Words cannot express how grateful we are to have contacted Witzig Painting! With local reports of…read moreinsurance-company related drones flying around in our neighborhood looking to flag issues that could lead to homeowner's non-renewal notices, we knew that we needed to act fast to repaint an area of our home's exterior that the previous owners had made exterior changes to, but we were shocked to recently find out that they had someone paint over the replaced wood siding without first using any primer (!!!), so that area's substandard application of paint was starting to recently peel up in a few highly noticeable spots... yikes! Normally, this wouldn't have been such an urgent matter, but with the current stressful climate of insurance companies wanting to cancel as many policies in CA as they can, removing ANY possible issues, however small they might be, needed to be immediately addressed for our own peace of mind. So when I began to contact highly Yelp-rated companies to repaint this relatively small but time-sensitive job, we were informed that the entire area needed to be properly scraped, sanded, primed and then repainted in order for the paint not to peel up again in a short amount of time, and that a mere "touch up" without all the necessary prep work would definitely not last very long. Unfortunately for us, most of those reputable companies that came out to give us a quote were booked solid for weeks, and although some said they would "probably" be able to come out in between larger jobs, they understandably could not confirm a date for that. Enter Patrick from Witzig Painting, who not only gave us a highly competitive quote, but would also be able to squeeze us in during the very next week, after finishing a large commercial job in downtown Santa Cruz and a residential mansion in La Selva that they were scheduled to finish by the next week. I think it's important to share that it made such a huge difference to us that Patrick was sincerely empathic regarding our well-founded anxiety about taking care of this small but critically time-sensitive important project, as well as echoing the same professional concerns as the other reputable painting companies did about the necessity to properly prep and prime the entire area to ensure a long-lasting professional finish. Patrick's brother, Jack, would be doing the initial pressure wash, scraping, and sanding prep and priming work on the first day, and then both Patrick and Jack would finish the color-matched exterior coats of paint the day after. True to his word, Patrick kept in touch to confirm the date and time he and his crew would arrive, and they were exceptionally courteous and professional from start to finish. Our job was completed exactly as promised, with the paint matching perfectly with the rest of the house, and with a great-looking thick exterior coat that we will no longer be worrying about peeling for many years to come, although we do plan to stucco that exterior wall to match the exterior stucco of the rest of the house just as soon as we can budget it in. After we replace that side of our home with stucco, we will ABSOLUTELY schedule Witzig Painting to paint our entire house to their outstanding professional quality standards.

Our home is unique and colorful in the best of ways thanks to his consultation and guidance. His team is professional and friendly.

If you are looking for an exceptional painter, look no further. We have had several homes painted both inside and out and own several rental properties, so we have worked with many painting contractors over the years. Hands down, Gregory and Transformational Color are at the absolute top of any of our future painting needs. Gregory's integrity stood out immediately. Our initial walk-around consultation was in November, and instead of rushing the job in poor weather, he thoughtfully suggested waiting until spring for the best results. True to his word, he proactively followed up in April with a scheduled color meeting and a comprehensive proposal. To be honest, I originally read about his "color session" with some skepticism, thinking it was just a simple meeting to pick colors. It is so much more than that. You have to live with these decisions, so it needs to be a truly considered process. Don't pass up on the opportunity to have Gregory pick your brain about it. It will be worth it, believe me. During our color consultation, he offered fantastic expert advice. We went through several color changes prior to making our final decisions. We actually ended up adding to and modifying the plan twice--once suggested by him and once requested by me--which included changing the color of the downspouts versus the corner boards, and finally changing the rain gutter color and some major panels in the front of the home. These final touches really made the overall job pop! Gregory accommodated all of these changes with absolutely no price increase. He had one fantastic crew member who did an incredible job managing most of the prep work, pressure washing, daily clean-up, and touch-ups. Gregory was personally on-site for all the painting and in constant daily contact with me. He checked in regularly to discuss progress and brainstorm any thoughts or modifications I was considering. Instead of clean up and driving off at the end, Gregory insisted on a 100% touch-up walk-through, giving us plenty of time to live with and experience the workmanship first. The results are flawless! Oh, the neighbors love it also.

After doing so, he emailed me a bid for materials and labor. I let him know that I was happy to have him do the work. Tim is a solo act, so we had to wait our turn. I occasionally texted him just to ensure we were still on his radar. Tim was always responsive and when our job was next he let me know. Tim came exactly when he said he would to power wash the deck. He did a thorough and careful job. Tim returned the next day to do the staining. He did a magnificent job. His technique left our deck looking better than it ever has when we or another painter have done the staining. He also carefully applied the stain, protecting our flagstone walkway and house from splatter. My best advice is to plan ahead and call Tim for your painting and staining needs. You may have to wait to get your job done if he has other jobs already in the pipeline, but he is worth the wait. Tim's price was fair, he is a very pleasant person, and he does excellent work.
