We had an excellent experience. Andy and his crew are true experts and did an amazing job. We are very happy with the finished job. Andy helped us select the proper paint for the trim, inside the closets, etc., which was helpful. This is our second time using House Painting Inc. and we are just as pleased with the end result as the first time. We would definitely recommend them to others and we will absolutely use them for future jobs ourselves.
Description of Work: We had House Painting Inc. Paint the ceilings, walls, and trim for three bedrooms, hallway, entry area, and bath. They also painted built-in bookshelves and cabinets.

We contacted two companies to get estimates on painting our house. James came to the house and did a thorough walk around and talked through the work they would do. He was on time, knowledgeable and professional. He gave us a written estimate and followed up with e-mail and a paper letter. One small glitch was that we asked for a quote that split out the price of repainting the floors of the front and back porch (we were considering having some work done on them, so weren't sure if we wanted them painted right then). James said that this would be no problem, but the quote that we got was just for the cost without doing the floors. The estimate that we got from James was substantially lower than the other painter, but did not include some items that the other estimate included (including the floors, but also some wood repair). We ended up choosing a different painter because the previous paint job was not that good, and we wanted to get someone who specialized in older houses and would fix some of the damage that had occurred over the years. We would definitely consider going back to this company when we get the house painted again.

Mr. Lee visited my home and gave me an estimate the same day I called his company. Two painters were assigned to do all the prep work and painting. They arrived at my home on time each day for 4 days to do the job. They were very professional and friendly. They patched all the holes in the drywall that was damaged by my dog. The painting job was excellent and everything looked new again. I would definitely hire this company again and would recommend them to my friends.

These are professional painters who know what they are doing and take great pride in their work. Abraham and Luis worked 9 days on the house, took their time, and did a terrific job. Seems like 7 of the days where spent prepping the house (taping, scraping, sanding, priming). Did put multiple coats on everything. We messed up our stucco color, and they were happy to change it for us. Abraham went out of his way to fix damaged wood. Of all the estimates, they were somewhere in the middle -- best choice I ever made.

They did an excellent job! They even removed and repaired the exterior garage entry door that was showing signs of dry rot near the bottem. They did this at no additional charge! We have many plantings around our foundation; shrubs, flowers, and trellises that were attached to the stucco walls. They carefully removed and supported the trellises, as well as protectively wrapping the other plantings. My wife is very "picky" and focuses on details. We walked around the house at the beginning of each day to check the progress of the job and check for any corrections, adjustments, or additional work that needed to be done. All of our questions were answered and concerns addressed. All this was done in the scortching valley heat of 100-108 degrees! Mr. Lee and his crew made my wife very happy with the painting job, which makes me very happy.

I highly recommend this company for all your exterior painting needs. They were professional, prompt, clean, and detail oriented. Mr. Song and his crew really went above and beyond the call of duty, often repairing minor problems that they noticed. They were very patient with my indecision regarding paint color. They did extensive prep work and did their best to keep the work area clean and safe for my 3 year old daughter. Two thumbs up!

The work done was excellent! Everyone involved from the company owner, Mr. James Lee to his painters, Song, Ramiro,and Stepany were great to deal with and their suggestions and explanation of things were very helpful and thorough. This is the first home improvement company that I've ever dealt with that didn't ask for at least some money down for supplies, etc. Mr. Lee said to just to pay in full when the work was completed (and because of the very weather-beaten condition of the stucco, woodwork, and metalwork that they had to deal with, as well as the size of the house and garage it was a 5-day job). They made a very worn-out looking old house look like new for a very reasonable price (of the 3 bids taken, theirs was in the middle - the low was $3,600 and the high was unbelievably $25,000 for the same job) and for that I extremely grateful.

This was probably the most professional painting company we've ever dealt with. Mr. Lee was extremely thorough in telling us what to expect and all our expectations were met. The crew was prompt, careful, and clean. And the work was very, very good.
Description of Work: We recently renovated our garage with new dry wall and a new epoxy floor. Mr. Lee's crew prepped and painted the new drywall, covered the floor so not a drop fell on it. Which was extremely important to us. They also painted the exterior of the garage and a new side door.

Mr. Lee was very nice and professional, and his prices were good so I hired him for the job. Unfortunately, he didn't show up on the day he said he could start. When I called he said his other job was running late and he could start in a "few days". I waited a couple of days and called again, and he could not give me a confirmed start date. I was on a schedule so I had to let him go and hire another vendor. It's possible that this was a one-off, or unusual position for him to take, but that was my experience and I want to be truthful. I'm sure he does good work judging by other reports, but if you hire him make sure you get a firm start date and don't pay in advance.

