Just had the exterior of my house painted. Jason, the contractor is very professional, personable and thorough. He quickly saw the trouble spots, had solutions and didn't try to over-sell me on work I did not want or feel was needed. He was punctual and fast to provide his proposal. His painter, Johnny, is excellent. He obviously took pride in his work, was also fast and punctual. Johnny also found trouble spots I had missed and did an excellent job of repairing/painting those spots and the entire house. Johnny was also professional, personable and seemed very trust-worthy. A great team doing great work. read more

Jason and his team were amazing. For the quality and price you can't get any better than using Watercolors. I would recommend them to anyone looking at getting any painting done give Jason a call and you won't be sorry. I will be using them again on any future work. Thank you Jason and team! read more

We had an office that needed to be painted over an existing color. We bid this out to several businesses and Jason was very responsive. Javier who did the paint work was extremely hard working, professional and thorough. We are very happy with the finished result! Thank you Watercolors for a stress free process! read more

We hired another contractor just because we could get it done quickly but Jason should be contacted if you need painting. He is responsive and capable read more

Jason and his crew are first rate! Jason came out right away to give us a quote and had his team get right to work as soon as we wanted. Jason helped every step of the way whenever we had questions or wanted to adjust the work on the job. They were on time and got everything done very quickly on a very difficult house to paint. They were conscientious of our property and cleaned up everything like they were never there. The house looks fantastic and we would not be happier. We will be calling them anytime we need any painting done. read more

Jason and his team were amazing! Reliable, on-time, neat and thorough! We had smoke damage as well as plumbing repair evidence that required lots of patching and a tough primer before painting. Jason and his team took care of business! The color is great and you would never know what happened! I would definitely recommend Watercolors and am looking forward to repeating my business with him! read more

We had Jason and his team paint the front of our house this summer. Everything went as promised and his team, Xavier & Chon, were a pleasure to work with. I'd like to thank them too for going beyond what was the pure letter of the agreed-to work. Quality work, highly recommended, and we shall certainly use them again. read more

I had some painting done by watercolors. They were perfect: careful, thorough, fast, friendly, responsive... perfect

I cannot recommend "Watercolors" highly enough. Jason and his team took on a tough job in painting the exterior of our stucco house that had been covered in vines. They were willing to work with us and figure out the best way to prep the house for painting. Jason and team lead, Carlos, were so knowledgeable and gave us great suggestions. They were also patient and sensitive in letting us decide what we wanted to do in terms of colors and approach. Pricing was reasonable and fair, they were always on time, and what an amazingly high quality job they did! The team definitely took pride in their work. The result was more beautiful than I imagined it could be. read more

If you read the reviews on local painters in Aptos, only Jason from Watercolors Paint has all positive ones. Not one review is negative. That is not the case for other painters. This is because Jason cares about the customer and wants them to be fully satisfied with his work. If you choose Watercolors to paint your home or business, you will be very pleased with the results! For couples, where each has their separate opinions, Jason is your man. He got along great with both of us, helped us choose colors for the exterior of our house (yes, he really made choosing colors easy for us), and he gave a fair estimate for the work. Jason is a down-to-earth, honest guy with a sense of humor. He treats you with respect as he does his employees. He does not rush them with their work. He provides worker's compensation insurance which is important for people working up on ladders. His lead painter, Carlos, is the reason the work comes out flawless. Carlos' pride, work ethic, and attention to detail shows in his work. He is thorough in prepping the house before painting. When we pointed out details we wanted, Carlos was there to do it. We would use Watercolors again in a heartbeat for more painting jobs. Even though we were not his only customer, Jason responded to calls or texts in a timely manner, his painters cleaned up the area after each day's work, and you can see that Jason is grateful for your business. We have had a lot of work done on our house this past year. What is now very clear is how important it is that the people doing work on our house treat us with respect and are honest, in addition to doing good work. When we look at the work that was done on our precious home and remember the people who did it, it feels good. P.S. Jason promised to deliver a quart of the trim paint color, and he did, even after we paid him for the entire paint job! That is an honest man. read more

Jason and his team did an amazing job.They painted our new garage door and our interior ceilings. I will be recommending Watercolors to all my friends and family. Outstanding job! read more

Jason's crew did a beautiful job on the interior of my condo in Santa Cruz. I highly recommend this company!

