Paintmasters

I recently had the pleasure of hiring The PaintMasters to paint my entry door and I am beyond impressed with the final result! Not only did they do an excellent job with the painting itself, but their communication was top-notch throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure that I was completely satisfied before considering the job done. Even after the initial painting was complete, they returned to finish up the trim work to ensure that everything looked perfect. Despite their high level of quality and customer service, their prices are surprisingly competitive. I highly recommend The PaintMasters for anyone looking for a professional painting job that won't break the bank.

I've done a lot of home renovation projects during my decade of owning Bay Area houses and Paintmasters was my favorite company I've worked with on any large-scale project!

The scope of the project was to completely re-texture the walls in my 1200 sq feet Walnut Creek home (transitioning from an ugly “orange peel” to “smooth”) and then paint everything including walls, ceilings, doors and trims. I called a lot of companies on yelp and really struggled to find anyone competent both in retexturing and painting. Painting was relatively easy to find but the companies that specialized in retexturing seemed unsure of their ability to handle the scale of an entire house rather just a few walls or a room. An added challenge was that I knew from prior similar projects that retexturing and painting the interior of a home turns the house into an unlivable construction zone so picking two separate companies to do texturing and painting would make the timeline harder to coordinate and I’d be out of my home longer. I really wanted a super competent company who could handle it all for me and get it done as quickly as possible and that’s where Paintmasters stepped in and really shined.

I had 5 companies come to quote the project who had all said on the phone that they could handle it but upon arrival, only 3 companies felt they could do the job. When I first met Brian from Paintmasters, he immediately set me at ease. He listened to the struggles and concerns I’d had from previous painting/texturing projects gone wrong, and explained in detail the ways Paintmasters would prevent those problems and make this a streamlined experience. In the end, the Paintmasters price came in the middle of the 3 price quotes I’d received but I decided to pick them over a cheaper alternative because of Brian’s excellent customer service and the promises he made (that he kept!).

One other thing that set Paintmasters apart was their commitment to include a high-end process for painting the interior doors throughout my home. They removed the doors and took them to their shop where they had a machine evenly spray both sides. This made all the difference in how amazing they look! So much better than if they’d brushed, rolled, or hand-sprayed them on-site like all the other companies planned to do.

The first phase of the project was the retexturing which was done by Gonzalo and Abraham, who were both very professional and hard-working. They had a whole team of guys who were there every day (sometimes even weekends) to get the drywall done as quickly as possible and it was really amazing how quickly they went!
The second phase of the project was painting which was done by Chris, the foreman, and his team of painters. Chris was a great guy and so easy and nice to work with. He drove his team to paint every corner of my house with total precision and care. I visited the house daily and checked in with Chris for feedback and he was so accommodating of my requests. He responded to every nitpick I had with a smile and a great attitude which was so appreciated!
A third phase was that I’d forgotten some of my closet doorways were damaged when I’d first bought the house and Brian was nice enough to offer a solution to repair them for a reasonable price. He brought in his carpenter, Roberto, who was able to install all-new casings for a couple doors which made them look brand new, all without delaying the overall project completion!

Throughout all phases of the project, Brian managed every little thing every day with ease. For over a month, he kept in contact with me daily, was so responsive to my requests, and was always just a text message away for any questions. He made the project easy, which was like night-and-day with the previous contractor I’d worked with for a similar project in San Jose. Brian had committed the project would take 5 weeks, but I ended up able to move back in a little over 4 weeks which made my family so happy! I couldn’t be happier with his service and management of the project!

Phenomenal, is all I can say about Paintmasters work and attention to detail. We waited a long time to have our kitchen cabinets painted and wow are we grateful we chose Paintmaster to paint our cabinets after meeting with other companies. David and his crew were so professional from start to finish and they were extremely considerate of our kitchen area. Also David the owner checked in everyday on the job. Best crew i have ever dealt with. Do yourself a favor if you have painting jobs only call David right away.

I hired Paintmasters because I needed a contractor that could paint the kitchen cabinets as well as the interior walls. David immediately impressed me with his fast communication and clear plan for the scope of the work. Brian is *amazing* with colors and both are very detailed oriented--an important quality in any contractor. I couldn't be happier with the work they completed. I had them change the color of our kitchen island from a stained wood to dark blue--not an easy task! David and Brian worked relentlessly to make this perfect, not only to me, but according to their own high standards. During the walk through, they noticed small flaws that I didn't even catch and touched up everything to perfection. Each member of their crew was professional and took pride in their work. I hired them to paint the exterior of our home a year later and would hire them again in a heartbeat for any future jobs. DO NOT HESITATE to hire these talented and kind painters.

We had an issue with the quality of a door we ordered. David went WAY above and beyond to handle everything with the door company and get it fixed. The quality also looks amazing and I am convinced we wouldn't have it done properly without him. Highly recommended.

We worked with Paintmasters to have our upper kitchen cabinets painted. From the instance I got a call back from Brian he was very professional, provided a quote immediately, talked about the entire process along with timeline. The project took 2 weeks and Beto & Moses were onsite to prep & paint. They were professional, cleaned up after the end of each day and did a final cleaning on their last day. I will definitely use them again for future projects.

