+ 2 moreGary is a painting contractor we asked to bid on a home repair caused by water damage. The job involved patching and painting walls, installing new wood flooring, cabinet carpentry and some electrical work that was incidental but important. Gary came to the house to discuss the details, bid the job promptly, called to follow up on the bid, and was very helpful in giving us an understanding of what had to be done. Some of the work was outside his wheel house, raising the cost, and the job was awarded elsewhere, but his manner of dealing with us, helpful ideas and responsiveness were awesome. I really wanted to give him the work, and if you ask for work that his company does, you will want to as well. I’m already considering him for another job at a rental property.

+ 3 moreThe house was spray painted and then the trim was painted by hand later. I needed some fixture replaced, front and side porch. A motion sensor light was installed on the garage as well. Two of my rain gutter also needed repair work were done by them. . Also, two door bell ringers were installed for me. On a second job, they came back and stucco a small wall that I share with my neighbor. They used the same color as my house. The front yard looks really nice. Excellent job. I am going to have them build a railing for my front and side porch. This will make it safer because the steps are quite high and someone could fall and injure themselves..
Description of Work: First they power washed the house and windows in preparation for painting. Later the windows needed sanding and scraping because the old paint on the aluminum framing was peeling off. The rain gutters were also primed and painted. The dug about 4" deep trench around the stucco, so it could be painted there.

+ 0 moreFrom beginning to end the job took 3 days. Sometimes two crew were deployed; other times a single worker was present. The workers or worker sustained effort in a diligent manner. Work was completed quickly and efficiently, and at the close of each day clean up was performed to minimize the impact on our family. We were kept informed when workers would arrive in the morning. They were punctual and courteous. The quality was outstanding: smooth surfaces, clean lines at color breaks, and no unwanted drips or painting "outside the lines." Were were quite pleased with the final result.
Description of Work: Gary Kassabian and his experienced crew painted a large and a small bathroom. They "converted" existing oil-based enamel finishes to latex semi-gloss finishes. The principal steps included: 1) taping and covering floors, vanities and other areas requiring protection from the paint. 2) sanding the walls and ceilings to "degloss" the oil-based enamel finish. 3) making necessary patches and repairs to the surfaces to be painted, and sanding as necessary. 4) applying one coat of a bonding primer. 5) applying two coats of latex semi-gloss finish to ceilings, walls, doors and wood trim.

+ 2 moreThis large job was completed in five days. In the initial trim demolition and prep phases, four workers were deployed. They all worked diligently and efficiently. As the work progressed to installation of new baseboards and casings, and the application of texture and finishes, the crew deployed varied from two to three. Again, sustained effort and no wasted motion. At the close of each day, the area was cleaned up. We were informed when workers would arrive the next day. Without fail, everyone was punctual and courteous. Gary in particular was responsive to our questions. He spent considerable time discussing the choice of colors with us, and helped us reach decisions. He also accompanied us to Moldings Unlimited to help us decide on the particular baseboards and casings we were going to have installed. The quality of the end result met our expectations. Smooth uniform surfaces; clean lines between color breaks, and no drips or paint deposited "outside the lines."
Description of Work: Gary Kassabian and his experienced employees upgraded the appearance of our entry foyer, an adjacent small bathroom, a coat closet, our living room and our dining room by removing "builder grade" base boards and door casings, installing new base boards and casings, and in each room painting the walls, ceilings, wood trim and doors. In the living room, foyer and dining room, the work was challenging because we have high vaulted ceilings and correspondingly tall walls. With respect to the base boards and door casings, the work involved: 1) removing and disposing of existing base boards and casings. 2) installing new base boards and casings. 3) as required, patching and sanding nail holes and applying caulk to the new basen board and casing installations. 4) applying two coats of semi-gloss finish. With respect to the interior painting, the work involved: 1) taping and covering areas requiring protection from sanding dust and paint. 2) consolidating furniture in middles of rooms and protecting with taped down plastic covers. 3) removing light fixtures, and plug and switch covers. 4) patching/repairing holes, cracks and visible wall board imperfections including corroding nail heads and seams manifesting house settling. 5) sanding doors and window jams to "de-gloss" existing oil-based enamel finish. 6) applying caulk and one coat of bonding primer to doors and window jams. 7) applying texturing to the walls and ceilings. 8) applying two coats of finish paint to ceilings (flat), walls (flat), and wood trim (semi-gloss) in various colors and accent tones.

+ -1 moreGary came to our home and was generous with his time in discussing the options for protecting our new redwood fence from the elements while allowing the natural grain of the wood to show through. We originally had a different brand of stain in mind, but Gary strongly recommended another company's product. We are very glad he did, now that we have seen the excellent results. Gary and a helper worked well together to complete the job on a very warm and dry day. Only very skilled painters could have completed this project and achieved the great results they did, given how quickly this type of acrylic stain tends to dry. We wouldn't hesitate to use GK Painting again for other painting or staining needs, and would certainly feel comfortable recommending them to friends and neighbors.

