The team did an absolutely fantastic job replastering and painting ceilings and skylight areas in our classic Victorian in SF. So easy and direct in communication, kind and efficient folks doing the skilled work, truly a great experience. I highly recommend this company! Thank you Sean and company! read more

I have since moved to LA, but Sean was my to painter in SF and still is when I need a rental unit painted there. He painted my house, rental units, and many places for real estate clients. Great crew. read more

Sean Daly and his accomplished and courteous crew have been keeping our SF Edwardian looking great for over 15 years. He has done everything from completely scrap/sand/prep/paint the entire exterior to doing ongoing exterior maintenance projects (scraping/sanding/caulking/painting) needed to keep a building looking great in the harsh marine environment that is the Inner Richmond. Highly recommend. read more

Sean Daly and his team did a phenomenal job on a recent project for our wainscoting and mirror framework remodel. Greg Mullin Construction did the wood framing, and they recommended Sean and his team to do the finer details and painting. At first we were skeptical because we were not aware of their previous work. I think the correct term would be 'blow away' at the final results. Sean's crew entered our house and began one of the most transformation things I've ever seen. Wrapped everything in plastic to protect expensive chandeliers, sealed the hardwood floors, etc. All of our good stuff was protected and secure while they went to work. One coat of primer, sanding, caulking, two additional coats of paint with fine sanding in between. All of it top notch with incredible attention to detail. All I can say is that the job this team did exceeded my expectations, which is not an easy thing to do. The final product turned out absolutely gorgeous! Highest recommendations for Sean Daly Painting! read more

We hired Walter Monterrosa to refurbish our wooden deck and fence after what seemed like a few decades of wear. Walter and his team did an excellent job in talking through the choices, testing them and then doing the work. They prepared, sanded and stained the deck, fence and the metal railings to a beautiful result. Walter is friendly, thorough and flexible and a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him to anybody who cares about the look and condition of their home. read more

They painted so good! Thank you Sean Daly for the great work. I'll be telling my friends and family in the area.

Sean painted the front of my house in San Francisco, as well one room in the interior. His price was almost 1/2 of what other painters had quoted me. He was easy to deal with and did a a quality job. He was also helpful on some helping me decide some minor design issues, like what color to paint our gate. I definitely recommended and I place to use him again. read more

I could not be happier that I picked PJ to do my paint job! Just like others, I found him using Yelp. I wanted my hallway and front room done. They did a great job but I decided after it was done that I actually had something a bit darker in mind for the hallway than what the paint turned out to be. I hate confrontation and I was scared to call PJ to see what could be done. He could not have been nicer!!! My hallway is looooong and for a small fee, he said he would be there on Monday to paint it the darker color! And now it is EXACTLY as I imagined it would be. I have been looking at my walls ever since and can't help but smile out of happiness. Hooray for PJ! Will DEFINITELY use him again!!! read more

Completely unprofessional. Said that he would come by the house to give a painting quote, then rescheduled the meeting time. We accommodated the change and then he just didn't show up the next morning. Apparently he had texted me (and not called my husband's cell, as I instructed), so my husband ended up leaving work, driving to the house, and waiting for him for 20 minutes before we realized what had happened. I would never hire this company for any job. * Note: increased to 2 stars because he called to apologize and seemed sincere. read more

I found PJ Daly on Yelp and called him about painting our new nursery. He set up a time to take a look and give me a quote. PJ showed up on time; I told him what we wanted to do, gave him our color swatches, and the next day he called with his quote. Then my lovely and very pregnant wife decided she wanted stripes; then she decided she wanted them to go up 3 ' on certain walls, so I called PJ and he said no problem--we will add on $100. I said fantastic and we set up the start day. Once again the painters showed up right on time--it makes me wonder if they waiting outside for exactly 8:00 to ring the buzzer. PJ made sure he totally understood exactly how we want the room before he had his guy tape up the walls and room. Then they finished the room in the two days he estimated, and the quote was spot on. Our room looks FANTASTIC--no paint spots on carpets or window frames. It was just a top notch job. I highly recommend PJ and his team. We have plans to paint every room in our house and PJ Daly will be doing them all. read more

