We've worked with Neil and his team on two separate projects now, and I can confidently say we wouldn't go with anyone else. About two years ago, Neil painted our house and completely transformed it. To this day, I still catch myself smiling every time I pull into the driveway. From our very first meeting, he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, especially when it came to guiding us on paint color. His input made a huge difference, and the end result exceeded our expectations. His team worked quickly and efficiently, and what really stood out was their follow-through. When a few touch-ups were needed, they came back without hesitation, which we truly appreciated. More recently, we had Neil's team paint our deck, and once again, they did an amazing job. They were so patient as we finalized the color, and the finished product looks fantastic. Neil runs a top-notch business. His pricing is fair, his team is professional and kind, and the quality of work is outstanding. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Nick and Cesar were so conscientious, given that we were at home while they painted. The team filled every hole and removed and reinstalled all the house fixtures, some better than before. We couldn't be happier. And it was a nice touch that, before they finished, Neil did a walkthrough to mark anything he saw, and they asked me to do the same. Then they touched up all those spots. We highly recommend! read more

Neil Cudden Paining recently completed the painting of our house. There are 13 doors and 98 windows, ship lap siding, two stories. A big job. The prep work was thorough. All repairs were primed. Then two coats of paint. The house looks great. the areas repaired blend with the rest of the surface. I will definitely contact them again for our next painting project. read more

Neil had a staff member, Charlie do all of the work. Despite returning many times, the paint continues to crack and bubble at the front of the house. Neil has always been kind and understanding, but the staff member under taking the job's care declined with each visit. They had a day laborer assist on the initial prep work, using techniques to prep that even the staff member questioned, however they have kept repainting this area over rather than prepping it properly, and so that paint just gets damaged again immediately. Some parts were sanded but never painted at all. Photos are at 10 months post job, after around 4 returns to fix concerns. On the last visit, they also scratched up all the front paint of the house on an non-repainted section and never let us know they were done/leaving so we could check what was done. read more

Neil Cudden is a delightful business owner, enjoyable, communicative and responsive. He came over and took a look at our project and had a competitive estimate in my email box within an hour of returning to his office. Neil has a warm style, a good a sense of humor and you can tell he wants to do right by his customers. Having a painting contractor also perform the siding repair was invaluable since we'd gotten conflicting views on what needed to be done by other painters who did not do siding. Having one crew perform both was an excellent solution! Neil's crew did an outstanding job replacing only the necessary siding, prepping to the max some problem areas and painting the exterior of our house. The finished job looks fantastic. His team, Charlie, Nick and Cesar, were equally as wonderful as Neil. They were punctual (early or on time every morning), hardworking, highly skilled, quiet, polite and just an overall pleasure to have around. They cleaned up at the end of every day, so any clutter was minimal. Their prep work was meticulous, and they showed great care throughout the project. They were always upbeat and pleasant. Charlie, specifically, is an exceptional communicator. We had many questions, and he was always happy to explain everything clearly and never acted impatient with us. His understanding that it was our house and, of course, we would be particular, represented a quality, concern and warmth we much appreciated. So we highly recommended Neil Cudden Painting, based on our experience, for your painting and siding repair needs. Overall an excellent job, and good people to have around the house for 10 days, in fact, we miss them already! read more

Neil's crew did a great job and I'm very satisfied with the result. They work hard. He's also a likeable guy.

Neil and his team repainted the entire interior of my townhouse and did an impeccable job! The job also included drywall repair and some molding work repair due to recent electrical work. The final product was a seamless repair! Neil responded promptly to my inquiry, was very flexible with work date scheduling, attended to all my requests and completed the job on time. Charley was great!! He also provided helpful comments when I was a bit indecisive about choosing between my large color samples on the walls!! Highly recommend NCP!! read more

Great paint job...whole exterior, atrium, and living room. Good value, no surprises, really nice and thoughtful crew. read more

We hired Neil Cudden to paint our house exterior and we couldn't be more pleased. His team of painters, and especially Charly, the team manager, were wonderful. They did an excellent job on all stages of the job. The prep was done thoroughly and carefully, repairing a couple of places that had some dry rot and also caulking and filling gaps as needed. I was a professional painter in a previous career and still I couldn't find any places that they'd missed! They didn't rush the job - postponing spraying when it was too breezy and waiting for the afternoon when the day was a bit damp in the morning. They really cared about doing the job well and having us be happy with their work. Really impressive. And they are so nice and so easy to have around. Neil's team kept everything so clean, you could hardly tell that they'd been there. Also, I was really concerned about the garden plants near the house getting damaged and not a single one was! They were really careful and conscientious but also efficient with their time. Another thing we appreciated was that they gave great advice when we were choosing the colors and we absolutely love the new look. And to top it off, they were really reasonably priced. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat and will look forward to having them back in the future. read more

