Jonathan Bassil Painting

Jonathan and his team, Rich and Tim prepped, did wood repair, and painted 2 coats on the trim and body on the exterior of our house in Novato. They also power washed and stained the deck.
Jonathan and Rich were incredibly professional, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.
I highly recommend them as your painting
contractors.

It’s been almost four years since Jonathan painted my house, and I am still totally happy. The quality of the work has stood up over time, and I definitely appreciate his care and effort in the nooks and crannies around the house. I figured it was worth an update on Unilocal

So glad Jonathan Bassil Painting was available to stain/​seal our redwood fence.
Jonathan brought some sample stains and what he recommended ended up being our choice.
He was extremely careful with our neighbors property.
Important note: Jonathan Bassil is great to work with, he makes the process easy.
I will upload pictures tomorrow.

Jonathan responded quickly to my phone call for an estimate to paint most of the first floor. He showed up on time for the estimate, asked me detailed questions, took notes, discussed options. That evening he gave me the estimate. We decided to go with Jonathan based on his Unilocal reviews without getting estimates from anyone else. He showed up on time, had all of his supplies (uncommon in my experience) and set right to work. He works efficiently, deliberately, and ZIP! gets the job done! He has a steady hand with perfect edging. He was on time every day, totally cleaned up, and we’re happily enjoying a lovely paint job!

We chose Jonathan to paint our living room about a year ago. I appreciated that Jonathan was responsive, easy to talk with, and took us seriously with a relatively small job. His work was great. Clean, efficient, good attention to detail, and good communication through out the job. Price was fair, not the least expensive, not the most. I’m having Jonathan back to paint our rental unit this month.

Jonathan was able to work with a tight schedule and transform the inside of our home from a post-​asbestos removal scene to a polished, clean and beautiful interior! For first time home-​owners, Jonathan’s guidance was much appreciated: advice on how to handle everything from closet spaces to floor boards– His attention to detail has been admired by all of our visitors.

Jonathan:
1. returns calls quickly
2. bids competitively
3. tells you in detail what he’s going to do
4. does what he told you he’s going to do
What more can anyone ask for in a contractor?

Jonathan transformed our old deck into a beautiful oasis! We had neglected our deck for several years but Jonathan really took the time and attention to detail to bring it back to life! Not only is he a really nice guy but he was very accommodating with scheduling, was on time every day and finished the job when he said he would. I couldn’t be happier and I will definitely be calling him for future projects.

Jonathan painted two bedrooms for me and did a fantastic job. The paint color turned out perfectly too. He was clean, prompt and very thorough. Great!

I tasked Jonathan with 4 projects on my property. 2 were done exceptionally well and 2 were extremely disappointing.
The good: Jonathan did a good job power washing outdoor balconies and stairs. He also did a wonderful job staining the front door of our house.
The bad: Jonathan did a terrible job staining the garage door. It looks uneven, unappealing and I’ve already contracted a new person to strip out his work and start again. Jonathan also delivered an incomplete job staining the front of the house. He blames the uneven stain on the previous stain job. I find that ridiculous! The house shingles were stained 9 years ago and when you’re asked to stain them again you’re supposed to power wash them first and make sure they’re clean and even before applying the stain. Here too, I am contracting a professional company to fix his mistakes.
The reviews claim exceptional attention to details and I question that! I have at least 4 areas Jonathan left behind with the following:
1-​Permanent oil stain on the balcony tiles post power washing.
2-​Oil stains on some of the window trims and door trims.
3-​Major oil stains on the main stairs leading to the house.
4-​Broken roof tiles from power washing left in the backyard for me to pick up.
Lastly, Jonathan made unqualified and unneeded comments on the property that ended up costing me additional money. He claimed that my roof is separating and needed urgent attention. I called Mclaren Roofing and got an inspection done on the whole roof only to hear that there’s «no problem» with the roof whatsoever.
I never use Unilocal for projects like these but I was compelled by all the reviews and find it only «fair» to write my own and honest version after this experience. I had 2 competitive bids on the house and chose Jonathan because of his nice personality. Unfortunately, he delivered an incomplete job and blamed it on everyone but himself. I would definitely not use him or recommend him for future readers.

As with others, I found Jonathan through Unilocal,and was impressed with the positive reviews.
After having worked with him myself, I have nothing but positive things to say. From the quick quote to the flexible timing, thorough job, speedy completion and professional demeanor, Jonathan made our interior project a breeze.
We have lathe and plaster walls, and due to the age of the home and various renovation projects over the past couple of years, we had a number of cracks to deal with, which is no easy task. Jonathan and his team tackled all of the issues with no complaints or additional fees, and did a fantastic job throughout.
I would highly recommend Jonathan and his team, and look forward to working with him myself on future projects.

Hired Jonathan to paint outside of my home & touch up the inside in preparation for renting it out. His expertise and skill meant we ended up just doing the areas in need of caulking /​painting and blending into the areas that were fine. The job was done in less than 5 days, as agreed and for a lot less than we had been quoted by other contractors who wanted to do the entire house. Will definitely be using Jonathan’s team next time!

In the past 25 plus years Jonathan has painted my current home three times, and recently power washed and restained my decks. He also worked on one of my rental properties. He is great to work with, competitive in pricing, fast, and does nice work.
I’ve recommended him to several of my friends who have hired him more then once.

Jonathan power-​washed my cement deck in my backyard and did a great job — I was shocked at the before/​after difference. He was also very kind. I would highly recommend him.

I have had Jonathan do a number of jobs for me over the years both for my business and my home in Petaluma. I will continue to use him in the future as he has always taken care of the details and done excelent prep work which has an enormous effect on the longevity of the painted surface especially exterior. Jonathan is easy to discuss changes and options with and his prices are quite reasonable considering the quality of workmanship.

I had Jonathan paint my bathroom and portions around the outside of my house. First of all, he’s really easy to talk to and is very enthusiastic about his work. He prepped all the work first, which means it will last and hold up for a much longer time. Another quality I liked about his work, is that he was there to work quickly and efficiently — he wasn’t goofing around, talking on his cell phone or taking unnecessary breaks. The end result was very impressive and I found his price to be very fair.

Jonathan painted the interior of my studio in San Francisco as well as the exterior of my house in Daly City. He and his workers were prompt, courteous, neat, and finished both jobs on time and on budget. I will definitely call him again when I need some painting done, and will recommend him to friends.

Jonathan Bassil did a great job for me. I have a historic Wurster home in Berkeley, which needed renovation, including painting and wood staining. Not only does Jonathan have a great eye for ideas and for color, but he is neat and organized, and gets the job done quickly and efficiently. I was really thrilled with the results, and highly recommend him!
