It's been over a decade since my last review of Pacific Coast so I'm due for another! While I haven't posted recently, we've been clients of this company for three major projects now - the most recent being in July 2026 where owner Dave Shapiro and his team painted our entire house, inside and out, including a deck. They did a fantastic job. They were meticulous with their prep work, making sure to scrape peeling paint, patch walls, clean, and power-wash where needed. They matched colors perfectly and painted our 1920s single family home until it looks brand new. Dave even completed extra work and painted the detached garage because he thought it needed sprucing up too. We were amazed and beyond grateful! Dave and his team have always met and exceeded expectations, which is why we come back time and again. Dave's prices are also fair and reasonable. No upsells or going over budget, and they work fast. The project took two weeks. If you're looking for someone, who is pragmatic and reliable, licensed and insured, to paint your home, look no further! Dave and his team are for you. Call to schedule a time as Dave and his crew can get busy! Highly recommend. read more

My house needed painting, and I was all set to go with the company I had previously used. However, I decided to use due diligence and get a couple other quotes. Am I glad I did! Dave came to my house and presented me with a quote promptly. His bid was the least expensive of the three I received, and included more: a five year guarantee and primer on the entire house. He put several sample colors on the house so I could choose, and once I did, work commenced. He has a crew of five who were at my house by 7:45 each morning. They were very quiet, friendly, and neat. I was impressed with the thoroughness of their prep work-sanding, scraping, replacing bits of trim that needed it, and such. They painted with rollers, so I feel my house was well covered with paint. (And my neighbors were relieved they didn't have to worry about spray!) My deck had been looking pretty sorry, but after they washed, sanded, and stained it, it looks brand new! I expanded the job, and asked for something not included in the original bid, and Dave accommodated me, leaving two guys to finish while the rest of his crew went to start their next job. I am so glad I chose Pacific Coast and am sure you will be happy, too. One of the best things: Dave's crew washed all of my exterior windows! I have a two story house, so that is a big deal! read more

Dave was great to work with. He had everything set up, showed up on time, prepped and answered all our questions promptly. His crew worked hard and is friendly. We would recommend Pacific Coast Painting highly. read more

We have used pacific coast painting in the past for exterior and interior painting this time Not only did Dave and his team do an outstanding job they did it at super short notice we needed just one bedroom painted and they did it with the exact same professionalism that they did our exterior read more

Dave and his crew had painted a house . and was highly recommended by our neighbors. Several pluses include obtaining construction parking permits, renting a toilet for the crew, completely managing the painting and scaffolding permits, and providing informed guidance during color selection. The crew were neat and tidy, masking windows and doors, using drop cloths to minimize clean-up. They were also great with the surface preparation. Their bid was very reasonable and the crew were friendly at all times, even helping with a few bits of clean-up and a small bit of fence repair. Our immediate neighbor hired Dave to repaint an outside wall, and at least four of our neighbors were so impressed with the work that they spoke to Dave about painting their homes! The only minor issue was that Dave was so busy that he had to defer our job for about 4 weeks -- but even that wasn't much of a negative as he kept us fully informed of the project that had ours on hold, and made arrangements for toilet and scaffolding while we waited, so that he was ready to begin with us without any additional delay. If I need a painter, or am asked to recommend one, I will definitely put Pacific Coast Painting and Waterproofing at the top of my list! read more

Our house was in bad need of a paint job. Lots of rotting wood, paint chipping, and lots of cracks all over the place. My neighbor had their home painted by Dave and referred me. He came by the next day to assess the house and give me a quote. Scaffolding came up the following week but it rained a bit. After a week, Miguel and Renee came and began fixing up the house. They powerwashed the house, sealed cracks, and got rid of the blemishes. It took 2 weeks which went by really fast and the two of them did an AMAZING job! They were both pleasant, said good morning and were friendly. Miguel was very kind to make paint color suggestions and asked what colors to use for certain areas like the side door, garage, and front door. I love the way my house looks and have received compliments from a few neighbors already! Dave came to the house to see how things were going and came on the final day to make sure everything was done and remove all the garbage from the job. One thing that I didn't expect is that they had a porto-potty come with them. This in my opinion was pretty awesome because with Covid, I don't really want people inside my house and it was nice to know that they had a clean and convenient place to go. read more

Called this company in early August for a quote, man who answered was rude (he sounded annoyed), said would call back, never did. Lost a customer due to poor customer service! read more