Response from House Painting Inc
Unfortunately, we never set a date to paint. The only promise was that we would let her know within two weeks. We always give a couple days notice before we start a job. This customer called on Thursday and wanted to start a job. I told her, I can not set a definite date right now because we already had jobs going on at the time, which took longer than we anticipated. In response, we told her as soon as we find an opening, we would let her know. We did not want to set a premature start date because we did not have a known time that the current job would be finished by. This would save both of us confusion. A few days later on Saturday, we told her that we could start on the coming Monday, but she did give us a decision; only that she would let us know later. It seemed that she already had somebody else in mind for the job. That Monday, she called us to let us know that she hired someone else. In response to the comment of paying in advance: We want to clarify that this is never our policy. We ask for payment on the completion of the job with customer satisfaction AFTER painting the house, never before.

My initial call was returned very quickly. The estimate was very reasonable and my concerns about old and cracked wood areas were thoroughly addressed. We were shown many photos of their work on other houses. Mr. Lee also provided an extensive list of addresses of previous customers. These photos and addresses are also available on their website. We also were shown photos of their careful preparation work on other houses. The team was quite fast and efficient even when the trim needed extra coats since the new color was so different. They did a first class job.

James was very timely in meeting to give the bid. His 3 painters showed up exactly as planned on the 4 days of the job. Scott, Lee and Dee did an excellent job of painting the walls and woodwork of a large condo, and in removing wallpaper from 2 bathrooms prior to painting. I thought the cost was fair for the quality of the work done and the excellent clean-up. The painters took it upon themselves to paint the ceilings in the 2 of the bathrooms and in the kitchen because they looked "dirty" next to the new paint and did so without extra charge. I was completely satisfied.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!!! James Lee came out within a few days of making the call for an estimate. He was very friendly, detailed and described everything that would be done to repaint the house and ensure the work was done well. They began about a week after he came for the estimate. Immediately they were scraping the old cracked and peeled paint off. Every day we could see an incredible difference in the amount of work that was done on the house. The estimate was 7 days of work which they completed in 4 days and with careful detailed work (not sloppy) done. Meeting and talking with the crew that he sent, you can tell that they ALL take pride in the quality of work that they perform. They were not in a rush to get it done quickly, they would take all the necessary steps to carefully ensure the paint would stay on the house and not peel off. Whenever we would see them they would describe what they did for the day and ask how we liked it and what we thought. You could tell that they wanted to ensure that we were happy with the quality of the work that they were doing. They did an exceptional job of moving items, protecting plants and covering all the windows to ensure paint did not end up on areas that it did not belong. This is the very first contract company that I can say they actually did a better job than what we would have done ourselves. Many times people hire contractors because they don't have the time and energy to do all the work, but they are not 100% satisfied with the work. For us, we were ecstatic with the work that they did and are absolutely 100% satisfied with the quality. Even today, weeks later, I still look at the paint job that they did with admiration and pride on how beautiful our house looks with the quality paint job that they performed. His crew was exceptionally considerate when it came to my young children. Whenever we would walk by areas that they would work, they would completely move items out of the way so that we would not trip over them. They even did nice touches, but asked first to see if we wanted items like the backboard of our basketball hoop repainted too. The day before trash day, I was so nicely surprised when I went out to move the trash cans that they had already put them on the curb for us. They have been the friendliest, most considerate, most detailed contract company I have ever worked with. I will absolutely use them again when I need them including for the interior of the house.

I called them in to give an estimate on staining a new deck. I'd tried to do it myself and, frankly, screwed it up. Mr. Lee came in, told me I was crazy not to do it myself and gave me some tips to correct my problem and then left. He said "why pay me to do something you can do for so much cheaper on your own." he was right. I loved this guy.

And they cleaned up every night before leaving. They were very friendly and easy to have around for over a week. Eveything from beginning to end was great. It was a good experience.

