I reached out to Tenacious Touchups when I needed a few walls painted quickly prior to an open house. Kariem responsed to my quote request in less than an hour and was out the same day for an estimate. He and his team started work the following morning and were done in a day, and the work looks absolutely great! I would highly recommend Kariem and Tenacious Touchups. read more

Wow wow wow... I'm actually in a loss for words. I needed a lot of work done in my apartment after unfortunate leaks from upstairs and Kariem and Debra have my apartment looking BRAND new. They are extremely professional and precise and I could not be happier. They really went above and beyond. Thanks so much Tenacious Touchups!!!! read more

We had the pleasure of using Tenacious Touchups earlier this year. Kariem and Debra were on point from the beginning to the end of the job. They worked tirelessly to finish the job, and the result was just what we had hoped for. We look forward to hiring them again in the future, and we highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality work at a fair price. read more

There was a hole in my ceiling and they got it done within an estimated two day job! Very professional and communicated greatly the entire time. Would recommend 10/10! read more

This is the second time we've worked with Kariem and Debra, and it won't be the last. They are absolutely the best painters on earth. They do perfect work. They are total paint nerds and it shows in how thorough and detailed they are. They're hardworking, fast and total perfectionists. They were incredibly careful with our furniture, flooring and fixtures. And our kids loved them! Absolute A+ team. Don't call anyone else. They are the best. read more

They did such an amazing job! They patched 4 holes in our walls, and you can't even tell there was ever a hole. Thank you!!

Absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end. My water damaged ceiling is better than before it was damaged. Flawless repair, Kariem is a camouflage artist. Will never go to anyone else. read more

Great work! Quick, professional, and on time. Will definitely hire Tenacious Touchups again in the future. Thanks!

If you're ever looking for someone to do touch up painting on any of your cabinets, drawers bookcases, doors, etc., as well as any repair work that would need to be finished before painting, look no further Our kitchen cabinets and drawers looked good in general, but had some paint chipping or wearing around some of the edges. There were also a few scratches from the refrigerator being swung open too fast, chipping the pantry door. Before finding and hiring Tenacious Touchups, we had spoken to several other cabinet specialists that told us it couldn't be done without redoing the whole set of cabinets, costing significant money! We were told the paint could never be matched exactly if done in partial, so it would end up looking obviously mismatched. We decided to see if we could find someone who specialized in just touch-ups. That's when we met with Kariem of Tenacious Touchups. The initial meeting went very well, all our questions were answered, and Kariem seemed to know exactly what to do. He felt he could perfectly match the paint, and also give the exact same finish!  Not only did he not exaggerate, he and his partner Debra, far exceeded our expectations. Our front door and our kitchen cabinets and drawers look brand new! Spectacular work! They were very efficient - only two days to complete the whole job. We were surprised when they took all drawers and cabinets back to their shop where all the major work was done. They had the equipment and the protective gear to do a brilliant job while keeping the toxicity out of our home. We couldn't believe they worked around the clock to make this happen. We were elated with their results, their careful approach to keeping all prep and clean-up work neat and clean, their dedication to perfection, and their demeanor. The price was as quoted, though we felt they really deserved more, an outstanding value. On top of all this, they're just the loveliest people, the kind everyone wants in invite into their home. All in all, this was the best home improvement experience we've ever had! If you're thinking of doing any work of this type, hire Tenacious Touchups. You'll be so pleased that you did! read more

Update: Kariem did reach out to us to follow up. I must admit at first, my conversation with Debra was frustrating. Until I shared with Kariem that I had copies of text conversations, it seemed like it was going to be a "he said, she said" situation. However once everything was on the table, our conversation was much clearer and Kariem seemed ready to do whatever needed to be done to demonstrate the expert results we expected. While this should never have happened, his desire to make it right was appreciated and did restore a good measure of his credibility and professionalism. read more

Our house is up for sale and a week before the open house I found Tenacious Touch Ups. We had to paint the inside of our fireplace and touch up nicks and scratches on several walls. Each was a different color which they matched seamlessly. This company is efficient and knowledgeable and true to its word. Kareem quickly made it clear that he understood our needs. If I weren't moving out of the county I would use him and his team again. Wish I had found him sooner. read more

