California Painting Company

Mike did an excellent job painting my house. The whole process was so easy from scheduling the first visit, to getting a detailed breakdown of the price, to selecting the colors and getting the house painted… I really enjoyed working with him and his crew.
Mike was patient answering all my questions, and he always offered me his full attention whenever we talked.
I will use California Painting’s services again in the future.
Thank you to Mike!

I am a bit of a perfectionist, and as such I try to do most jobs myself since it is increasingly rare to find service professionals who take pride in their craftsmanship — not so with Mike. Mike is an honest and hardworking painter who strives to make sure you are happy with his work.
Over the course of 3 days Mike and a helper painted nearly the entire interior of our house as well as all the peeling paint on the exterior side of our house. He made suggestions throughout his time with us and in many instances elected to fix something on his own accord because he was not happy with the previous owner’s efforts.
Mike’s skills go beyond painting though. Our lighting guys drywall patching was, well lets just say subpar. Subpar in that it looked like a missile went through it. Mike was able to properly patch the drywall throughout the house and did so for a fraction of the cost of our other estimates.
A previous reviewer mentioned punctuality. We never set a time that Mike and his crew were to arrive, but they were always at the house by 8AM and gone by 5PM so no complaints there from me.
If you are looking for a competitive estimate from an honest, hardworking, and just super nice guy, then Mike is your man.

I am a general contractor and do nothing but custom work I contacted Mike of California painting company for a competitive bid on a project he did an excellent job within the budget that I had allowed for the task he was punctual friendly cooperative and did an excellent job I cannot be happier I look forward to speaking and working with him again

So I needed to get my house painted. Like a responsible consumer I called several painting companies and asked for bids. The range of prices I got was $ 1400 — $ 965. When I called Mike at California Painting Company his bid was $ 300 less then the lowest bid that I received.
Now I know what you are thinking, yes he has full insurance, license and bond, I checked. Additionally, he used high quality paint, bear, and guaranteed his work for 3 years.
As for the job:
The paint job is really nice, there are clean lines and the house looks good.
So here are the cons:
He is not very punctual, he told me he would start at 8:00am but he started closer to 10:00. Additionally, he told me that he would take 2 days to paint the house but took 3.
He doesn’t do a lot of priming. Perhaps, this is because my house did not need it. I do not know I am not a painter, and when I researched this topic the sources I looked at said that some house just don’t need a lot of priming.
The reason why I am giving California Painting Company 5 stars is because my house looks good and the price was cheap. I would also like to add that I only had the exterior of my house painted, so this review is only based on that.

I made the mistake of not reviewing references for work from California Painting company. Lesson learned for next time. The outside work and doors were decent, but the inside work done on the bathroom was sloppy. I sill have paint drippings on my toilet tank. There were drippings on the wall from when I test painted with various colors and instead of smoothing it out, they just painted over it, if it costs more to smooth it out, it would have been appreciated to let us know instead of painting over it.