My husband and I were trying to find a good (and reasonably priced) painter to recolor our new house in San Francisco. We came across a few listings on Yelp and called on several for estimates. I was so lucky to have PJ and his team worked on my house! PJ was very responsive, easy going and professional. He showed up at our place for estimates on-time and provided great advices on colors, accents, cutoffs, etc. He left us with a big color fan and gave us a very reasonable quote (time and cost) for the entire job. After we decided on him, we met up again within the week and he showed up with 9 different cans of paints we picked so we could sample them on our walls -- Throughout the process, not only did PJ provide us with good tips on when/how to look at colors, he also never nickel-and- dime us on sampling. The job was very nicely done and our place was left very clean. When we did our final walkthrough, one of the colors we picked turned out a little too pink -- This was our fault since we did not color enough walls to see the real effect during the day as we should have. We called PJ up and told him we might need to change one of the colors within a very compressed time frame since the floor installation guys (Carpeteria, see another review) had to begin work very shortly. He reworked some of his contractors' schedule so the color change could be finished promptly in a day. His attention to details and quality was just superb -- After every paint job, he would personally double-check to reassure the quality before taking payment. When he was not happy with the rework, he offered to repaint another coat just to make sure we were all satisfied. I would highly recommend PJ if you are looking for a professional, customer-focused and easy-to-work with painter who you can trust to deliver you a good job. read more

Just a quick update - I rehired PJ recently to repaint my entire apartment. Yes, thanks to some foundation work with the tenants below, all the walls that we had previously primed, plastered, and painted became cracked. Not. Happy. But just like the first time around, PJ was our savior and came swooping in on a minute's notice to get the job done. Because neither I nor my roommate had time to pick out colors or manage the project, PJ took care of all the details. All I had to say was, "I want the color of the kitchen to be lighter," and with a twitch of his little Irish nose, my wish was his command. So don't hesitate to hire PJ and his team. Working with them is a pleasant and professional experience. read more

Well, I have to add my hat to the great comments about PJ. I'm moving out of my loft and preparing it for rent and kinda left the whole painting thing to the last minute. I called a couple of painters listed here on Yelp and PJ was one of them. He was quick to show up, quick to survey my loft and quick to give me a quote (right on the spot). He talks a mile a minute (in a wonderful irish brogue) and is a sincere, straight to the point, dont-worry-about-it kinda guy. He doesn't get tied up in red tape and his word is definitely his honor (and he doesn't disappoint!) I called him about 30 minutes after he had been and gave him the job (his painters could start in less than a week!) Unfortunately, I had an emergency to deal with and needed to put back the start date 1 day. PJ was very accommodating and shuffled things so that we could still finish on time (instead of 2 guys for 3 days, he did 3 guys for 2 days, starting a day late). Kudos! The result? His guys did an excellent job, hit all the areas I mentioned and handled minor touch-ups that you couldn't even tell had been done. They were definitely better and faster than the previous painters I used 4 years ago! I'm normally a total twisted control freak, but I put my trust in PJ and his crew and they delivered! True to his word, the final bill was exactly what he quoted plus materials (he gave me the receipts for all paint purchased). Highly recommended! read more

Sean, his foreman Carlos and the guys on his crew did an amazing job painting the exterior of our Victorian. This was not a simple job. The house had innumerable lumps, bumps, holes, etc from years of deferred maintenance. Now it looks better than the day it was built. The highest praise - multiple neighbors asked for his card. This was a five star job, and Sean did not charge a five star price. I would not hesitate to recommend Sean. read more

I highly recommend PJ Daly Painting for anyone that needs a paint job. I usually do stuff on my own, but became frustrated as a local place didn't do the best job in matching my paint. I called PJ on a Monday morning. Monday afternoon he came by to look at the work. In a few days time his friend Walter did the job in no time. The paint matched beautifully. Very professional. You can't even see the difference between the other walls in the room. Thanks PJ, if I ever need more paint help, you'll be the first one I'll call. read more