All I can say is they are AMAZING! Hard to find honest and talented painters such as these guys. Kariem and his partner were great... I highly recommend them :) read more

Very meticulous and great work. We had some long, deep, nasty cracks in one room due to foundation problems along with cracks in the ceiling and several deep holes in the walls from using the Elfa shelving system from The Container Store. (If you know; you know.) Once we had the foundation repaired we hired Tenacious Touch-Ups after receiving a very competitive bid. They did an absolutely artistic job. There is not a hint or shadow of where the damage was. They prepped and primed three other rooms and did all the trim work plus windows, an entry door and hutch. It all looks amazing. Most importantly we were under an extremely tight schedule that coordinated with other trades and depended on Tenacious Touch-Ups meeting their daily goals. They went above and beyond to stay on schedule despite the typical "surprises" that come with any job. In our case it was discovering water damage. The job is running on time because of Deb and Kariem's persistence and quality work. They are good people! read more

Very professional, efficient and reliable. It was nice not to have to worry about this at all. The workmanship is superb down to fine details. I will absolutely use them again! read more

Three things: 1. Not just "Tenacious"...also "Terrific" and "Tremendous"! My husband and I contracted Kariem and Deb's services to paint and refinish the ceilings of our 1,500 square foot townhome. They took dark navy blue walls and turned them into beautiful canvases of white and light gray, and transformed a destroyed three-story ceiling into a perfectly smooth surface (risking life and limb to go up many many ladder heights to make it right)! Their artistry and attention to detail is beyond compare. 2. In addition to the wall-painting work, Tenacious Touchups took incredible care of every other aspect of our many projects, including baseboard repair, door fixes, and just making sure that every facet of every room is picture perfect. 3. Our townhouse is now a HOME because of Kariem and Deb and Tenacious Touchups. Trustworthy, reliable, dedicated, diligent, thoughtful, and sublime artisans, I could not more recommend Tenacious Touchups. read more

Tenacious Touchups - Our brilliant before-and-after living room and dining room, courtesy of Tenacious Touchups! - Painters Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I don't usually write reviews but this time it's worth it. Tenacious T's (as we now refer to them around the house) are hardworking, thorough and don't do anything half-a$$! They are on-time, courteous and just plain good at painting. They make sure the colors are correct, taking pride in the work they do. They don't just slap the paint on and get out as quickly as they can and in today's world that seems more and more difficult to find - their hard/meticulous work is truly appreciated. We certainly will use them over and over again for any painting jobs we have. I highly recommend them. read more

Kariem was a true pro. Not only his skill level but his graciousness and patience in explaining the process. I highly recommend him for any paint or drywal needs. read more

So professional and literally worked a miracle on our bedroom walls. We are all working from home and zooming all day. We never realized how bad our walls looked with all the DIY painting coverups we did on our own! Anyway Tenacious Touchups do more than touch up they overhaul too! I had a few other questions about projects around the house and they were extremely knowledgeable and honest about what will work what won't work etc. Highly recommended read more

Kariem and Deb did a fantastic job in painting our condo that we plan to rent out or sell. They repaired cracks and peeling paint on our ceilings, walls, and windowsills. They went the extra mile in touching up and repainting many areas of our home, even beyond what we had discussed in our initial walkthrough. When the extra paint we bought did not match what we used previously, they took it back to Home Depot for us to try to remedy the issue. They left our home very clean as well. All this, and they still finished in the agreed upon time, and they were both pleasant to work with. We would recommend them without hesitation. read more

Kariem was amazing. When you want home improvement done, you need 1. customer service 2. excellent work 3. good pricing. Tenacious Touchups has it all. Kariem gave me a very reasonable quote the same day, came to work a few days later, and did a fantastic job. He moved around our furniture as needed and left the house spotless when he was done. Do not go anywhere else for your paint (or other home improvement) job - Tenacious Touchups is the only way to go! read more

Kariem and Debra were very good. Communication was excellent and the work was top notch. Highly recommended.

