeliness - the proposed schedule was reasonable and the target completion date was met, and 3) suggestions on details that came up along the way made for a better outcome. read more

Our agency called for an estimate. Josue was quick and was able to provide an estimate on-site and via email the next day. However, he became increasingly irate and full of attitude after we contacted him again stating that we also needed touch-ups around our agency and some clarifications on the estimate. After we asked for proof of insurance, he declined our business, stating that our "small project" wasn't worth his time and disconnected the phone on us. Customer service was very rude and he had no patience at all. Also, with the fact that he declined our business after we asked for insurance shows that this might be a shady business. read more

I am so very happy with my exterior house painting results. I have a large, older home with many windows and trim details. JB Painting performed excellent prep work and was very patience we me and my multiple color changes. They we always prompt, courteous and considerate. The price was fair for the amount of work my house needed. I can't wait to have them back for my interior projects next! I am recommending JB Painting to my friends and family. read more

JB Painting - Painters Near Me - Oakland, California

JB Painting just painted the exterior of our house. Fantastic experience all around. Josue is one of the most dependable people I've ever dealt with. He's very responsive, always on time, very detail-oriented, and really knows his stuff. And beyond all that, he and his crew did a fabulous job on the painting. A couple times they uncovered some damage on the house that they repaired with no headaches and no problems, and all the way Josue kept me informed of all the developments. I would hire Josue and JB Painting again in a heartbeat. read more

My experience with Josue, and the crew of JB painting was everything you want in a professional home service. Since I moved from Brooklyn, NY to Oakland, this is my first home owning experience. JB painting not only painted my interior beautifully, but were able to act as a general contractors,providing help in many different directions, including installation of mouldings, doors, door frames, knobs, light fixtures, you name it. Josue seems to have relatives that can do everything! Especially the kind Jose. All with speed, attention to detail, and good humor. There were six or seven people here at some points, and my neighbors remarked how quiet it was. I feel as if I've made a relationship here for the rest of my home owning life. Thanks to JB Painting for their GREAT work!! read more

I needed to paint a couple of walls, all my oak window sills, and all my oak staircase handrails. So what did I do? I bought some paint from the local hardware store and got to work. 3 days later and with lots of perspiration and very little completed work to show for it, I decided enough was enough. As I always do, I perused through Yelp looking for a painter with great reviews. I came across JB Painting and contacted them on a Sunday and left a message not expecting to hear back. To my surprise, Josue, the owner contacted me within half an hour. I explained my project and told him I needed help getting this done. We agreed on a day which would work for the both of us. He is text friendly so I texted him my address and communicated via text in addition to calls throughout the time he was working on my home project. On the day of the project, he came with his crew and I gave him a tour of my home and the areas which needed paint. He took it all in and asked intelligent questions to make sure we were on the same page while also offering his professional opinion on the best way to handle each area. Josue is a true professional and its evident the moment you meet him. His crew started immediately and wasted no time. I've hired painters in the past and many times they waste time talking, pretending to work, or are just slow. Not JB Painting. These guys were all business and wasted no time. They took an hour lunch and decucted this from the bill. Their painting skills are awesome. The paint looks amazing! After this project, I contacted them again to paint the front of my home including my garage exterior. Again, they did an amazing job. My home looks phenomenal and many neighbors are driving bye giving us thumbs up signs as they approve of the new color. These guys are awesome and I wouldn't hesistate to call them again. They do great painting work, are reasonably priced, and are as honest as they come. read more

So what does one say about a company with all 5 star reviews? Surely there must be something to say that would justify 4 stars instead of 5. Well...actually not, we whole-heartedly give Josue and his team five stars (and six if we could). JB Painting painted, inside and out, our 108 year old, 5000 square foot, four-story, house and we were very happy with the outcome. First of all Josue's price was quite reasonable compared to the other bids we received. Next he was very accommodating to our schedule and provided just the right level of support, and encouragement, for us in picking colors and paints. The work was of high quality for both the prep work and actual painting. The crew had quite an attention to detail. Josue is a bit of a perfectionist and that carried over to the foremen and the painters. The final 'punch list" was done completely and to our complete satisfaction. Extras we asked for were also done at a reasonable price. I agree with one of the other reviewers that "Josue and his guys worked with us, and they were super-flexible as we figured out what we wanted. Finally, I appreciated that they cleaned up really well at the end of each day and at the end of the job. It was great to work with a crew that was detail-oriented, pleasant, and very competent." On that reviewer's last point, I want to really point out how comfortable we were with the crew in our house. Many our family members and they were universally enjoyable to have in our home with or without us being there. Sometimes one gets nervous with workers in every room and closet of your house, but we felt very much at ease with them here, sometime 6 to 8 people at one time. The last day we provided a big lunch for everyone and it was a pleasure to say thanks to such a great crew that made our house a better place. We highly recommend JB Painting. read more

Josue Landa and his crew just painted two rooms in my house. The whole experience from the bidding process through the final clean-up and paint can labeling was terrific. The crew was dependable, efficient with great attention to detail. They prepped the rooms thoroughly and did an excellent job throughout. They were nice to have around and just very considerate. I would recommend Josue Landa and JB Painting to anyone without reservation. read more

We had a few interior walls and trim painted in our place. Josue, Josue jr. and team were awesome! they completed the job quickly and did an amazing professional job! i can't wait to have them back to work on the rest of our space! Sergio read more

JB Painting does top notch work with very competitive pricing. The crew is professional, hard working and perfectionists. Josue, the owner of the business, is honest, trustworthy, reliable, and an overall wonderful person. When I was on vacation, he watered my plants for me even though his crew was not working at my house that week. Josue has a very good eye for design and color. He made paint choice selections that elevated the look and feel of what I wanted to achieve. I am extremely happy with the final outcome. If you want professionals you can trust who deliver top of the shelf work, hire this company. read more