We have used Sean and his brother PJ for many jobs over the years, and without exception they have delivered on timeline promises, do excellent work at reasonable prices, and are nice guys to boot. A good indication of the kind of work they do: on a last job they did last month we had some doors that are exposed to the elements to water heater closets and the bottoms of the doors were rotted. I told them not to worry about fixing them, just paint them. Despite that, they pulled out the rotted part, bondoed them, and sanded them so you'd never know there was an issue-no extra charge. I don't know if they're the cheapest but they're definitely great at what they do. read more

I have used Sean and his Team for several years now; and have been very pleased with their professionalism, quality of work, cost, and follow-through. He just completed another job for us this week--painting two children's bedrooms; and the quality continues from the beginning -- where the estimate process was prompt and very reasonable, to the end, where clean up and assurances of happiness with the job were clearly taken care of. The rooms look beautiful. Sean Daly is our go-to guy for painting. Thanks Sean! read more

Fantastic oversight by Sean and his foreman Carlos for painting my exterior of my house on all four sides, and fixing trim and my fence in under two weeks. Always on time, extremely thorough with their preparation, and super friendly. I highly recommend Sean and Carlos to anybody. The biggest problem that I see arising is people saying one thing, and doing another or not showing up. Sean and Carlos did EVERYTHING and then some. read more

Sean Daly and his team are absolutely wonderful. They do excellent work and really go the extra mile for you. We desperately needed the interior of our condo painted in preparation for bringing home a new baby. Sean and his team worked over the weekend to make sure the job was done in time. The quality was great and Sean did a wrap up walk-through at the end to make sure we were happy with everything. read more

PJ is great. Down to earth and his prices are totally reasonable. He's done both an interior and an exterior paint job for me and gave me bids that he stuck to. Aces. read more

Delivery as promised and on budget--with a smile! I had brought Sean and his team in to give our bedroom a refresh to more pleasing colors on walls, ceiling, trim, and interior door surfaces. The cheerful and courteous team did a great job, handling the variety of surfaces with care and cleaning up completely. Sean was a pleasure to work with and handled everything including getting good quality paint. Highly recommended! We'll be using Sean Daly Painting again the next time we have a project like this. read more

All of the Yelp reviews looked great, so I called and spoke with PJ and set up a time for him to come and do an estimate....and then he didn't show. No visit, no call, no nothing. As much as I enjoy sitting around my house waiting for contractors to show up, I think I'll be giving the job to someone else. read more

My contractor did a terrible job handling the finish painting on a construction project. When I complained to the firm (and refused to pay) they brought in Sean Daly who is fantastic. I'm so impressed I'm going to ask him for a bid to paint the exterior of my 3 story house. read more

I read the great reviews on yelp and decided to call PJ. He said he could come over that afternoon to give me an estimate. He gave us a great estimate (very reasonable priced) and said he could come by in 2 days and do the job in the morning. He even said he would take care of a couple nail holes in the wall and sand it down for us. He gave us some tips on which paint color to choose since we had a dozen samples on our wall and said he would even pick the paint up for us. PJ and his colleague Walter came by right on time and had the job done in less time that what he estimated. He charged us exactly what he estimated which included everything (paint, materials, labor, etc...) They did a great job and I would highly recommend using him! read more

