After 3 estimates, we decided to go with Exterior Specialists because the owner (Chris) has been…read morepainting houses for 30 years. While the others seemed like salesmen, Chris was straightforward, but his expertise shined through! He wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive...just right - like Goldilocks. The painters are all long term employees curated over 30 years and it shows! The crew was 3-5 people and they were very well organized, friendly, and most of all, hard working! The crew lead, Javier, was like a master overseeing his apprentices while working harder than everyone. Chris came on site several times over the week to check on things as well. I was amazed by all the prep work the crew did and well they cleaned up at the end of each day! Chris says the prep work is the most important part painting and it pays to do it right. His experience is vast and helped us select our colors from our finalists along with advising on some other non-painting related work we needed done such as sandblasting, roofing, and gutters. We really felt like we were is good, capable and honest hands! I write very few online reviews...only for truly exceptional service which certainly applies to Exterior Specialists! I highly recommend them for exterior painting.

Recently, we had to repaint and repair the exterior of our house. After being rejected by other…read morepainters who said our house was too tall (it's 2 stories tall) and old we, searched through Yelp. Seeing the high ratings, we decided to hired Chris and his team from Exterior Specialists and are extremely pleased with the results. TL;DR: - Chris and his team are both efficient/ultra fast and skilled at their jobs (finished in a week, half the estimated time, and produced very high quality work) - Great work ethic from his team: on time, flexible, and clean (everything was organized and put away at the end of each day), despite scorching hot weather - Able to repair eaves (whether it be refurbishing or replacing) to be brand new - Chooses highest quality paint and won't get any paint on surfaces you don't want it on (the ground, lights, other decor) - Chris has great taste when it comes to choosing a color scheme for your home More Details: Firstly, Chris has great artistic taste in terms of what colors to choose to best fit your home. Our vision for the project was to refurbish our home to become more modern, which meant choosing a different exterior paint color. Unable to decide which colors to choose, we asked Chris what colors he would recommend. Not only was he able to immediately recommend different colors, but the color scheme he chose for us fitted our home perfectly and was exactly what we had in mind. Chris and his team's work is of the highest quality. Many of our home's eaves had been damaged by termites and needed replacing; many of the wooden boards were not only very high up and hard to reach, but also very large. Yet, he said it was no problems and his carpenters were able to make our eaves look brand new. They even went beyond replacing the badly damaged boards and helped sand and fill in the rest of our eaves! The paint was also of the same level of quality. Chris will help you choose the most premium paint that both looks nice and is more grime resistant than other paints. His painting team is highly skilled: there are no paint bubbles or flakes, no messy streaks or flecks to be seen, and they'll make sure any lights or decorations on the exterior walls are removed or completely covered. The greatest merit of Chris and his team, however, is their work ethic. We were in the middle of a heat dome when they started work, meaning temperatures were in the high 90s to 100s all day. Despite the unpleasant weather, Chris's team would arrive on time every day and work with no complaints. The workspace was always kept clean and organized at the end of each day; upon finishing, they made sure the surrounding area was extra clean. The most surprising thing is, the team was able to finish the project in a week, a whole week faster than the original 2 week estimate! It is amazing how quickly yet masterfully they were able to complete the work in these summer conditions, and we thank them for all their hard work (not to mention that they were able to start work a day or two after Chris's appraisal). His team is also very flexible. We initially weren't planning on repainting our garage since it was newer, but after seeing how it looked with the new colors, we decided we wanted to repaint it as well. Even though they were wrapping up when we asked them, they were able to immediately purchase the needed paint and still finish on the same day! We cannot more highly recommend Exterior Specialists to work on your house: you won't be disappointed!

I wasn't ready to…read moreinvest in a complete remodel and left the original shower tiles and salvaged the old vanity, but my bathroom looks completely transformed nonetheless. I had gotten 3 estimates before I found Miguel and let's just say that Miguel offers extremely reasonable prices. Two of the quotes I received were at least double of what Miguel quoted me. Miguel is easy to communicate with and reviewed all the work I requested. I wanted new flooring, wall paneling removed and smoothed out with new paint, change of all the fixtures and exhaust fan, change the shower door and mirror, and add a recessed light over the shower. He provided the quote and we agreed to a payment plan. He informed me of everything that I needed to purchase on my end and have ready for his team when they arrived. They were punctual and very respectful of the space and clean as well. You can tell Miguel really takes pride in his work and even went above and beyond what we originally agreed to. I also asked him to change out the vanity in the guest bathroom as a last minute request and he was able to help me with that too. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Miguel and his team and will definitely call him for any future projects!

