We've been waiting for our city to finally give us the go-ahead on a small addition and got tired…read moreof looking at the ugly old faded paint job, cracked stucco, and peeling paint on the eaves of our home. We were going to have the paint job done as part of the addition/renovation, but after almost a year and a half with no progress, we decided to get the exterior painted so it's in better condition and MUCH prettier to look at in the meantime. Our contractor for the addition had quoted $20K for the paint job, which seemed exorbitant. I called the painting company who had painted our previous house 4 years ago, and he beat that by $4K, which was a vast improvement but still a bit of a financial pinch. I contacted Aqua, and Mohamad came out pretty quickly. He did a thorough walk-around to see what we needed done and where the problem areas were - and there were A LOT of problem areas. The previous owners had neglected this place for quite a while, and there was even one exterior wall that they hadn't bothered to paint at all on their most recent DIY job of it. It had a chalky peach color paint that came off on the finger when we rubbed at it. Mohamad described all the work they'd do to prep the surfaces properly and the paints they would use for a durable paint job. Then he gave us a written estimate with all of the prep, painting, and cleaning steps delineated clearly. I was hoping we'd be able to save a little more, or at least get a comparison to know we weren't overpaying our previous company. Mohamad beat their price by over $3500K for the basic paint. It was $800 more for the premium paint. We jumped right on that and got scheduled for the paint job. They ended up having room in their schedule to start a week sooner. His crew came out and got right to work prepping. They worked quickly but with precision, getting eaves sanded and primed, getting rid of the old peeling stucco, and patching where needed. We'd also asked them to remove the old metal awning over the bay window in front. When they did, they discovered some of the trim had deteriorated, and they replaced it at no additional cost. The quality of their work was excellent, and we were thrilled with the results. My husband also said that afterward it was by the cleanest we've ever had workers leave our property. If you're considering Aqua, I can't recommend them highly enough.

Arteen is an owner-operator who takes pride in his work, and the quality shows. We've had many paint jobs done in different homes over the years, and his attention to detail really stood out. He was careful to keep everything clean before and after painting. For example, he removed every light switch, outlet, and fixture, cleaned them, and carefully put everything back. We were impressed enough with his attention to detail that we also asked him to take care of some additional home improvement work that wasn't related to painting. He was flexible about working around other vendors who were in the home at the same time, and he communicated clearly throughout the project. We always knew when he would be there, what he planned to accomplish, and what had been completed. He is also a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to have around. We would definitely recommend Arteen and will certainly call him again for future projects.

He was punctual for the estimate, gave a good price, and was extremely caring in the process. We had new floors put in right before he started and he took excellent care of them. He generally took excellent care of our home. As the project progressed we turned to him for color recommendations and also asked him to do a few additional small paint and wall repair projects around the house. He gave us a more than fair price on the added work and continued to be so thorough and attend to all the details. He's a bit of a perfectionist in exactly the way you want someone to be when they are painting your house. His whole crew was very skillful. We found two minor mistakes along the way and as soon as we pointed them out, they fixed them the next day. And on top of all that, he's so sweet. Just a stand up guy. Even though I was looking for a fair and low price because we had all these unexpected repairs due to mold, when the project ended I figured out how to give him a big tip because I was just so pleased to work with someone so great. I wish I could have paid him more. (I know I sounds crazy.) You'd be lucky to have this man come into your home and work with you. He treated us like family and I'll certainly be recommending him to all my friends and family who need interior paint work.
