I texted Tim to see if he does deck staining and he immediately replied that he does. We made…read morearrangements for him to come by and size up the job. After doing so, he emailed me a bid for materials and labor. I let him know that I was happy to have him do the work. Tim is a solo act, so we had to wait our turn. I occasionally texted him just to ensure we were still on his radar. Tim was always responsive and when our job was next he let me know. Tim came exactly when he said he would to power wash the deck. He did a thorough and careful job. Tim returned the next day to do the staining. He did a magnificent job. His technique left our deck looking better than it ever has when we or another painter have done the staining. He also carefully applied the stain, protecting our flagstone walkway and house from splatter. My best advice is to plan ahead and call Tim for your painting and staining needs. You may have to wait to get your job done if he has other jobs already in the pipeline, but he is worth the wait. Tim's price was fair, he is a very pleasant person, and he does excellent work.

As mentioned in another review, indeed, Tim is the man! He's not only a consummate professional,…read morebut he's also a great human being! :) He does a fantastic job and really cares about his customers -- just what it was like in the good old days ;) If anyone asks me to refer a painter, he'd be the only one I'd refer. We were so glad to find him. Thanks Tim!

Jeff made an immediate strong first impression with me through his quick response and professionalism in looking at our home and giving a competitive bid. I could tell he was experienced by his knowledge of what it would take to do a quality job and the length of time it would take to complete the project. My wife and I agreed to go with his bid and we are very pleased with the outcome. Jeff was a joy to work with and really takes the extra effort required to do quality painstaking work. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone that wants quality work done at a good competitive price.

I got one bid for sanding and repainting in certain places. Then Tony Machado came to give me a bid. He talked me out of doing any painting. He explained that I should wait a few years, that the issues are minor and won't hurt my old growth redwood siding at all. It's more complicated than this simple explanation, but let's just say that he saved me a load of money and talked himself out of some income. That's a rare, honest worker. I'll surely use the Machado Brothers when the time comes to paint.

Excellent paint job by these guys and their employees Clayton and Mike. Highly recommended.read more

We recently had the exterior of our house painted by Brian Bellemore and Company... and couldn't be…read morehappier with the experience and the results. Brian is incredibly conscientious and has an outstanding attention to detail. He and his crew were professional, hardworking, and fastidious. They kept the work area clean throughout the entire project. We also appreciated the care Brian and his crew took working around our beloved koi pond -- everything was handled thoughtfully and carefully, and not a single koi was disturbed. Brian's insights and advice during the planning process were extremely valuable and helped us make better decisions along the way. Communication and follow-up were excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that he and his team genuinely cared about the quality of the work, and our satisfaction and convenience. Another huge advantage was Brian's network of other skilled tradespeople, which ended up being very helpful for our project. On top of all that, his pricing was more than reasonable for the level of service and craftsmanship we received. We highly recommend Brian Bellemore and his team to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented and approachable painter who truly takes pride in his work. - Larry and Donna

Their attention to detail was great and they were so pleasant that it wasn't a hardship at all to have them in our home for several days. Brian noticed some areas around the windows that needed some work before painting so, with our consent, he contacted a dry wall expert for us. That was very helpful and facilitated getting the painting done in a timely manner. We also had carpet replaced while Brian and his team were here. Brian also worked with the carpet installer to coordinate their days on site and to make sure baseboards were painted and ready to go when the carpet was installed. Overall, a great experience. Brian and his team worked well with us and also with others who were working in our home at the same time. We'd definitely recommend Bellemore Painting.

When we started, we didn't know what colors we wanted to use, but Gregory was there to help us throughout the entire design process, present and creative, suggesting unique details like a wood-look painting technique on closet doors and a special artsy detail on the outside of our house- a beautiful rising sun. Our home is unique and colorful in the best of ways thanks to his consultation and guidance. His team is professional and friendly. Having children around we are always concerned about having professionals in our home who are respectful and trustworthy. His painters are exactly that. If you happen to find Gregory, consider yourself lucky- he's a gem in Santa Cruz!

Full disclosure: when Gregory first explained his process for picking paint colors to us, I was a…read morebit of a skeptic. My initial thought was "I don't need a therapy session to pick paint colors, I just want some shade of blue for the house and white for the trim". ‍ But then we had our paint picking session with Gregory, and it was SO helpful. (And no it's not a "therapy session" - it's just a very thorough conversation about color options where he helps guide you to discovering what is the best color choice for you). By the end of it, we'd decided on a color I had not initially been considered (a lovely blueish teal), which I had worried would be too dark, or too similar to the home's previous color. But it wasn't too dark at all, is definitely not too similar to the color we had before, and it looks absolutely gorgeous! We couldn't be happier with the results. Gregory was wonderful to work with, and his team did an excellent job. I'd highly recommend them!
