Berger's Painting

I was looking for a painting contractor to paint the exterior of our home. The house is 2200 sq.ft. and is built into a hillside in the Hollywood Hills. The house is 100 years old and has multiple levels and I felt it could be a challenge reaching some of the areas. After contacting Bob, he scheduled an appointment, with me, for a review of the required work. He was very quick to provide me with an estimate and provided it, to me, before leaving for his next appointment. Initially, I felt the quote lacked some detail and information and I didn't want any surprises with added costs as the potential job commenced. I e-mailed Bob and spoke with him and he was very helpful to provide clarity and scope to the job so that neither of us had any surprises. I was not in any big rush to schedule and Bob was very good at staying in contact with me and scheduling the job when it was going to be most convenient for me. About a week prior to the beginning of the job, Bob came back over to do another walk through so that he could plan his crew (s) accordingly. He let me know how many people he planned to have and how many days it should take. We revisited the process and expectations. This was very good for me, as communication on a large project, like this, helps to put me at ease and experience less stress. On the start date (as well as throughout the job) Bob and his crew showed up on time and ready to work. We went over the project, again, with the two foremen that Bob had on the job. I wanted to be sure that they all understood what we expected of them and that I needed daily communication. For example, we have cats in the house and the crew was going to need doors and windows opened at various times for prep and painting. I wanted to have a schedule so that we could coordinate where the cats were being kept while various doors/windows were opened. Day 1 started with power washing and beginning prep of stucco (repairing cracks, removing peeling paint, etc) I had a good experience with one of his foremen and was having communication and sloppiness problems with the other. I contacted Bob that evening and he arrived, promptly, the following morning to review my concerns and get a reset with a portion of his crew. Some of the problems were trash and materials all over the place, windows and doors painted shut and limited to no communication. On the flip side, the other foremen was outstanding, providing information, updates and keeping a neat work area and taking care to prep areas appropriately. Day 2 - we had a good conversation and reset with the crew. The day progressed in a very good and professional manner. I was very happy that Bob took my concerns seriously and he addressed it without any time wasted or excuses. Subsequent Days - The work started moving along nicely, but then we had more problems with one of the foremen, again, as we were experiencing two different jobs. Excellent from one foremen and sloppy and lack of communication from the other. We contacted Bob, again, and asked him to remove part of the crew for the balance of the job. He listened to our concerns, we showed him the items that caused us concern and he wasted no time in removing part of his crew from our project. He reworked another project and brought in a separate 2nd crew for the next day. I must say, the final crew he had on this job was amazing. They were professional, worked with care and precision and made us very happy. You might ask why I would rate this company with an "A" when we experienced problems with part of the crew. Well, the concern and actions presented by Bob made this very easy to rate them with an "A". There was no argument, there were not any excuses. He listens to his customer and does his best to make you happy with the job. As the job wound down to the final day, Bob, one of the foremen and I walked the job, from top to bottom. We identified a punch list of items to do before final payment was made. Each item was addressed to my expectations and approval. The house looks GREAT, we will definitely hire Berger's Painting, again, for another of our properties. These large jobs always have something go awry, but Bob and his crew were there to correct and make the customer happy. I can't thank him and foreman, Marvin, enough. We are very happy. Thank you!

Workers were prompt. Consistently showed up by 7:30 AM everyday. Many of them have worked for Bob for years. Everything was pretty much up front in regards to pricing. I appreciated that things were put back properly. For example, they rehung my picture, and blinds after taking it down to paint that section. I did not have to ask them to do it.

They did an amazing job! They are kind of expensive, but you get what you pay for... I decided to pay more for higher quality and I definitely believe I got that.

Verbally assaulted me and used major profanity. This person should be barred. I will see to it that the board gets a major complaint from my attorneys.

Wonderful company. Highly recommend. Professional quality work from a great team. Honest family owned business!!!

This company does not disappoint and exceeded my expectations. They did a top quality job, including painting light fixtures, mail box, and address numbering. Two neighbors commented on what an outstanding job they did. Our house cleaner drove past our house today because she didn't recognize it. I will definitely use them in the future.

The company overcame some pretty big odds here. They came in for a quote on the night before. Overnight, we were hit with even more graffiti. This wasn't an issue and they modified the quote slightly to take into account the extra work. Then, we lost power on site. The worker was patient and stayed, waiting for power to return. While we waited, he offered options to try and make sure the job was done that day (as inclement weather was scheduled for the next few days). When the power finally came back, the job was done quickly and efficiently. You can't even tell which portions of the fence were worked on. I'm 100% satisfied.

Wonderful they were very helpful and the clean up was fantastic

The team of Bergers Painting including Bob, the owner and team of Marcelo, Martin and Jesus, the painters, was fantastic. Bob came out right away to give us an estimate and the timing was perfect because one of his jobs got pushed out a week or so due to other contractors so we were able to start the following week. Although the price seemed a little high ... the quality of the work was completely worth it. The prepping prior to painting was unbelievably good and the actual painting process was great. Everything was masked, taped and/or covered and no overspray occurred. The team was punctual, courteous and cleaned up every day prior to leaving. They replaced outdoor light fixtures and even attached a weathervane atop the cupola and the painting included painting stucco, cement siding, all doors, all window frames and sills, shutters, roof cupola, French door paneled sliding doors, gutters, eaves, fascias, 2 gates, garage door and all trim. The price included all paint and materials to complete the job perfectly. We can’t say enough good things about Bergers Painting and will use again when the time comes. We highly recommend this company and are so happy we found them on Angies List!!

