Jeff The Painter

Jeff’s a nice guy but it seemed like after landing the job to paint the interior of my home his primary goal was to get out as quickly as possible and to supply as little paint as possible. His primary goal was NOT to provide the services that he originally quoted me. I had to insist on the two coats he had quoted me in numerous places in the home and in the end there are still rooms where the old paint is showing through. The first day his crew came in to paint there were 4 painters on the job and I was pleased with the work at the end of the day. But as the job went on, each day, there were fewer painters until there was only one painter on the job for the last day or two. Jeff came by once to twice a day to hurry along his painters and to supply paint but never really inspected their work. I had to do it myself and got constant push-​back when I asked that the work he’d quoted me be completed. I even had to insist that a bathroom they’d painted with a matte sheen be repainted with the semigloss we’d agreed on. I also had to insist multiple times that they tape off or use drop cloths to protect surfaces that shouldn’t get paint on them. A couple of his painters seemed like they wanted to do a quality job but Jeff pressured them to get things done quickly which showed in their work. All the door trim and baseboards were supposed to be painted as part of the job but I found numerous places that hadn’t been painted or were coated so thin that the old dingy colors still show through. Jeff never checked to make sure the work he quoted me was completed.
To add insult to injury his painters got paint on numerous items that shouldn’t have paint on them including…
Mini-​blinds
Light switches
Tile floors
Hardwood floors
If I had it to do again I’d hire someone else.

Jeff and his team did a great job painting the inside of my house! They were right on time, friendly and careful handling and covering the furniture. I was a little curious how they would handle my vaulted ceilings with the kitchen cabinets forcing them into awkward angles, but they took care of business, no problem.
They moved really quickly without sacrificing quality. I was working from home and could hear them pointing out spots they weren’t happy with. How’s that for proactive? They are perfectionists and you can tell they take pride in their work. I’m so happy with the results, I walked around the house looking for other potential projects.
The minute they left, I sent a friend Jeff’s number. I’ll be passing it on to anyone who asks and definitely calling next year when we’re ready to paint the outside.
Thanks Jeff & Team!

Our house was painted recently (9÷16−23, 2013) by Jeff the Painters crew. The three person crew were on time, very cordial and accommodating and interacted with each other very well.
Our house is a wood sided structure and difficult to paint, but Jeff’s crew did an extremely good job in the preparation and painting. We are very pleased.

I recently bought an investment property in Escondido CA and needed the services of a house painter. I do not live in the area and was very concerned about having to deal with contractors. I was referred to Jeff the Painter by my real estate agent. Jeff showed up on the agreed time and date, explained my options for paint and gave me an estimate right one the spot. Three days later the crew showed up and did a full interior repaint. The house looks great and is ready for new tenants. I would also add they did a great job with the clean up.