I am a big fan of Sean and his team. I felt taken care of, informed, and listened to. And, I was blown away with the quality of the work the team did. I am a designer knew exactly what I wanted. I just can't believe it - I am not exaggerating when I say that I have *looked* for problems but haven't found any. It's gorgeous and worth every penny. For the quote, we made an appointment and met. I had a pretty complex interior job - 7 rooms with a lot amount of detail (sconces, molding, windows, etc.). I was very specific about the colors I wanted in each, with some multi-colors in some rooms. Sean got it immediately, took careful notes, and immediately set the whole thing in motion. His quote was very reasonable and best of all, he was able to fit it in quickly because of incoming rain. He moves fast - but he didn't forget a thing. Efficient and accurate. Great. Sean is responsive and an excellent communicator. I called him, he answered. I had questions, he answered them. The paint took longer to order than anticipated (due to a holiday), and he kept me updated. In the world of trades, sometimes just getting someone to answer the phone is amazing (why is that?) - so his communication and openness was big to me. His foreman was equally communicative. The team was sweet, polite and professional. Those guys have skills. The most amazing part was that, though I turned over my entire apartment to 7 guys for 3 days, there was no sign they had been there when it was over. No mess, no stray paint spots, no bleeds, no wobbly lines. It just couldn't be any better. My home has been transformed and I love it. I would recommend Sean to anyone for interior or exterior work. read more

PJ's price, quality and customer service were all excellent. PJ was very responsive to calls, quickly scheduled an appointment for a quote, came in with a very reasonable number, and worked quickly to complete the job once the work began. PJ painted several interior rooms of our house and the kitchen cabinets. They all look great. I was leary of painting the kitchen cabinets, but the end result was excellent. PJ sprayed them, rather than brush or roll them, to get a smooth, nearly factory finish. PJ and his crew were always on-time. They were in our house for about a week and posed as little inconvenience as could be expected. Once work began, they were no interruptions and they quickly completed the job. They also worked over the weekend and the labor day holiday to complete the work. I highly recommend PJ for his price, quality and ease to work with. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Sean and his team. I hired Sean after getting quotes from three painters. He quoted me an hourly rate since the job was quite detail oriented and he couldn't estimate how much time it would take with accuracy, while the two others quoted me a flat rate. Someone once told me not to hire painters by the hour, but I found Sean to be very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient so I chose him of the three. He was able to schedule my job within a week. Sean and his team fixed the paint job that I had unwisely attempted to do myself in several rooms of my house, painted a few additional walls, fixed some water damage to my ceiling, installed some base board, and restored a piece of furniture. All work was excellently done - I was in the house while most of the work was being done, and saw that these guys take a lot of pride in their work. The price was more than fair. Every time I look around my house, I'm so happy with their work and am so glad that I found them. I would definitely recommend Sean and will definitely call him for any future jobs. read more

Sean, Juan, and his other painters did an outstanding professional job at our house, which included interior and exterior painting. Our house is over 60 years old, so we were amazed at how it literally sparkled after they completed the job. In addition to painting, they power washed the back yard decking, restoring it to almost new condition. So, it's what would be expected - professional painting results. What we also liked as much as the painting was Sean's professional attitude and his interactive and communication skills. I called him with little notice to see if he was available to paint the house, and he responded by meeting me right away to look at the job. From then on, we were always in close communication by texting, email and phone. We were driving out from Livermore, so we appreciated his flexibility when we told him we would be a few minutes late because we were tied up in commuter traffic. Sean's prices were reasonable and competitive with other quotes our realtor provided us. Quite frankly, we knew from meeting with him that he would give care and attention to the job, and would not just be like the others who planned on sending large crews to just get the job done. We made the right choice, and we recommend him to anyone who wants a great job and pleasant interaction. read more

PJ and his guys deserve 5 stars for sure!

We just needed one bedroom painted, but the walls were a mess from our own botched paint job and full of holes from moving bookshelves around and taking down coat racks, etc. Now it looks AMAZING. And the painter cleaned up beautifully, which is key, as we have two little guys crawling around. Plan on using them again to paint the exterior of our home. Would highly recommend Daly Painting! read more

I contacted three painters to give me a quote for repainting three rooms in my home. Sean provided the best overall experience - great customer service, reasonably priced, and, best of all, the paint job was great! I'd definitely recommend Sean to any of my friends. read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Sean Daly Painting for a waterproofing and painting job on the outside of our home in San Francisco. Sean was quick to respond, provide an estimate and begin work. I found him and his crew to be very professional, courteous and efficient in completing a job made difficult by various obstructions from the neighboring building. I give him my highest recommendation. read more

