Absolutely Outstanding! A Five-Star Experience from Start to Finish! I am thrilled with the incredible job The Color Connection did on our home. We hired them to paint the entire exterior of our house, including the trim and front door, storage shed, and the results have completely exceeded our expectations. From the very first interaction to the final walkthrough, their team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, skill, and customer care. Professionalism & Communication: 5/5 Quality of Work: 5/5 Process & Cleanliness: 4.5/5 Timeliness & Value: 5/5 Overall Rating: 5/5 I cannot recommend Marcus and his team highly enough. If you are looking for painters who are reliable, skilled, and dedicated to delivering a top-quality result, look no further. Thank you, Marcus. read more

Marcus did a section of exterior stucco painting for us. He was easy to communicate with, and came out quickly to inspect the job. He sized up the job quickly and gave an estimate that was very competitive. The day of painting he arrived on time, and was super efficient and the results were awesome. He went above and beyond and did extra touch ups outside the original scope. Thank you Marcus! read more

We worked with Marcus a few years ago when we did a bathroom remodel and our contractor recommended Marcus. He did an amazing job. The outside of our house needed to be painted and we called Marcus again. He came out, explained the scope of the work, and a day or two later, we had a quote. Marcus and Andy came out and did an amazing job! They treated the house like it was their own in terms of attention to detail. If they finished an area and they weren't satisfied, they went over it again. Absolutely amazing work and would highly recommend Marcus. Thanks Marcus, I will be calling you back to do the epoxy floor in the garage and house touch ups in a few years. read more

We requested quotes from four different companies for exterior repairs and painting on our 100+ year-old house. The quote from Color Connection was in the middle in terms of price, but we went with them because of their great reviews, responsiveness, and friendliness. They were able to schedule the project quickly and ended up doing a great job. They paid attention to details, didn't cut corners, and were very attentive to what we needed. We're extremely happy with the results and will definitely go to them for future painting needs. read more

We were very lucky to have found Marcus at The Color Connection on Yelp for our exterior painting project. He was very helpful and pleasant from beginning to end of project. The work looks high quality given that he followed through on everything that he described in his process. Of course, it is worth mentioning that his estimate for the material and labor were much more in line with our research on paint quality and price. Overall it was an awesome experience !!! We would recommend The Color Connection to everyone looking for a dependable crew who will provide excellent work! read more

I'm very happy with the job Marcus and his crew did painting the exterior of my home. They were very responsive and communicative during the process...and had patience with our color selection, which took a while. read more

Marcus is a true master of the craft! He did a spectacular job and made my front door beautiful and welcoming.

Marcus did the exterior painting of our house. He did a very thorough job. His team was particularly neat - in the scraping, sealing, prepping and then painting. Our home has a lot of trim and all that is done by hand. He helped us by removing all of the exterior lights so we could clean them and then reinstalling. He reattached some lose metal trim before painting and then after the painting was done he reattached the cable coming into the home. He and his team worked hard and was very aware of our presence and respectful over the 2 weeks of the job. We are thrilled with the appearance of the home. read more

Marcus painted a couple of houses in San Francisco for me over a decade ago before relocating to the South Bay and came back this weekend to take down shutters at one of the houses. He went the extra mile touching up all the affected areas, adding a few red accents, and even redoing the custom red stain on the garage door that was recently vandalized by graffiti. Amazing! It looks like the house was entirely repainted! The other house he painted still looks like new over a decade later! If you want it done right, and last the test of time, Marcus is the man to call! read more

We hired Marcus to stain our backyard fence. I was so happy with the level of service that was provided that I need to share. I didn't realize how much work goes into doing this job correctly. First he pressure washed the entire fence to bring back the original look and color, cleaned up the entire area to not leave a trace. Let it dry, and then coated the fence carefully with 2 coats of amazing quality stain. I have not seen any overspray or excess anywhere! The color is beautiful and water just beads right off. I'm so happy with this work, I'm recommending to all my neighbors!! If your looking for a quality paint guy, he's it! read more

Marcus and his team did a superb job of painting the outside of our home. They did good quality work, for a good price. They were efficient and good at communication. I hope to use them again in the future! read more

Marcus and team is great. They did a wonderful job on our exterior stucco and completed the job on time. Good attention to detail and painted a bunch of little areas that we hadn't even thought about. One guy was also great at walking on our slate roof - always a concern for us but he was a pro. Marcus is very customer focused which is exactly what you'd want. We did have one hiccup where a crew member broke off an old pipe and we had to shut the water down. Marcus came the next day with another contractor and spent half a day helping us fix it. It was an unfortunate incident but we very much appreciated his efforts. I'll be updating this post after the winter - we decided on a paint job to help with some leaks inside the house (exterior is the first line of defense) so let's see how we do this winter! read more