Over due review! In fall of 2020, we remodeled our kitchen and did not have a great experience with our contractor. They left us with uneven drywall and a 2inch drywall gap between our countertop bar and the wall. Kariem and Debra were so professional and amazing to work with. As they evened out our drywall they noticed some of it was crumbling in places! They took the extra time to redo the drywall in those areas and did not charge us extra. Would defiantly rehire and recommend them to others! read more

Amazing.... Clean. Fast. Efficient. Nice. Reasonable. Do I need to go on? .... Punctual. Trustworthy. Fantastic!! read more

Kariem & Debra were fantastic. They repainted the interior of our 2,100 square foot home in Burbank. They were timely, professional, and their work was very on point. They kept me apprised of progress with a progress report and were very clear on cost and there were no surprises. As a single mother, and a new home owner, I am always particularly appreciative when I get to work with folks who do an outstanding job, and are also respectful, kind and caring as I have a lot of novice questions and don't have a partner at home to consult with. Debra and Kariem were lovely throughout the process. I would definitely work with them again and wholeheartedly, and enthusiastically recommend them. read more

A water leak caused some paint damage to a large portion of my dining room ceiling. I called Tenacious Touchups 'after hours' and Kariem responded to me within an hour. He was polite and professional and immediately scheduled a consultation. He showed up on time, was friendly and gave me a reasonable estimate. I scheduled the job for a few days later. Kareim and Debra arrived on time and completed the work within several hours; they were both professional and did a spectacular job. The paint color was a perfect match and they cleaned everything to the point at which you could not even tell anything had been done. I am beyond satisfied and will definitely call Kariem again next time I need a paint job. Thank you Kareim and Debra :)! read more

I researched and met with quite a few painting companies when I was looking into getting the interior of my 1050 sq. ft. condo repainted to be leased out to a new tenant. Debra and Kariem were, by far, the most customer oriented and flexible. They came out within 48 hours to do a consultation and I received my quote 24 hours after that. They then came back out about a week later to paint my unit (amazing turn around time especially in comparison with other paint companies). I ultimately chose them because they put their customers #1. I supplied the paint and got Kariem to give me a great price. However, after they told me they had finished with my unit, I went to do my walk through and it looked extremely spotty and uneven- 2 walls in particular. After I voiced my concerns to Kariem he quickly corrected the issue and agreed with me that the walls in concern, needed another coat. Although initially the paint job did not look great, Kariem was very friendly and at the end of the day he put our needs and concerns first and fixed our issue with zero hesitation. Thank you for your help and support Kariem, you provided us with wonderful customer service. read more

I just moved in to a new house and hired Tenacious Touchups to paint the inside of the house. They did an amazing job! Even better than expected. They were fast, responsive, reasonably priced and friendly. They went above and beyond and helped me with things that were outside of the scope of their work. I can't recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again should the need arise! read more

I write a lot of good Yelp reviews, and give a lot of good ratings when I find a business or service that I like. With Tenacious Touchups, I would give them ALL the stars in the world. I met Kariem and Deb through my general contractor while I was doing a kitchen remodel, and they were hired to do the final painting. I cannot say enough good things about their work. The lines in the paint colors could not be more perfect, the dedication that these two take to their work is second to none. They are nice, normal, respectable, honest, trustworthy and two of the best people I could have ever had the good fortune to work with. Not only did they sand, prime and paint spectacularly, they spent hours cleaning up my jobsite when they were done, bending over backwards to make me happy. They truly went above and beyond what they were hired to do. Stop shopping for painters, stop right now, call these guys and get them on your project. You'll be glad you did. read more

Kariem and Debra are meticulous; they're not in the business of slapping on paint as quickly as possible. They are very thorough, on time, have excellent communication, incredibly reasonably priced and easy to be around. I would definitely recommend TT to anyone and will use again in the future. read more

In one word, AMAZING! We contracted Kariem to paint the ceiling of our entryway which was water damaged from the unit above ours. He texted me to inform me he was running about 5 minutes late for our appointment and I thought to myself "What? A whole 5 minutes? Seriously? Well, that's taking professionallism to a whole new level." I was very impressed. Kariem arrived, materials in hand and got to work (after introducing himself to our new kitten, of course). A short two hours later he was finished and I couldn't be happier with the result. Brand new barely begins to describe it. His efficiency and abundant knowledge of the painting process, attention to detail and customer service speak volumes to the quality of service you can expect from Tenacious Touchups. I will wholeheartedly recommend Kariem to all of my friends and business associates and know that they would all be as satisfied as I am. That's saying a lot. I am not an easy man to please. Thank you, Kariem, for your, dare I say again, AMAZING work! Robert read more

