Went well. James is very professional, and clearly demands excellent customer service from the workers. There is the distinct feeling that they are being held to high expectations, and that if you pick up the phone and talk to James, he'll take care of anything the workers aren't handling to your satisfaction. The painters took care of some carpentry repairs and did some painting extras that weren't in the original quote, like the trim around some stained glass windows, and the door to the garage.
Description of Work: We had all the exterior trim, soffits and extensive arbors repainted on our 1800 sq. ft., house plus 400 sq. ft. detached garage.

I would highly recommend this company. James was very professional: He showed up for the estimate appointment on-time, answered all of my questions, and provided pictures and references. James also provided the estimate in-person and followed up with a mailed copy detailing all of the proposed work. James was able to schedule the job right away. From the moment painters Johnny and Kim arrived on the job (on time every day) to the very end of their last day, I was impressed with the expertise, friendliness, trustworthiness and speed of these professionals. I was so pleased with the work done in the living room, dining room and entry hall, that I extended the job to the bedroom and some painted furniture--not part of the original estimate. James' prices remained fair when I called him back to add on the additional room/furniture, and the quality of Johnny and Kim's work was consistent as well. I wanted zero-VOC paint for this job to try to avoid fumes, and James and his painters accommodated the request. James warned me that I might notice a difference in the quality of the gloss on the trim paint (compared to traditional paints, this stuff takes a long time to dry and is not as glossy), and he was right about that. Nonetheless, Johnny and Kim did a great job with the paint and I am very happy with it. Also, they left the rooms spotless--no dust, smudges, or paint drips anywhere. I absolutely plan on using this company again.
Description of Work: Interior painting (preparations including sanding/removing old paint on trim, repairing wood/drywall damage, priming, moving furniture, and protecting all surfaces from paint and dust and thorough cleaning after the job) for living room, dining room, entry hall, and bedroom. Painters accommodated request to use green/low-voc paint.

Based on previous reports from Angie's List, I had expected a wonderful job, and got even more than I had hoped for, thanks to the wonderful workers, Shin and Louis Fernando. The sanding and preparation was very thorough. Shin and Louis made sure that our plants did not suffer or get painted on, and they matched the colors to our old paint exactly. They were polite, worked hard, and finished in time! Were they on stage, they would surely receive a standing ovation .

It was excellent. They were courteous and extremely helpful and efficient when they were here.
Description of Work: They prepped, scraped and prepared the kitchen cabinets, living room, dining room, laundry room. They even came back and touched up a spot where a neighbors three year old touched it. They covered everything so it didnt get all over, took everything off, all the heavy stuff, and rehung the stuff afterwords. They even went around and plugged stuff back in.

Everything went very well. James lee came out to quote the project. He came in a little more expensive than another quote, but could do the job sooner. He accepted my counter offer around 10% under his asking price. Two painters showed up on time and worked one day at scraping, sanding, and priming. The next day they finished the paint work. I asked why they were not filling cracks in older wood and they confessed that crack fillers look nice at first but usually work their way loose after a few years, ruining the job. No paint was spilled anywhere and the painters work diligently and quietly. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Perhaps a little more expensive, but their ability to quickly work me into their schedule was worth the slight premium to me. Months laster the job still looks like new. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: Painted fascia on my house. I had just had a new roof installed and wanted to have fascia painted before installing gutters. Some of the fascia were new wood, primed by the roofers. Some was old with flaking paint. The flaked pars were scraped and sanded first. Then all the fascia were primed. The next day they were painted with an oil based paint. All work was done on a single story home. I would rate this as a pretty easy job.

They were total pros; we were very impressed. They were very punctual, showing up every day at 7:45 or 8am and working straight through until the afternoon with a brief lunch break. I was amazed at how well they paced themselves to get the job done in exactly 5 days as promised. Their prep work seemed thorough and they just knocked out the job quickly and neatly, usually working with a 3-man team. We appreciated the fact that they kept things neat, cleaning up every afternoon & evening, when they left and putting everything back just as they found it upon completion of the job.
Description of Work: After getting 3 other bids on the job which ranged from $4500 to $6500, we went with these guys. They prepped and painted the exterior of our house, including sanding lots of chipped and peeling eaves, fixing some sills and door frames, etc. We used 4 different colors (walls, under eaves, trim, door).