I had 3 estimates and Marcus Henderson Painting wasn't the most expensive or the cheapest. He really took his time walking me through the estimate and what his team can accomplish. Interestingly, once I had the information of what he planned to do I asked the next painter to do the same and was told "I need to lower my expectations". I knew right then and there that Marcus Henderson Painting was the right company to paint the exterior of my home. It's all in the prep, the team spent 4 days power washing, sanding, replacing siding, caulking and taping / covering up for overspray. Every morning Marcus told me what they did the day before and what they were going to complete for the day. I always knew what to expect. Something i have never seen before was the cleanup of paint chips, his team literally vacuumed up every last piece of old paint. I was fortunate enough to see Marcus on a 30 foot ladder to get to the highest point of my home. He is very confident in his craft and scares me even to see someone up that high. Primer - MHP told me that he had the Dunn Edwards primer tinted to the new color of my house for better coverage. What a brilliant idea! Once the house was sprayed with primer all the siding, windows and cracks were caulked. He again showed me how this process can save a house from water leaks in the future. Final Coat- The color that MHP helped me select came out amazing. He really has an eye for color's. The amount of effort and care that he has for the homes that he works on makes me a true believer in MHP slogan. "We paint with pride" I know i selected the right vendor for this large job. Thank you again Marcus Henderson and team. read more

Marcus did an outstanding job painting the   interior of my 2700 square foot house completely. He was able to repair all the bad door casings and holes in the doors from shoe racks and kids things. He also replaced all of the old baseboards since mine were so out dated.  I picked a lot of colors but I just couldn't figure out where to use them so they wouldn't clash. Marcus has an eye for what will look good and where certain colors should go. He surprised me with the placement and my husband and I could not be happier. Marcus left our house cleaner then when he started and we really appreciated that but what surprised us the most was that every evening when we came home we found fresh water and food in our puppies bowl. Now thats above and beyond and its no wonder why he has so many good reviews. Thanks a lot Marcus, we will definitely be recommending you to all our friends and family! Extremely happy with all the work!!! THANK YOU!! I couldn't chosen anyone better for the job! read more

We needed our garage floor cleaned and epoxied on a very specific date, right after our home remodel was completed and before we left on a trip to Europe. Marcus said he could do it (even though it was Easter weekend). He arrived on time every day, was friendly, and professional. Our garage floor looks great and exceeded our expectations. read more

The trucks of Marcus Henderson Painting read: "We paint with pride." Well, once they started our job, we were delighted to see that it wasn't just a slogan - it was an unmistakable fact. Every member of Marcus's crew turned out to be an experienced, careful, customer focused craftsman. And on every step of the process, they were always focused on doing an amazing, top quality job. We can honestly say that our 112 year old side by side Victorians look brand new again. And parts of them are new because they even repaired damages from termites and dry rot. Other painters told us we had to get a contractor to make those kinds of repairs. They even freed up windows that had been painted shut for years and repaired the double-hung sashes which were not working. Marcus Henderson mentored and built a "one of a kind" house-painting team. We give his workers high marks for energy, honesty, experience and know-how. We feel that Marcus has made them into one of the most professional crews we've ever seen in any business. Even though Yelp! ratings only go to five stars, Marcus and his team deserve a six star rating for prep work beyond expectations and skilled finish work. Plus they were all clearly dedicated to providing us with full customer satisfaction! Marcus and his team were so great we simply can't think of anything negative to say-and that is rare in this day and age. Amazingly, they cleaned up the entire job site at the end of each work day. Marcus used the absolute best quality paints and materials and was always organized and businesslike -- and yet his sunny personality and sense of humor created the highest level of employee commitment and customer satisfaction. We would never hesitate to recommend him. read more

I have got to admit Marcus Henderson is amazing and gets the job done. He did extensive work at our house and did a perfect paint job! From the paint job, edges, trim, everything was on point. He really takes pride in doing a great job while providing great customer service. Its not everyday that you hire someone that is amazing at what they do but can also provide excellent service. Thanks for all your hard work and we look forward to having you back for any necessary future paint jobs. Thank you again! read more

Marcus is awesome! He is courteous, friendly, and takes an enormous amount of pride in his work. Marcus painted our previously stained oak cabinets white and the change is remarkable. We went from a dated kitchen to a brand new one at a fraction of the cost of new cabinets. Marcus also painted the interior of our house and re-stained an oak kitchen table. Everything turned out beautiful and we could not be happier!! We will definitely use Marcus Henderson Painting again. Thank you Marcus! read more

