When researching options for a facelift on the exterior of my home I decided to have Matt from Tera Painting come out to give me a bid. Matt was professional, very responsive and was out the next day. I received a detailed quote within 24 hours. I had a couple of other painters give me bids but they didn't impress or make me feel completely confident that things would be done the way I wanted within my budget. Matt instilled confidence in me that they would do a fantastic job and work with me to get things done the way I envisioned them. From first contact to commencing the project took less than 10 days. The painting team was excellent. Matt, Luis, Rafa, Mike and Javier were all detail oriented and kept me in the loop during all phases of the project. I was able to add and revise details as things unfolded. I am extremely pleased with the results and the exterior of my "new" home" looks great! Tera Painting did an exceptional job within my budget and I will highly recommend them to my friends, clients and business associates! read more

It was great doing business with Matt when we had our house repainted. He was very flexible and readily worked with us in completing the project within our budget. After getting the specifics like colors and scheduling out of the way, his crew came over, worked non-stop and promptly got the job done in two days. Not only that, they also did some minor repairs to the house exterior in order to prevent further wear and tear. Throughout the whole thing, he kept us in the loop with every detail. We will definitely use them again in our next home project. read more

Our house was in desperate need of exterior painting after fifteen years of weathering. After coming up short with word-of-mouth recommendations and inconclusive web research, we turned to Yelp to find a contractor. Tera painting made our short list of candidates based on very positive customer feedback. After reviewing several bids and comparing contract terms and prices, we chose Tera Painting. From there we worked with Alex and Matt to write a tailored contract based on some additional out-of-scope work and they were very amenable at making the changes for only modest cost increases. A project start date was set soon thereafter. Prior to the start date we needed to come up with a color scheme so Tera could get the paint ordered. However, we were having trouble deciding on just the right colors. And for a project of size, the colors needed to be exactly what we wanted. Tera put us in touch with a color designer, Elizabeth Brown of EB Color Consultants, LLC. She helped us arrive at the perfect color palette and then provided a finalized spec sheet to Tera. From that spec sheet, Tera was able to have the main house color perfectly matched from the color and paint brand we chose to a custom Sherwin-Williams paint. Tera even dropped off the custom color swatches to our house for review. The project started right on time and completed without any problems. Mike Kim was the job lead and Louis with the head painter. Mike bent over backwards to make sure all our questions were answered, he maintained good communications with us and made sure our contract was followed to a "T." Louis is very skilled at his craft and he performed amazing brush work. All lines were clean and sharp with no bleed over. Louis's crew applied the house paint in a completely uniform manor such that there are no light or heavy patches, no runs, no sags, no over-spray. Tera Painting is the first commercial painter we've used since my father's passing several years back. My father was a union painter for decades and always handled the painting for our family. His standards were very high and his work was always impeccable. How does that relate to Tera Painting? Tera's crew did an absolutely outstanding job that would have made my father proud. Communication, contract negotiation, customer service, and skilled work - all first rate with Tera Painting. They get full marks from us and we'd hire them again. read more

Amazing job by Matt and team. They did two jobs for us. Both including plastering and painting. Top notch quality. Professional and polite staff. Reasonable priced. Matt is very responsive via SMS and does that it takes to get the job done. Highly recommended. read more

Tera Painting did a wonderful job on our interior paint job - even when the first paint didn't cooperate. Alex made sure that the job was done right, and met my expectations. We did several walk throughs mid-project to ensure that the project was progressing correctly. Our first floor required a lot of patching, new millwork prep, and touch ups - Alex was on the job checking in. We would definitely work with Tera again, and recommend to others. read more

Matt came to patch up a hole in our wall near our second bedroom. He gave me a quote incredibly fast and everything was wrapped up within a few days. Matt matched the paint color perfectly and you can't tell there was a hole there at all anymore. I would definitely work with Tera Painting again. read more