Tenacious Touchups are the best! I've contracted them a few different times in the past year or so for a multitude of different projects. I have never seen two people work harder to pull off what they do. They will work hard to make sure ever little detail is perfect and will work round the clock to make sure the job gets done within a very fast amount of time! I can't wait to work with them again. read more

Kariem is true professional. I can only add, that it was a sheer pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend this vendor!! read more

Kariem is amazing! He did a fantastic job repainting the fireplace and mantle (it was not an easy task, as the last owner of my home had used the incorrect kind of paint and it needed to be sanded off as well). He and Debra responded in a timely manner and were able to help me immensely! If you need a gracious, kind individual, and a skilled painter, either Kariem or Debra is the person to count on. read more

Kariem and his assistant Debra recently completed a difficult mold remediation/drywall repair job for us and we couldn't be happier with the results. We had a bad leak from our attic into the ceiling of a bedroom. They removed the damaged ceiling and insulation, replaced it with brand new insulation and drywall, then retextured and repainted the whole ceiling. They knew our project was time sensitive and they worked long hours every day, including Sunday, until the job was done. They were honest, hardworking, meticulous, and had a wonderful attitude. To sum it up, they are just good people who do quality work and seem to love what they do. read more

BEST PAINTERS EVER. I contacted them through Yelp on Sunday night asking for an appointment the next day (I wasn't expecting them to be able to make it happen!). Within an hour Kariem responded and we fixed up a time that worked for us. They arrived early and stayed late. Such a dream team! They were so kind and meticulous and when a patch up didn't completely match the wall they painted the WHOLE wall for no extra charge. We will definitely be calling them for future projects. It's so nice to have found people who you can trust and who really care about making everything perfect. Thank you! read more

My wife and I have moved 3 times in 8 years, and each time we do our first call is to Kariem and Deb. This time around, the new house really needed a refresh, and we asked them to do our new great room, kitchen, master bedroom, hallway, and bathrooms. They finished the job in 5 days - as scheduled, and did an unbelievable job. I've known painters who were content to just slap a coat on the walls and call it a day... but Kariem and Deb couldn't be more "tenacious" about their work. They really go out of the way to look for imperfections to clean up, and you know they're going to give you top quality work every time. Having any form of construction in your home can be stressful, but these two are also incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and easy to have in your home... something that matters now more than ever. They're diligent with time, always come in on budget, careful with your stuff, and always make sure you get your money's worth. They're also really good with pets. As 3x customers, we couldn't more enthusiastically recommend them for all of your painting needs. read more

Hi! I've had Kariem do work fo me on my previous condo, my new condo and projects around the condo complex. And, I will definitely use him for ALL future drywall and painting projects. HE'S FANTASTIC & THE WORK HE DOES IS FLAWLESS! He has amazing attention to detail and is very professional, as well. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TENACIOUS TOUCHUPS! I have used him for at least 12 projects and have been very pleased with the results each time. THANK YOU, KARIEM! : ) read more

We worked with Kariem last week before and during the move-in to our new house and he was amazing! Not only did he help us strategize where/what to paint, but he crushed the paintjob too...the rooms he painted feel brand new and detailed to the 1/100 of an inch. My wife and I will definitely be working with Kariem again soon! read more

Kariem and Debbie are amazing. We had about 3 days available before moving into our home and they worked their magic to paint the entire house in time for our move in. And not only that, but their quality work speaks for itself. We couldn't be happier and we'll be calling Tenacious Touchups for anything paint related from now on. Thanks guys read more

I've used Kariem three times now and he did a great job. Most recently I had him paint the remaining portion of my home's interior. I got a great price for the work and Kariem was meticulous with his painting. He did several coats to ensure the paint looked even and professional. Just as important as the quality of the work, Kariem and Debra were friendly and kind. My cat that has a tendency to escape never made it out the door and neither of my kids were awoken during their naps. Debra gave us an amazing drawing of our escape-artist-cat that we are going the hang in our house. read more
