It was an easy decision to choose So Unique to paint our house. They valued us as a customer and were open to letting us select the paint and color we wanted, unlike others who said they only use a specific brand and we needed to select a color from that brand. The crew was hard working, efficient, and cleaned up every day. Jose was our foreman and have to say he was great throughout the project. We asked about trimming and he offered suggestions on how we might consider trimming the windows and outlining the roof. He was also very patient with changes we made. We are very pleased with the result as our house looks great! Thank you. read more

Great service so far! We requested an estimate on a whole house exterior paint job, which will be scheduled for the beginning of April. The estimate was quick and thorough at about the middle of the price ranges we looked at. We were impressed at how they were willing to work with us, even though our project is out four months. We plan on booking our start date right after the first of the year, job review to follow... read more

They did a shit job. Did not cover anything and I had so much to clean. They ended up giving me a whopping 10% off the job.

I got 6 different quotes and Unique Painting was the best quote by far! I love that because they quote fairly. Jose and his crew are awesome and communicated the entire time! At one point I was worried about the colors I picked and they were so nice and assured me not to worry! I LOVE the way my looks. I will definitely be using them again in the future and referring people to them! read more

So Unique had a crew come to paint our entire interior at a townhouse in Pleasanton. They spent 6 days. They were very timely, and tediously repaired and patched everything before starting all the painting. They painted all the walls, ceiling, door trim, doors, closet doors, and baseboards. Everything was completed excellently. They did a tremendous job to create a very fresh, new look inside. Thank you So Unique ! read more

We had our house recently painted by So Unique Painting & Decorating. Before contracting with them, I had 4 goals: protect our house from the hot sun & rain, repair dry rot, remove hideous gobs of caulk around the windows, and make our house look good,. So Unique met all our needs. I Cannot say enough about Jose & Bani. They were very easy to work with and no sales pressure. I can honestly say I trust them. If you are seriously thinking about having your house painted, call So Unique Painting & Decorating. read more

So Unique Painting, Jose and his crews, have been AWESOME... They've painted the interior and done some exterior work on 2 houses. They've just completed the interior of our home. FANTASTIC color selection support, results and Jose's personal touch. Next... complete exterior paint. read more

Jose and his crew were fantastic! We needed our house painted on a tight schedule, and they were able to fit us in AND finish the job early. Jose is communicative, and his office team was responsive and helpful every time we needed anything. They even helped us pick the color. Painting a house is a big project, and I'm so happy we chose this team. Because this was done during covid-19, I feel like I should add a section about it. Everyone on the team wore a mask 100% and socially distanced of the time! I was so relieved to not have to ask. It never felt unsafe to hire them, and if I needed anything else done I would feel comfortable having them come back during the pandemic. read more

We are extremely happy with how our kitchen cabinets turned out. We had the old honey oak cabinets painted antique white. The crew was very professional from beginning to end. The painters were so respectful of our home, covering the floors, partitioning off the workspace in the garage and then putting it all back together. The lead painter was so knowledgeable. We will be referring friends who also want to update their cabinets!! read more

Mark's crew recently painted our home's exterior trim. Another company had done so a little over 5 yrs earlier and the same trim failed, (peeling, fading, etc), in just under 3 yrs and was repainted then under warranty. Upon contacting that contractor, he wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount of money to re-paint our trim. Enter Mark and his company. Mark inspected our home and described the thorough process that his crew would ultimately utilize. His company's warranty is excellent at 6 yrs which really does give me piece of mind-especially considering my experience with the other contractor. I will use So Unique again without hesitation. read more

So Unique Painting and Decorating has been the painting company I have used for the last 25+ years. They have painted both the inside and outside of my current house and just completed the exterior again. The painting team I have received on every job has been lead my Rogelio Rubio. The team shows up promptly each morning and puts in a day of work. They are diligent, neat, professional, .... in other words they do a great job. This time Rogelio asked me if I wanted to paint the concrete retaining wall below my rear fence the color of my house. I had never thought of that and it indeed looked better when completed. Note that was not in the quote but it shows the type of service they provide. Mark comes by and checks on the work progress and the scheduling is easy with Jose. As my previous paint supplier had gone out of business they recommended Sherwin Williams exterior paint. I did pay to upgrade to Sherwin Williams best paint "Emerald" and it was well worth the incremental cost. The white trim has never looked as good. I would recommend paying to upgrade your paint to "Emerald" as the incremental cost is not significant in the total job cost. If looking for great service, excellent painters, at a fair price call So Unique. read more

