Gary and his team are awesome. They repainted our backyard fences and refinished our kitchen and bathrooms cabinets. Gary took a look at what we wanted and explained clearly what he could do for us and what we could expect. This means that some of what we wanted was a bit unusual. But, to our delight, he and his team performed well above expectations. We are very pleased with the results. You can hire RB Painting in confidence. Their 5 stars ratings have been well earned. read more

Gary was great to work with and did excellent work painting my exterior stucco. Will definitely use him and his team again.

Excellent company. Would recommend. I am in the Poway area. Needed re-finishing Varathane varnish of front door set at my residence.

We had our house painted in November by RB Painting. Gary, the owner, was easy to work with, flexible, reasonably priced, and he and his team did a beautiful job. We are so thrilled with the transformation! It's like a brand new house. read more

Gary and his crew just finished painting our home. They did an exceptional job, paying attention to detail in every aspect to the final product. They performed tasks that I didn't expect. Their goal was to produce a job that would be satisfying to us. That task was completed without any issues or problems. The crew needed no supervision, guidance or suggestions. They new what they were doing wright from the start. They were very knowledgeable in their work and offered sound suggestions when things came up. Their professional approach to get the job done was amazing. Most of all their prices were more than reasonable. High quality, big satisfaction, thanks Gary to you and your crew. Five thumbs up read more

if you are looking for an exceptional painting company you need to call R B Painting. Gary Baker got back to me the same day I called, came to give an estimate, helped pick out HOA allowable colors, was kept informed of the progression, was very tidy, and he and his crew were nice. I felt pricing was very reasonable for all they did. you will not be disappointed. read more

We had our home repainted inside and out by Gary, Art, and Shane in September 2021. Gary was great to work with right from the initial consultation, and quickly showed how skilled and knowledgeable he is. He helped guide us through selecting our paints and made sure we got our house looking the best it could. Working with them during the painting process was really easy. They were courteous, on-time, and always cleaned up after themselves. Gary was even flexible and accommodating to our last minute schedule changes. Don't be surprised if Gary lets you know there's going to be a bit of a wait before he can get started. He's almost always in high demand! read more

Gary Baker and his painting crew did an excellent job of painting the exterior of our house. They were organized, detail-oriented, and highly efficient. They were careful to mask all areas that needed to be covered, and paint application was smooth and consistently applied. The team was easy to work with, listened to concerns, and took appropriate action when needed. I give them 5 stars in a jiffy. read more

From the first time I spoke with Gary from RB Painting, I knew I was not dealing with just another contractor. Gary was nothing but professional, courteous, and understanding. During his initial inspection of my home, he carefully examined every piece of the exterior of my house to ensure he understood exactly what I wanted to be done with the house. It became very obvious almost immediately that Gary had years and years of experience and really wanted the job to be done right the first time. The quote he provided to me for the job was received promptly and was detailed. I was already sold on having RB Painting complete the job even before even knowing how much it was going to cost me. It is not every day that I meet a contractor as genuine and honest as Gary was. Once Gary and his team (Cassie and Art) started the job, it took less than two weeks to complete the painting of the exterior of my house, which is just under 1900 square feet in size. Gary and his crew requested access to my garage to set up their equipment as well as access to the house to occasionally use the restroom. Although this is not something I would typically allow for most other contractors, that was not the case with Gary and his team. It felt as though I just had family visiting, who happened to be helping me paint the house. There was never a time that I thought twice about allowing the RB Painting crew access to my home. Each day, his team arrived on time and ready to work. They were very careful to clean up after themselves every day before leaving the premises, which was also very important to me. The job that Gary and his crew completed was very meticulous and it was obvious that each of them paid attention to each detail of the job. The team used paint where needed, but the cut-outs painted by the team, specifically by Cassie, without the aid of tape, was simply AMAZING and impressive! I would give all future paint jobs at my house to RB Painting in the future without hesitation, even if that meant waiting a bit for their schedule to open up a bit. read more

Gary and his team did an excellent job on our exterior trim painting. They were prompt, professional and we were very happy with the results. We will hire them again in the future. read more

Gary, Art and Cheyne did an excellent job. I can't think of a single thing that could have been done better. Gary (the owner) came to my home to give me a quote. He was professional, thorough and patient in going through the requirements and answering questions. When I signed the contract, he came back for a color consultation, and once again was very helpful, using professional tools and samples, and discussing options. My quote was fixed price so everything was clear from the beginning. Gary's follow up was impeccable. The work was just completed, on time and beautifully accomplished. All three of them were a pleasure to have in my home, cooperative and flexible -- they knew just what to do and went about it efficiently but with no sense of rushing or shortcutting anything. All three are clearly expert painters, and Gary clearly has an eye for details and made sure everything was meticulously done. This particular job included interior walls, baseboards and trim, doors, and cabinets. I will hire them again in a heartbeat for any painting related project. read more