I thought I couldn't go wrong after reading all these 5 star reviews. However, I should have known better when his first question was "do you want a good job, or an okay job? " Who is paying for a job and doesn't want a great one? This review has taken me several months to post, but as I still see the terrible work left behind, I felt compelled to share with others. I needed my trim and doors changed from a cherry-red wood color to white. I was quoted a really high price considering the work for just trim in 2 rooms. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to get it done so agreed. At first glance, I thought they did a good job, but not soon thereafter, I discovered that they missed a ton of areas. They did come back to finish when I called to complain. BUT THEN, I started noticing that the red wood was bleeding through the white. Not a professional painter myself, but I quickly realized, from seeing all the red wood residuals that were left all throughout the rooms, that the painters NEVER cleaned the sanded wood and just painted over it! This was so obvious because of how dirty the rooms were. The red wood was sanded, and the wood dust was ALL OVER the walls, ceilings, floors and everything else. Again, not a painter, but even I know that the area should be cleaned before final paint! Now, we have 2 major rooms with very poor paint quality. I ended up repainting them myself, and with no experience, it looks a thousand times better! If you look at pictures, you will see my work on top of the trim, and their work at the bottom part of the trim. Hard to tell in the photos, but colors are vastly different. You can tell it's yellow, and not white! I still can't believe how much I paid to get this terrible job! read more

These guys were great and I will be using them for years to come! Tenant moved out, needed fresh paint, called these guys, the owner Josue picked up and we scheduled a time frame within a few days. I didn't have the paint ordered on time, so had to reschedule at the last minute. I felt bad but they were able to accommodate and didn't make me feel any worse about it. Then at the next meeting, I had to leave them the keys and I didn't want to leave a blank check. They did a great job painting! Emailed me an invoice and I mailed them a check! Very professional, highly recommend! read more

While on a garden tour, we saw a home that had been painted beautifully. The homeowner told us that JB Painting had done the work, and we contacted Josue straight away. Josue turned out to be professional from the very beginning. He provided a reasonable, written estimate for the cost of painting the exterior of our house; and was fair and accurate about his availability and how long the job would take. Needless to say, our home looks great. His work carries a one year warranty, so that when there was a problem with one small area, he returned to fix it at no cost. Highly recommended. read more

Josue and his crew painted the exterior of our Victorian house in Alameda. Josue was responsive and efficient and his team of workers were lovely. They worked really hard, arrived early, left late and took real pride in their work. They were also polite and seemed happy. One day I came home from the supermarket and they helped me carry my shopping bags! My house needed a lot of prep and they went the extra mile. Instead of cutting corners, they painstakingly made sure everything was repaired and sealed. I have no hesitation in recommending them. read more

JB Painting recently finished repairing and painting my entryway and living room. They showed up on time and finished the in the estimated time, despite additional unplanned repairs. Everyone was courteous and accommodating. I would not hesitate calling Josue and his crew again. read more

Finding a painter is not easy. You just never know how it's going until it's done. It's a leap of faith. Josue came recommended by my realtor, but still: you never know. We bought and renovated a 1902 bungalow in oakland. The house was in great shape structurally, but needed a total facelift. Walls, moldings, doors, light fixtures. Josue and his team transformed our house. They did beautiful work, cleaned up when done, were clear communicators, incredibly patient and a pleasure to work. Their fees were incredibly reasonable especially given the amount of time and number of people on the team. I recommend JB painting highly! read more

Josue and his team did a terrific job on an interior paint job I had done in October 2012. His prices are reasonable and he takes care in his work. In February I called on him again for a trim job, and his prices were still within reason. I decided to cancel this second job as I am renting and thought it best to wait until I own. When I do, Josue will be my go to for any painting needs. I would highly recommend him! read more

JB Painting is great! I purchased a new condo and needed the whole interior painted quickly. Not only was Josue responsive, his work is thorough. I gave him a call and he was able to come and paint within two days. His rate was extremely affordable, which usually means lackluster work, but the quality of work was great! I will use JB or any future painting needs! read more

Josue was incredibly prompt and professional. He was able to get me a quick on site estimate. He tolerated some minor changes to the job well. There were a good number of different colors to do in each of the 4 bedrooms and he had it straight. He and his crew were quick, professional and worked cleanly. I could not recommend him more highly. I will use him again and again! read more

Joseu and his crew are as professional as it comes! They did a beautiful job, inside and out! Joseu takes a lot of pride in the work his company does, and wants to make sure you are very pleased with the result. I recommend making sure all the specifics things you want painted in a room, are written in the original contract, so everyone is on the same page. I will definitely use them again!!! read more

We had Josue and his team paint our living room, which has very high cathedral ceilings. When he came over to give us an estimate, I happened to mention that we wanted a wall of mirrors removed from our dining room. Josue and his team did a wonderful job painting and they also removed the mirrors. They did such a good job that we asked them to come back to install and paint our baseboards. Josue was very professional, efficient, and on time. He is a great communicator and kept me updated with emails and texts. I would definitely use him again and I highly recommend his work. read more

These guys did a fantastic job on my home. Josue and his son were awesome. They did the interior and the exterior and it is flawless. The best part was that they did it while I was on vacation, saving me a huge hassle and sparing my kids from the paint fumes. They were great; you can't go wrong with them. read more

Not only did Josue and his crew do an amazing paint job, they also sealed and repaired our window frames, which solved some leaking issues. Would definitely use their painting service again. read more