We were very impressed with Jose and the crew. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of work. I have already recommended them to three of my neighbors. Thank you to the men and woman who did such a great job. read more

Had this company do the painting inside and outside a few years ago. They did a great job so when I need my kitchen cabinets redone on the finish, I called them and Jose came out to check out the job and discuss options. Decided to clean up the water spots by staining and then add a clear coat. Very pleased with the job. read more

We asked for multiple estimates for prepping and painting our wood sided house and received diverse estimates. The first estimate was provided by a widely advertised Painting company located in Livermore, CA. The third company never showed up to give us an estimate. So Unique Painting & Decorating was the second company that showed up the very next day and gave us a more than fair estimate after asking a number of pertinent questions relating to the age of the house and the last time it was painted (12 years prior). We had to have some facia replaced and Jose, the construction manager, recommended a construction company which we employed to replace warped old window facia with hard wood. The first dry days the crew showed up early and worked thru the next two and one half days, washing, prepping, scraping, caulking and painting. They completed the job early on the third sunny day, cleaned up thoroughly before taking us for a walk-around to inspect the job. We are completely satisfied with the excellent, professional job and insisted they leave their sign in our front yard to advertise the excellent job. We plan on hiring Jose's crew to paint the inside of our house in 3 months. read more

We've had great experiences with So Unique. They've painted two of our houses and our pergola twice -- they've always done a great job! I will continue to use them for future painting jobs for sure! read more

Absolutely fantastic! read more

I want to give a good review because I really like the crew that came out and Bob, the owner but the communication is HORRIBLE!! I first contracted them to paint my exterior. Signed the contract, and weeks went by with no call. I kept following up and the woman in the office (who was very nice) told me that only Bob can schedule, but Bob was always so busy and never called me back. Finally after a month when I threatened to move on to another painter, Bob called back and scheduled. It was another month until they could come out, but that was fine. Great team. Did a great job. But while they were out here I asked Bob to give me a quote on a large interior job. This quote came back almost as high as the exterior job, which is fine, because it's a big job. Again, sign the contract, send in the deposit and nothing. After a week, I call. She says she will follow up with Bob. Nothing. 2 more weeks go by and nothing. Then a month. The woman in the office again was very apologetic. She tried to text him, to call him, etc. and still no call back. After waiting over 6 weeks to even just get a call to schedule something, I cancelled and moved on to another painter who actually responds. It's too bad. I like them. But maybe you should allow your office staff to set up your schedule if you are too busy. read more

Hello , My name is Richard Frost and live in Martinez , Ca. Recently I found myself in need of someone to paint the exterior of my home. ---- Not knowing any one in the painting business I turned to Angie's List and Home Adviser's for their recommendations. After interviewing several painting contractor's I selected So Unique Painting and decorating based on two factors 1- Was price ------They were very reasonable ----- In fact in some cases they were several thousand dollars less than the other bids I had received 2- I was most impressed with their sales rep ( Jose ) on our first meeting. I felt very comfortable with him and after being a Cop for some 30 years I can and do size people up very quickly. 3- The painters arrived yesterday to begin painting the exterior of the house . I found them to be Very Professional / Extremely Courteous / Very Knowledgeable and Meticulous in their work product also very very clean. This is an unsolicited review of the company I would give them a AAA Plus Rating Richard Frost, Martinez, California read more

So Unique painted the trim on our two story home. I had several estimates and they were not the cheapest but very competitively and fairly priced. They had done my parent's home several years ago and came highly recommended. The crew was very professional and did a great job keeping things neat, covered and protected. They worked quietly and and efficiently. We recommend them 100% and would definitely use them again for any painting jobs. read more

