I called Lee for a quote on Tuesday and he came the SAME DAY! He brought lots of color samples and inspected my condo while I picked the colors. He quoted me $2,400 for the entire place and I had sticker shock so he was straight to the point and explained each of the charges. After he explained each room, each task, each labor cost and material cost - I understood. He uses Dunn paint so I know it would be quality that will last. And to his defense, I did chose 6 colors total! White for most of the condo and five accent colors for each of the rooms (3), kitchen and loft. Accommodating all my colors at that price is pretty good since my friend was quoted the same amount for only doing 3 coats of white by another painter. Also, I needed a rush job because we were moving in the following weekend! He came and gave me a quote on Tuesday, started Thursday and finished on Saturday! Lee's Painting is an awesome family business. When I came on Thursday, I saw him and his son laying down tape, paper and sheets to protect my wood floors. When I came on Saturday, I saw him and his brother finishing up my condo and all the paint work looked so AMAZING! Nice crispy lines between the white and accent wall colors! Great consistency in all the walls - no spots! My floors were clean! I was even more in love my new condo! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a painter and will also be calling him in the future! read more

Lee's Painting - Mustard accent wall - Painters Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Mr. Lee was a little late to our first meeting for the estimate, but after that he was always on time and very reliable. They finished painting our 1,450 sqft condo in 2 days. Mr. Lee was there maybe 40% of the time, but his two assistants were very nice and careful. Overall I'm very happy and would recommend Mr. Lee to my friends! read more

After years of being annoyed that we didn't have time to paint our place before we moved in, we finally broke down and had our interiors painted. We heard about Lee from my parents who had used Lee a few years ago and were really happy with him and his crew. Lee came by for an estimate about two weeks before we wanted the work to be done. He showed up right on time, which is a huge plus in my book. Lately vendors have been flakey. His prices are fair, as far as I know, we didn't comparison shop at all since he had been a recommendation from my parents. We weren't that concerned about price, we just wanted someone to do a good job. He prefers to use Dunn Edwards Paints, so the day before the job was scheduled, we called him with our selection of colors as requested. He painted our living room, dining room, hallways, two bedrooms and two baths. It took three days but only because after he had done the living room, dining room and one bedroom, I decided the color I CHOSE wasn't dark enough, so he had to spend an extra day redoing the areas where we wanted that color. My fault, not his. We highly recommend Lee! read more

Initially, Jay Lee super cool and on time. After he got the job, he show up late and seem very stressed. As one of the reviews said is quality is shit and If he gains your trust you will regret it. As I tried to be nice and respect what he does but of course these guys will take advantage. I was quoted no more then 3 to 5 day repaint my house. No sanding, priming. He did patch spots I requested. But he will not exceed your expectations Jay Lee will do a shitty job and tell you if he missing spot let him know he will come back but of course he never does. This painter is untrustworthy and is a disappointment of quality. He will waste your time and money. His quality is substandard. Believe this review or not, you get what you pay for, shame on your Jay Lee, for doing a shitty job and we trusted you. read more

VERY professional. Highly recommend him. I had part of my dining room and Living room re-pained and he showed up on time, taped everything, removed things, covered things, even sweaped the floor when he was done! AND ALL THIS ON A VERY REASONABLY PRICE ( SHockingly reasonable) I even left the house a few time, totally trustworthy guy. I actually just called him back and paint one more wall for me, I hope he takes the job. Its a small job, but I hope he will make the time. Lee if you read this, please say yes! :) read more

This guy is great. Always gets me a fast quote and even though he's busy he tries and fits me in in a couple weeks.

This is years overdue, but Lee's painting was wonderful!! Really great service and a great price too. Painted exterior of large house with all trim windows etc. beautiful work. Wish we could use them again, thank you!! read more

Great prep work, great price, great services; one suggestion - make sure writing down the color of the paint on the contract. Highly recommend and will use him again in the future. read more

Look no further. Lee's was the best. I need to get the interior of the house repainted. Like most of you, I read all the reviews and called many contractors for estimates. Mr. Lee came the same day I called him for an estimate and gave me a detailed written estimate on the spot (other contractors either gave me a verbal quote or had to email me a day later). What I couldn't believe was that the range of quotes I got...the highest and lowest differed by $3000. I mean, com'on, do some of these guys don't think we shop around? Anyway, so I gave the job to Lee's. I was expecting his workers to do most of the work while he would check in every few hours. It turned out that Mr. Lee and his brother did most of the work themselves. It was a six-day job and Mr. Lee and his brother had two helps for half the time and the rest of the job was done by themselves! Mr. Lee was usually the first one to arrive and last one to leave to make sure nothing was left undone. They were super nice, patient, and courteous whenever we asked him questions or to do some "extra" stuff and they offered many good unsolicited advices on how to improve the rest of the house. The house looks fabulous and I will definitely call them back when we are ready to paint the outside. read more

