Ulises was amazing! He was super responsive and helpful, and even brought a color wheel to show what I would like the exterior painted. He answered all my questions in a timely manner and did an awesome job! I get compliments on the house all the time now. read more

Ulises is a miracle man. He has transformed my recently-purchased house from a sad dark prison, to a light and bright home. He is very methodical, and thorough, and has taught me a lot about painting. He does not skimp - he does it right. He is also very good human. If you need a painter, please look no further! read more

USV painted all of my walls, baseboards and refinished/painted my kitchen cabinets. Everything turned out amazing - the cleanest lines I've ever seen on walls. He is detail oriented and takes pride in his work. He is very enthusiastic when discussing about his plans with you and will school you on different shades of colors. I went along with his recommendations and do not regret it one bit. His work exceeded my expectations. His price is competitive with most in the area and is well worth it. Highly recommended! read more

Ulises just completed painting our dining room, living room, entry and staircase. It looks beautiful. This is the second project he completed for us (see review about removing wallpaper). Just like the first project, Ulises took amazing care from start to finish. The attention to detail really shows through with the final product. Ulises is a true professional painter - he sands between coats of trim, making a truly smooth surface. Each day he thoroughly cleaned up so that we were able to be dust free in the evenings. Not only is his work excellent, but he is a very nice, trustworthy and considerate person. I have two preschoolers who still nap, and Ulises was more than happy to do quieter parts of the project during nap time. We plan on hiring him again to do more rooms in the fall. I highly recommend Ulises. He's fantastic. read more

I rarely have time to write reviews anymore, but Ulises is really worth raving about. We hired him 5 years ago to repaint our kitchen cabinets and front door and it still looks fabulous. What really sets Ulises apart is his attention to detail and his passion and knowledge for painting. I have to admit, there were times my eyes would glaze over from the vast amount of information he was telling me, but that's a great thing because it means he knows his stuff! Besides being awesome at what he does he's also just a kind person. read more

I even had him paint the kitchen while he was here. I would hire him again in a flash. read more

I worked with USV Painting all through the summer and fall of 2010, and could not be happier with their work. The owner, Ulises, is absolutely meticulous and very detail-oriented. He painted my kitchen cabinets and worked with a carpenter to add trim to them. This job could have ended up looking very homemade in the hands of another painter, but Ulises did an amazing job (multiple coats of oil-based paint, sprayed on and sanded between coats) and it now looks like my kitchen has brand new, high-end cabinets. He also painted my bathroom, part of the exterior of my house, and stained some new wooden windows we had installed. In each job he demonstrated the same level of care and attention to detail. With the windows he produced multiple stain and finish samples until he found the one that matched the existing trim exactly. USV Painting will show up on time, every time, and take extra care to keep your home neat. I found their prices to be very reasonable for such a high quality of work. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Ulises and his team did an awesome job repainting the interiors of my whole house! They also removed a significant amount of wallpaper and painted the front door. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed to my level of satisfaction. Ulises was on top of everything and a pleasure to work with. read more

We were very impressed with USV Painting's work. They painted our 1955 house exterior and made our uneven and weathered fascia boards look smooth and new, as well as a clean job throughout! They also rejuvenated our 4 year old redwood fence with a nice stain that makes it look like it was just built. Not only did the finished product exceed our expectations, but the owner gave us many useful and forthright design suggestions to ensure our satisfaction and also kept us well informed of their work progress. You will be in good hands with USV! read more

Ulises just finished painting our kitchen, including hard-to-paint cabinet doors. They look great. Although it was a small job, Ulises was attentive throughout the process. He responded quickly to my phone calls, and showed up on time to appointments. The price was lower than the other bids that I got, and the project was completed on time. read more

If you want your kitchen cabinets painted, Ulises is the painter for you! We had oak cabinets and Ulises painted them white, including the inside. They look like brand new cabinets and the kitchen went from blah to wow! I went from hating our kitchen to loving our kitchen. He also painted several rooms and a few built in cabinets for us. We left Ulises with the key, went on vacation and came back to a beautiful house. He kept to his promised time line. He was extraordinarily neat and organized. He earned every dollar he was paid - I actually feel like we got more than we paid for. read more

USV painting was an incredible find! We were looking to have the interior of our house painted quickly for an upcoming event we were hosting. I had gotten two estimates before I found USV and had selected one - set-up an appointment and they never came. Desperate, I went on-line and found USV. The owner, Ulises, was responsive and flexible. Although he was working on another job, he made the time to review the job and came back with an estimate quickly. He then found a way to accomodate the room painting right away to meet the tight deadline of our event. Just to add to the challenges, the job was not straightforward. I had found some unusual paint, which he wasn't familiar with. After some experimentation, we discovered it wasn't exactly how the person who sold it to me described in regards to coverage. Ulises did some research, learned about the paint type quickly, did many trials and had several options to propose in regards to how to achieve our desired outcome. Throughout the whole process he stayed in close communication and was solutions oriented. And after the event, he finished the job meticulously. In addition, USV also did some exterior work for us - preparing and painting rusted metal railways and front cement stairs. All also meticulous. At all times, his crew were incredibly polite and courteous and every evening when returning home, everything was very clean and contained. I recommend USV HIGHLY. We would hire them again for any paint job - interior or exterior. read more

We were very lucky to get USV painting for a small job on what may have been the hottest Saturday in recent memory. A highly professional job from start to finish. We were contacted regarding the bid and arrangements for when the painting would take place. We have somewhat restricted hours, but that was not a problem. From start to finish this was a high level craftsman level operation. We would be delighted to have them at our location again, and recommend USV painting for any size job. read more

I hired USV painting when I first moved to Rockridge a couple of years ago. A friend recommended them and it turns out he had previously worked with my interior designer. I highly recommend them now as well. They do a great job, are very professional, fair prices, are fast and clean and are just a pleasure to deal with. The owner Ulises is the best. I recently hired them again to paint my children's rooms and got the same fantastic work, so I am confident they are consistent. The work they did is a great quality and I doubt I will need to redo it anytime soon. But if I do, I will gladly ask for their services again. read more
