When we bought our home, we knew the exterior would need work at some point. We looked at several quotes, and in the end we went with Reliable Painting because of several factors: 1) competitive pricing, 2) personal attention to detail, and 3) clearly explaining the process as well as upfront about estimates and price. We also looked at some of his past work and reviews online (Yelp, NextDoor, etc). Chin and his team did an amazing job for our home. He was responsive and fast, and his team were all professionals. Thank you Chin and team for turning our home into one of the nicest on the blocks; we have already received several compliments from neighbors. Will use again when we need paint/drywall work. read more

Reliable painting painted my house about a month ago, both the inside and outside and did a great job. I left a review. I am now putting in new floors and the flooring people asked me for some paint to paint the baseboards. Reliable painting did a fabulous job of labeling all the extra paint cans. Unfortunately I needed more paint than was leftover for the baseboards. I went to 3 stores and they were out. I sent Chin a text telling him the situation. He said no problem, I will deliver you the paint in 2 days. He didn't even charge me. I am refinancing my house, and so just had it appraised. The appraiser said the paint, both inside and outside, looked great! Thanks for everything Chin. I highly recommend reliable painting. read more

Chin and his team were recommended to us by our real estate agent to paint the entire interior of our house (3,500 sq/ft) before putting the house on the market. The estimate was very competitive but what was phenomenal was the amazing work the team did over 3 days. They were onsite at 7:30am every morning and worked efficiently through each day to do the entire job and finish on time. The house looks gorgeous and I can only praise the detailed work of this team. I am fantastically happy! read more

Chin and his team did an amazing job on our home interior paint. They completely transformed a dark and outdated space to a fresh and inviting home! Chin was flexible to work with and timely, and his team had great attention to detail. We are really happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely hire again! read more

I got Chin as a referral from my real estate agent. The problems with Chin began at the beginning off my Job. On day one Chin showed up to my house requoting me $1000.00 more then he originally quoted me. I found him to be unethical but was forced to compromise because my wife was 9 months pregnant at the time. I had to get my family in our house. I Chin was often very rude and irritable unless my wife was around and I always had to fight to ger him to do the right thing. Lastly, I told Chin to make sure his guys sanded down my kitchen cabinets so that the paint would adhere. He told me that he would. Months later ALL the paint on my kitchen cabinets is falling off. Chin tried to pull a fast one on me and have me sign off on a "Napkin" to agree on a refund for the bad paint job in my kitchen. The problem with that is it cost double the cost to get someone to fix his bad work. Chin also came out to my house with a Sherwin Willams paint rep because he wanted to blame the issues on the paint. The paint rep confirmed that the paint was not adhereing to my cabinets due to BAD pre work. I will never use or recommend Chin he tried to rip me off. And be very manipulative by bringing out a paint manufacturer to back his bad job. I don't appreciate you trying to steal from my family and I Chin. You took zero accountability for your bad work. read more

Just had Chin and his crew paint my house the past few days. What a great experience!! I've never seen painting done with such organization, efficiency and thought helping to avoid any miscommunication. Chin provided not only the price in writing (fair & competitive) but also an outline of which paint in which rooms as well as detail on each step they'd take from set up to clean up. I so appreciate that as it helps to avoid issues. Even the paint cans were lined up in the garage with notations of which would go where. We walked the property with he and Marco and detailed and put notes on walls for each color or type of paint. Marco is also quite artistic and seems to love what's he does and making sure the job is right. Very refreshing that an owner and his crew show such care. They covered & protected everything including the garage floor even though no painting was actually done in the garage. Chin will also make color suggestions if needed. When all was done there was a final walk through for Chin to observe & touch up any issues. He also made sure to clean the sinks and floors. Very thoughtful. Can't say enough!!! read more

Chin and his team did a great job. They were on time everyday and got the job done quicker than expected. I'd highly recommend them.