THE WORST! * Bad Quality * Bad Bookkeeping * Bad Attitude This job was supposed to take ~30 days. It took them 92 days when they finally were relieved of their duties. The quality of the work was horrible. They did not prep the walls, so when the blue tape was removed....so was our texture....and instead of fixing the texture, they just painted over it. They didn't caulk jambs. They didn't vacuum their sanding mess before spraying door jambs. The list goes on. Pretty much everything had to be painted multiple times. Our general contractor is still fixing their mistakes....at his own expense. After they left, and unfortunately were paid IN FULL, we found out how unprofessional and unorganized they really are. When the contract was signed in January, Bob Range actually brought the wrong contract (higher price dated September 2016 not January 2017) for our general contractor to sign. The contractor's names were similar, but the addresses were very different (Dublin vs. San Jose). The amount did not even line up with the 20 day preliminary lien notice they sent me. I contacted them in hopes that they would make things right. I was sure wrong. Below are some of the written responses I received from Bob in email after numerous requests to speak to him by phone to clear this item up: -"I am so glad we are finished and won't ever have to return." -"I don't know what the final amount ended up being and really do not care. " -"Please leave me alone. " -"I don't care what you are showing me. " -"End of story. " Then I gave them a chance to correct their mistake before writing a review and received these comments in the email response: -"Leave us alone. " -"Don't send me anymore e-mails as I will delete them if you do. " I couldn't let it stop there because the price discrepancy was so high....I wanted an answer to why I had someone else's contract, so I responded with the simple question of why did you have our contractor sign the wrong contract? It was only then that he decided to review his mistakes. He tried to smooth over his extremely rude responses and confirmed that we had the wrong contract..... I was trying to tell him that from the very beginning, but he had refused to look at the details. He then tried to turn the situation on us stating we did not pay him in full.....another mistake, sloppy bookkeeping because he didn't record the final check our general contractor gave him, but his partner, Mark Newton, had signed off of receiving. He then had the audacity to say it is certainly not his fault that our general contractor signed the wrong contract. It most certainly is.....Bob is the one who gave it to him in person and Judy in the office emailed to the general contractor for his records. Do yourself a favor and find another painter who will do a quality job and appreciate your business. read more

This is the second time we had our house painted by So Unique. The first time was over 12 years ago and while most of the house paint was fine, we had one wall that gets alot of direct afternoon sun, so we decided to paint the whole house again. The team from So Unique did a great job. Not only did they do a great job with painting the house, but they also sanded, stained and varnished our oak front door making it look like new. We also have alot of plants around our house and not a one of them were damaged or touched during the entire process. They are extremely careful, neat and courteous. We are just as happy with this job as the job they did last time. I recommend them highly! read more

I had my old 80s oak cabinets painted white and I couldn't be happier with the result. Jose, Cion and team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The painters were timely, professional, and neat. On top of it all, they had it done in just two days!! Cion was especially gracious and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about So Unique Painting and I would recommend them highly. read more

I used So Unique Painting as a referral from Angies List. They returned my call quickly. Their quote came in quickly and fairly priced . They showed up on time every day. They were very professional, courteous and kept me informed along the way. Their clean up was good. I would absolutely hire them with confidence again. Thanks! read more

I had used So Unique awhile ago in a guest room I rarely go into. They did a good job. But after going in the room to re-decorate, I noticed some things that they needed to correct. Kudos to them for coming back and fixing them!!! Danny was the painter and he was very thorough and such a gentleman. Room looks so much better!! Thanks So Unique for fixing it and for sending such a great painter execute the job! read more

So here's what went down last week: Monday (morning) - I called So Unique to obtain a quote on a paint project for our home. I spoke with someone who took my name, number and address down. He advised me that someone would call me back to schedule an appointment. Monday (afternoon) - Jennifer called and we set up an appointment for Tuesday @ 9am. Tuesday (morning) - Jennifer called to let me know that Bob's on his way and should be at our place shortly. 15 mins later, Bob showed up. He did a quick walk-through with my husband and wrote up a quote for us. The paint project was for downstairs, staircase leading to 2nd floor, 2nd floor hallway, partial staircase leading to 3rd floor, and 1 bedroom. Tuesday (afternoon) - my husband emailed and called So Unique to speak with someone regarding the quote and get on their calendar to start painting. He left a voicemail. Wednesday - my husband spoke to Bob briefly. Thursday (morning) - So Unique called my husband and they reached an agreement on pricing. Booking set for Friday morning @ 8am. Friday (7:20am) - So Unique paint crew shows up at our door. Early. Impressive. Although I was kinda hoping they showed up closer to 8am since our daughter usually sleeps in till 8-8:30ish but no biggie. They get started prepping the space for painting. Friday (4pm) - So Unique was done and cleaned up their materials. --------- I was/am very satisfied with the customer service and paint job overall. They returned calls in a timely manner and, let's face it, first impressions matter. We received a couple other quotes and though So Unique was not the cheapest they weren't flaky. My husband and I left voicemails with 5 other companies and filled out 1 online form for a quote and we have yet to hear back. We were in a bit of a time crunch so we really appreciate the fast turnaround. Good thing it rained on Friday bc that's how we got on the calendar so quickly. Apparently their exterior paint jobs were postponed. I would give them 5 stars but we found some paint splatter on our slate tiles (kitchen floor) and stainless steel fridge which we are still trying to figure out how to remove. There's also a small drop of paint on the carpet of our stairs and a few minor paint touch-ups but we can handle those. Other than that, they did an outstanding job. We will certainly reach out to them again when we're ready to paint other rooms in our home. read more