Okay, this is a long over due review as we received the service back in Oct 2016. Marcus and his team were very easy to work with and before everything begins, Marcus informed me that it would be a long wait so we waited 6 months for their service, so it's better worth waiting, right? lol I wasn't home when Marcus did the initial estimate for our painting project, afterwards, my husband told me that he believes Marcus was the type of person wants to do things the right way and gave a very reasonable quotes. So we decided to wait till Marcus and his team when there's availability opened up. He and his team of 2 came to our place on time @7am in the morning, and started the work without any delay and did a great job and really be careful especially during the popcorn ceiling removal process, they made sure the tapped everything and took out all the trash as well. Polite team also a bonus, they are very nice and patient when we made suggestions or let them know where needs to be touched up, they've never compliant and always try to not to interrupt our daily lives as well. The result was great and we felt our home is more cozy and refreshed and I love all the color has been picked as well. Would recommend them to others for sure. read more

You may be reading this review and thinking: "how is it possible for a painting company to have such amazing reviews??" - that's because you haven't met Marcus - or his crew. Grab a cup of coffee, or tea, or your favorite beverage and settle in because I've got a lot to tell you about this guy. First, I'll be upfront: of all the quotes we got to paint our house, Marcus was the most expensive. But when I we did the walk through, Marcus was asking questions about our (very old) house that no one else had thought to ask. He explained in detail his process, and explained why it was important, and was very upfront about what to expect. The man just doesn't cut corners and makes sure when he is done your house looks awesome. Example 1: We were missing a downspout for one of our gutters. Never bothered us - but Marcus said no way. Buy the parts, his guys would install it. He wouldn't put all the work in to make our house look awesome and leave us with a missing gutter. Example 2: When we did the walk through, he asked about painting the front door - I told him we painted it a few years ago and so we'd like to save some money and not repaint it. He said no way. Wasn't going to paint the whole house and leave the front door looking old. I AM SO GLAD HE PAINTED THE FRONT DOOR. The dude was right. Listen to the man. I have more examples, but you get the point. Second, the level of professionalism this man brings to the job is unprecedented. Without getting too far into details, we had a misunderstanding. That is going to happen. In all the houses we have bought and remodeled, there has always been at least one, if not more, misunderstandings. That being said - let's just say I was less than gracious in dealing with it. Marcus, however, was amazing, and took care of the problem (at his own expense) because truly at the end of the day his goal is your satisfaction. Finally, I have to say - and this may be weird - but at the end of all this, I hugged the dude. I mean, the house looked so good, his crew was so professional, I felt like he didn't charge me enough - so I hugged the dude. So yeah, just hire this man. You may be put on a wait list - you may have to wait (like we did) but I'm telling you: when it comes to your house, your HOME, don't cut corners. Hire Marcus. read more

Marcus Henderson Painting did an amazing job on our house exterior! The crew was excellent and so friendly! We enjoyed talking to them every day about the goals for the day. They are so nice, we missed them once they were done! They also did a bit of stucco work and painted a few interior walls. Their work was meticulous, fast and exactly what we requested. Cleanup was fast and through, along with detailed corrections to a few minor spots we pointed out. It was a professional job from start to finish. The quote was well done by Marcus and every painter understood the scope of work. Thank you for the very careful work on our house! Even the neighbors were impressed! My favorite part is our fantastic newly finished red door. It was faded and the wood was very weather worn from direct sunlight for over a decade. They sanded and prepped it before painting. Now it is gorgeous! read more

Marcus Henderson Painting is phenomenal. I met with Marcus and we discussed what I was looking for. He helped me pick the colors and made amazing suggestions. My condo came out looking terrific. The colors chosen made my condo pop. The faux design in my kitchen adds a unique look to the area. I have received more compliments then I ever expected. Thanks to Marcus Henderson Painting my condo looks beautiful. I'm thrilled with the result. read more

Marcus and his crew painted my house. They did an excellent job. Marcus even helped me with choosing colors. My wife had about 10 samples. I'm glad he was able to convince my wife with using neutral modern colors rather then bright reds or browns. The painters were super detailed and clean. They scraped, sand, primed where needed. I have a big shed in the back of my house that I added. He said no problem I will do it at no charge. I definitely would recommend these painters. Thank you! read more

They just finished paining the whole exterior of our house and it looks great. Marcus' guys went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with their work and even included some things that were not in the original estimate. When looking for a painter, we had 3 different companies give us a quote. Marcus' estimate was very reasonable and based on the other reviews, we went ahead with him. Would recommend him! read more

