Couldn't speak more highly of Myron and Olson's Painting. Professional, Responsive, respectful, the bid was competitive and detailed. Myron is very easy to communicate and work with. The workers on site were kind and courteous and worked hard. They were very thorough, very clean and the work is immaculate. Now that I've worked with Olson's Painting, I wouldn't go with any other painters!!! Call them! read more

Olson's Painting just finished painting the exterior of my home. I am so pleased with the finished product. I too agree with other reviewers as to the integrity, expertise and professionalism of Myron and his staff. So hardworking. This is the third time I have had this old house painted -- by far this is the best. The house has tons of windows with a stucco exterior. The painters did an amazing job with the prep work. BTW, I had three estimates before choosing Olson's Painting and they were the most reasonable and detailed oriented. If you are looking for quality painting, I highly recommend Olson's Painting. read more

I can't say enough good stuff about Myron and his crew. I don't know where Alexis is coming from because precise work and attention to detail seem to be Olson's specialties. My next door neighbor hired him as soon as he saw my house. Myron thinks that I got him the job next door but I didn't - he did by doing a great job. The crew was clean and unobtrusive. I gave each of the men a generous tip I was so happy with the work. read more

This project went extremely well and our house looks amazing. Olson's painting was a pleasure to work with. Our home needed exterior paint repair, deck cleaning and sealing, and window repair. I contacted Olson's Painting and they responded promptly and we were able to schedule the initial walk through quickly. Myron Olson was incredibly helpful throughout the project and delivered everything from quote to invoice on time, accurate, and of high quality. The work was performed on schedule, and within the time estimate provided. Any new information found during the project was promptly communicated to me. The project team was professional and kept all areas clean. I highly recommend Olson's painting and will be using them for my future projects. read more

It was such a pleasure to work with Myron Olson and his crew. They did a wonderful job every step of the way. They were very flexible with me as I juggled having new windows installed with their painting work. They helped me fine-tune the color of the paint I had chosen by suggesting a custom mix. They pointed out some issues that needed to be addressed in order for the painting to be as successful as possible. And they cheerfully helped with a couple jobs (replacing a door and a gate) outside the original scope (for a very fair additional hourly fee). Myron always responded promptly to my emails. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to others. read more

I received several quotes from local painters in Alameda and not only did Myron give me a very competitive bid, his painters did an excellent job. I was a little nervous as Myron himself gave me the initial bid but let me know before the paint day that he would not be there, and would be sending his foreman for the job. His painters were thorough and did a superb paint job on our high-ceiling living room interior. I would use them again as well as recommend them! read more

I had an estimate appointment 2 weeks ago Thursday and never heard back. No estimate, no call, no email no nothing. Clearly they didn't want my business or money. Very disappointed. I like to use local companies in Alameda and will absolutely not recommend this company!! read more

Our house doubled in value after Olson's crew painted it. Can't say they're solely responsible, but it certainly didn't hurt.

Top notch, in every way. Meticulous in detail, from the prep to the painting, to the attention to detail to the daily organization and accountability. Hard working, kind people. Can't say enough about them...except thank you. read more

Myron and his crew were fantastic to work with. They were methodical, tidy and courteous. Have recommended them numerous times. They painted the exterior of our home in 4+ colors. Combo of new cedar shingles, siding, lots of wood porch trim. Olson's bid was very competitive with 2 other bids but he seemed to have the most expert knowledge. read more

We contracted Olson's Painting to seal and paint 6 new, custom built windows. Omar and Carlos did and extraordinary job. As part of the contract they repaired cracks in the exterior stucco and caulked and painted the smaller windows. After we realized the original stucco color could not be matched we decided to have the entire house painted a new color. Again, Omar and Carlos did great work. They arrive on time, are neat (fastidious!), and the results speak for themselves. We recommend Olson's Painting without hesitation! read more

Olson's painting recently did an interior paint job for our lovely old house and we were very impressed with their work. Myron took a little longer than other companies to provide the estimate, but when it came in, it was very reasonable and incredibly detailed. There were were no misunderstandings during the entire two week project, and the estimate was spot on. His team was very professional and it was wonderful to trust that the project was in good hands, especially since I wasn't available during the day for questions. Not only did they do a great job with the painting, but they also stripped and refinished the wood trim and paneling in our living room and dining room. It was such a hard job but the team was really nice about it - it was clear that they respect their craft and the value of restoring old homes. In short - great quality work and very professional. I'd use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Myron and company were excellent! Very competetive rates, thoughtful guidance with respect to prep-work and repairs (they won't paint over problems you need to deal with.) The color consultation reference was very helpful. The crew is very neat and always on time. It 's wonderful not to have the ugly-betty house on the block anymore! Thanks guys! read more

