We hired Sierra Azul for a bunch of interior painting, including rooms with vaulted ceilings. They fit us into their schedule quickly because we had flexibility over the holidays. we were very happy with the quote. They were prompt, professional, friendly and did a great job. We will hire them again! read more

Scott and his team were excellent. They provided a detailed quote and then promptly painted the outside of my home in 3 days with a team of 4 painters. The quality and service was excellent. They even went beyond my expectations as they painted some additional areas no in the original quote. See photos. read more

Scott and his crew are all professional and did a great job. They patched up any wood rot and sanded making my house beautiful. The clean up was just as beautiful! I am so happy! read more

On time and very clear. His quote seemed fair-middle of other quotes that I received. Will probably go with sierra azul

I recommend Sierra Azul painting. I saw their van in front of several houses in my neighborhood which ended up looking great. Scott was easy to work with and his crew were nice as well. Our weathered cedar house got a needed refresh which still looks nee a year in. read more

It's been 9.5 years since Scott painted our house. For the most part it has held up ok but it now needs re-painting. Looking back, I wish he had used elastomeric paint for our stucco walls and done better prep work on the stucco cracks. Some of the wood areas that he tried to fill with bondo didn't last either. And the metal gate is rusting through as well. I guess the fact that they did almost no prep-work before painting is showing. And some (all?) of the re-used and re-tinted paint that Scott used on our project has faded in color. (Who knew he was going to re-use paint? He never told us up-front.) A couple notes from how the job went in 2014: Scott and his crew left ladders up against the house, paint buckets throughout the site, piles of tarps, ladders, boards and various supplies all within view of our front door. This wouldn't have been as big a deal if they were painting every day, but this occurred over weekends and multi-day spans when they worked on other jobs. Some days they just worked 1 or 2 hours. Scott left too many unfinished bits and pieces as he progressed and then couldn't complete them as the job wrapped up. In fact, he couldn't complete the job in the time frame he had said when he accepted the work or said when he started work on the job. The result was a hurried finish and with some issues he couldn't or didn't want to address because his clock (not mine) ran out. (I was able to get Scott to return to fix a few issues. It took him about two months after several phone calls & emails and finally telling him I was going to publish a review online. Then he showed up to handle the outstanding issues as best he could within the couple of hours he allocated for it.) Despite the issues noted above, Scott always had a professional and positive work demeanor, didn't damage our landscaping and a generally produced a good looking finished product. read more

Scott and his team did a great job painting the exterior of my building. They were punctual, quick, and tidy. Scott was responsive, friendly, and the price was right. Would recommend. read more

Scott, the owner of Sierra Azul Painting, did an awesome job painting my two homes, which he finished painting earlier this month (September 2017) My places had not been painted in almost 20 years and it was a big job! Yikes! But Scott did what he had to do to make the paint job look great... and he even threw in a few extras along the way. Also, after any project, there will always be a few touch ups and corrections. Scott did all of these without complaint, even after I paid him in full. I called the top 6 local painters on Yelp, and there are a lot of good ones, but not all had the time to paint my place before the rains came, since I called late in the summer. So I was shocked when one of the top 3 painters, Scott, actually called me back and managed to squeeze me into his jam packed schedule right away for a very fair price. read more

Scott and his team did a great job on our home!! They paid special attention to detail and started immediately after we agreed on a date and time. Our home was finished in three days exactly as quoted . His team was friendly, clean and courteous. Scott even had color recommendations for our front door and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the entire process. Fair quote, great service, helpful suggestions, and overall a no stress experience. We highly recommend Sierra Azul Painting! read more

Scott did a great job on the house. We immediately referred him to a friend...who also lived his work. Recommended!