Mr Lee met me for a same day estimate. He was prompt, polite, and knew what he was doing. Mr. Lee gave me a quote in line with a few other painters. Ultimately I fell back on using my contractor's painter because his painter could work around my contractor's other providers and do dry wall and other things in concert with other installers. Mr. Lee would have come in as an outside painter, and it would have been too hard to coordinate. Hopefully I can reach out to Lee's Painting in the future. Thanks Lee's painting. read more

Don't even bother try painting on your own if you want the perfect look. We called Lee on Saturday and he came in on monday to give us a rough estimate and did a wonderful job on tuesday. We just bought a house and there're 2 rooms / 2 bathrooms needed to be painted and Lee and his partner did everything in 6 hours! They are true professionals. So happy that we found them! Nicest guys, so pleased to have them around, very fast! They will deliver the results you want! Huge plus, super reasonable and they even vacuumed the rooms for us. Highly recommend! We couldn't be happier! Thanks guys! read more

Lee's Painting - the giant wall used to be grey and they did such an amazing job painting in white to match with the rest of the house. - Painters Near Me - South Pasadena, California

He has a bad attitude. I hired him to paint the exterior of my house, he stormed off when he saw that interior construction was still going on (yeah, surprise, delays by my contractor), and didn't want to work since other people would be around. My property has a long driveway but there are still 5 ft setbacks around the house. He complained that my contractor had his trailer on the driveway. Apparently five feet was still not enough room to work. read more

Let's call this 3 1/2 stars. I had Lee's Painting do some interior work this time and they did a fine job but not quite as superb as the exterior job a couple of years ago. The job was rushed, some walls weren't as carefully prepped (disintegrating plaster) as they should have been, and parts of the kitchen have very noticeable drips that a careful painter would have brushed out. The wall behind the washing machine looks like a child painted it since it was done apparently in a big rush as the last minute. Can't see it, though, so it's hardly a major issue. I think they were rushing to get to another job. The work was done quickly, the price was fair, they use careful tarping of the floors, they cleaned up after themselves well, the painting quality was mostly good, but not as first-class as I was expecting. I would hire them again, but next time I'd be a little more careful to look over the work as it was being done and "suggest" a little more care here and there. A good company that this time was a little too rushed. read more

Mr Lee and his team are pros. They came on time, check out the job and gave quote right away. His team are great and got the job done with excellent quality of work very fast. Would work with them again. read more

We called Mr. Lee for an estimate to paint our condo. He picked up right away and arrived later that day as promised. His estimate was much less than the estimate we got from another company that we've used in the past. His team came a few days later to paint our condo, and we were very happy with the quality of the work and how quickly it was done. Overall, we were very happy with how easy and quick the whole process was to get our condo painted. read more

I needed a painter and fast! My home loan was stalled with FHA because the exterior needed to be painted. I went on Yelp in a desperate attempt to find a painter and found the previous two reviews for Lee's Painting Co. I was not disappointed! Lee's Painting Co is EXCELLENT!!! They arrived on time everyday and worked for at least 8 hours a day. My home was painted in four days and it looks beautiful!!! Lee's Painting Co paid attention to even the smallest details and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a painter. Thank you Lee's Painting Co!!! read more

We have used Mr. Lee for three jobs, a bathroom was our first and we have had him back two more times. He did an excellent job on our gate outside, perfection! And next we had Mr. Lee and his workers paint three more rooms inside of our house. We were not disappointed! They even fixed broken baseboards. We will be hiring Mr. Lee and his crew again to finish painting the inside of our home. They are the best! read more

I want to contact Lee's Painting for a quote, does anyone have a better number than the one listed on Yelp? It says it is 'offline' for now. HELP!!! read more

Mr.Lee and his crew arrived early and only took 2 and half days to paint the outside of our home.. It was job done to perfection. They are very detail oriented. The best part is only cost 1/3 of other estimats. read more

I DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE ANY STARS BUT WAS MADE TO BY YELP! I have to say that when considering a painter I came to Yelp because all the other reviews I had gotten for other services had helped me find the right people for the job, and I thought the two reviews on Lee's Painting were going to help me again in picking a painter. They couldn't be more off the mark. If you have a house or room you needed painted and it's pretty basic, no patching or sanding, then Lee can do the job. Give him a major job where all rooms and bathrooms needed to be patched, sanded, primed, painted, and he'll get overwhelmed and won't be able to do the job. He started off well enough, but he kept saying it was a lot of patching and mending before doing the actual painting. My husband did reminded him that that's what I had spoken to him about and showed him. He came to give the estimate and I walked him around and told him how the house, that we had just bought, needed a LOT of work. He made no notes only jotting down rooms and bathrooms and how much it would cost. He did not write what needed to be done like the amount of patching, sanding etc. I kept telling him "look at this it needs to be scrapped, sanded, primed and painted." I kept telling him this and "look here Mr. Lee isn't this awful." "Isn't this a bad paint job." He would just nod and move on. He took 3 1/2 days and on the third day I knew something was not going right because the master bathroom seemed untouched. What ended up happening was a rushed up job in the end. He touched up the white doors with another shade of white so now you see two kinds of white. He didn't sand the old paint off that was chipping and just painted over it so you can still see the chipped pattern, he also didn't prime it so the paint will come off again. He left the master bathroom looking worse than when he started. The ceiling of the bathroom was left with bumps where he patched but didn't sand and the same for the another wall of the bathroom. I was AMAZED at his lack of professionalism. He didn't sand anything just covered up and painted. I was SHOCKED. I really was. I could not believe my eyes. I had gone over with him everything I wanted done and he acted as if we had never spoken. I was and am amazed at his incompetence and careless attitude. I told him to forget it and that I would finish the bathroom and closets myself. He made the excuse that he wanted to save me money! I was so upset. I truly was and am upset that this man came into my house said he was going to do ABC and then didn't finish the job. What my husband I suspect is that he had other work lined up and did not time our job properly and then saw himself in a pinch and just wanted to get out as fast as he could to get to the other job. He left and didn't put the shutters back and lost one of our light switch panels. He didn't use tape to make sure he didn't paint over something. We found imperfections where he went over one color with another because he didn't use tape, he didn't paint our room correctly, we found some old paint coming through the new paint. He left paint drops on the floor and on our shower curtain. He lost a screw to one of our shutters. A MESS. He was so careless and the whole thing about using a different shade of white for the touch ups is just insane! I could not believe my eyes and he still wanted to get paid. We paid, but I'll tell you now run don't walk away from this man. DO NOT HIRE HIM AT ALL! I was shocked and extremely disappointed as I really thought he was going to do a good job. We now have to correct what he messed up. I think the two other reviews came from people who 1) had a small job and whose project was timed correctly by Lee, or 2) relatives of him. I cannot recommend him for anything at all. Horrible, just horrible. I plan on reporting him to the BBB. read more

Hired them a third time but unfortunately they weren't as reliable this year. Lee had his assistants do most of the work as he couldn't be onsite the entire time. They worked fast, they removed a permanent mirror from the bedroom wall and evened out the area well, and they were great at protecting the space and furniture, and did a great job cleaning up after. However, the final quality of the paint job just wasn't there this time. The paint they used seemed thin and some areas were unevenly painted. It's unfortunate as I really liked using them. I might use them again in the future if I need painters, but will provide my own paint and make sure everything is executed well before signing off on the service. read more

Lee's painting is professional and superb. They arrive at 7:45 every day punctually and work the whole day through and do a thorough job. They are the most professional painters I have ever had and charge reasonable rates. I highly recommend them. read more

He gave a quote within 1 day and started painting that same day. The price quoted was very reasonable, and the quality of the work was very high. I am very happy that we went with Lee's Painting, and I definitely will not hesitate to call him for future jobs if I'm anywhere in the SGV. read more

You can relax. You have found your painting contractor. As for your plumber, carpenter....well you're on your own there. But this is the company you want to paint your place. Call his cell because Mr Lee is so busy that it's the quickest way to reach him. He will come by to give you an estimate within one day. This man is the definition of consummate professional. His estimate is broken down explaining each phase of the job and the cost combined to make the total price. His inspection of the job was thorough . He noticed where we had new texture applied and primed those areas. He recommended different paints for specific rooms and his knowledge reflects his experience. His bid was substantially lower than the guys who came, looked around, said they would caulk the trim (which was already done !) and then gave a ridiculously high verbal quote. The job is beautiful. They covered every surface and moved all the furniture and finished when they said they would. Now if everything in life were this easy. read more