We initially selected So Unique Painting because they were responsive (unlike several other painters who responded days later) and prices quoted were fair. Later, we found out that So Unique also had excellent customer service. Bob helped me select the colors for our living/dining room, guest bedroom/bath, family room, kitchen, and main door. I was struggling between 3 shades of Benjamin Moore beige, 3 shades of gray, 2 shades of green, 4 shades of navy, and 2 shades of white. Who knew colors could be so complicated? Bob made some helpful suggestions and we ended up with a palette that worked great together. The painters who came were all polite and very efficient. The paint job was done very well but with large jobs, there are always little areas here and there that need touch-ups. So Unique was very accommodating with touch ups. I put together a detailed list and the painter (they have touch up specialists) did all the touch ups without having to look at the list! read more

We had the exterior of our home painted last week by So Unique painting. They did an outstanding job. Their workers were professional, courteous, meticulous and on time. Jose, the owner, communicated well with us before and during the job. I would highly recommend So Unique painting and I already have to some of our friends. Steve Reid read more

So Unique is a quality painting company that is reliable, professional, clean, easy to work with, with reasonable pricing, and who stands behind their work . Bob at So Unique and his team, are fantastic- he and his crew have painted properties I help or once helped manage, ranging in project size from a three story apartment building, houses, a deck, to a staining of a new stair railing and some baseboards and touch up painting. Why they are fantastic: Professionalism/Attention to Details and Customer's Goals/Reliability on Pricing: When Bob comes out to do the estimate, I get the feeling he really looks out for the customer's needs: he points out upfront if there might be extra work that needs to be done (for example, if the sunny side of the house is peeling and needs extra sanding down to prep) , itemizes options so you can more easily decide what will fit your budget, and tries to figure out a solution for your budget, project goals, and schedule constraints. So far I have not had unexpected extra costs- once they quote it, that's what the price is. Service/Tenant satisfaction: Bob has helped us pick colors for the interior of a house and suggested areas for accent walls, to make the house have a more custom look while staying in budget. They have painted the exterior of houses with tenants still living inside, and the tenants have told me after that the crew did a great job. Going the extra mile(s): With any painting job there are bound to be a few areas of touch up that need to be done. What sets So Unique apart: They want you to be happy with the job. Usually, at the end of the job, I walk the house, and if I see something that needs touching up and point it out, they do it willingly. Once, there was a house where there was a little area of a balcony floor that got missed, probably somewhat our responsibility as I don't think So Unique had access to the house from the interior at the time they did the job. When we noticed it later after the job was done, and we told them, they drove who knows how many miles to come back and paint it at no additional cost. That is so rare. So Unique Painting is awesome-a gem of a painting company. I appreciate their professionalism, quality, competitive pricing, and excellent customer service. read more

So Unique Painting did a great job painting our house and our in-law. They're very responsive and reasonable. I highly recommend you use them for your painting & decorating needs. Ask for Jose. read more

Be warned, this business is very disorganized and unprofessional so don't waste your time and money with them. I got a quote from Bob and tried to schedule an appointment. The woman answers the phone does not do scheduling and Bob is hard to reach. I finally got an appointment but they crossed out part of the work without telling me. The painter came and asked me to reschedule for the remaining work. He also took a big piece of the exterior wall as the sample for the paint and told me he will prime it in the next appointment. When I tried to schedule another appointment, they stopped picking up my phone call after I tried calling many times and didn't reply email. I can't believe they just disappeared like this after ruining my wall. Absolutely horrible business! read more
