Strokes Fine Painting

Dar painted my house inside and out 15 years ago. She chose colors that were fantastic, but not in every house and restaurant you visit. Her color choices were ahead of the times and above the curve.
Dar is really helpful in terms of work. She is prompt, responsive, and there for you … she is also very, very nice! Dar is also a good person in the world; she is giving and generous of mind and spirit.
I just re-​hired Dar to paint the inside of my house after a renovation (sadly, it was forced upon me by a bad contractor who tore my house up top to bottom). Once again Dar chose less than usual colors, but I have been seeing them now in magazines as THE colors. I kept the same colors on the outside of my house and I cannot imagine ever wanting to change them. They are so perfect for me. Thank you Dar!
I respect Dar and her work. Check her out!

Excellent! My fellow T.I.C. members hired Dar (Strokes Fine Painting) on the recommendation of a good friend who recently had her building painted. We were very pleased with the work she and her crew did on our four unit building here in the Mission. Very professional, clean, and responsive. We can’t say enough good things about the experience.

I don’t know who Dodo B. is, but I have been using Strokes for over 15 years, and Dar is fabulous. Her color sense is spot on, her painters are considerate, and everything is cleaned up at the end of the day. I hired Strokes to paint my office, and this company has painted the interior and exterior of my home in San Franciso. I highly recommend this company!

Do yourself a favor and avoid this painting company. I had my home painted by them and after 2 years had massive peeling and cracking because the building had not been properly prepped. The crucial bit is that one side of the building had massive water damage. I had the roof and windows checked, assuming that was the problem I specifically told the painting contractor about the water pouring in during the rainy season. Ya would’ve thought they could have patched the wall. I found out later that there were huge holes that had not been sealed. This was after 2 years of pulling out my follicles trying to resolve the problem. I recently had a painter (who was working next door) offer to give an estimate to paint the building thinking it had been at least 20 years since it had been painted. No. Try 3 years. The foreman was incompetent. The contractor was absent. She could’ve cared less about her companies work. Am I upset? You betcha. There are plenty of qualified and competent painting contractors in SF, who do the right thing and take pride in their work. This is not one of them.
UPDATE: Who is Dodo B? Who are you? (A good friend of the contractor?) I am someone who has had many years of owning properties and too numerous to count experiences with painters. Many were very responsible and truly cared about their work (Local Color, for example). This company was not one of them. Perhaps she cared more 15 years ago. Sadly, not now.