James and his team painted the inside of our 1,700 sq ft house in December of 2017. We knew we wanted a cream/tan color scheme but needed some help figuring out exactly what we wanted. James came to our home and took the time to make recommendations on color schemes, paint grades, etc... We got a few additional quotes from other painters, but James was very fairly priced and we felt comfortable with him. He took the time to answer our questions without being salesy... very much appreciated. James and his crew took 3 days to paint the entire house (we have vaulted ceilings), refinish/repaint all interior doors, and patch/paint various cracks/holes. I 100% recommend him and his team. read more

Chin was very professional with providing the quote in a timely manner. His team did a great job in 2 days for my townhouse that is about to go on sale. Chin and his team are your reliable option for your next house paint job. read more

Chin and his crew were amazing. So quick and efficient- we had our exterior painted & fence and they finished in only a few days. We've already had several of our neighbors stop by and compliment how beautiful our home looks. I can honestly say he had the most reasonable prices as well & he genuinely wants what's best for his customers. Thank you Chin and his crew for our beautiful exterior we are beyond excited about our new curb appeal. read more

Chin and his team are wonderful! The painted my house months ago and I still am admiring the excellent work that they did. I will definitely be using them again on future home paint projects. read more

Chin and his team are absolutely fantastic! My boyfriend and I are first time homeowners, so it has been a little overwhelming trying to make the right choices and really do the right things to take care of our home. Reliable Painting were hands down one choice we definitely got right! Chin came by to do the quote as soon as we had access to the place. He gave us an extremely fair and honest quote, sent us home with a summary of the work they would do and spent a significant amount of time explaining to us what to expect and giving recommendations. He is extremely knowledgeable about his craft, and has an astute eye for what needs to be done. He was able to get us in the next day after receiving the quote to accommodate our move in date. To top it all off, Chin was extremely responsive via phone calls and text--easily accessible to discuss modifications to the plan, color choices, and logistics. We actually changed one color choice with Chin's advise. We were hoping to have the home painted and then move in right away-- Reliable Painting made that happen for us. We are absolutely thrilled with the work Chin and team did. They were honest, efficient, accommodating, skillful, hard working, and did a absolutely beautiful job on our new home. I simply cannot give them enough praise. We will definitely be using them for all of our painting needs moving forward. read more

Wow!!! I used to flip properties so I have a good perspective on the quality of workmanship out there and I can honestly say that you will not find better painters than Reliable Painting. Chin, who manages the operation, is very much a perfectionist as well as the people he hires. His main guy, Marco, expressed to me how much he likes to please their clients and he goes to great lengths to seek perfection. The rest of the crew, Brian and Alex, are experts at their craft. They are extremely neat and respectful and work from early morning until dusk to get the job done. If I could give this group more than 5 stars, I certainly would. read more

If you want exceptional painting at extremely competitive price, look no further than Reliable painting. Recently, I had Chin and his team headed by Marco paint the interior of our house as well as the cabinets. What an incredible experience this was! My wife is very particular when it comes to paint selection, and even though she spent countless hours to select the colors, ultimately she selected each and every color that Chin recommened. Needless to say the house looks great - You will do well to follow Chin's recommendations; he really knows his business. Chin's team spent a lot of time to prep the home before they started painting and left the home in perfect condition once they were done. What was most remarkable is that they did all the work in four days! I am so glad that we contracted with Chin and we have been referring him to all our friends and family. I assure you that Chin & company will exceed your expectations by transforming your home through their professionalism. Raj Patel read more

I just had Chin and his team paint the ceilings in my kitchen and family room after having some drywall repair work done. They showed up on time with masks due to COVID and did a fantastic job. They removed some old surround sound speakers patched the area, and textured then painted. They took extraordinary care in protecting my belongings and thoroughly cleaned the area afterward. They also finished lines in a self painted bedroom which now looks amazing! I highly recommend Chin and his team who are professional, friendly and fairly priced. Chin and team painted our entire home interior when we first moved in in 2015 and then too did a stellar job. Beyond his professional excellence, Chin is very easy going and has a great sense of humor! Both instances have been wonderful experiences. read more

This painter is by far the most efficient, reliable, and customer service driven painter I have ever met. We used to have a painter that we liked, but he was booked out for 3 months! Then we found Chin and his company on yelp. When we called, he was out to see our home that day. Then he gave us the best quote out of everyone we interviewed. His schedule was open and he finished the job in 3 days. The entire exterior of our house looks brand new. He fixed trim and stucco issues, power washed the whole house, and painted it with speed and precision. His team were professional, very clean, and very polite. I used his services for personal use, but as a realtor, I can be confident to recommend him to all my clients. Well done Reliable Painting! read more

OMG we were referred to Chin to paint our new townhome in Carlsbad by several other contractors. Chin is very detailed oriented and works with a GREAT team of painters, who are also not only detailed oriented but so kind and thoughtful, answering questions and going above and beyond. We loved the work they did so much that we had our garage painted too after the other job was completed. Chin was very responsive to our questions, arrived promptly, and asked questions to clarify what we wanted so he was sure he gave us exactly what we wanted. Chin has 40 years of painting experience, he's the very best you will get, we highly recommend him and his team headed by Marco. GREAT JOB GUYS!! THANK YOU!!! read more

Mr. Chin has painted two houses for us, about 15 years apart. Top notch work!!!!