I had my exterior house painted by Pacific Coast Painting. They were very thorough, including waterproofing everything first. Dave and his painting team were professional and detailed. The house looks amazing and the price was very fair. I would definitely recommend them. Five Stars read more

Very congenial, conscientious and experienced pair of workers who Dave entrusted to paint my house. I am very pleased with the results. I could not help but think that with another worker on the job it might have gone faster, but the two guys worked well together and clearly had experience working together - one was agile and was able to easily navigate the somewhat precarious scaffolding and the other handled the tasks closer to the ground and took the time to carefully sand down my weather beaten door before applying primer. Dave and the workers made some excellent suggestions on various aspects of the job. Dave's price was reasonable, I believe, and was less than another quote I got and there were no extras. Most communications with Dave were by email, and it may take a while to understand his somewhat cryptic writing, but he was responsive. I let him know that I really wanted the scaffolding taken down ASAP after the paint job was finished, and Dave was able to make that happen even though he later informed me that it sometimes can take a few days. Not sure when my house will need to be re-painted, but I definitely plan on calling Dave when the time comes. read more

We live a distance away and needed my mom's house painted in SSF. We needed reliable and trustworthy paint contractors, since we could not personally be there. Dave and his team did an excellent job and the house looks so refreshed with new life! Dave also connected us with Gomez Iron Works to have new railings put on the home. He helped above and beyond by meeting with the contractor to get the porch measured and for the installation. read more

I am very pleased with the final outcome and very pleased that I chose to work with Dave over other companies. My house is 100 years old, redwood, and I've never painted a house before. I interviewed four top rated painting companies listed on Yelp. When I bought my house the inspector told me that the seams needed to be scraped clean and waterproofed. The first three companies told me that the house inspector was not a painting expert and that the seams should be left with a gap and that ladders would be sufficient for my two story house. Dave gave me a very different proposal. He said that leaving a gap was for new construction and that my 100 year old redwood needed to be sealed. He encouraged me to pay for scaffolding, stating that his guys would have all day to prep and would be able to do better work in less time. Once the painting process started it was immediately obvious that scaffolding was the only way to properly prep my house. The guys arrived every morning at 8 am and spent the entire day scraping left to right, clearing old calk between the planks and marking every nail and bolt with rust spray. My neighbors mentioned to me that they have never seen a paint company prep this way. Dave also offered to purchase the highest quality paint on the market and apply two coats with primer. What was unexpected was that Dave's team went above and beyond by removing wood from the house that was broken or had dry-rot damage. They spent an entire day cutting wood to replace parts of my front railing, which was of non-uniform measurements and they re-nailed and replaced loose shingles in the back. We went through iterations of detailed touch-ups before the two week job was complete. read more

If they were a respectable company and knew what they were doing they would not have painted other people's property. They painted my fence and did not even apologize. They provided a can of paint so we could repaint our property. Unbelievable! To add, we have our neighbors paint still on our fence, which is mire evident with our cameras. read more

We actually discovered Dave and Pacific Coast Painting through NextDoor.com. and now that we read all the 5 star reviews, of course we wholeheartedly affirm all the best comments many times over. But let me add one more marvelous thing about Dave, Del and his crew.... We have a bird and cat in the house, 2 tortoises in the yard, and a dog that is constantly wanting to go in and out. We allow the cockatiel free to roam the house. Plus, we have 3 nests of baby swallows under the eaves. All the guys were very respectful and also protective of ALL of the critters. Our dog loves them all, and can't wait to go out and get petted. The tortoises never escaped the yard, and the bird never left the house. Oh, and BTW, the exterior of our house is more solid and beautiful than ever. read more

Excellent in every way. Dave, Del and the crew are master painters and we are so happy with their high-quality exterior paint work. They say that that 90% of a good paint job is prep, so we were delighted to see the thorough work the crew did before the painting began. They were also very professional and did their work quickly and cleanly. Both Dave and Del are so kind and responsive, and answer all your millions of questions with a smile. Thanks, guys! read more

My house was in need of a new paint job, because the old paint had deteriorated at a much higher rate than expected. Conditions are pretty harsh in Pacifica, with UV and saltwater spray and fog combining to make for an environment that is not easy on anything. Additionally, window trim had rotted away, and one window needed to be replaced. Dave and his team got it done quickly, in very good quality, and they were very respectful of my property and my neighbor's. Very fair price quoted, and even the time and material add-ons were at a very fair cost. Highly recommended. read more