Sean responded to our inquiry to repaint the entire outside of our home quickly, came out to talk through our project, was eager for the job, and is very likable. Everything was done on time -- even operating on our deadline of "it needs to be done by the time we get home from the hospital with our soon-to-be-born first child." They actually worked over 4th of July weekend -- and on Independence Day itself -- to get the job done. They even sealed a brand new small upstairs deck for us, which saved me the trouble of having to do it. I'd only take off one star because, as attentive and responsive as he was when we were trying to lock down the project, he was a bit less so once it was underway, instead handing off most customer-interaction duties to his site manager, Carlos (who is a nice guy, BTW). I don't mean this in any really bad way, it's just that the few times we had questions about something, Sean was either tough to get a hold of or, when he would stop by to check out something we wanted to ask him about, was in and out pretty quick. In short, it seemed like he was trying to juggle a lot of jobs at once. Still, the paint job turned out great. read more

I'm PJ's newest fan! I just bought a house and needed it painted immediately before moving in. I was under time pressure and PJ was the only painter I found (after contacting several rated here on Yelp) that could do it in the time frame I needed, with short notice. He was always on time, 100% professional and responsible, and clearly knew what he was talking about. The job his team did was excellent and PJ was very responsive when I asked for some bleeding paint to be removed from the trim (the tape doesn't always keep the bleed out). Not only that, but when I asked him to repair a hole I put in the wall after moving in the furniture, he came back and did it at no extra charge! I highly recommend PJ and would hire him again. The paint looks even and beautiful and PJ is clearly a man who takes pride in his work and in his good reputation. I give him a big 5 Star review! read more

This is the first yelp review I've ever written and I've been moved to do so because of the exceptional service PJ provided. Truly, from first call to having my new office painted in record time the process went smoothly and exceeded my expectations. I was able to choose the exact color I wanted (from a huge selection) and everyone who has seen my office since can't believe what a difference the new color has made. I'm so pleased! Also, besides superior customer service PJ was about $75 cheaper than what other painters quoted me! Definitely will be calling PJ for future painting needs and strongly recommend his services! read more

Very good, very professional. The crew was exceedingly patient and did everything we asked. He was not the cheapest, but he did incredibly professional work. He finished ahead of schedule and threw in some small touches gratis. We plan to use him again. read more

I've used PJ's services several times now, and every time I'm reminded how thankful I found him on Yelp years ago. He always shows up when promised, listens to what you need and delivers results that exceed expectations. He's reliable, totally trustworthy, supremely competent, attentive to detail and an absolute wizard matching colors. And extremely reasonably priced to boot! With PJ, I can simply do a walk through of my house describing the project, leave everything to him, and rest assured that I'll have no worries. Hassle-free and drama-free. Results have always been spectacular. Thank you PJ (and Yelp)! read more

sean daly is the man! great service with a deviish irish smile. hes done work at my home and my business and is professional and competitively priced. walter (his main helper) is a also a gentleman and a hard worker. no messing round with these guys ...they come in and get the job done. cant recommend them highly enough. read more

You can't just break out the paint brushes when painting over old cabinets (not if you want it to look at all decent). No, you need to call in the pros. So I hired Sean and crew to take care of business...and that they did. They did a masterful job in prepping the area (sealing off up to 12ft ceilings in a 20x12 area is no joke) and then flawlessly spraying the cabinets (4 coats!) to a factory finished look. Props to Sean's right-hand man Carlos for pulling it all together. Great job at a fair price! read more

We got quotes from several painters to paint the exterior at the back of our house after we replaced it from water damage. They all came in about the same but Sean seemed like the easiest guy to work with and had great reviews. We hired him and he was able to get a crew out right away, but as soon as they finished taping up we got a surprise rain storm and they had to delay for a couple of days. Sean took this all in stride and got the job done very quickly despite all the rain and the finished job looks great. They were able to match the color of the rest of the house extremely well despite it being different materials. read more
