We heard about Tim via word-of-mouth from a family friend and hoped like many of the reviews state here, we would end up with a beautiful paint job. In reality, the entire job needs to be done again. But because I didn't want to get into a major confrontation or litigation after relocating from the East Coast, we've chalked this up to a very bad learning experience. For context, our house was built in 1979 and is roughly 1,400 sqft with no unusual architectural features. We originally asked Tim to paint all of our walls (bathrooms, closets, etc) and selected only three colors. The price was reasonable - roughly $3,500. Because we did renovation ahead of painting, which included installing new baseboards lower than the originals, and created construction dust, we needed extra drywall work and decided to include the ceilings. New price: $7,200. We were short on time, and we agreed to have the work done. All quotes were provided in a simple email and lacked critical detail, which was a mistake on my part. Given the cost, I assumed that "Repair the damaged drywall along the walls to paint" (direct quote from the bid), would mean there would be some prep work completed. Unfortunately, the result was subpar. The painters were there for roughly five days. When my wife and I went to inspect, there were so many imperfections on the walls (poor texture, drip marks throughout every room, paint on our ceiling fans, countertops, balcony and mirrors), we told Tim he would need to fix several of the major items. He completed a handful of corrections, but not without being indignant. He simply refused to do others. When I showed him clear drip marks caused by his crew, he simply said, "That is just new paint over old." I even scratched the drip with my finger nail to show him that he was wrong and he had the audacity to tell me, "We'll need to agree to disagree." Needless to say, basic prep work was never performed, and the overall job was simply sloppy. The work was completed around Aug 5th 2018, and we already have chipping paint throughout the house. There are some spots in the bathroom where you can clearly see through to the old paint. This was a job done exactly the wrong way, and at considerable expense. My recommendation is to find another company. read more

We had some significant stucco repair work done on one the exterior walls of our home. We wanted it painted so that it color matched to the rest of the house. We also needed to get the entire house pressure washed. Tim Long was very professional and responsive. He came and provided me a quote right away and was also able to schedule the job right away. His team did an excellent top notch job! The wall looks great like nothing ever happened and matches perfectly. My house really needed the pressure wash and it looks beautiful! I highly recommend Tim Long Painting and would definitely use his services again in the future! read more

Had Tim back over for a second time, this time to paint a small bedroom (walls, closet and ceiling). He was able to fit in this small job right away and within two days the room was complete. Look forward to hiring him again in the future. read more

We have hired Tim and his exceptional crew to paint two houses in the last year. The attention to detail and customer satisfaction is outstanding. We recently had our new home painted inside and out. We are thrilled with the outcome! They clean up after themselves. The crew is polite, responsible, thorough, and trustworthy. We felt completely comfortable giving them access to the house while we worked. We definitely can't say that for any number of contractors! While we hope not to have to have another house painted, we wouldn't hesitate to hire Tim Long Painting again. read more

I found Tim thru a deal on Angie's List. I heard from him almost immediately (late Thursday afternoon), he was at my house Saturday to assess the situation and they started work on Monday! Wow! My house was finished on Friday and it looks amazing...he sent Robert out to my house. Robert was nice, polite and did a GREAT job. There was no mess and the place is exactly how I hoped it would be. I was having trouble wrapping my brain around something. I asked both Tim & Robert what THEY would do...they gave me the same solution and it looks awesome. Added bonus...they were willing to work with/around my cat. The other two painters I had come out to bid the job wanted me to board her. You have a cat? No problem! I would recommend these guys in a heartbeat! read more

Tim and his crew were professional throughout the process of painting the interior of our new home. They were conscious that we were still living in the home and would go out of their way to un-tape areas that we needed to get to throughout the process. I have already recommended friends and family to Tim. We will be using him for all painting projects in the future. read more

My husband and I cannot say enough about Tim Long Painting. From the initial phone call, to the final handshake, we could not be more pleased with the results and level of customer service we received from Tim and his team. I called Tim on a Friday morning to set-up a time for him to stop by and give us an estimate to paint our North Park home. By Tuesday morning, Robert and team were already hard at work. In less than a week, we ended up with a beautiful new exterior. The quality of the work was impeccable, and Tim and his team were timely and responsive to any questions we had during the process. We would certainly use Tim Long Painting again in the future, and would recommend them to anyone else who was looking to give their home a facelift. read more

I wouldn't recommend working with this company. I hired Tim to paint my entire interior house and paid him the full amount on his estimate. Tim was supposed to return to paint my bathrooms but never completed the work. I asked him for a refund for the work he didn't finish but he never gave me back my money. Also found out he's not licensed with the state of CA. read more

Very efficient and professional. Came right over for an estimate and were able to schedule the job earlier than expected. 2 guys, about 2.5 days. Very clean, crisp work. Helped explain the process and ensure the paints were correct. Tim called to verify that the job was going smoothly and checked in several times. Would definitely recommend. read more

Tim Long and his team were wonderful from start to finish. He was responsive and able to come give a bid within 24 hours and start work within the week. His team showed up promptly and were extremely curtious and respectful. Everyday they cleaned up very well. They took great pride in their work and were constantly checking in with us. They worked pretty quickly and there were always at least 2 people. Tim personally gave us great ideas and the painting turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We'd recommend their services over and over. read more