I admired our neighbor's exterior paint job and found Pacific Coast through their referral. Dave and his crew were professional, friendly, responsible and timely. Everyone on the team was easy to work with and took great care with detail and cleanliness. Just this evening I admired how great and freshly painted our house looks one year after the job. Pacific Coast called unprompted recently to ask if we had touchups for them to complete. I really appreciate this level of commitment to longterm, proactive customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them for exterior paint jobs and will hire them for interior work in the future. read more

Dave is really cool. He and his team worked tirelessly and did an awesome job. He answered all my questions and provided excellent ideas and solutions. Most definitely, I highly recommend him and will hire him for future projects. read more

I have been working with Dave and his crew to paint the exterior of my house in South San Francisco. He responded quickly and professionally when he provided the proposal. Many other contractors did not bother to respond to my questions or provide a formal professional quote. He was able to work around the rain and also provided me with appropriate paint samples. His crew also cleared away and disposed of plants that were close to the house. Just a few things to wrap up this week. The house looks great. I would recommend him and may use him for future work on my home. read more

We had Dave and his team do our exterior painting a few months back , couldnt have been more happy, they were so professional and helpful. helped with colur selections and left the place immaculate when finished We were so happy we booked them to do our interior we had to wait a few months because they were booked but it was worth the wait it feels like brand new home their attention to detail and professionalism is second to none read more

It's Christmas Eve and a little cat named Charlie has been on a roof for almost a whole day with no way to get down in his own safely. But when the call for help was made, Dave came when NO ONE ELSE would help get Charlie home. Well worth every dollar for his help. If Dave is willing to come and help out in Oakland i know that this speaks volumes to the comment of Dave to his work and value of the work. We can't thank you enough again. As a jewelry make he's got something special heading his way. read more

Very, very happy with my newly-painted exterior by Dave Shapiro and crew of Pacific Coast Painting. After living in my coastal home for 17 years it was in need of paint with a lot of prep work to be done. They did an amazing power wash, scraping of the siding, sealing and prepping all the surfaces. They are extremely quick, had set up the needed scaffolding, cleaned up meticulously each day. Dave is responsive to questions, and got back to me with a quote promptly. When I asked for more color choices than was given in the few sample book palettes, he kindly brought me (2) 1000-swatch wands to pick from, and then had larger 8x10 color samples created of my selects for me to make a final decision. He was flexible with my schedule and fit me in when it worked for both of us. Now I just go outside and admire the house. I look forward to having them do some interior painting, next on my list of to-dos. read more

As someone once said on this Yelp page, what more needs to be said in addition to the other 5 star reviews? Probably not a whole lot more, but I think it's important to take the time to write reviews for those who truly are exceptional. If one does a careful search on Google and Yelp, there really are not that many licensed painters, who have consistently good reviews. I interviewed several, and was most impressed with Dave and trusted him the most. He assured me that he was committed to doing everything right and to my satisfaction. That meant much to me. He was the only contractor, who insisted on sealing all of the vertical decorative trim, and there are many such pieces on the house. I asked other contractors about this, and they informed me that this isn't necessary. Dave later explained to me that it's necessary because water may get behind the decorative pieces and cause dry rot. Indeed, to find one such as Dave is rare in any profession. Among other things, he is very detail-oriented and is a perfectionist. I recall him having a traveling filing cabinet with him, which he uses to track all of his jobs. Meticulous people are hard to come by. He's very responsive and takes the time to help choose colors. Because I was having trouble choosing the right colors for the house, he brought various colors of paint and put them on the house. Thus, I could be assured of being happy with the colors that were chosen. Dave will paint your place as if it were his own. He has a dedicated foreman and crew that have been with him for many years. They were a pleasure to work with. I was impressed and glad to see that Dave was so involved with the job. I recall opening the door, and there he was applying sealant. I think one has to be that way if one truly cares about what one is doing. While he has been in the business for many years, he hasn't lost his passion for it. This is more than a business to him. He truly cares about his customers, and is committed to making them happy. I can't say that this is true for others in any other profession. Dave is an exemplar of what it means to be a true professional. Another consideration that I had in mind in hiring Dave's company is that it's capable of performing dry rot repair. Everyone else that I interviewed informed me that this type of work would need to be subcontracted out. I infer that it would cost more to hire a separate company to do this type of work. Fortunately, there was only minimal dry rot repair. As a courtesy, Dave didn't charge me for it. Moreover, he also painted my mailbox and water hose rack as a courtesy. This was a nice touch that I wasn't expecting. They were in need of it and look so much better now. I highly doubt that you'll ever find anyone as honest, dedicated, and meticulous as Dave. You may think that one is just painting a house, but keep in mind that it's a big project, and it's important that it's done right. The last thing one would want is to have to worry about whether it will be done to one's satisfaction. The other issue is that there really is no practical legal remedy that makes sense in terms of time, cost and effort in the event that one is unhappy with a job. During the entire process, I never felt like I had to worry, which is a relief. The added bonus is that I was privileged to meet an exceptional individual. read more