FIVE STARS FOR NEIL AND HIS CREW!! Having some extra cash from not traveling or doing much entertainment-wise during the pandemic, we decided to get our house painted. Neil Cudden Painting was one of the couple of painters who gave us a quote. Though not the cheapest, the price was reasonable and Neil was a nice guy. We went with Neil and scheduled our paint job. The crew started on a Tuesday and finished up on Saturday. Amazing job done by Mike and his crew! Our house looks brand new. The crew really cared about the job they did. They'd paid special attention to the areas where there was foliage. The best part is that they weren't noisy or at all intrusive. Just painters who came to work! Thank you Neil, Mike and crew for making our house shiny new! I'll be getting in touch for interior painting next! read more

Neil and his crew, especially Charlie, have painted the entire inside of our recently purchased home in Sonoma. The work is excellent and he and his team are the most reliable tradesmen that we have used, always on time and happy to go the extra mile to make us happy: plus they are really nice people! read more

Neil did a great job painting the exterior of our home! What an improvement. He was very easy to work with, gave me a great quote and was super responsive. He also finished ahead of schedule despite doing the job totally by himself. Thank you Neil! read more

Neil Cudden Painting are excellent and detailed painters. Neil responded promptly to my request for a bid and we were fortunate they could start the next day to paint one of our bathrooms. One of the walls in the bathroom was painted black which requires an advanced level of painting expertise, and they did not disappoint. It is perfect! Nicholas also did a fantastic job painting a vanity. I was very pleased with how organized and careful he was to keep everything covered and clean. read more

Neil and his crew Nicolas did a fantastic job staining exterior decks and stairs. Very pleased and highly recommend

Neil and his crew did an outstanding job. We will definitely ask them to return when we are ready for the next project.

From beginning to end, Neil and his crew were a delight to work with. Starting with a prompt reply to a request for an estimate, though the final walkthrough and attention to detail and satisfaction, Neil and team earned every star of this review. Highly recommended! read more

Neil Cudden Painting - Neils team handled every nook and tight spot in our home with ease. - Painters Near Me - Petaluma, California

We had the exterior of our house (including some dryrot repair) and back deck repainted, as well as some paint-touch ups inside as well, and the work was all excellent. Neil is a good communicator (and for example, he reliably responded by text), and his crew were good painters, reliable, professional, and hardworking. We had considerable dryrot on our 2 chimneys that they repaired without delay with great result. The crew leader Charly was also excellent in daily on-site communication with us about progress and process, and showed us how he was doing things, while taking us on "walk-arounds" to be sure we were happy with the results. The 2 small areas of interior wall painting was equally excellent, including careful prepping and color-matching. We were especially impressed with how perfect the touch-up white paint on our kitchen cabinets came out, with perfect color match and no sign or paint lines! The back deck was repainted with a grey deck finish and came out looking like new. They also closed with a good clean up job. We would definitely use them again. They provided excellent service and value for the cost, and we highly recommend them. read more

As others have said, the best thing Neil ever did was to hire Nick. He and Antonio did a great job on our 150 year old Victorian in SF. It took a little longer than the original estimate because we found some serious dry rot 30' up -- the kind of thing you don't find until you put up the scaffolding. Nick and Neil took care of it. Neil had to do some searching to find the right moulding, but it looks pretty good up there. Thanks, guys. Price was good. Follow up and follow through were good. Pleasant experience in every way. read more

I interviewed twelve painters -- six on the phone and six in person. Neil was the last person I interviewed. Neil sent Nick who was a master craftsman and an absolutely lovely human being. Neil and Nick were easy to work with, and I can honestly say that in the decades we have been in this home we have never had a better experience with people working here. The price was very reasonable and the paint job on our century-old home was absolutely masterful. The porch and rails were hand painted so perfectly that I was and am stunned by the work. Don't waste your time interviewing anyone else! read more

WHERE IS THE 6 STAR RATING?? Working with Neil was an amazing experience. He was extremely professional and detail oriented. We wanted to lighten up or dining/living room, kitchen, and stairwell. He helped us pick a color and was finished with the job during the timeframe that he had originally told us. I would highly recommend Neil Cudding Painting to anyone who wants a painting job done right, on time, and for a fair price. read more

Neil Cudden Painting just finished painting the exterior of my house in San Rafael. He and his crew were precise, had excellent workmanship, and very reasonable. I couldn't recommend him enough. It took me 23 years to have my house repainted. Now, thanks to Neil Cudden, it's the star of my street! read more