It's my pleasure to UPDATE my previous review of Scott and Sierra Azul. Once again, Scott and his team hit it out of the park! My sun-drenched, south-facing Corralitos home had severely degraded over the years and looked its age (mid-70's). Remembering that Scott had painted two former houses of mine in Scotts Valley to perfection, I gave him a call. As before, he showed up on time (always!), and we consulted on the best way to restore my Corralitos home to its former glory. My huge deck required very detailed work on the extensive railings, the entire house was faded and peeling from all the sun exposure, and the interior was dark and drab. We consulted on colors, price, and timing. Scott gave great advice, and a quote that was quite fair and reasonable for the job. His guys showed up day after day, on time, and they were a pleasure to be around. They are careful, fast, and meticulous all at the same time. Scott keeps an eagle eye out and misses nothing. I was amazed, again, at what a great job they do. They did everything they said they would do, on time, with superior skill and great dedication. My house looks beautiful and I couldn't be happier! I can't recommend Scott and Sierra Azul highly enough. read more

The painters from Sierra Azul did a great job on my formal living room, stairs and hallway. They patched a large drywall repair in the ceiling which was opened up for the installation of new canned lighting, and you can't see the patch at all!!! His painters were reliable and friendly. Great job! read more

Scott at Sierra Painting was amazing and very personable. His team painted the outside of my house in Seacliff and did such a great job I had him paint my other house in San Jose. Very professional and clean up was impeccable. I got several quotes and Sierra's bid was the best. They did a beautiful job. Highly recommend them. read more

I found Scott and his business on Yelp and I'm so happy I did! My home looks wonderful again thanks to Scott after a water leak and a poor drywall job by a plumber. He took a job that nobody wanted and completed it with professionalism and high quality. He fixed the uneven drywall issue and did a beautiful job with the paint. He is a perfectionist that knows his craft and is very meticulous about the results. He was communicative, polite, and very responsive. On top of everything else, his pricing was very fair! He is an expert at what he does and a runs a professional and ethical business! I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Scott and team did a great job repainting the interior of our house and our porch areas. They were efficient, professional, and high quality. I'd definitely call them again. read more

In his rebuttal to my review Scott has written "Clearly a vindictive client with too much time on his hands." This is known as character assassination. It is a political tool typically employed by those who do not want to address the issue at hand in a straight-forward and professional manner. Another ploy is to pivot the issue to a "diminished position". This technique is used to turn the attention of the reader away from the original deceit. Again, I do not recommend his service. read more

Scott and his team did an excellent job repainting the exterior of our house. Very happy with the result! We are impressed by their careful prep work and meticulous painting. They are also all pleasant people. Highly recommended. Shigeko and Per read more

They did ok, not much prep work as was spoken about prior like caulking and painting in cracks of the wood siding etc, they missed quote a few areas that I'm now taking care of, make sure to check the hard to see areas, under roof eves, tops of window / doors frames.I question it when they were done in like two days, I'm having a San Jose home painted and they've been here 3 days already, two days was for prep work alone. read more

Scott with Sierra Azul was the only Santa Cruz area painter that could accommodate my timeline and budget for painting the interior of my house! The whole experience was professional and better than I could have expected. Scott is very thoughtful, reliable and punctual. He communicates really well; I was out of town most of the time and he made it all work out. He got everything finished quicker than I could have expected and it looks great. He took extra time to consult about different spaces and colors, and included more areas than I thought I could afford to paint. On top of it all, after finishing painting, he came back multiple days to bring in lots of furniture boxes to make sure they were safely inside when I was out of town. He also checked on the the paint in different light, and made sure all blinds etc were in place. He offered to come back if any paint wasn't perfect. Thanks Scott for everything! read more

Just have to share my experience with Scott and Sierra Azul Painting. Involved owner, Scott and an awesome group of guys. My job wasn't big, but it was involved. Scott showed up on time- every time. His crew was conscientious and friendly. They weren't the least expensive bid I got... but I liked these guys - trusted my gut. I got a very nice paint job, on schedule, within budget. And actually enjoyed it. Very cool people - premium work!!! Totally recommend Scott and his crew for your project! read more

Scott was quick to respond to my questions. The painters were very detailed, kind, hardworking and did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond to address the rust and areas that were of concern for me before starting the job. The house looks beautiful! Would hire again. Thank you :) read more

Scott and his team were awesome. they we clean, and detailed. We love our new paint job!