Company owner James provided a comprehensive, fair estimate with information about what the painting process would include, from preparation to completion. Monday Project Manager Song and his assistant Esteban arrived promptly, ready and prepared to work and continued to do so the entire week. Both maintained a high degree of responsibility and professionalism and carefully cleaned up the work areas at the end of each day. Preparation was so complete a neighbor commented on the thoroughness of it. Mr. Song was very impressive in his attention to detail and suggestions for improving the appearance of the house. His work, attitude, professionalism, reliability were all excellent.
Description of Work: Exterior house painting with very careful attention to detail. Impressive preparation, including plaster/stucco repair. Great care was taken to protect plants,shubbery and patio furniture from any paint damage. Project manager Song was especially responsive to our questions and very helpful in aiding us to identify the exact color we were seeking. Everything was completed in a very professional, faultless manner.
There are painters and there are craftsmen who paint. James Lee and his crew are the craftsmen who paint. My husband and I are thrilled with the results of our job. We have lived in our house for 24 years, had it painted several times since, and this is undoubtedly the best that it has ever looked. James told me that our house would be the best looking on the street and he was right. The care with which his painters treated our house, its surroundings and our belongings was exceptional. The exterior crew was very thorough?each plant surrounding the house was individually wrapped to for protection. The guys dug a small trench around the house to make sure that the paint went below the level of the dirt. They took the old cracked paint down to the bare wood and stucco in places. Their patching was meticulous and they didn?t miss a thing. Many years ago, we had updated the electrical box on the side of the house and the old electric meter had been removed from inside its metal frame. This left the large concave metal frame that was inset into the stucco wall, which was an eyesore. Previous painters had just painted around the problem, but not James? crew. The old frame was removed from inside the wall, the large hole was patched and the stucco repaired so that now, you cannot tell that there was ever anything there. There were a couple of bricks near the driveway that had been knocked loose and when I came home one day they had been repaired. The attention to detail is very much appreciated?this company knows how to please their clients. When the exterior work was finished and it was time to switch to painting the interior, I was sorry to see the outside crew leave. The next workday, the interior crew arrived on time and immediately proceeded to take great care in moving our items, covering and masking everything. They were just as nice and professional as the exterior crew. Like the exterior crew, they took the time to unscrew and remove everything from the walls?(unlike most painters that we?ve experienced, who tend to paint around them). Late one afternoon after painting one wall in the living room, we realized that the color was wrong. The guys didn?t think a thing of it, stopped painting the walls, finished up with some other work and came back the next day with the new paint selection. Everything was done cheerfully and exactly as we wanted. Our house looks great?inside and out!! James is a real professional and his estimate was reasonable. His crews were professional, polite and cleaned up after each workday. My husband and I are so happy that we?ve finally found a really excellent painting contractor. James definitely has another customer for life and we have already begun recommending him to our friends. I only have good things to say about our experience with House Painting Inc.
Description of Work: Our ranch style house was built in the early '50's and is 3,000 square feet. It is stucco with wood siding and brick in the front. The house was patched where needed, pressure washed and the exterior was painted. We also had 3 sets of French doors painted on the exterior. In the interior...the entry, living room and one of the bathrooms was painted. We had 2 sets of French doors painted as well.

Mr. Lee came out to do the estimate the same day I called. I appreciated that he immediately handed me paperwork that showed his license, insurance, and workman's comp. He also included a list of work his company had performed and many photos of the work. Within three days, I received a formal proposal by email and he was able to start the work two days later. The "crew" consisted of two painters who work independently in a very organized manner. Once all the prep was done, which took two days, Mr. Choi took on the windows while Jorge worked on larger areas such as the fascia, rafters, chimney etc. The two men are very focused, especially Mr. Choi who brings a zen-like concentration to the fine detailed work necessary on the windows. I can say that he put the same concentration into the sixtieth window as he did on the first. The painters clean up the entire area after work each day and pay special attention to taking care of any flowers/plants in the work space. I was extremely pleased with the work they did and will not hesitate to call them again for the next painting job.
Description of Work: This is a Craftsman house on two levels and includes approximately sixty (!) windows. The siding on the house was in good shape; but all of the trim needed to be re-painted in addition to a tall stucco covered chimney. Some of the wood was quite damaged and required considerable prep and repair in the way of puttying and filling.

James' team came over on time to do a thorough estimate, came in under other estimates, and then did a fantastic and quick job on what was a large job. They were very courteous, punctual, and professional. I had asked to have one new door painted, but it got left off the estimate, so they did it for free! They were easy to work with, had helpful suggestions, and very clean. I would use them again without hesitation.

Three men were sent to do the job. They were all very friendly and professional. And as mentioned above, pressure washed the house and garage (which alone made the place look like new). Then did stucco work on water damaged walls on the back of the house which looked great. They sanded down the trim of the house and doors then painted everything to our satisfaction. The house, garage and addition all look great. Couldn't have been happier with the service.
Description of Work: We had them come out and give us an estimate for the house, garage and office addition. After a short negotiation and Angie's List discount, agreed on an acceptable amount and they started a few days later. They promised to have the job finished within 8-10 days. A lot of pre-painting work had to be done with stucco on the back wall of the house and sanding down windows, doors and front deck as well as pressure cleaning everything. They completed the job in 5 days.

The owner and the painting crew, which consisted of two people, were very courteous, pleasant and professional. They listened to our concerns and answered all our questions. The crew did a good job preparing the wood surfaces (sanding etc...) and repairing the stucco. They did a good job masking window edges etc.. They were careful to not damage shrubs/plants adjoining the house. They cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day. They were prompt and finished the job in a timely manner. We are very happy with the outcome. The final price was exactly what the owner had estimated, and we believe, fair and reasonable. We would do business with them again in the future.