Professional, committed to excellence, fairly priced and a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough about my experience with Myron Olson and his employees. We had the entire inside of our house painted - walls, ceilings and trim combined. They did everything they could to make the experience convenient and comfortable for me and my family. The house looks great too! read more

Myron and his team were professional, courteous, and hard-working. They painted most of the upstairs of our house and were flexible when I changed my mind midway about the paint colors. They did a perfect job; the walls and trim look great. I will certainly call them again when I need the pros. The only place I saw room for improvement was the scheduling -- it was a bit hard to get them to lock down a date to start, and then they moved it at the last minute. But once they got here, all went very well. read more

Myron's crew did two 1870's Victorians Front exterior, and one of the units inside. They had to do some significant repair work due to earlier paint jobs not being done well. The job was not trivial. As the owner, I think they did an excellent job. Technically, he did all the right things--including the best paints and primers and procedures. They were careful to cover everything everyday--including cars parked nearby on the street. That required lots of extra tarps and plastic sheeting. They also were meticulous about cleaning up every day Life is not perfect, and not everything goes off without a hitch. All stuck doors ( from 130 years of paint jobs), and windows were unstuck, and planed. Minor things like some paint on a window and a broken door bell ( breaks every year or so anyway--due to location ) were promptly repaired when noted.. And the scaffolding company forgot to pick up some of the pieces after the job ( They came back and got them, when notified). I noticed that one of my tenants wrote a negative review-and was inconvenienced by us having a painter at the buildings for 4 weeks. The minor problems noted were all fixed promptly when noted. I highly recommend Myron Olson and his people--And this is after having had at least two other contractors paint houses for me in San Francisco in the last 5 years. I will definitely use him again--- And the places look spectacular. I have watched at least 20 people stop and take pictures of the houses..... read more

Myron Olson is terrific. He has painted both the interior and exterior of my home. His crew is always on time, efficient, courteous and tidy. Myron is very professional and always meets his deadline and budget. I hight recommend him. read more

Olson's Painting came highly recommended. Upon meeting Myron Olson I felt that I had chosen the right company for the job. I originally contracted with Olson's Painting in October but the weather was uncooperative. Once the weather had cleared, Myron's crew began the work. Along the way some problems were discovered and Myron offered to fix them at a reasonable price. There was also a problem that occurred during the power wash portion of the job. A couple of windows were not sealed by a crew member and water came in a room. Two walls were affected by water running down inside of the plaster. Myron inspected the problem and put a crew member to repairing the walls, no extra charge incurred. After the job was done I did a final inspection and found some work that had not been completed. After informing Myron, he had a crew member there within two days and the work was done. The problem I have with Olson's Painting is that there is still work not done that I had not noticed during the final inspection. Along with that I have found a couple of places that were painted but the paint is already chipped off. Myron told me that he stands by his work when we first met. Now that the work is done and the bill has been paid I have asked Myron to follow through on his guarantee. It has been three weeks since I contacted Myron and I have not heard back from him. I would not recommend Olson's Painting since they do not stand behind their work. Very responsive when they have not been paid. Once the bill is paid, good luck. read more

We have worked with Olson's Painting (Alameda) for two interior projects over the past 2 years. They have always been extremely professional, schedule conscious, and make the extra effort to be helpful. If we were told that the crews would arrive at 8am in the morning, they would arrive at 8am. During both jobs, the crews cleaned up every day and made sure that equipment was put away. This was especially important during the preparation period when they sanded - they would vacuum sanding residue and chipped paint. On the last project, they used an environmentally friendly paint which we greatly appreciated. It was very noticeable how much less of a smell it left when applied. Once our projects were completed, not only did they complete touch-ups where needed and/or requested, they cleaned behind our appliances before replacing them, cleaned our fan blades prior to reassembling them, and put back our furniture. They even replaced some dry-rot found around one of our windows prior to painting - it was finished off very nicely and worked better than before. The owner, Myron Olson, makes sure that as his customer, you are happy and that your expectations are met. read more

I couldn't have been happier with the work done by Myron Olson and his crew this summer when they painted the entire interior of my new home. Since we had a relatively short time between the close of escrow and our move-in date, there was a lot of pressure on Myron to complete a big job on time at a high standard. (I can be fairly exacting, as my husband would tell you.) But he and his wonderful team of painters did so and had the house ready -- and looking spectacular -- by move-in day. They did a masterful job with all of the prep work; they applied the wall and trim color so evenly and smoothly; and they were unbelievably careful in taping up the windows and light fixtures. There was not a single errant drop of paint due to carelessness. Overall, I was deeply appreciative of both their professional competence and their tidiness. Myron was easy to communicate with, very upfront about costs, and reasonably priced. The foreman of the crew (who was related to most of the other painters) was also wonderful. A true mensch. (If you don't know what this Yiddish word means, look it up! It's a good one.) Would I use Olson's Painting again? In a heartbeat. read more