Scott is the best painter I have ever hired! We had him out to the house, he quoted us a reasonable price. We hired him and the next thing I knew he had color samples for us to review and great advice as to what would look good on our style of home. He was clean, quick, and the price never changed. My faith is restored in contractors because of Scott. Thank you!! read more

We highly recommend Sierra Azul Painting. Scott and his crew painted the exterior of our house in Aptos and did a great job. I'm guessing different people look for different things when it comes to choosing a painter. We have a very high home at places -- lots of surface area that gets heavy weather exposure. We also had a lot of arbor/trellis/lattice-work that needed to be painted. Naturally we were concerned about price, but we also wanted a really professional job that would last -- we plan to be here a while. We wanted someone local who cared about his reputation and would be around if we had any concerns down the line. We got three bids and were surprised with the big differences between them (why such a discrepancy?). Scott was our fourth and final bid. He took his time and talked through the possibilities for the different bids as well as his process. He's a no-nonsense guy which we really liked, and he's got a good eye for color. One of the things we really appreciated was the way he set expectations. We were quite clear about what we expected, and Scott was the same. We knew exactly when his crew would be there and around how long it would take (we had to work around a lot of rain). He was straightforward about his bid and what would be included. He also made it clear that costs wouldn't exceed his bid regardless of how much paint/labor was actually needed. He took care to stress the fact that paint covers things, but it's obviously not magic and can't fix things (we really should have listened more closely and had those few fascia boards replaced before painting, but he did warn us). His crew was polite, incredibly hard working, and tidied up when they left. I had a detailed walk-through afterward with him, and Scott was great about finishing up the final work quickly. All in all, we are quite pleased with the job and highly recommend Sierra Azul -- really professional job for a very fair price! read more

Scott and his crew did an amazing job on our very challenging house. We live on a steep hill so it was mostly ladder work and even so they knocked it out in one week. Several other painters said it would take a month and wanted to charge per coat (some where 2x what Scott quoted). Scott gave us a great price and committed to use as much paint as it takes. This was important since it had been so long since the house was painted, the wood desperately needed a lot of paint. I asked him to do some extra work which he was happy to do and was reasonable and fair with the pricing. He mixes the colors himself and was very accommodating and made tweaks to make sure we were happy. Our house is beautiful, I highly recommend Sierra Azul and will definitely have them back to paint our interior and the deck. read more

Scott and his team were great! He came out and told us what work needed to be done (less than another company), and they were efficient and thorough when they came to do the job. Recommended 100%! read more

Scott and his team did a fantastic job painting our home. Once we had an open window of good weather they were able to come out, pressure wash and prep the home in a day, and complete the painting in another day and a half. Start to finish our home was done in 3 days and looks beautiful. From the fine work around the doors and windows to the exterior they did a wonderful job at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend! read more

After getting several bids, we hired Scott LaBonte to paint our cottage in Capitola. He wasn't the cheapest, but he was in the same range as our other bids and was available on our tight timeline. He used the paint we requested (Benjamin Moore) even though he usually prefers to work with Dunn Edwards, and he brushed rather than sprayed the whole house since it is small. Scott did what he promised and completed the work on time. Plus, he was careful with our plantings and left our property clean and in good shape. read more

Scott recently painted our house and we could not be happier!! He spent hours at our house before hand making colors since we couldn't find anything at the store we liked. It turned out just how we imagined, probably better. His team was great and made sure we liked how it was turning out as they painted. Highly recommend Scott and his team, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Scott had painted the inside of my home when I wrote my first glowing review of Sierra Azul in 2016. Now it's time for another gush of praise! This summer I hired Scott and his polite, experienced crew again to paint the entire outside of my 2-story house, as well as the inside of the new kitchen. He encountered many problems, including substandard siding that needed many holes and seams caulked. I thought I was going to have to tear down the old ratty beadboard ceiling in the dining room, but Scott said, "Let's whitewash it and see what you think." It's fabulous - and saved a bunch of money. He advised me about paint types and colors so perfectly that I finally just let him make the decisions to complement the new kitchen countertops. Who needs a designer when you have a painter with such a great eye! All my friends are raving about the house, but they've advised me that nobody will believe my Yelp review unless I say something negative. So ok, Scott isn't fabulous at scheduling in the high season. Sometimes he arrives late, but he does show up. Now the whole house sparkles inside and out. AND Scott came in under the project estimate. Thank you, Sierra Azul Painting! read more