Neil and his team did a first class job painting our house, garage and home office. Their price was reasonable (we got five bids, and they were slap bang in the middle) the work was carried out carefully, and on time. We couldn't be happier with the job they did. read more

Neil and his crew painting a few decks, balconies and our gate. They have the attention to detail that you look for in good painters. I plan to use Neil for other projects in the future. read more

Summary: My wife & I hired Neil Cudden Painting to paint the interior walls, stairway banister, and baseboards in our home. The team wrapped up the job on March 12 and the house looks terrific. The whole process from bid to completion took less than a month. The price was fair, the quality excellent, and the rate quoted was the rate billed. Very satisfied - highly recommended! Some Details: Jimmie the Operations Manager was on-time for the appraisal visit and Neil was prompt emailing the quote a day later. I got bids from 3 different highly-rated painting services. Neil Cudden Painting was the low bid. We went with NCP because of the price, their solid Yelp reviews, and because they're local here in Daly City. Their pricing was all-inclusive: labor, paint, and materials like brushes & rollers, tarps, tape, etc. The painting started about 2 weeks later and took a little over a week to complete. The team (Jimmie with Paul and Trey) worked from 8am to 4pm M-F; they were punctual both start and finish. All 3 were on site the first day only; there was one or two painters on site the rest of the job. All NCP painters were personable and professional, quick to answer my questions and also quick to oblige a few minor requests. They did a really good job of cleaning up and storing their materials out of the living areas at the end of the day and over the weekend. Their standards were a bit higher than mine. I thought the walls looked passable after two coats but they were right, it looked fantastic after three coats (the original horrible yellow color was a monster to cover with a whiter paint - we went with Benjamin Moore's "Distant Gray" which I think looks very elegant). I'm really glad we hired professionals rather than me doing it myself. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. They deserve it. read more

Absolutely, unbelievable service and quality! Neil is a just a great guy, so it was lovely to deal with him. Found and contacted him via Yelp and along with three other painters. Neil's quote was extremely competitive. We were waiting for a HELOC to fund to pay for our house painting and had to re-schedule; Neil was very accommodating, which I'm sure was difficult during what was a very busy time for him. Painters Mike and Nick were total pros! Our house is a 1943 bungalow that has been added on to in a million different ways AND it was BARN RED, so it was not an easy job! They power sprayed, prepped, and painted with great attention to detail. My jerk of a neighbor rebuilt his fence within a foot of our house, so we were convinced that portions of that side would not be able to be painted! We were wrong! The guys got it done and it looked great! I was stunned! In addition, they gracefully endured our yappy dogs, we're very friendly, and super clean, tidying up each day when they left. I can't say enough good things about Neil Cudden Painting and HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Neil is a dream!! I'm so glad I found him! He got me a totally fair estimate, booked a time to paint, and sent me a deposit invoice all within about 24 hours of our first meeting. Done and done no hassle no bullshit super simple. To top it off, he's human and has an awesome personality. Neil is super professional, really good at his craft, and gets the job done. He and his team went above and beyond on a small touchup job for a 1 bedroom 900 square foot beach shack that didn't quite get painted right the first time around. I'm pretty much hiring Neil for life. He's the best of the best. Thank you so much Neil! read more

Neil Cudden Painting did an excellent job painting our house, garage and home office. Their price was reasonable and they completed the job on budget and within the agreed timeframe. Neil and his team are personable, approachable and professional. In addition to making everything look great, his team's and Neil's own involvement in the project left us feeling happy and highly satisfied. Plus our plants around the building were treated well and not stepped on. We will definitely use Neil Cudden Painting for any future need and will recommend him to friends. read more

I had an exterior paint project and scheduled an meeting with Neil. He showed up on time for the initial meeting and within one hour after leaving, the estimate was waiting in my inbox. His estimate included all necessary supplies and even though there were a couple of obstacles during the project, he took care of everything without adding to the cost. His team did a great job making sure all my window frames and stucco cracks were sealed to prevent any future water damage. 3 days into the project, they hadn't gotten around to the windows yet, but a storm was coming and I had a couple of leaky windows. I really appreciate the fact that they made sure to seal them before they left for the day. When the project was completed, they took all their trash and left me with plenty of extra paint. I highly recommend Neil Cudden Painting! read more

Neil painted our home exterior and we are thoroughly pleased with everything about the experience! The house looks great and we found Neil to be professional, conscientious, and did a top quality "make-over." read more

