Creative Living Painting Inc.

Excelent! Could not have been better.

FANTASTIC! Extremely professional, wonderful to talk the project thru with, very detailed in explanations of process and materials and paint. Jayson was a joy to work with and very collaborative, which worked well for us. And his crew was wonderful, very professional and tidy and followed thru with every step. Will absolutely hire again, and definitely recommending to all my friends! Thank you thank you!

Jayson and his team were awesome. Excellent work. Quick and thorough.

Great! I would definitely hire Jayson and his team again. They were professional and easy to work with. I am very happy with the results! Thanks!

Professional, on time, lovely people. They did great work on our 100 year old craftsman. Meticulously detailed, highly recommend for older homes who need some extra love.

They did an amazing job fair prices for the work. Really appreciate the personal touch the owner Jason delivered.

Thank you Jason and crew for being honest, fair and well priced. I will continue to refer you to my friends and family.

It has taken me this long to write a review for creative living painting because I frankly didn’t want to give them one more moment of time. But now that I’m having painting done by a different company- I can tell how many corners were cut and that the quality issues I had are not from too high expectations but rather improper service; and other potential consumers deserve to know. Pros: the crew was always very polite to me, I never felt uncomfortable with them in my home, and they were very respectful of my property on the first round of interior painting. Much of the work was done well- though there were definitely areas of improper preparation and lack of attention to detail (although it was worse when they did the touch ups). They helped move things that were too heavy for me to move, and were very kind to my pets. They also did do a very nice job making and installing decorative beam covers. Cons- there were numerous areas of improper prep (cords that were clearly cut off and old were not removed (nor was I even asked) previous owner’s artwork hanging nails were left in place, holes were not patched, doorknobs not removed or covered, hinges and latches painted over) and technique- areas of dripping, lint from rollers in paint, painting tape painted over and not removed, outdoor areas not scraped and just painted over (now peeling up only a few months later), tape edges not removed from floor, black bathroom hardware with clearly visible drips and paint marks, etc. However my biggest issue was in management’s handling (or lack thereof) of these issues and in the way they spoke to their employees (and me). When I later questioned that behavior, I was told that they had to be spoken to that way because they “are painters and don’t understand” other types of communication. I was angrily called and asked why the crew hadn’t accomplished certain things, and basically yelled at to find out why. I felt so uncomfortable that I left some concerns unstated because I didn’t want the crew to be yelled at. When I informed Jayson and Silvi of some of these issues, like staples left all over my floor, and a cord with sharp staples left in my yard; I was told that they investigated and the employee threw it away at the street and it was witnessed by 3 other employees (until I found video footage of them tossing it in my yard, and me cleaning it up before my dogs hurt themselves). I was also told I should be grateful they don’t charge for touch ups. I finally got so disgusted that I demanded they get their stuff off my property that day and leave (I would rather pay a different company than continue to deal with them). They told me they would, and they did… but they never set up a time nor announced themselves. Jayson entered my property without even knocking or ringing a doorbell (my roommate was home the whole time). Then, when I arrived from work sooner than expected, I found my gates open and that Jayson had been on my property for almost 2 hours and filmed and taken pictures (my lawyer had to get involved for the footage of my home and access routes to be deleted). He then spoke to me in such a concerning tone and manner that my roommate heard and had to intervene and ask him to leave. This was an absolutely terrible experience that I now have to pay another painter to correct. Despite the fact that I paid over 47,000 dollars to have both the interior and exterior painted. And while they did say they would go back through and I could highlight areas to fix (though they had already been there doing touch ups and skipped it or created more issues)- I think it’s quite obvious why I didn’t want to interact with Jayson and Silvi further.

It is rare for me to find a contractor that easily grasps the vision I have for a project. I contacted Jayson as I was hoping a company named "Creative Living Painting" would get my unusual idea. They did not disappoint! They are not just contractors, but artists who truly brought out the character of my home. Since I knew the wood was far too old to stain and too expensive to replace, I wanted to do repair and then faux stain using paint and gel stain--a technique I had done myself inside on a small scale. Jayson knew exactly what I was talking about and did some experimenting to see what technique would work best given the large area that had to be covered. His process was far better than mine, and Joaquin's artistry truly shines. The entire painting team: Breynard, Joaquin, and Victoria are all masters of their work! The stucco repair was flawless, the attention to detail is unmatched, and above all, they're just super nice people! Oscar and Jayson handled any questions and concerns I had along the way, they were my patient with my "I don't know which white to choose!!" crisis, and I could not have asked for a better experience in transforming my house's exterior to reflect her inner beauty and character. If you have a unique vision for your home, Jayson and his team are the perfect people to bring it to life!

Jayson and his team were professional, efficient, and did excellent quality work. He was tremendously helpful when selecting colors. We love our glorious new bedroom!

Excellent work. Professional and responsible. Detail oriented.

Jayson and his team were great. They were conscientious, neat, and had great attention to detail. The team sanded, primed, and prepped every surface (a mix of wood shingle and stucco). It was clear they were not rushing the work (and there was a lot of it!). They also needed to work around our other neighbors’ property (a condo) and were polite and helpful. They worked efficiently and cleaned up every day. Would absolutely recommend.

Very happy with Jayson and his crews. Extremely accurate communication. Great eye for color. Crews were very professional and considerate of us and our neighbors.

I felt a good job was done. Jayson really wanted to do a good job and was very communicative as the job progressed. They did what they said they would do and, overall, I was pleased with their work and would use them again. My only minor criticism is, they sometimes arrived later than the time frame that was stated.

Jason was very good to work with and I enjoyed working with him.

Very happy with the work that was done. I appreciated Jayson’s attention to detail throughout the entire process. Excellent communication as well. Would definitely hire again!

They did a good work.

Jayson at Creative Living Painting was the best! Amiable, professional, knowledgeable & patient, he provided exactly what we wanted and the results look great! Highly recommend. Thank you!