Tim long and his crew were amazing. We had to repaint our whole house as well as repair stucco. They did an incredible job. They are very thorough and anticipated and were ready for anything like rain and moisture, asked me to ask my neighbor to move their car for possible wind etc. The crew was friendly, respectful courteous and professional. I really wouldn't ever hire anybody else. This team and company Exceeded expectations. They are right within industry cost as well. I wouldn't choose cost over quality if I were you. We now will have another 10 years of beauty in our home thanks to Tim and his crew. I plan on hiring them for all our paint jobs. read more

I contacted Tim and he personally came out and gave us a quote which was competitive with the other quotes we had received. They showed up on time and the painters were so nice and friendly, which makes such a difference when you have random people hanging out in your house. They did a wonderful job and were able to add painting our bathroom cabinets at the last minute. We will definitely be calling Tim when are in a position to finish painting the house. read more

We were referred to Tim Long from a close friend and could not be happier. Professional job neat and clean. Job site swept and closed down each day respectful of the fact we had to live there with a project going on. Fence repair was perfect paint even better. Would use again. read more

Tim and his crew were excellent! They painted our exterior siding and trim, as well as our family room ceiling. His crew was incredibly thorough, but also quick in completing the job. They were very professional and also gave me great insight as to the condition of our wood. This was particularly helpful as we were about to list our house for sale and anticipated a termite inspection. Tim was competitively priced compared to the other top painting companies in the area. We wanted to do one final project on the house to really give it a boost in appearance for when it went up for sale. It did exactly that! Our house looked fantastic and sold in one day. We are thrilled that we went with Tim! read more

I highly recommend Tim. He and his crew did an excellent job painting both the interior and exterior of my home. They were prompt, detailed, and made sure I was completely satisfied. If you're looking for the highest quality craftsmanship, at a reasonable price, then Tim is your guy. They were always on time, friendly, and very professional. When it came time to do the final walk-thru, there were no touch ups needed - very impressive! read more

Tim was right on schedule for preview and crew started on-time and then finished work early! Great quality job, even when my light color paint needed 2 extra coats to cover well. Perfect lines on accent walls and cleaned up nicely. Not cheap but you get a great painting service!! read more

I hired Tim to paint my kitchen, powder room, storage closet and baseboards. I knew of his quality work from when he painted the interior of my house a few years ago. Still the same quality work that I expected. Highly recommended. read more

After I posted this review I was contacted by Tim who wanted to know what he could do to fix things. So he gets points for being willing to ask what he could do. read more

Tim was not the lowest price when I asked for bids but he was by far the best. His crew consisted of Robert as the lead and wow, what a job they did. Professional, did all I asked then decided to get rid of colors in living and dining room after the rest of the house turned out so well. They did it all, cleaned up after themselves and even went above and beyond my expectations. I can whole heartedly recommend Tim Long Painting for whatever job you have for them. You will not be sorry. read more

I referred Tim to a coworker today and it occurred to me that I failed to write a review on Yelp. Tim's crew painted my home several years ago and it still looks great! I'm very thankful I chose his company to do the work and they will be my first call for any other jobs needed. Tim oversaw all aspects of the work and supervised his crew throughout the job. HIs price was fair and the service was professional. The job was completed in a timely manner by very talented painters. Their ability to free hand edges and lines was very impressive and makes for a great transition between paint colors in arches and corners. read more

Did a great job on our house. Workers were great and had no trouble getting our high ceilings. They were very flexible and reliable. Showed up on time. read more

I was very disappointed with the the way I was treated by Tim after I asked him to stain and seal my beautiful new wood garage door. The door is for a single car garage and I was told by several contractors that the cost of staining it should be about $700-800. When I first called Tim on the phone about 2 weeks before the door was to be installed, his verbal bid was in line with these estimates, at $800 dollars, Because of his favorable reviews, I rejected other bids and I emailed him again asking for a formal written estimate and to confirm that he would be available on the day the door was to be installed, only 4-5 days later. At this very late date, he told me that he was still available for the job but that the cost would now be $2500 dollars, over 3 times the original estimate and almost the same as the cost of having the wood door constructed and installed with a new garage door opener. Because this bid was obviously ridiculous I had to tell my installers to delay putting in my door. I have now secured another bid of $800 for the job by a licensed contractor and am awaiting installation. Nonetheless, I found Tim's behavor unethical, waiting until the last minute, 3 days before Christmas no less, to more than triple his estimate. I wanted to share this experience in the hope of protecting others from this kind of bad behavior. read more

I really had a great experience with Tim Long Painting. His crew was fantastic, very neat, very helpful. I have had exterior painting done on my other homes. It really was the best exterior painting job I ever had done. I was impressed that there was not any splatter of paint. They both sprayed and rolled the stucco. I got 5 bids to do the job. I choose Tim because he has a very experienced crew and he used a higher quality of paint, so that I know it will last longer. I had some difficulty finalizing the paint colors and he and his crew were very helpful in allowing me time to decide. It is a big expence to paint and having a strong crew, really makes a difference.There were other home owners in the area that used Tim Long Painting and they were also very happy with the job. I would use them again. Laurie read more