Sierra Azul does it again! This is the third house Scott and his crew have painted for me, and I am (again) very happy with the results. Due to a short close of escrow I only had a small window to paint my new home before moving everything in, and Scott was able to make it happen, painting the entire interior, ceiling to baseboards and everything between, in just a few days. Pricing was very fair and the quality of the work is top notch. read more

Having our house painted with Scott's crew was fantastic. Clean, quiet, efficient skilled workers showed up to my house on time and got the job done. House looks fantastic and paint color asked for was delivered. Highly recommend read more

We recently had Scott and his crew out to finish our interior paint job. From the first call to talk about the job to the final walk through Scott and his crew were very professional and thorough. I had the opportunity to be there while Scott and his crew completed the job, and they were fast and did a wonderful job. Scott used the paint I had already purchased( which other highly rated painters would not.) Scott's experience in painting really showed in the job. He was right there with is crew putting up the paint. He was very friendly and easy to work with. The finished product, is more hen we could have hoped for with a very competitive price. It is without a doubt that if I need anything else painted I would call Scott I'm a heart beat. If you want a paint job that will last and look perfect, then give Scott and his crew a call. read more

I am very pleased with the job that Scott and his guys did on my Los Gatos mountain property. The property has tons of windows and french doors all over it. The house, veranda, porch and windows required a lot of paint and attention to detail. Scott gave me a fair quote, and he delivered a great facelift to my new house. I am so pleased! I have had many people comment on how good the paint job is. Thank you Scott! read more

So pleased! Scott and his team painted our house and did a beautiful job. Scott's suggestions on the color, type of paint, possible problem areas and what would make the house 'pop' ... helped with all of the decision making. Scott is personable and professional...and, fun to have worked with! read more

Scott and his team were on time and did a fantastic job painting our house. They were courteous and friendly, the painting was done perfectly and they cleaned up everything when they finished the job. I liked the fact that they took great care when prepping the house for painting by covering all areas that were not to be painted, i.e. windows. Our neighbors have been giving us compliments on the new paint job and we have recommended them to use Sierra Azul whenever they need painting done. Just make sure that you know exactly what color you want on each part of the house. We made a big mistake with the color of our front door. read more

We had Sierra Azul paint the exterior of our house (and deck and detached garage) and they did an amazing job! The whole process was better than I expected. They were responsive and competitive in the quote process. Once selected, they gave great advice about color selection and location (i.e. paint the roof in the porch the lighter color). We used multiple colors with lots of specific requests and they were superb at following all instructions. The final amount was exactly the quote. They were upfront about scheduling and didn't leave until everything was perfect. The end result was fantastic. Our house has a lot of trim and different sections and the attention to detail was epic. The crew went above and beyond. I highly recommend Sierra Azul Painting. read more

We have owned a high end construction company in the Bay Area for 25 years and have used Sierra Azul Painting on all of our jobs. We have also used Sierra Azul to do the paint on our own homes as well as our family members homes. We have always been incredibly pleased with Scott's work and would highly recommend Sierra Azul painting for both interior and exterior work. Scott and his crew are always professional, thorough on schedule and clean. read more

Scott and his crew did an excellent job painting the interior of our home. They were punctual, professional and perfectionists, working around our furniture, covering things up and making sure the job was spotless. I will definitely be having them back for future projects! read more

What can I say about Scott?!?!?! He's GREAT!!!! Very easy to work with and helpful as well. I needed the exterior of my home painted quick (not sure how the weather would be). Scott was able to come out and got the job done in about 4 days. His crew were also wonderful, sweet guys, even put all my amazon packages in the back for you. Thanks guy! :-) Scott worked with me on colors and trimming ideas and he created the perfect color for my family. We absolutely love the color!!! Love driving home to our beautiful home. Scott had also did some extra work on the home, with matching the pipes and railing and the porch looks beautiful. Thank you Scott and Crew! read more