Excellent experience. James responded to my request for a bid quickly and was able to start right away. Song and his crew went to great measures in preparing the exterior for painting. Including some significant stucco patch work which turned out great. The crew was knowledgeable in their trait and how paint would adhere to certain woods and metals which helped us in deciding colors, paints, etc. When we noticed a few touch up items, Song and his crew made sure that they were taken care of to our satisfaction. Overall a great experience using this company.
Description of Work: We used this company to paint the entire exterior of our 1100 square foot home as well as detached garage. Work included several areas of stucco patching as well as the priming and painting of all sides of new exterior doors as well as the sealing of a new driveway gate.

Mr. Lee came out the same day I called him for an estimate. He was very proud of his company - and I see now with good reason. Song and A did the whole job themselves. They always showed up promptly at 8 and diligently worked the whole day. They both had extremely high standards with aesthetics, and repaired several areas of the house that I didn't realize would be included in the job (ie: repairing rotting wood, sanding down metal railing and doors, actually re-doing the wood frames around our windows because one didn't look good, etc.) They helped us decide what paint to use by painting large areas of our different options so we could see what it would look like throughout the day. Both were very considerate with anything on or around the house. They carefully moved all our plants, lighting and furniture, then carefully put everything back EXACTLY as it was. They give you your house back, only now it's beautifully repaired and painted!

Within a few days of the estimate, the workers arrived on time, patched what needed to be, & covered the floors and banisters so there would be no drips. They worked around a new floor installation that my son and I were doing. They cleaned up each day.
Description of Work: Mr. Nam and Carlos patched and painted the dining & living rooms (which are 2-story rooms), the den, hallway, bathroom, up the staircase, and the upstairs hallway. They painted the walls one color, the trim and bath a lighter shade of that color, and the ceilings an even lighter shade. It took almost 4 days to do all of the painting, and it really looks nice!

James came out to give the estimate and we scheduled the work for about a week later. A crew of four or five men came and they got to work masking & covering everything. It took five days to finish most of the job; we then discovered that some extra work needed to be done on the cyc before it could be painted. That was finished a few weeks later. I had to move the job dates several times and James was so kind and understanding about it. In fact, everyone on the crew was incredibly helpful and friendly. Working with James and his crew is a real pleasure! The initial estimate was a little higher than I expected, but after further consideration, I think it was a fair price.
Description of Work: Painted the entire interior of my 10-room, 7200 square foot building. This is a loft/photo studio, which includes a 24' x 24' photo cyc. While the ceiling is 15 feet high in many parts of the building, we only had the crew paint up to about 12 feet.

There were three painters. They scheduled a week and were done in about four days. Most of the house was painted with a sprayer. There was very little overspray. There remain some uneven spots. I had to call them back to paint a large stuccoed area near the roof that was missed. For a few bucks more, they did a great job finishing my family room paint job that I had abandoned.

James Lee and his co-worker were GREAT. First they came to check out colors and when I had chosen a color that wasn't going to look all that great, he advised me to two other colors that are just stunning. They had to remove very old wallpaper. AND they even had to help me build and put up trim around two large new windows. I just can't tell you how beautifully done the job was. Fast, clean, so kind and courteous. I would hire them for any other jobs I have and recommend them to all!

Wonderful. Could not recommend this company more highly. From the moment I called for a quote (Mr. Kim came out that same afternoon) to the end of the project, this company was a dream to work with. The painters arrived on time every morning and were so courteous and polite; they even worked around my 8 month old's nap schedule in terms of doing noisy sanding or prepping or painting the windows of her room and the surrounding rooms. Our house was very rundown and the prep work was extensive. The painters were meticulous, finding every scrap of peeling paint or loose stucco and sanding or preparing. Shin, the head painter, worked carefully with me to find the exact colors I wanted used and went back to the store 2-3 times before the color was exactly what I wanted. The house looks brand new. We are thrilled.

Couldn't have been better. They came out right away after being contacted for an estimate. Once we decided to hire them, they were available actually within a couple of days, but we asked to wait until the next week. They got here around 8 every day. The first day they explained the process to us, asked us to pick colors, etc. They started on a Monday with sanding and prepping the first two days, started painting the third and were done by Friday mid afternoon. I had mentioned to them that we were having a party at the house on Friday afternoon, and they made sure they were done and cleared out by then. Cleanup was thorough. We didn't like the initial trim color we had chosen, and they re-did it the next day. We definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future for other paint jobs. We liked them so much we decided not to use the coupon.