Paintmasters was absolutely wonderful from start to finish:) Dave Miles and his crew are professionals for sure, and did an excellent job painting our new front door:)

I love working with the Paintmaster crew! They have painted my house inside and out (interior in 2019, exterior in 2022, and new door in 2023). They always do great work and care about my happiness as a customer. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian and the team at Paintmasters. We painted both the interior and exterior of our home in San Ramon. Brian is patient, kind, responsive and very proactive in communicating. We have a 40+ year old home so we had to remediate stucco leaks and dry rot. Paintmasters provided third party resources so we didn't have to stop work and find them ourselves. We were very impressed with the quality of work and the cleanliness throughout the project. I would highly recommend Paintmasters. Thank you for a job well done.

I highly recommend Paintmasters for their high quality work and very responsive, efficient communication before, during and after the job. I hired Paintmasters to paint new interior doors, casings and baseboards and they did an excellent job. They coordinated the delivery with Dolan’s, they kept the work area clean, they took care to protect my new flooring during the work, and they were flexible with minor scope changes. When I recently needed some additional work on short notice, they squeezed me in — a testament to their commitment to customer service!

My GC hired Paintmasters for our master suite remodel. They did such a good job, we hired them to paint the exterior of our house. Dave is very informed about paints and keeps up with the latest technologies. Brian was very patient in helping us pick out a paint color for our exterior.

I worked with Brian and his crew to repaint and refinish our cabinets. He was terrific in providing updates about the timing of the work. The end product was great - Brian meticulously ensured the cabinets were done properly. They take great pride in their work and no detail is too small. Highly recommend!

Paintmasters did an exceptional job with painting the entire interior of our 1940s Berkeley home, as well as doing wallpaper removal, drywall repair, trim installation, and cabinet painting. From the time we first reached out (and got a prompt response on Yelp) through completion of project, everyone we worked with was friendly, professional and detail oriented.

Brian was an outstanding project manager - knowledgable, responsive, and provided updates every step of the way. The crew, including Beto, Jeff and Juan, is very skilled and did a great job. Beto, who was the lead on our project, is skilled not only at interior painting but also at drywall repair, cabinet painting, and trim installation, which was a huge value add not to have to hire another company for those services. We also had positive interactions with Dave, the owner, and with Eloise and Sarah, who manage the office.

Dave's brother, Dan, refaces cabinets through Cabinetmasters, a sister company to Paintmasters. We decided to reface our old cabinets with new shaker doors and replace all the drawer mechanisms with new soft close glides, so they look and feel like new. Paintmasters coordinated the project well with Cabinetmasters to make the process seamless. They were able to install the new drawers and paint the cabinets while we were out of town to minimize disruption.

The team was receptive to feedback along the way, and did a final walkthrough and touch ups at the end to make sure everything was completed to perfection. I am glad we found Paintmasters and were able to work with them to transform the interior of our new home.

Paintmasters did an awesome, above and beyond job. I obtained three bids for this scope of work, and we chose them because David, the owner, took the time to make design and color suggestions, as well as how we might save money. He ‘gets’ color, which is very important when you’re renewing the façade of a business. He takes the personal approach, and they weren’t the most expensive of our bids, which was a bonus.

David was able to accommodate our critical dates of painting the buildings during the time the business was closed for vacation. When that date came, a big crew came on time, every day. David was very hands on, checking in with me and his workers at least twice a day during the entire project, which lasted a month. I’ve done renovation projects before, and it was a relief not to have to point things out or awkwardly guide the crew myself.

Our buildings hadn’t been painted since they were built 33 years ago, so there was an extreme amount of preparation and many surprises – drywall repair, stucco patching, scraping and water damage repair. They went above and beyond on preparation all around. We needed a roof repair guy, and he referred me to a responsive professional who will also be my go-to guy for the future.

As timing would have it, it stormed six days out of seven while the business was closed. They worked on the inside during that time, but the one day it was sunny, David had enough forethought to paint the part of the exterior that would affect the business most. Sounds like a no-brainer, but in my experience not as common as we’d think. They also accommodated our adds even though it added more days to the job, which can be difficult manpower-wise, but they were able to stay and get the job done, handling pressure from the person who runs the business with grace.

Lastly, they sent invoices that were clear and concise, with the ability to pay online. Easy!

I would absolutely call Paintmasters for any future paint needs.

I called PaintMasters when we needed to touch up our house before selling it. Our walls were showing years of wear with scratches, holes, and discolorations. One of our beautiful wooden doors had been scratched up by our dog. PaintMasters was a great choice for this job to refresh the house. They were fast, professional and reasonably priced. They do good work!

Paintmasters did a great job on our exterior last year. Brian and team were on time, knowledgeable, kind, and do excellent work. We will definitely work with them again.

Paintmasters is extremely professional. They are quick, responsive and have a staff that is very willing and able to tackle any painting project thrown their way. I highly recommend Paintmasters for any future painting projects you may have!

I have always had a great experience working with Paintmasters. I really appreciate the clear communication and high quality of work. I couldn't recommend Paintmasters more to my friends for all painting needs!!!

They are by FAR, the best team I have ever used. David and his team have done multiple projects inside and out and in all cases- beautiful work- great value-very professional-on time. Absolutely AWSOME!

This Company has helped me in multiple ways including a lot of friends who worked for this company! I highly recommend Paintmasters over every other paint company not only because the reasonable prices but the professional quality!

Don’t waste your time anywhere else!