What is this, the third time we've used RB Painting? We came back to them each time we needed some serious work done in & around the house. This time we needed to do the entire outside of our two story house, as well as the inside - every single thing visible to the eye! A tall order for sure, & fortunately for us we'd already had experience with Gary & his team, so we felt assured we'd be getting the same good service & expertise. And we did! We had no problems whatsoever, & the beauty of this was that Gary was already very familiar with our house & its special needs. We have a metal capping that borders our roof & it's always been a problem with paint adhering properly. Gary worked some of his knowledge (& magic?) & it's looking great once again. As I see from other reviews, people are definitely impressed with Gary's precise attention to details & the importance of prep work. I can't say enough about his team, Art & Cassie - they are equally as detailed & professional as he is! Gary is my painter for life - & I've told him so! read more

We really enjoyed working with Gary and his crew. They were very courteous and professional, they did a great job repainting our house. They arrived early, worked quickly, and always gave us a rundown of the next day's plan. He was very patient and went over all the choices with us. read more

Gary and his crew (Art & Shane) did a great job painting our entire 2 story house and a new fence in Nov 2022. Washed down the house and did a lot of prep work, sealing up joints and masking everything well. Gary, the owner, is on site working and checking that everything is done properly. No paint left on any of our windows nor any other over spray or other clean up we had to do... great! One of our neighbors, who used to paint houses, commented that it looked like they did a very good job. All the crew were pleasant to work with and responsible so it was a nice experience having them around. Definitely had a sense of quality work and a lot of painting experience from Gary too. So we're very happy and we've passed the company name on to our HOA manager for other homeowners who may be looking for a reliable high quality painting crew. We'd use them again without hesitation for any future painting and they do kitchen cabinet refurbishment too. read more

We recently hired Gary to paint our kitchen cabinets and the adjoining walls. Our cabinets were a dark espresso color and we wanted them painted white--a big job. He literally spent hours talking to us about what we wanted and explaining what he would do to give us the best result. He patiently and promptly answered all my questions, both in person and by email. He and his crew didn't spray the cabinets, they meticulously painted each one by hand. The job took more than a week and the results were worth the wait. Our kitchen has been completely transformed and we have Gary to thank for that. I would hire him again without any hesitation whatsoever; you won't find a better, more conscientious painter anywhere. read more

Gary and his crew just finished painting the exterior of our house. From the very first appointment we had all the way through the end, Gary was always on time. He walked us through all the steps of the process. We really liked the extra effort he put into the prep work. Our house was way over due for painting and Gary and his crew got it looking new again. He is extremely knowledgeable about paint and helped us determine the best colors and paint type for our house. While the work was going on, he kept us informed of what he was doing and what would be next. He was patient and worked around our schedule. Gary and his crew were always polite, clean and professional. The attention to detail was fantastic. He pointed out little items that needed repaired even though they did not always have to do with the painting. Those items made the house look even better. Many other painters or contractors would have just let those things go. We would highly recommend Gary, and I have already done so to a coworker. We will definitely be using Gary for future painting work. read more

RB did a wonderful job painting our garage door! Great experience! The paint was from Sherwin Williams and we love the color.

RB Painting just finished painting the exterior of our 2-story stucco home in San Marcos yesterday, and we are very pleased with the result. Gary's team was professional, considerate and did a thorough job. Everything was clearly communicated up front so there were no surprises and all of the work exceeded our expectations. They were not the lowest price painter out there, but they do seem to go above and beyond on the detailed prep work, masking and painting and clean up. They really took their time, with every step - and I mean that as a compliment - their attention to detail was impressive. We were really just blown away at how well they masked and covered everything - and we never saw a stray drip. Gary has been painting for quite a while and was an excellent resource when going through the, somewhat painful for us, painting process. I totally and confidently recommend them. And, oh yea, when we first contacted him, Gary was booked MONTHS out, but they were totally worth the wait. Quality usually is. read more

RB painting owned by Gary Baker is fabulous! Before having my house painted I investigated 5 oother painters, and although he was a little bit more expensive than some of the others, his work shows "you get what you pay for." He worked around my schedule for leaving town on a trtrip even though he had to work on the Fourth of July. One of the best things about him is he is is not only the owner, but the lead painter of his crew and is on the job with his crew each day. Unlike many workmen he arrived on time each morning as expected. And finally his cleanup afterwards was excellent. Bob Miner read more