Marcus is an amazing painter and person. Such a pleasure to work with. After seeing reviews and pictures on Yelp, I contacted him to have our staircase painted and stained. His price was very reasonable. He always showed up on time and was very detail oriented. Our staircase is just beautiful! To top it off, he finished a day earlier than expected! If I ever need anything else painted, I will for sure call him. read more

Marcus and his team are a class-act. They are professionals. Their level of professionalism is hard to find in any contractor. They show up on time and do the job they say. There are no hidden fees or extra charges. His crew takes great care not to damage, drip or overspray on anything that isn't supposed to get painted. They also deal with the unexpected; no questions asked. Marcus and team have done two major projects for us in the last 3 years: They painted the exterior of our last house. They pressure washed, primed, and painted all the exterior walls and soffit. They painted the interior of our current house. They repaired water damage to our plaster ceiling and they even did the final finishing touches that the drywall finish company missed. Their service now is just as great as it was 3 years ago. We will hire them again. You should call them for a bid. read more

He will act like your job is too good for him and has a condescending tone to his emails. We go through a string of 5-6 emails back and fourth to get him to come out to do an estimate. And the last one says "No Thanks: I will pass on bidding your project. Best regards." WTF is that about? Thanks for wasting my time. His title is President/CEO, LOL! Yes of a painting company. Curious to know who is on the Board? Grandma, Uncle Joey and Cousin Frank? Think highly of yourself much? read more

We found Marcus from yelp. Wewanted to paint some of the interior walls of our new house including 3 accent walls. He was very friendly, and very professionaland also veryprompt to emails and calls. He and his crew finished the job in less than his estimated time. They were also very diligent with the prep and clean up. He helped us narrow down on the colors and was very informative about the paints. He also painted 3 closets for free as well. He also helped out my husband to docaulking on a bathtuband he came on a separate day just for that and did it for free! We had to call him again to repaint/retouch few of the walls after a horrible patching by an electrical guy. Marcus send one of his crew member and got the job done asap. We highly recommend him for any paint jobs!!! read more

We were very impressed with Marcus & team's work on the exterior of our two-story house in San Jose. It was a tough job, given that some of our wood paneling was sun-damaged. While some painters were inexperienced about such repairs (some even suggested painting right over the damaged wood), Marcus knew exactly what needed to be done to repair and paint the house. Marcus went above and beyond by replacing and repairing panels of wood not discussed in the original quote - for this, we are very grateful. Throughout the entire process, we trusted Marcus' professional judgment. It was obvious that Marcus' goal was an excellent end-product and happy customers - he never cut corners, and even came back on the weekend to put on some finishing touches. Will definitely give Marcus a call when we need any painting done in the future. Thanks, Marcus - our house looks beautiful! read more

If there were six stars for incredibly, insanely-great, that's what I would choose for Marcus Henderson Painting. I don't even know where to start, there are just so many pluses and positives, and, frankly, nothing negative, to mention. First off, Marcus was sub-contracted through a contracting firm I'd chosen to install windows in my home. I'd seen the workmanship of the window installers, which was superb, so I put my faith in them that they made good decisions about sub-contractors. Was my assumption ever validated. The most outstanding quality about Marcus is his enthusiasm, and the fact that he *loves* what he does for a living. He was trained by his father, who is also a house painter, and Marcus is old school. I know this because my dad was a house painter, too. My father respected his trade and took pride in his work. This is so true of Marcus, as well, that he should write a book, or be featured on the cover of Time Magazine for bringing quality workmanship, ethics in service and tremendous customer service to an all time high. My house hadn't been painted in close to 30 years and it really looked it. Marcus explained everything that would be done, all efforts to restore the wood siding that had been exposed for many years, how many coats of paint would be used. He was always very clear, gave me daily updates, was easy to talk to, clean and neat, and, definitely, went the extra mile, whatever it was that involved the house. I look forward to the "before" and "after" photographs that were taken because I still can't believe how transformed my home is now. It's gorgeous. Thank you, Marcus, you're the best. read more

Marcus and team deserves 10 stars if they offered it. The prep work was outstanding and the attention to the fine details was excellent. I needed a weeks worth of prep and he took the time to ensure every inch of the exterior was ready for paint. From the calking to the final trim-impeccable! If you are a looking for the best you will not be disappointed. He communicated every day, sent photos when I couldn't be there, and ensured my OCD self was completely satisfied. His best surpasses all expectations, and his price was in line......you wont be disappointed! read more

