When I moved back into my childhood home after it had been used as a rental property for nearly 30 years, it was, quite frankly, the eyesore of the block. Very little had been updated over the years, tenants had painted rooms in some truly questionable colors, and there was even original wallpaper still hanging in the dining room. I hired Luis and the team at Labato Painting to paint the interior, and from the moment they started, I knew I had made the right decision. The transformation was remarkable. Once the walls were completed, it became obvious that the beautiful Craftsman woodwork throughout the house deserved attention as well. Luis and his crew carefully restored it, buffing, staining, and varnishing the wood to bring it back to life. The results were absolutely stunning. As often happens with home improvement projects, one thing led to another. Seeing how beautiful the interior looked made me realize the exterior needed the same level of care, so I hired Labato Painting to paint the outside of the house as well. Along the way, I decided to install a new kitchen floor, and Luis and his team handled that project flawlessly too. Luis, Jesus, Augustine, and Leo were all a pleasure to work with--professional, respectful, hardworking, and incredibly considerate of both my space and my time. Leo also repaired and refinished my chimney exterior, which now looks fantastic. The final result exceeded every expectation I had. My neighbors frequently comment on how beautiful the house looks and have jokingly dubbed it "the star house" of the neighborhood. Several friends have asked for Luis's contact information, and many have since hired him for projects of their own. I couldn't be happier with the work Labato Painting performed. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and detail-oriented painting contractor, I recommend Luis and his team without hesitation. read more

Luis and Leo did a phenomenal job on various projects around my house. We had a demolished bookshelf and holes to fill in after electrical work. They put Sheetrock around the bookshelf to disguise the pipes in a smaller and more attractive way and painted on top, and even did the hardwood floor patching too. They patched up all the electrical holes perfectly and it's impossible to notice where they were. I was so happy with their services and grateful they helped out so much. They were clean, responsive, quickly available, and professional. I will definitely be using them for future projects. Thank you so much! read more

These guys really are the best! Our 1936 house badly needed exterior paint - Luis's quote was reasonable and very thoroughly explained so we knew what the cost covered. Turned out they did WAY more than quoted for - there were several places where elderly siding was rotted through, only hidden by the cosmetic paint from the previous owner. The Lobato crew fixed EVERYTHING, at very reasonable additional charge. The work itself is excellent - careful and precise and tidy. They tidied up every day, and at the end they thoroughly cleaned EVERYTHING. I recommend them 110% and would hire them again in a heartbeat if I needed ANY work done. You simply can't go wrong with these guys, they are the best in every way. read more

Luis and his team did a fantastic job on my vintage Victorian home: not only fixing a number of flaws in the woodwork but meticulously painting with five different colors to achieve the perfect balance of color and trim. Every step of the process was clearly outlined, his team was hardworking, punctual, neat and, most importantly, respectful of the neighbors. There were no surprises and the work was done in a timely manner. I would gladly recommend Lobato Painting to anyone looking for quality and professionalism! read more

Luis expertly sanded them smooth and applied two finishing coats. After adding knobs and pulls, the cabinets look new. Luis and his crew are extremely responsible. They give fair bids and follow them through. He has done two jobs for me, and the site is always clean and orderly. I recommend him highly. read more

Our experience with Lobato Painting was outstanding. Luis met with us at the beginning of the process in March 2025 and looked carefully at our exterior painting job. He thoroughly explained how they would paint our house and patiently answered all our questions, so we felt comfortable working with him. We got 3 bids and his was the lowest, which sealed the deal. This was a big job, because our 85-year-old house had not been properly sealed from the outside for many years, which led to water penetration when it rained. Luis and his crew, Leo and Feliciano, carefully went over every inch of our house and inspected the siding and stucco, finding areas where wood needed to be replaced, and stucco had to be removed. It took them 2 weeks to prep and repair the house, which we were grateful for. Painting took one additional week, so it was a 3-week job. They did an outstanding job of making sure every crack was sealed and the siding was smooth prior to painting. Now when it rains, we don't have any leakage into our house, and we feel confident in the job that was done. We are also pleased with the smooth look of the paint on our siding. We added several extra jobs during the process which Luis handled fairly, professionally, without objection and for a reasonable cost. In fact, he took care of many extra items for no charge. Others might have charged more or refused to do these extra jobs, but not Luis, that is just the kind of person he is. His crew even adjusted their work schedule to make sure they were quiet during our toddler's naptime every day. We liked Lobato so much that we had them paint our daughter's bedroom one month later. You will not go wrong with Luis and his team. They have the admirable characteristics of patience, kindness and politeness and a very strong work ethic. We became friends during the whole process, and we would hire them again for painting and minor repairs. read more

You won't find any bad reviews here with Luis and crew because I doubt there would be any. They are honest, straight -forward, good prices, on time, don't nickel and dime you, give you clear estimates, jobs start fairly quickly after an estimate, and everything is hassle free. We have used Luis and his crew at least three times. Seriously, no need to look elsewhere. read more

Luis and his crew transformed my two bedrooms from all beige/faux textured walls and ceilings to absolutely beautiful spaces. They smoothed walls and ceilings, and painted with my color choices. They also painted the trims and doors. My rooms are so beautiful now and the work was excellent. Luis communicated with me the entire process, and made sure the work was completed to my approval. Not only are they a local small business, but the estimate was accurate and affordable. I will definitely call Lobato Painting again for future projects, and highly recommend them!!! read more

I hired Lobato Painting to paint the interior of my Mom's 3 story Victorian house in Ashbury Heights. The house hadn't been painted in 30 years, and the crew had to steam off wallpaper. It was an enormous project. I interviewed Luis and he showed me pictures of some of his previous jobs. I was impressed and felt confident in his abilities. But I was astounded at the diligence and skill of his entire crew. They showed up every day on time and put in 200% effort. They helped with tasks that were outside of the scope of the project, and the finished project was impeccable. Amazing attention to detail and pride in their work product. And the price was incredibly reasonable. I was really lucky to find a painting contractor like Luis who is so competent and trustworthy!! Five gold stars!!! read more