Recently with his partner Pancho they installed a whole house water filtration system and RO filter, installed a split AC system in the work studio and re-floored our entire house, including the kitchen and bathroom. Everything they have done was up to professional standards and was done with a lot of care. They remained flexible as issues arose (something always comes up!) and they were fast and courteous throughout every job. We will definitely hire them again as other projects come up.

From the early onset of power washing the house and garage, to the detailed and meticulous prep work that went into it, to the priming and finally the 2-coat paint job, all of it done with professionalism and care. They complete the work by carefully checking for any and all blemishes and areas in need of special attention and do the necessary repair work beautifully. Some of my rafters had suffered rot due to the elements. That took care of that as well. They have the resources to tackle any issue related to painting the exterior, all in the name of high quality standards and service. Value? Very reasonable for the professional work, care and work ethic! They very much care about best practices, something you simply can't say about others in this business. Exterior paint to any home can make or break the look and aesthetic charm of that home. It will make your home look absolutely beautiful and look like a new home, or absolutely ghastly and an eyesore. My neighbors couldn't believe the change they saw. Our porch our stained and varnished front door, simply awesome. Oscar Ramos and his crew made my home look stunningly beautiful! Ramos Painting Services; everyone should hire them! They are a home's best friend! The choice is yours! We bought the paint and primer from Sherwin Williams. Couldn't have been happier with our choice and their products. Cheers!

Three years later, everything has held up well, and our landmark house looks pristine. We asked Ramos to freshen up our back deck this month, and the team did a great job again for a great price. They went beyond the agreed upon task and painted a door threshold and garden urn at no extra cost. We feel we really lucked out finding this painter and highly recommend Ramos Painting Services for its quality and value.

Painted over hinges and wood french doors while painting body/stucco house. Didn't use scaffolding as discussed during estimate process. Used ladders balanced on stairs w/ paint buckets. Huge safety risk to Jose/Brian (his only crew at time of job) + owner liability risk. Sprayed over everything w/out cleaning/prep (look at window shim). Splattered paint on terra cotta tile walkways + clay roof tile. Painted dirt/sand into railing, sprayed paint on fence (this part of fence not in contract). Trampled on landscaping. Communicated these concerns to Paul constantly from the beginning. Had to stop them mid-job to prevent more damage. Huge cost to undo work already done. We reluctantly agreed to let him come back and fix after realizing he only has 2 workers. On 9/7, after waiting 6 weeks+, with no estimated return date and house in shambles, we had to move on and file a complaint (started 7/9, worked 9 days, made them stop 7/20, agreed to let them fix on 7/29, never returned). Said they had started apartment project but promised to fix as soon done and they had no other jobs and wouldn't book any more until ours is fixed. Complaint is now in the hands of contractor's board. I will say, Paul was nice and respectful throughout this process, guaranteed we'd be happy with results. But the work resulted in so many more problems that now need to be fixed and we were in limbo waiting for them to come back with no action. Now we have to pay someone $$$$ to fix their mistakes. Absolutely cannot recommend this business. So disappointing and don't know how to get this worked corrected. So much worse than when we started. Just look at the photos.

( Btw, the last time when he painted our house he did such a wonderful job that one of my neighbors walking by asked me for Seong's info. and ended up hiring him for painting their house too) This time, I was once again amazed by the meticulous work Seong did. Not only was his painting job great, he actually helped me with several other items I was trying to tackle by myself such as caulking the kitchen counter, fixing a light switch, and even patching a cracked cement in the drive way... all this for a very reasonable fee. Seong is one of those rare breed of people who has a big heart and is out to help people in need. If I can rate his service more than 5 Stars, I would definitely do it because he 100% deserves it

We're juggling post-lead and asbestos remediation, renting a place 40 minutes away, working full-time, and caring for a young child. Coordinating multiple estimates at once isn't a luxury for us, it's a necessity. At no point did Seong mention that he has an issue with clients getting more than one quote. Instead of being upfront about his "one-contractor only" expectation, he chose to waste our time and walk away on the spot. It came across as unprofessional, inflexible, and dismissive of our situation. If you consider hiring Seong, make sure you ask very clearly about his attitude toward competing bids and your time. Based on our experience, I would not rely on him for anything that requires basic respect, communication, or professionalism.