Gary Baker and his crew just finished painting our house and I couldn't be happier. I had several companies provide estimates and I chose Gary because I felt he was trustworthy and professional. Gary and his crew worked hard for two weeks. I liked that he used the same two people, plus himself, everyday so we knew who was coming and going. The prep work was daunting because we had so many problems like ivy, holes in the stucco, chipped wood frames and cracked vents but they did it all! Then after two coats of paint, our house looks brand new! (I was skeptical at first of needing two coats but I could see a huge difference between one and two coats, even though we color matched.) There isn't one thing I would change because there isn't one stray paint mark anywhere. I'm so impressed! I loved that Gary kept a consistent line of communication during the whole process. He had taken copious notes on exactly what we wanted but as things came up, he asked about it and he always gave great advice. Tip: Gary was booked several months out so call him ASAP to get on his calendar! You might even be competing with our neighbors who are jealous of our beautiful house. ;-) read more

My wife and I are so pleased with the work Gary and his small team did. I impressed that that Gary was concerned about sealing the house for the next ten years. It was not just about painting and making the house look good. It was about making the house look good for today and the future. He is an "upfront" guy, honest and pleasant. Five stars for sure. If anyone wants to talk to me in person - just ask me ... He is the guy to go to. Thank you, Gary. read more

RB Painting - Great job, Gary! Thank you very much. Kyle & Ashley - San Marcos, CA. - Painters Near Me - San Marcos, California

Gary and his team did a great job for us. Reasonably priced, showed up when he said they would, cleaned up every day, went the extra mile, and was so nice to work with. Not to mention the paint looks great! We will definitely have him back for our next project! read more

Gary & his crew of Art & Shane did a meticulous job in the prep, the painting, the cleanup & the communication throughout of our home & detached garage in Esco. They were here every day on time, they were as inconspicuous as you can be & they left the project spick & span @ day's end. We added a last minute trellis painting project which was folded effortlessly in the completion schedule. Nothing but good things to say of this company & it's employees. read more

My husband and I are extremely happy with the work done by Gary and his team to repaint the exterior and interior of our house. From the start, Gary provided high professionalism and clear communication. He promptly came out for the inspection and thoroughly laid out the required prep (trimming back bushes, removing a section of the alumawood patio cover, and creating a work space in our garage for his team to store paint & equipment) and timeline to complete the job (7-8 days). The quote was very reasonable and he followed the timeline precisely. As work started, Gary kept us updated on what work was being done and was considerate to make sure we had access to the house throughout. More importantly, the quality of the work was excellent and their attention to detail was greatly appreciated. Finally, but not least, Gary and his team were very friendly and respectful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Gary for any painting job. read more

Gary and his team just finished up painting the exterior of our house. We were really impressed with Gary from the beginning since he returned our first call the same day. He was able to get us in for an estimate quickly. I was impressed that he spent a good deal of time calculating everything to make sure we got the right estimate. The lead time was reasonable and they were able to come out much earlier than expected. His team is very professional and did an excellent job prepping and getting everything painted much quicker than I expected. The paint looks fantastic so I highly recommend using Gary and his team. read more

A+ RB Painting just finished painting the exterior of our home. It was done flawlessly and looks like a new home. I knew when Gary came out to give me the estimate, that he was different than other painting companies. He really took his time looking over our home and going over the details of what exactly needed to be done. Other companies that came out just glanced at the house and gave us an estimate. They were slightly higher priced, but I would rather have someone do a thorough job than just slap some paint on my house. It was clear to me that Gary was going to be the most trusted to do a good job. Punctuality is VERY important to me and they were 10 minutes early each day. Very professional! If you are looking for a trustworthy, reasonable, perfection driven painting company, these are your guys! read more

Gary and his team are the best! Super professional and friendly as well. We had our 1970s cream color home updated to a modern white. He was patient with our HOA approval and stayed true to our schedule. Highly recommended. read more

So glad to have found Gary Baker to paint the exterior of our house. Licensed contractor. 35 years experience. Gary was up front in beginning about his schedule then checked in with me several times beforehand to confirm start date. Only uses the highest quality paint. Detailed and meticulous is an understatement- his crew is on it! And surprise surprise one of his crew, Cassie was a female and a super hard worker. I would highly recommend RB Painting to anyone without question. While we still have lots of landscaping to do I am providing before and after photos which shows the quality workmanship. read more

Gary & his crew, Cassie & Art, just finished a 7 day outdoor deck & trellis staining job & before they were done we hired them to do another project. Proof is in the pudding, as they say, and their attention to detail, promptness, respect of our presence in the house while their work was ongoing, & quality of work was impressive. Superior professionalism, superior people! Had Gary, Cassie & Art back last week (Oct 2016) to do exterior trim. This crew is extraordinary in every way. Love to watch their camaraderie & Gary's teaching throughout. A positive experience for customers & crew. Can't imagine using anyone but RB Painting for all future projects. read more