We were very, very pleased with Jason and his team of painters. We needed the entire interior of my father-in-laws house painted, year's of smokers in the house plus multiple room colors (some rooms had up to three shades of purples and another room had light blue walls and a dark blue ceiling). All I knew was I wanted all the walls and the ceiling to be white and I honestly didn't care which shade of white. Jason suggested we go with Frost which we did and it looks great, plus it's one of Kelley Moore's stock colors so we will never need to worry about having to mix paint for future jobs since the house is going to be rented. After Jason was done my husband and I walked in the house and it looked normal the way you would expect a house to look and it took Jason asking what we thought to realize that it had been painted. Please keep in mind nothing about the inside of this house was normal when Jason started and when he was finished it looked like you would expect a house to look. Would I hire Jason again, absolutely, he's a great guy, very honest, knows his craft very well and has very reasonable pricing. read more

Well, Watercolors, just finished our house and it looks Great! Carlos and Javier did a fantastic job with attention to detail and we are so pleased with their work! Jason worked well with us in terms of explaining all that was entailed in painting our house! Highly recommend Watercolors to paint your house! Armando read more

Watercolors Panting is highly professional, offering impressive guidance and work. I am delighted with the recent exterior painting of my house. Jason the owner takes the time to listen: my goals, expectations, and concerns. Communication is excellent, characterized by clarity, understanding and considerable patience when I had questions. Having a great sense of colors and shades, Jason offered invaluable advice on choosing colors as well as how to use samples. The staff provided meticulous preparation, highly welcome given my disappointments with previous painting work. The painting itself resulted in a lovely finish, and work was accomplished with an eye to efficiency, given weather uncertainties, but always with an equal eye to detail. Watercolors made it clear that the customer's happiness is the goal. I am very happy and look forward to having the interior of the house painted in the future. Highly recommended! read more

I am a little late in posting about a paint job that Watercolors did for me. I had three outside shade structures that were in terrible condition with peeling paint and very rough lumber. They power washed everything and then sanded all three structures very extensively. They then painted everything with 2 coats of paint and it looks great. They also painted a bedroom and bathroom and this was done very nicely with very fine detail. Very easy to work with. read more

These folks are terrific. Jason was super responsive and was able to have his team come in for the work very quickly. He helped me pick out colors and sheens, got the paint, and even helped with a poster project for the room. Everything looks great, no messes. Couldn't be happier. read more

I have a commercial space downtown. Jason and his crew were great! With a time crunch and an unusual situation, Jason fit me in. He is very professional and has a professional crew. They were early and ready to work. The job was done as requested, exceeding my expectations. Well done-Beautiful work! read more

Working with Jason and his team was a great experience. We've been homeowners for 30 years, and unfortunately, I can't say that about most of the contractors who have worked on our homes. Either the job takes much longer than planned (because they are simultaneously working on six other jobs), they don't consult with the homeowner often enough because they are in such a rush, they use the wrong materials, or their craftsmanship is sub-par. Jason's team convinced me that it IS possible to have a very positive experience with a contractor! While painting the entire exterior of our home as well as part of the interior, the team communicated with us every step of the way, worked all day every day, used the appropriate type of paint for each area (including special areas such as the porch), and were always polite, neat, and friendly. Jason was very patient with us in choosing the colors, and we couldn't be happier with the results. His prices were fair and reasonable. They were not the lowest price out there, in part because Jason carries workers' comp insurance for his workers. If you have ever seen a painter working on the roof line of a two-story house, you'll know that having insurance protection in case of an accident is very important. Contractors are required to carry insurance for their employees, but many (if not most) of them don't; they tell the licensing board that they don't have any employees, which is not true. Personally, I don't care to work with a dishonest contractor. In addition to painting the house, Jason referred us to a great guy who fixed some areas of dry rot on the house. We liked him so much that we asked him to repair our deck while he was here. Also, one day when it was raining and the painters couldn't paint, they offered to pressure wash our deck for a reasonable price and did a great job on it. We highly recommend hiring Jason and his team for your next painting project. Thanks, Watercolors! read more

Jason and his team were amazing. We were very impressed with Jason's prompt responses to emails and phone calls and his willingness to immediately come out to see the house and prepare a quote. His pricing was very competitive and he started the job quickly. We were very pleased with his crew and the quality of their work. Jason and Carlos (foreman) both did a full walk through to inspect the work at the end and were very open to any last small changes we requested. We were so happy with Jason's work that we have already recommended him to multiple friends and family members. We would hire him in a heartbeat again! read more

Showed up on time. Very patient and communicative as I waffled back and forth about color, scheduling, etc. Didn't leave a mess. Got everything done in a timely and professional manner. And now my two bedrooms and my living room look soooooo much better. Thanks Jason! read more