Total crook. Do not hire this man, he is a fraud. He came to my house, gave us a quote that we were happy with and seemed a nice guy. It took longer than normal to book him though as he wouldn't return messages, and when he finally did, he said a mentally ill relative had slowed him down. The intended job included power washing the exterior of our house before painting, which is absolutely standard for any paint job. His plan was to show up with a helper and use his own power washing equipment, also standard. First he cancelled the appointment the day of, saying his power washer was broken. So we rescheduled, and when he arrived, he had no equipment and no helper. He actually proceeded to try to hose down our house with our own garden hoses. Hosing a house down does not prepare it for painting, there were dirt and cobwebs left everywhere. When I called him to complain, he made up a story about how he had intended to do a second power washing all along...which was never the case. I fired him and asked for my $1900 deposit back, which he said he'd put in the mail right away. He didn't. The money was never returned. Now I'm going to work with the contractors licensing board and the bbb to shut him down. read more

Fantastic customer service and quality work! I used Neil Cudden to paint my 90's kitchen wood cabinets, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Neil was super responsive, professional, and even took the time to help us with our color selection. I definitely recommend to anyone interested. We look forward to having Neil and his team back for future projects! read more

I highly recommend Neil Cudden Painting for all of your painting needs. We hired Neil for an exterior paint job. He promptly provided a quote for the job (very reasonable) and timing for when they could start (also very reasonable). During the job, Neil was professional, personable, reliable, and communicated clearly each step of the way. They did an incredible job prepping the home (it needed a lot of TLC). He even repaired some minor issues that they found during the prep work. His attention to detail was superb and he did a top notch, high quality job! It looks like a brand new house! Thanks Neil! read more

Final review: The paint job was completed this week. Mom is happy with the outcome. Thanks Neil Cudden Painting. Okay, so the post below is pending. After sending a message via the estimate request on the company website, I received an email that they had a medical emergency, were out of the country and were unable to access their voicemail. The job will be completed upon their return next week. Will update the post when the job is completed. "Really disappointed. My mom, who 83 yrs old, had the outside of her house painted and a bathroom painted by Neil Cudden Painting. The outside required a second coat on the trim and the bathroom required a second coat mostly on the trim and a few other places. No biggie. Their guy was scheduled to come back a week ago tomorrow to complete the outside and never showed. No calls about the no show, nothing. She's called four times since and has not received a call back. Would never recommend this company." read more

I had a positive experience hiring Neil to paint the exterior of my home recently. He was reliable, friendly, responsible, and communicated well. He was well priced, and still prepped everything properly and did a great job. I would not hesitate to hire Neil again or to recommend him to a friend. read more

Met Neil after he did a neighbor's house we liked.. He gave us an estimate. That was earlier this year and we had to keep postponing because of the weather. Finally we were able to schedule our job in July. We had several trouble spots needing extra attention including weathered wood, mildewed gutters, some stucco joint separation beneath a deck and along the foundation and some small stucco cracks; a previously poorly finished front door with rough surface and uneven lines around garage doors where some previous work brought stucco up over wood frames. Neil's crew was able to solve all the issues to our satisfaction. The stucco work was clean as was cosmetic work on rough deck issues. The garage door lines were cut clear and straightened. Neil's lead crewman Mike was able to power sand the rough front door (after one coat failed to smooth out old brush strokes. Halfway through the job we realized the color we had chosen for the whole house wasn't as appealing ax we had hoped. We halted painting until we could find.a snappier second color for the lower part of our split level. Neil was courteous and totally accommodating. We negotiated the additional cost of paint and labor and the work continued. The finished job is beautiful. And to top it off, Mike reduced by half the negotiated labor charge on the repainted portions for the new color. We are delighted with the project, the careful prep, painting and all the detail Work. Great attitude, great work, great price. read more

I recently used Celtic Painting company and found them to be terrific. Neil along with his team took great pride in their work and no detail was overlooked. For the scope of work completed I really think that I got great value for money. Neil completed the work in a timely and efficient manner which was great because my wife and I needed the work to be completed quickly without sacrificing quality. We plan on remodeling our basement this summer and are looking forward to hiring Celtic Painting again because we know that it will be done correctly without costing an arm and a leg. I would have no reservations in recommending Celtic Painting to anyone looking for quality work done at a very reasonable price. read more

Neil painted many rooms in the interior and also the exterior of our house. He did a fantastic job. He provided good insight into what colors to choose and what paint to use. He was very reliable, showing up consistently, each day and always communicating when he wouldn't be available. The house was long overdue to be painted and we're delighted with how things look now. I'd highly recommend Neil for any painting job. read more