We LOVED our experience with Pacific Coast Painting. Everything is just great! We couldn't be happier. Pacific Coast Painting was first recommended to us by our neighbor, who had them do a lot of work on her house. Her house looked great, so we asked for a recommendation. Dave, from Pacific Coast Painting, is a really reliable guy, who actually cares about the work his people perform. Anytime we had a question, he called us back. Anytime we had an issue, because maybe we didn't like the color we had selected, or something small needed to be adjusted, he was very receptive and helped us solve the problem. We actually asked them to re-paint several spots, not because of the quality of their work, but because we weren't happy with our color selection. They were very flexible and easy to work with. They didn't pressure us, or make us feel like we were a burden. They paid particular attention to our windows, and making sure that the house is "sealed" so that we don't get any water intrusion issues. A HUGE plus in our area. We're happy that we selected Pacific Coast Painting. You can tell the guys know what they're doing, and are true professionals. Their work was performed well, and on time. Not sloppy, not messy. On-time. Very happy. If you're looking for a professional, that has been doing this for a long time. You've GOT to go with Pacific Coast Painting. Our house is the best looking one on the block! Dave is a small business owner, treats his people well, and his customers better. As a local home owner, I absolutely plan on using this company for any and all future painting needs. read more

Pacific Coast Painting Co. highly recommended. I couldn't of found a better Painting Company. Dave, Dell and his crew were exceptional. Professional, attentive, meticulous and understanding.They painted my house, deck and front door in one week. The finish was beautiful! they even cleaned my windows and screens. A great team ! Thumbs Up for a job well done. Thank you Dave and Team. read more

Dave and his Foreman Dellis did a fantastic job on my home. They are very quick, very meticulous and very clean. Great Customer service - Friendly, accommodating, and responsive. Compared to my last paint job, the prep work was much more thorough and detailed. Dave, Dellis, and crew are very professional and knowledgeable about the appropriate materials for the climate in the Sunset. I can't say enough about how great an experience this was compared to my last painter who took forever, left a mess, and stiffed the scaffolding company. Working with Pacific coast was like night and day. You could probably find cheaper companies but it's not worth the headaches. I would highly recommend Dave, my only advice is to be prepared in advance with your color choices and your ideas on how you want the details painted. They are so busy and efficient that this information is needed quickly. I work full time and couldn't be available to answer questions immediately so I took photos with added notes and left them for Dellis every morning and he took care of everything and instructed. read more

Yet once again, Dave and his crew have come through for me and my wife. When we first moved into our new home in May, Dave was able to complete the initial painting work on a tight budget and an even tighter schedule. His work was awesome, completed on time and completed on budget! Recently, we needed Dave to come back and complete some patching and touch-up work that was the result of other contractor's projects in our house. Dave's guys showed up on time, worked miracles on our walls and ceilings, and our house is now back to where it was when Dave first finished his work. Pacific Coast Painting is my "GO TO" painting contractor no matter the size or schedule for the job! They are AWESOME! read more

We needed our old house in SSF painted and called Pacific Coast Painting. I was looking for a company that would take the time to do it right, not just "spray and go" like so many other painters. The house has the original siding so needed a lot of caulking and some dry rot repairs. The paint was peeling and it was in terrible shape. Dave's team came in and knew exactly what to do. They did a lot of prep work and did a beautiful job painting. Everyone in the neighborhood has commented on the nice job they did. They were here everyday on time and worked hard to make things right. I would highly recommend Pacific Coast Painting! read more