I would highly recommend Berger’s Painting. The job was done right. Our painter found areas to touch up in our house that I had not even seen myself! He was the most meticulous, neat painter I had ever had!

Exceptionally responsive and professional company. I would highly recommend this company and the painting team of Mario and Gil . I will definitely call them again for any of my painting needs.

I highly recommend Berger's Painting! Anytime I have to hire someone to do work around my house, I'm always a little uncomfortable with the process, but working with Bob was great! He came out, gave me a very reasonable rate, and had his crew ready to go the next week. One of the best things about working with Bob is the great communications. When I called him, he answered the phone about 80% of the time, and when I left a message, he called me back within an hour or two. Great line of communication to know what's going on or if you have any questions. The crew that did the work was great, too! Showed up on time and were very professional. I had my 'popcorn ceilings' scrapped, some drywall that needed patching, painting that needed to be done 4 rooms, a hallway and staircase. Took about 6 days, taking longer because of the drywall patching, but looked amazing afterwords. After they crew was gone and I was moving back in, I found a few very minor things that needed touching up. I called Bob and the crew was out right away. They fixed all the issues and we're very friendly about coming back out. Overall I was very pleased with the experience and would recommend Berger's Painting to anyone needing painting done.

painting, plastering, baseboards, crown molding .....you name it and it was EXCELLENT

Bob, the owner gave a written estimate for the job, told me details of what will be done, and duration of the whole project. His painters were very punctual and even did extra work outside of the contract without extra pay.

Steve was very professional. He came out for a free estimate which was competitive. He then met with us at the paint store to tell us about colors and finishes. He scheduled the job within the week and sent out 4 guys since we needed the job done asap. They were very nice and professional. The only thing I did not like was they used our master bedroom go poop instead of any of our 3 guest bathrooms. We told Steve to talk to them. He said he did and the next day our bathroom was used again. They painted all 5 bedrooms, kitchen, living room and 4 bathrooms in 3 days. There were some areas that could of been more neat. They told us everything would dry in a day. But then 2 weeks after the job we noticed paint comes off easily with even a box rubbing up against it. Overall they did a good job.

Bob was very easy to work with, offered us a good price, started the job right away, and all his guys were pros. We could not be happier.

These guys were amazing. The work is beautiful and they were professional and very easy to work with. Did the job in four days and even did some extra clean up when they were done. I highly recommend Bob and his crew. I give them an A+!

Excellent. Work was meticulously planned and executed. Completed before time.

These guys are great. They're fast (they finished ahead of schedule.) They're clean (everything was left spotless.) They are thorough (they inspected work several times to make sure the job was perfect. I was so impressed I'm having them come back to do the interior. Thanks guys.

Awesome! The job was completed within a week of me contacting them. Great job!

Steve was always 10 minutes early. I gave him the key and his crew came and went as needed while I was at work. Found some spots after they finished and they came back quickly and even found ones I had missed. Also had the garage floor epoxied. It is perfect. Takes 3 days to dry properly. Had three other quotes at same price. Easy to work with. Flexible to a woman's changing mind. My house looks better than ever.

Fantastic. Once we decided to paint, I got a job, and had a small window of time that I'd be available to be at the house. Steve said he had an immediate opening that worked perfectly with our schedules. Then, I suddenly had visitors coming into town later that week, and so Steve (Berger) double-teamed his guys to get it done before the guests arrived. The team was fantastic. Communicated well about anything they thought might be a question for me. SO professional and polite. The work is spectacular and looks great. We found quite a few pieces of wood that had rotted, and they didn't just try to bondo them -- they replaced the boards (which ended up being quite a few), and you'd never know they weren't the original build. We also had them paint a 16 x 8 shed out back and an enclosed back porch. The price was a little more than we had hoped to pay, but the quality and speed would be hard to beat. Minimal impact to any plants near the house. They worked quickly but so professionally -- all very experienced and knowledgeable painters. We can hardly believe how beautiful the house looks!

Very well, I would recommend without reservation.

I'm so impressed with J&B Painting. I would hire them again!! 1. Super responsive 2. Steve was very nice and professional 3. Very reasonable estimate for the scope of work. 4. The painters were professional, friendly, timely, efficient, TOOK PRIDE in their WORK, and cleaned up well! 5. Steve would come by just about every day to check on progress and to see if I had questions. 6. Job was started and completed as estimated. 7. Detail orientated, Not ONCE did I have to have them paint something over or fix anything, which is SO rare! I'm a very detail oriented person and I have a critical eye. 8. Definitely schedule them to come and give an estimate for you...then hire them!

Fair - I had requested all nails pulled out and patched, and all hardware (doorknobs, curtain rods, blinds, and ceiling lights) be removed ( I was replacing all) prior to painting. The job was to be 2 days. When I came home from work after the first day, walls were painted, but no hardware had been removed, and nail holes were not patched - just painted over. Paint brushes had been washed in my bathtub and I had to scrape bits of pain from the tub. And empty McDonalds bags were in my hallway. I called Steve to complain - he apologized and made sure everything went smoothly after that. The end result is great. Only other complaint is that sanding was done after trim was painted, so I had to wipe all the sanding dust off the trim when they were done. Also 1 window sensor for the alarm was lost when screen was removed, but Steve took the cost of that off the bill.