Jason and his team were fantastic: professional and friendly, on-time and fast! I was impressed with the quality of work, and the price was fair. I will work with Watercolors again next time I need a fresh coat! read more

Thorough, polite, detail oriented with extra attention to detail. I am very happy with the work Watercolor did on the exterior of the house. Thanks Watercolor! read more

Jason did a great job for a reasonable price. His crew sprayed and rolled our stucco so it was covered completely and gave it two coats so it should last. They painted the narrow pieces of wood around each small window pane and made sure all the paint was cleaned off the glass. I would use them again for another project. All the neighbors love it! Sheila C. read more

Watercolors Painting......awesome, efficient, very reasonable price. My exterior looks beautiful!

Jason and his team just finished painting 2 bedrooms for us. We couldn't be happier. I requested several estimates over Yelp, and all responded in a timely way. Jason, though, didn't dillydally over an estimate. He gave us a loose ballpark, confirmed with a formal estimate by email, and followed up with phone calls. He's professional, low-key and friendly. We appreciated that he squeezed us in to meet our time-frame. He and his team were tidy, fast, and did a beautiful job. We'll definitely use Jason's company again. Thanks! read more

Jason and crew repainted our house recently and, again, I was struck by the quality of the prep work, spray washing all surfaces, caulking or recaulking all exposed seams, and generally making sure everything was ready before painting even began. His crew was personable and efficient, cleaned up after themselves each day and left nothing behind at the end of the job. We couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work and with having Jason and crew working on our house for the time it took to complete the task. read more

Jason painted the entire interior including trim of a recently purchased townhouse for me. He was everything you want in a skilled contractor. His price is very fair, he stays in touch regarding his progress, shows up when he says he will, and keeps the job site clean. The results were excellent! He will be painting my home in Capitola later this year. read more

One very satisfied customer. I contacted several painting contractor for estimates to repaint the interior great room and repair the wooden windowsills that had been damaged by a German shepherd. Jason returned my initial voicemail immediately to set up an appointment for the estimate. He was prompt, professional and easy to work with. Billy completed the actual painting and the professionalism extended to Jason's employees. The work was meticulously completed. I felt Billy and Jason made every attempt to meet and exceed my expectations. Throughout the project I felt Jason was honest and reliable and I will not hesitate to call them for future painting projects. read more

It was a pleasure working with Jason and his crew. Jason was always responsive to emails and phone calls. He showed up when he said he would and he had helpful observations about colors. We're very pleased with the job he did painting the exterior of our house. All work was done in a timely manner and for a reasonable price. read more

I had a very small painting job and was so pleased that Jason agreed to work it in between other jobs. Most other places wouldn't even call me back. Despite the small job, Jason came out personally and very carefully listened to what I needed. His crew did a great job and Jason followed up to make sure I was happy with the finished work. I would use Watercolors again! read more

Jason, Max and crew were great. They banged the job out as Jason promised they could, and our two-story 1920's four square turned out great! Thanks guys! read more

Watercolors did a great job cleaning and painting our two-story house. I loved the color and the site was left clean and in good order. We ran into a need to have repair work done on the sofits once the house was pressure washed and I needed to secure someone to do that quickly, but I was very happy with the results. read more

I would recommend Jason's work to anyone. He was a clear communicator and made sure that he understood what I needed. He went beyond what most would have done to be helpful. He is sensitive to causing as little disruption as possible so he gets the work done quickly without sacrificing quality. I was impressed by his interactions with his worker. He was clear, respectful and supportive towards him while making sure he conducted himself according to Jason's own professional standards. read more

We selected Watercolors for the exterior painting of our home based on favorable Yelp reviews and schedule availability. The price was also reasonable. Jason and his crew were easy to work with, understood the scope of work, and made helpful suggestions. The job was performed in a few days; the workmanship was excellent. read more

Jason and his colleague did a great job painting my new apartment. He got back to me within 1 hour after I left a message telling him what I was looking for. Then he set up an appointment with me to go over specific colors and the job was done by the end of the week! Not only is he a perfectionist in his work but he is also good at advising you on what colors to use when thinking about painting. I would highly recommend him for any sort of painting job you are thinking of doing. read more

Jason on the team did what they said they were going to do. They showed up on time and completed the job on budget and on time. They cleaned up after themselves. So many contractors don't show up and don't call back. Jason communicated well. I highly recommend him. I had them do two inside rooms and an outside job read more
