'why don't I hand you the brush since you can do a better job?' This is what Steve Johnson told my wife after we wanted parts of our wall touched up where there was color bleeding onto the white baseboards. We were initially really excited to start with with Steve Johnson painting after meeting with 4 different painters (his estimate was significantly cheaper than everyone else). But after he got defensive when we pointed out a few spots where the lines looked sloppy or were bleeding onto the baseboards, we were definitely taken aback. Ultimately, despite the cheap price it was that defensiveness and lack of willingness to fix mistakes that turned us off. read more

Based on the reviews I had read I was looking forward to working with Steve, but I was left disappointed rather quickly. Steve had set an appointment with me for between 1-1:30, earlier that morning. I arrived to my house at 1:10. After waiting for just over 35 minutes, I call Steve to see if he is still coming, but no answer. I then text him asking the same question. He responds, saying he was there "lil after 1:00", but had other appointments, so he had to go. The curious part to me, was why didn't Steve call me, or knock on the door, after I told him someone was there to let him in? I decided to ask Steve, he responds with "left card on door, only needed answer door. My guess you were late." So I check the door, but no card. After, I sent him a picture of my front door with no card, Steve never responds. My guess, Steve, is that you went to the wrong house, and rather than own up to your honest mistake, you chose to put it on me. You also easily had the opportunity to cancel our appointment rather than try and jam it in to your schedule. Was your plan to knock this appointment out in less than 5 minutes? Definitely dodged a bullet here. I would never want to work with someone who doesn't have the wherewithal to easily communicate with someone to coordinate a simple appointment. I can't imagine how he communicates during and after a job if something needs to be taken care. Good luck to those who dare take the ride, but my guess is there is better quality out there at a similar price. read more

We are happy to recommend Steve Johnson painting. Steve and his crew recently painted both the inside and outside of our (large) home. In addition to painting the inside, he texturized the walls. The work was performed in a timely manner and we are satisfied with the result. If there is an area in question, Steve will happily return and resolve the issue. I found that he will keep his word and do what he promises......not always the case today. Our house is Cape Cod style with shiplap and it requires more frequent painting than some. This is the fourth time in 15 years our entire home has required painting and I believe this is the best job yet. I also feel we would not have had to paint so often had we used Steve Johnson in the past. read more

Well folks, you can see for yourself how classy he is. Great response. For the record, you gave me a quote that was too good to be true, and I was foolish enough to take it, but smart enough to walk away when you pulled a bait and switch. The next day, I had a wonderful company do the job for $1500, and I recommend them to everyone I know. You're welcome, neighbor. read more

Steve just finished painting the exterior of our home. I highly recommend him. He was very professional, reasonably priced and did excellent work. He came out each day to make sure everything was ok, checked in after to make sure we were still happy and even came back to do a little touch up to our door threshold which had gotten messed up while the varnish was drying. His workers were also very professional and did a great job covering our plants and even covered our solar panels. He was great with communication and even accommodated us having to re schedule a few times before starting the job. We are overall very happy for the job he did. read more

Steve and his crew far exceeded my expectations. They arrived every day on time and when they left they cleaned up after themselves completely. The paint job is flawless- they did not cut any corners! My 40 year old home looks like new! I recommend them 1000%! read more

Steve and his team did an amazing job! The job wasn't all that big, but he and his team treated it like it was as important as anything else. They were really careful with covering everything, very detail oriented and cleaned up well. Steve was great in following up and personally came by after the job was done to make sure we were completely satisfied. I would absolutely recommend them and will use them again for our next paint job. Brad read more

Steve's painters are simply great! They are very competent in their abilities, tidy, and pleasant to work with. A year ago, they painted the front part of our house and did a great job. When we decided to paint the back part, we didn't even bother with competitive bids because Steve's prices are reasonable and his guys are great to work with. (No attitude or exasperation. You ask, they listen, and work hard to accommodate your needs.) Thank you Yelp reviewers! You helped us find an A+ painter! read more

Steve painted our baby's nursery and he did a fantastic job. He was fast, efficient, most of all, very affordable and extremely nice. He is honest and does an exceptional job. He fit me in his busy work schedule within a week that I had contacted him. I highly recommend him and his crew. Ill definitely be using him again for any future paint jobs. read more

Very happy with the work provided by Steve and his team. We had the interior of our home painted - family / dining / kitchen / living / hallway / high walls / stairway / front door / shutters. His workers were excellent painters + did such a nice job covering everything up and cleaning each day. There was no disruption to the house and I can't express how nice everything looks. Pricing was great and fair - coordinating schedules with Steve was made easy. Hire w/ no fear! I'll work with him on our next project! read more

Steve and his team did a great job painting our 1960s ranch style home this year. My husband is the most detail oriented person you will ever meet, and he was blown away by Steve's level of attention to detail and professionalism. read more

Great work at a fair price. Steve is very hands on as to the initial quote and comes by often to check on the work. Start to finish he is on it. Honestly he could have taken a break. His workers, Bartolo and Juan, are both professional and personable. Their work was completed quickly and efficiently. The rooms look great and were left as clean as they found them (maybe a little cleaner). They all have a strong attention to detail and rightfully take pride in their work. We definitely made the right choice. read more

I highly recommend Steve Johnson Painting. I had contracted him to paint the entire inside and outside of my home prior to it's sale. Upon my first interaction with Mr. Johnson, it was a very pleasant experience. His quotation was very thorough and complete. All aspects of his scope of work were very well defined. Any questions or comments were quickly resolved and put in writing so there we no questionable areas of concern. His crew was always on time and never left a mess. Upon completion, he did a complete walk-through with me to be sure of total customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this painting professional. read more

Steve is a great guy. I needed my back fence painted (approx 100'). Steve was very professional, quick to respond to calls / texts and did a fantastic job. I would definitely hire him again for a future project. read more

Steve Johnson and his crew did a fantastic job. When we first met Steve, he was very professional and very friendly. I knew he was the man for the job. He gave us a great deal on our home, came on time, finished on time, was meticulous, and did a great job. I would recommend him to anyone who needed painting. Thank you Steve for making us very happy! read more

This company painted a small nursery, bathroom and one accent wall for me last week and I am very happy with the quality of their work. With baby on the way I did not have time to call around for quotes. I am curious about the other reviews that mentioned very affordable prices. ...Six hours for $550 using my own paint that I bought. $92/hour.... Is that reasonable? Overall happy and might potentially use them again in the future. read more

Steve Johnson Painting did an excellent job painting my house. We hadn't had it painted in a while so it was a big job and looked fantastic when they were done. The attention to detail really went above and beyond what I expected, even repainting the metal security door when the color wasn't quite right. Definitely recommended and we will hire them again in the future. read more

Steve showed up and promised a quality job. But in reality he was a very sloppy painter who over promised and under performed. Here are a few of his failures; could not even patch and texture small holes from screws and nails etc., left runs throughout, painted over tape, left the trim rough like sand paper, had a grumpy additude. If you want a poor job for a average price the Steve Johnson Painting is the painter for you. read more