We needed the entire interior of our home painted while occupying the residence, including doors and trim, and got 7-8 quotes. Tera provided a detailed digital proposal with clear line items. We went with Tera because of their positive reviews, communication (listening especially), and ability to help with some repair work as a general contractor (sky light case, door frame repair and one door replacement, and drywall patching). Everyone we worked with was friendly, flexible, and skilled. We ran into some hiccups when our family got sick and Tera was flexible about rescheduling when we were halfway done with the job, and then again with our other projects on the house and Tera was able to add on line items, touch up around new fixtures, and even cleaned up some work of a previous contractor. The owners care about doing quality work and making sure we were happy. Worth the money for the quality! We wish we had known about them years earlier when we did exterior painting. read more

See all

Tera Painting did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our house. They provided a written bid which described all of the work they intended to do along with photos, so it was easy to know that we were on the same page about what work was going to be done. Their bid was competitive with the other companies we talked to. They were able to schedule us promptly when we had our colors chosen, and their team was efficient, thorough, and skilled. Our house looks amazing, and I'd highly recommend Tera Painting to others. read more

We needed a bedroom painted on a somewhat tight schedule. Painters seem to be very busy in the summer, and several others I contacted had either been unresponsive or turned down the relatively small job. In contrast, Tera responded promptly to my inquiry, fit us in quickly, and did fantastic work. They were always responsive to communication, quoted a fair price, were happy to use a different kind of paint at our request, and were generally great to work with. The specific painter who came for the job, Alberto, was also super polite and considerate. I definitely plan to use them again for our next project. read more

Did an outstanding job, Very fairly priced and easy to schedule and deal with. The painter Luis was excellent and very neat and precise. Highly recommend. read more

We chose Tera painting for two reasons; the bid was reasonable and Matt and his colleague who came out to give the bid were down-to-earth, personable and professional. They were honest in what they could do with our 1960's Traditional style home. We have old garage doors, that have loss the lamination and we were not in the market to buy new doors, as well as having our brick (on the lower part of the house) painted white to match the white wood. The communication from start to finish was fantastic. The crew was experienced (shout-out to Omar and his crew) and cleaned up every day. We can't say enough about this company. We are very pleased. Our house looks brand new! We highly recommend working with them. read more

We used Tera Painting to paint the exterior of our house. Matt was great and answered all our questions during the paint selection phase & quoting of our project. Mauricio and crew were awesome, professional, and did a great job painting our house. We are extremely happy with the end result. read more

Matt and his team did a great job repainting the interior of my home. His price was competitive and the painters were very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend Terra Painting. read more

We had our interior painted by the professionals at Tera Painting in June. Alex came out and spent time educating us on the various levels of finish he could do, and the implications to our budget- He helped us figure out what we wanted from the paint job, and delivered that within the budget we discussed. The work was completed on time and on budget! What more can you ask for? A special mention to Alex's production manager, Jupiter- You were a pleasure to work with and I hope your teaching goes well next year! Thank you for a job well done! read more

I had my entire condo painted by Tera Painting. I had got a few quotes in the beginning and Tera stood out with their timely communication and managing expectations. Matt and Alex were fantastic to work with, from getting the quote to the actual job. Excellent communication, friendly and professional throughout. Can't recommend them enough. read more

Update: They finished and they did an excellent job! Superb attention to details! -- So far, great customer service. Max came to the house within a couple of days from inquiry, gave me a very competitive bid and was very flexible with timing. He was super helpful and very fast to give me an estimate. They are starting the work on Feb 13th, and I am looking forward to the results. I will update the review accordingly, but the way it is going, it is looking like 5 stars all the way! read more

Very professional and friendly. Matt gives us a very reasonable estimate. Alex and Kevin doing a very good job fix our drywall and paint. They all are very professional, kind, and courteous. We are very happy about the finished project. read more

This is a review for the lack of professionalism, ability to be honest with expectations, timeliness and responsiveness. My husband met with Alex Houghton in August of 2017 to come to do an estimate. He came to the house to do a full walk around. He never provided us with a full estimate upon request. My husband emailed multiple times and each time he promised he would get a bid within a week. The same story every time. We had to keep harassing him. It's been six months. They clearly don't need to maintain customer service in order to get new projects. Even so, super disappointed and would not recommend unless you want to literally beg Tera to provide an estimate. read more