Interview a few companies and went with Dave because his solution to my water leakage situation made the most sense. Just finished painting. Crew was nice and detail work. Owner Dave responsive to questions and updates throughout project. Highly recommend and will use again! read more

We really couldn't have been happier with Dave, his team and their work. When we finally closed on our home in Pacifica, we only had a week before our move-in date to remove/repair some walls and have the entire interior painted. We hired a separate contractor for the wall work, gave Dave his phone number, and from that point on we didn't have to worry about a thing. He worked with the contractor to plan the entire undertaking, had his team out there at the appropriate times throughout the process to make the work go super seamlessly, even recommended a stellar dry wall guy to do the patch up work needed on the walls. The paint job was perfect and we arrived to a clean house a day after he finished. Wonderful experience. We can't wait to hire them again to do the exterior! read more

Showed up on time. Dave is knowledgeable and experienced. Once I award contract, will post workmanship and price review.

New paint makes the house look brand new! Working with Dave Shapiro was easy and the crew was thorough. Will keep them in my contacts list.

Couple months back, Dave and crew did interior of my Linda Mar home. Nothing but praises. Understood right away what needed to be done, plenty of wood rot and other issues. Finished on time and most important stayed within quote. Anyone that sees this job says looks great. Anyone that has a clear before and after picture "Looks frickin assume"!! Thanks Dave and crew for your hard work. jr read more

Pacifica Coast Painting painted our 5 unit plaza and I was extremely impressed with the results. Not only did they do a fantastic job, but the crew was professional, the price was very reasonable, the work was done exactly on the time line that was communicated to me upfront, and the quality of workmanship is top notch. I'd definitely recommend this company to anyone, especially for projects on the coast as they understand what's needed to ensure long lasting results. Great work PCP, I'm thrilled with your work! read more

Pacific Coast Painting.....WOW, They are the BEST!!! Dave Shapiro the owner is as honest as they get. You won't find a better painting company, on time, great price, over delivered on the quality workmanship, people on site and everything they did to make my house on Potrero Hill beautiful. I highly recommend Pacific Coast Painting in everyway with small or big jobs, interior or exterior as you won't find a better painting company that will work with you on colors, styling and budget. In all my 27 years living in San Francisco, I highly recommend Dave Shapiro and Pacific Coast Painting as I am happy to be their customer and write this review. You will too so call them (Pacific Coast Painting) today!!! read more

I've been working with Dave since last year at my rental property, there was an aggravating leak into one of the units and we could not figure it out. Dave has been there with me troubleshooting and trying to figure out the problem. I can't say enough about the service I have received from Dave. He is always available when I have a question for him and the paint job he did on my house was top rate. He is honest and straightforward. We don't get down to see our rental very often but the other day we drove by and were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the beautiful job his company did on our house. It looks beautiful and he also added special touches that I would not have thought to do. I would definitely recommend Dave and his crew to anyone and the price, well I don't know what the going rate is for painting and waterproofing but I feel it was a fair price. If you need an honest and reliable painter Dave Shapiro at Pacifice Coast Painting and Waterproofing is your man. read more

Dave and his crew are experienced, meticulous, efficient and very pleasant to work with. They repaired dry rot, prepped and painted the entire exterior of our three story home in record time. We are very pleased with the work they did and highly recommend Pacific Coast Painting Co. read more

Dave Shapiro at Pacific Coast Painting did a spectacular job on the exterior of our house. Dave and his team were super efficient, and were super friendly to boot. When the paint store mistakenly sold the wrong color to Dave, he fixed the issue directly. When we asked for some additional trim work, Dave gave us a revised estimate and completed the work on schedule. I recommend Pacific Coast Painting highly and without reservation. read more

Great job by this crew! Repaired some very damaged stucco and even added trim. Spot on color recommendations and they all had their PPE so no concerns at all. Highly recommended. read more

We had the exterior of our house painted recently by Dave and his team who did a great job. They were able to figure out how to get the job done even with a pause due to the rain. We were given a selection of paint colors and were able to pick out colors for our front door, exterior, and a stain for our siding shingles. Dave came back out to fix some small issues we noticed after the job was done, so we were happy that he was committed to ensuring our complete satisfaction. read more

Excellent and professional job. Exterior prep was thorough. Very good customer service and excellent, neat work. Very tidy and prompt.