This is our first time with RB painting. I hadn't read the reviews on Yelp but got a referral from a friend. I definitely agree with the reviews!! Gary was so informative, didn't leave out ANY details. He was in touch with us before our job and offered to help us with paint (color) choices. Before he arrived, he had reviewed everything we needed to know and be prepared for. His attention to detail was amazing. The prep work he and his staff did was VERY different and so much better than any painters we've used before. Top quality. read more

R.B. Painting was my pick from three contractors. A genuine pro, providing excellent customer service, always accommodating. Gary's very meticulous, paying attention to the smallest details. Organized, leaving our home clean and all furniture placed back. Finished product looks amazing! Thanks Gary, for a job well done. read more

RB Painting just finished restoring our California ranch style home to its prior glory. Gary Baker was not the least expensive choice, he was the best choice and worth waiting for. He helped us with paint and color selection, repaired stucco and wood damage, and communicated effectively through the entire process. Gary and his crew, Art and Cassie, are meticulous, prepared, on time and professional. We are so happy with the results and highly recommend RB Painting. read more

Gary and his crew have painted at our home on 3 occasions. They always provide a quality job and are careful with the details. They are also good with our dogs which is important to me. Today they just finished an interior paint job. We are grateful for the good work! read more

RB Painting recently painted our home inside and out. Not only were they meticulous with every detail, they were also surprisingly affordable. From choosing paint colors to making cost saving recommendations, RB Painting's 25 plus years of experience really shows. I have found a painter for life and will never use anyone else. read more

Gary Baker and his crew painted the interior of our home. The crew is very skilled. The lines between colors are perfect.They are always on time and very professional. They are very courteous and respectful of the homeowner. Gary is easy going, courteous, and has high integrity. He pays attention to the smallest detail. He makes sure all furniture and carpet is completely covered. At the end of the day, his crew cleans up thoroughly. His crew even brought in my trash cans from the street one day. Gary goes above and beyond the duties of a painter. He purchased and cut , and painted a piece of wood to cover an attic access. Gary did a lot to make us feel comfortable. He helped make decisions about colors. I highly recommend RB Painting. read more

Gary and his team are outstanding! Gary spent a good deal of time reviewing all the parts of the job before giving a quote, talked about many options and provided a great solution to what we were looking for. His team arrived early every day, were all friendly and cleaned up very well after the job was done. I couldn't have asked for anything more and will not need to look anywhere else for our painting needs in the future. True professionals! read more

Gary was knowledgeable, easy going and thorough throughout the whole process. We didn't go with any crazy paint scheme or don't have a super fancy house, but now the inside looks great!!! Gary took the time at the beginning of the process to really go through the house with us and asked us lots of questions! I thought this was great as we've never painted the entire open area of a house before and he had lots of great questions and had no issues when we had no answers to his questions (I think it started with "what color do you want the trim" and when we had a blank look he talked to us about how choosing a slight off white color rather that white would be better in a lot of ways, but never forced any ideas). He checked in with us leading up to starting and even made one final stop over to see us before starting to make sure he had answered all our questions. We never met his crew or saw them work as we were at work the whole time they were here, but their work was great and they never left any mess. He also checked in during the day with things he discovered. Gary won't be the cheapest option out there, but really cheapest isn't always best and they weren't that much more, especially for the service we got - we are definitely very happy with the outcome! read more

Gary and his crew painted our house this week and did an awesome job. We were really happy with how fast he and his crew got the job done and each day when we would come home you couldn't even tell anyone had been painting in the house because everything has been cleaned up after all their work for the day. Gary made it very easy for us and he was great to work with. He was also very on time and delivered on his estimates so we were very happy. read more

We just had the exterior of our house painted by Gary this past week and we are very satisfied with the job. Gary was very easy to work with, quickly responded to any questions or concerns via phone/email, and really expressed genuine interest in our satisfaction and the quality of his work. He provided addresses of recent jobs so we could go drive by the homes and check out colors in person. Throughout the entire process Gary was helpful, friendly, professional, and courteous. He and his crew came on time each morning, did an amazing job of cleaning up after themselves, and seemed to work very well with each other. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone that is considering hiring a painting professional. read more

The exterior of our house was starting to show its age, and we wanted to adjust the look a bit to give it more appeal. After getting some quotes on the job from others, Gary / RB Painting rose to the top. Not because he was the least expensive, or because he was going to finish the job the quickest, but I felt he was going to give my home the care, attention to detail, and provide the good job that I was looking for. Throughout the process, Gary and his crew were punctual, neat, respectful, and courteous. Our house has never looked better! I would definitely recommend RB Painting for any home exterior painting work. read more