Very impressed with Alex and the team at Tera Painting. They completed a very difficult job for one of my clients and exceeded my expectations with the final project. Not only did they restore a 4,000+ sf 1904 house with beautiful painting and trim work, they also did some small contracting jobs like tiling a fireplace, installing, lights, patching picture rails. They went above and beyond and I am excited to work with them again! read more

Didn't end up using because my job was under their minimum work. But they gave me great information on how I could do it myself.

I hired Tera painting to paint one of the bedrooms in my house. The room needed a lot of drywall work and there were a lot of paint drips on my natural wood trim from previous paint jobs. Matt responded to my quote request within 24 hours and was able to stop by the next day to do an official estimate. Luis came to do the drywall fixes one day and came later in the week to paint. He arrived on time and he was super friendly and respectful while he was in my house. My room looks SO much better now with smooth walls and much cleaner trim as well as a great, even paint job. Both guys also wore masks the whole time they were here which is very important to me. I would definitely hire Matt and his team again! read more

Matt came out and did an estimate for us. He was very responsive, answered all our questions, and was very thoughtful with his responses.

These guys did a great job doing our repair/install of drywall. It was a pain the butt because we had previous wall texture and are doing a kitchen demo which included new walls, removal of walls, and lots of "holes". They were quick to respond and schedule as well. They were higher priced than other quotes but due to their professionalism we chose them and in the end they did a great job. I would definitely use again. read more

Alex and Tera painting were great to work with! They painted the ceilings in our new house. They were very responsive, were considerate of our needs, and had helpful advice every step of the way. Also, our ceilings look great! read more

We had Tera Painting paint the exterior of our house a few years ago. They were so great we got bids to help paint some rooms inside where we needed a pro touch. Tera did a great job! They are so great to work with, and fit our project in during this busy season. Highly recommended again. read more

My family and I own Leschi Market. Tera Painting did a wonderful job painting our store. It was no small project. We had not painting parts of the building in 18 years. There was a lot of dry rot and missing trim on parts of the building. The wood on the building was also very dry and soaked up more paint than what was estimated. The building took longer than expected because more issues kept coming up. Alex to the owner kept to his original price even though he was going to loose money. We talk and came up with a new price. Even with this new price he was still much lower priced than anyone out there. I would also say Alex is one of they best and most professional painters out there. His crew was also great. They were very respectful to our tenants who rent an apartment on top of our building. I would tell anyone looking for a good painter to hire them. Thanks You So Much, Leschi Market read more

Highly professional interaction from beginning to the end. The quality of the work was very impressive at a great price. I got my garage dry-walled and painted. They customized the work to my requirement. read more

I hired Tera for drywall repair. They were fast, efficient, and reasonably priced. They came in, did the work without disrupting us while we were working, and left the wall looking pristine. I would recommend their services. read more

Outstanding service, I am very pleased. Tera painted a house we just bought that had seriously deferred maintenance on the cedar siding. Some of the wood was so dry and checked I wasn't sure it would ever look good again. They took extra care and time because of that and the final result looks better than I could have ever imagined. I can highly recommend Tera. read more

I am giving Alex and his crew five stars. They just completed a painting job at our condo which included all interior walls and ceilings. They also patched all holes and did extensive work in the master bedroom ceiling which involved drywall damage repair. They were honest and Punctual and finished the entire job a day earlier than promised! T From the first phone call and following calls, all 3 guys (Max, Matt, and Alex), were not only professional, but overall just such nice guys. With all the painters around, we knew we wanted to hire them and they just exceeded our expectations. Thanks Guys!!!! Job well done!!! read more

We just had Tera Painting pressure wash our home. Excellent job! Alex was very knowlegeable, meticulous, and thorough. If we could, we would give a 10 star rating! We highly recommend this company. read more