Chin and his guys were amazing! His pricing was by far the lowest quote but his knowledge and skill far surpassed our expectations! The attention to detail was incredible and the timeliness and cleanliness was very impressive. Marco and the rest of his staff went above and beyond and were fun and easy to work with. I will never search for another painter again!!! read more

Chin and his team painted the exterior of our 2300 sq ft house and did a fantastic job! The crew was completely professional. Brian, Marco and the team did a tremendous job prepping the house, removing everything to the perimeter, and covering and taping the windows. The painting of the body of the house took a day and the trim/doors another day. We were amazed at the speed with which they completed the job (2.5 days total). They left the premises exactly as they found it, moving everything back to where it had been. I'll definitely be calling them again next time we have a painting job to complete. read more

As a 24 year real estate professional, I rely heavily on reliable vendors I can refer to my clients. Chin is always the first painter I recommend.

Contact Chin whenever you're looking for a quality painter with highly competitive pricing. I hope he never retires! read more

They did a great job! Very clean and even fixed a couple corners before painting them. I'll definitely use them again when I need more painting done. read more

This is the second time I have called Chin for a painting job. The first time he didn't even respond with a bid. I thought to give him another shot today and per the owners words when I called to have him do some painting work on my casings and baseboards. "I'm just not interested in this job". I guess I won't be interested in using him when times are tough or referring him to anyone else.. read more

I called Reliable Painting for an estimate and they were very prompt, courteous and professional. With a competitive price, we decided to go with Reliable Painting. The 30 plus years of experience was evident as the owner assisted us in picking out some great neutral interior colors that really made our home look great. Even more impressive was his attention to detail and paint job. There were no spills or bleeding lines. Everything looked clean and bright. Lastly the clean up was spot on, with no trash or paper left behind. We appreciated the left over paint for any future touch ups we could do. I would recommend Reliable Painting to anyone who needs a great painter at reasonable prices. read more

Try them, you will not be sorry with the quality of work and the price!! read more

Chin and his team were great to work with! They do quality work and truly care about customer satisfaction. They were recommended to me and I am ever so grateful for Reliable Painting. They removed the original 1975 popcorn ceiling and re-texturized it to make it look mordern and elegant. Also, the color I originally wanted was a little dark for my small home. Chin was able to lighten the color a bit and it looks fantastic! Couldn't be happier. read more

Chin and his crew, Marco (and company) were incredible. We could not be happier with the finished product. Chin was reliable and kept us in the loop with any changes or immediate needs with the project. Marco and his crew were great. They are very nice guys and very professional! The care of detail was impressive and very appreciated. Our home looks 10X better than before! We would recommend Reliable Painting to all of our friends and family in the San Diego area that need any type of home painting done. When we first called Chin he made himself immediately available when we needed the work done and was extremely efficient. Chin is punctual, professional, and a great sense of humor! read more

What a delight to get happy, reliable, skillful painters at a good price. Chin was recommended to me when I asked for referrals at my local Vista Paint store. He is prompt, experienced, does what he says when he says and his crew members are happy to be working for him. They did wonderful work both inside and out, cleaned up perfectly and I got great advice about color, sheen and paint grades. I have a second home up for the job soon and I won't even get other estimates. They're that good. read more

We have already recommended them to a friend of ours and would recommend them to anyone we know. read more

We hired him to paint our condo after we moved out. He directly ignored our direction to leave up molding that we had painstakingly put up to make our condo look nicer before selling it. When asked why it was taken down after telling him to leave it up, he said he thought it would look better down. It doesn't matter what he thinks, we paid him to do what we asked. He left the molding in pieces in the back yard. He also painted a hallway that we told him not to. He left paint spatter on windows and mirrors and paint chips and debris on the floor. He left painter's tape stuck in the kitchen drain and put the stopper on top covering it up. We had to work really hard to get the tape unstuck. We also clearly told him several times that new carpet would be put in before he painted. He misunderstood and thought it was going to be put in after he painted and ended up charging us more for his misunderstanding. We had cleaned all the kitchen and bathroom counters before having this painter come. After he painted we came back to coffee cup rings on the bathroom counter and something spilled on the kitchen counters. I could have painted straighter lines if I had painted the baseboard. One good thing was that he was available on short notice for a good price, however I can see why he was available. read more