Poor quality on finishing the wood trim in my house. They put the finish on far too thick, resulting in a streaky, gloppy finish rather than smooth. Also I can see drop marks in the paint. They painted the wrong walls and had to redo that. Not a great experience. read more

I called as well as emailed Marcus and he responded via email within a couple hours. Unfortunately, we are in a time crunch and had literally just signed on with another painter in that small window of time we were shopping around for quotes, but we really appreciate how very responsive, polite, professional he is. Marcus is someone we would have probably went with/appreciated working with if we weren't in such a last minute rush (on our end). Highly recommend others to check him out. 5 stars because he was responsive. Appreciate it! read more

All around first class experience. From initial contact, very friendly, courteous and attentive. Marcus was on time, to the minute he said he would be on site, he came in and got right to work. Very efficient and professional, his work is top notch!! Marcus finished the work in a timely manner and we couldn't be happier with the end result. I would hIghly recommend Marcus Henderson Painting to anyone, wish I had more work for him, will definitely use him again! Great work! read more

I went straight to Yelp to find a painter for my condo interior. Based on his great reviews, I hired Marcus for the job. I trusted his suggestions for colors and accent walls and so glad I did. It looks absolutely beautiful. Great staff as well. These guys know their stuff and did such a clean job with attention to details. Quick response and turn around time as promised. Next time I need a painter I will be using him again! read more

Marcus painted our son's room just a couple of days ago and the results are perfect. Absolutely perfect. Marcus is fast and efficient. And you'd have no idea painting was going on in your house because he is the CLEANEST PAINTER we've ever used. He covers everything and there isn't an ounce of dust from the drop cloths or drips of paint anywhere. It only took 4 hrs to paint the bedroom walls AND ceiling. In and out and perfect. And Marcus couldn't be nicer. Very personable and friendly and offers great advice. We'll definitely use Marcus' services again. read more

We are BEYOND happy with our newly painted home! Marcus and his crew were top notch professionals and obvious experts on exterior painting. Marcus was the last of my three quotes and I'm so glad I held out to meet with him. Based on the Yelp reviews and pictures, I almost already had my mind made up. During the walk around meeting, Marcus displayed knowledge above and beyond what the other companies presented. Aside from knowledge Marcus is a great guy - he's proved to be easy to talk to, honest and fair. He is very responsive to emails during the project. Adrian, his project manager, checked in during the process and was even patient enough with me to try additional paint samples as I wavered on color choice. The crew was always on time in the mornings, courteous and kept an extremely clean workspace. At the end of the project Marcus was kind enough to give us an added bonus of a better matched walkway which he did himself (for free I might add because that's the kind of guy he is). He wanted everything to look just right. As someone else mentioned, I also gave him a big hug at the end, they're that good :) Our house looks amazing. I hope my post helps someone save their time on gaining multiple quotes, save time- go with Marcus Henderson! read more

I chose Marcus to repair and paint the exterior of my home over my regular long-time painters (15 years) based on the amazing reviews he and his team get here on Yelp. I thought his quote was fair, he was timely in getting back to me with the quote, and I appreciated that he was easily accessible to communicate via email before the project and during the project. We have just finished up with only a very small punch list at the end that he came immediately to take care of. It was one of the much smoother house projects I've had and there seemed to be a lot involved with this old house. All of the other fabulous things people say here in these reviews are right on. He even found someone to come and quickly repair a fence for me and his team helped with that as well before the project was finished. There are probably a lot of decent painters out there, but Marcus and his team seem to run a really tight ship, they do great work, and they are all some of the nicest people I've ever had working here at my home. I will absolutely call Marcus for my next set of indoor projects. I highly recommend! But - get organized and plan ahead! The word is out and he can often be booked out for while! read more

Marcus and his team were excellent to work with. We contacted him and several other painters in November 2016, and he was the only one who offered to stop by and take a look. While there, he offered a number of suggestions including painting our ceilings instead of installing crown molding. He also assisted with our color selections and left some samples for us to look over. He was up front with his limited availability due to Thanksgiving coming up, but we ended up scheduling out in January based on our own availability. We communicated with Marcus about a week out to confirm the color choices as well as the start time. They showed up at 7 AM on the first day as promised and promptly got to work. Marcus walked through the job with us and his team to verify everything. He originally quoted us 3 days to complete the work, but on the first day said it would likely only take 2. They covered everything in the house and got to work. They were extremely efficient and thorough, and left the house cleaner than it was when they showed up. The painting looks great and we're so happy we decided to paint our ceilings as it makes a huge difference! They clearly take pride in the work they do! We are extremely satisfied with the work they completed and will definitely be using them again in the future! read more