100% satisfied. They noticed mistakes before I was able to find them. As a former painter I was really impressed with their attention to quality--especially the prep work. read more

We recently began to paint the exterior of our house only to find that there were portions that we could not reach ourselves. We rented different ladders, tried to climb on the roof (which was way too steep!), but could not finish the job ourselves. We called around to over a dozen professional painting companies and Tera was one of two that responded with a possibility of getting the job done...this year!! Alex, the owner, called and emailed with us directly and asked for a few photos of the work that needed to be done. He came out to our house a few days later and painted our partially finished exterior and even touched up some spots that we had missed, all in the matter of an afternoon. Some of the spots were very sketchy, three stories up and on a severely pitched roof, not to mention the hoard of wasps that they had to kill before hand. But when all was said and done, from the time we emailed Tera inquiring about doing the job to the house being completely done was four days. FOUR DAYS! Our job was very small, but no other company would consider the work until 2015. Tera came and finished everything we needed in a professional manner for less than they quoted us and in under a week. The quality of their work is outstanding AND they are nice people too! They may not be the biggest company, but there is something to be said about being personable, professional, and highly skilled that will earn our business every time. We will hire Tera again for any professional painting we will need, and you should too. read more

We've used Tera Painting twice now - both experiences were fantastic. Matt was our primary point of contact and he is great to work with. Both jobs started on time and finished on time with exceptional results. We threw them a few curve balls in the last job (horrible drywall issues) and they worked overtime to complete the job on time so we could get back into our house. Most impressive is their commitment to getting the job done well - they spent hours touching things up, fixing small blemishes that I didn't notice and that most painters would have left alone. We will be using Tera again for some stair work that we're doing and recommend them without hesitation. read more

So impressed with Alex at Tera painting and his whole company!!! I put out a couple last minute paint requests through Yelp and Alex was the only one who responded right away and said he could try to work something out. He kept in touch, came and saw it the next morning, and gave me a bid. Sooo helpful. Then I used him and his guys on another project- and the paint turned out fabulous. The place was left pretty crappy with stuff stuck on walls, holes, crappy baseboards, and after Tera painting came the place looks brand new. Seriously awesome! read more

Thank you Tera for doing an outstanding job in a limited amount of time! Everyone we worked with was professional and went above and beyond. This is a company you can trust with employees you can trust. read more

I would really give 10 stars if I could. Alex and Tera Painting supported our non-profit The Mission Continues. We held an event supporting our Seattle Community by painting the Ethiopian Community Center in Seattle. Tera Painting was completely outstanding. I would definitely call and recommend them for our next painting job! Thank you guys again! read more

Our experience with Tera Painting was extremely positive. Their bid came in a little higher than the other two we received, but based on our experience working with Alex through that process with Alex, we decided that their's would be a better final product and we haven't been disappointed. Alex's knowledge of paint and surfaces is extensive and allowed him to come up with good solutions for our faded shingles and peeling chimney bricks. Both came out looking far better than I would have expected. Alex made a custom mixed for our primary house color, going through several iterations of mixing and blending to reach a final product that met with our approval. Alex and his crew were detail oriented throughout the job and completed everything as scoped. Any problems during the job were fixed without hesitation or question. They repainted the front door because of an issue in how the paint adhered on the first attempt. One of the glass panes in the light on our front porch broke when they were power washing and they replaced all four panes so that they matched. Based on our experience, we would definitely use Tera again and have no problem recommending them to others. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tera. They are super responsive and detail oriented. We are customers for life.

We just had the exterior of our home painted this week by the professional team at Tera Painting. Alex helped us choose the type of paint that would give the best coverage. He went above and beyond to work with us and give us some cost cutting suggestions (tree/bush trimming) to fit our budget. Jupiter was wonderful with his daily progress emails, Matt and Jimmy were very timely; the attention to detail plus the quality of their work was outstanding!!! They picked everything up at the end of each day and were very organized throughout the process. Our house looks amazing! So when you need a dependable, hard working, dedicated team to paint your house, inside or out, call Alex at Tera Painting!! read more