+ 0 moreGary was quick to respond to my voicemail inquiring a bid for the service. Gary is very professional and knowledgable. Once he learned that new wood exterior doors were recently installed, he was extremely helpful in working around his schedule (and our schedule) to make sure it was completed in a timely manner. Gary and his team executed the job on time and our doors and paint work look AMAZING! I cannot begin to count how many compliments we have received on our new doors. Gary also does a great job taking the time to educate his clients on proper maintenance and care for the work completed. We are so thankful we found GK painting. We know exactly who to call for our next painting and staining needs for both exterior/interior work. Highly recommend!

+ -1 moreI have been a homeowner for 27 years. I have had good painters and bad painter, but Gary is the Best painter. I have high standards and expectations. Gary and his guys had to move heavy leather sectional furniture around. They covered everything for protection. Previously, I had used oil based paint so there was a lot of sanding and priming to convert over to the new healthier acrylic paints. It's a lot of work. Gary's guys were really nice, very polite, hard working, and honest. Gary takes pride in his work and wants his clients to be happy with the work. Gary is very detail oriented. He supervises the workers really well and is not above getting his hands dirty. I will definitely be using Gary again.
Description of Work: Gary painted my breakfast room, family room, hallway, and upstairs bathroom.

I have a two-story home, and they painted the first floor ceiling, and repaired lots of holes we made from adding in reset lights. I had a small bathroom that was painted ametallic bronze from the previous owner. Gary covered over the tough metallicpaint, and gave me a beautiful light aqua bathroom. It looks great!I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a great paint job.

From day one when we met Gary and received the quote, up to the weeks that followed and then the job completion, Gary kept in close contact keeping us updated of when he would be buy and what would be done that day. Gary has a good crew that were professional, polite and tidy. All paint, tarps, etc, were cleaned up and stored away and out of sight at the end of the day.

house painters, pressure washing, roofing, siding
+ 2 moreGary had repainted our house a year earlier. When we installed a new roof this summer there was significant repair work needed to the facia and decking. I contacted Gary to paint the new material to match the work a year earlier. His crew did an excellent job and were very good about leaving the job site clean. The work was done in only two visits one 2-3 hr visit to do the power washing, then one long workday a few weeks later to do the painting. When it became clear that the amount of work needed was substantially less than had been estimated in Gary's bid he was forthright in adjusting the final invoice accordingly.
Description of Work: Power wash entire house Touch up painting of eves and facia where new material had been installed in conjunction with the installation of a new roof, also touch up painting on a few areas of siding.

+ -1 moreTerrible. Angie's List needs to seriously delve into these glowing reviews. I usually have had good experiences with Angies List in the past and I was one of their best fans when talking to neighbors, co-workers, family, etc. But lately have had bad luck with the top contractors we've used. BTW, I do have all the photos and documentation of redoing the work that Gary's workers did. I don't know what they told Gary they did, but it was obvious these workers were not skilled painters. We paid Gary for the terrible "prep" work, but are pursuing this with the CSLB as well as others. After telling Gary we were disappointed with the work and would not go further with his services, he became irate and was very disrespectful.
Description of Work: DO NOT USE! He subs all his work out to people that obviously have never painted. Gary shows up and tells you he does all the work and how he's there everyday, but it is a pack of lies! We hired him to paint our complete downstairs. Family room, laundry room, bath, bedroom, and hall. He showed up the first day with two of his "workers", which is odd since he claims on his license that he does not have any employees. He tells us that he has another job at the docks and he has this business on the side so he has to work there for the day and instructs his workers to start on the prepping of 3 doors and painting a ceiling in the bathroom. We should have stopped there, but agreed to go ahead and see how they would do. With some refining they did a good job on the prep, but when it came to the final painting, it was awful!! There we're brush strokes and uneven roller marks. We have since had to have everything stripped and redone. We like quality and do not mind paying for it and we thought we were going to get that with GK Painting.

+ 0 moreGary and his team were awesome to work with. He did work in almost every single area of our house, and it was all done within one week. His bid was very reasonable, and he was certainly the most interested in our work, more so than anyone else. He helped me with colors for my baby girl's room, who knew that pink could be such a difficult color, and so easy to get wrong? He picked out 2 pinks that I would never have landed on, and it is PERFECT, exactly what I wanted, not pep to, not Disney princess, not bubblegum, more like ancient walls in India. It is just beautiful. His guys are very sweet, very professional, very pleasant to have around. They went so far as to watch the baby while I scrambled around getting our things together to leave for the day, and bringing in groceries they saw sitting in my car. They were absolutely wonderful to us, start to finish. We are thrilled with the results, and have a list of new things to ask him to do!
Description of Work: Painted and finished out kitchen ceiling, painted bathroom, painted & molding in baby room, living room ceiling, bedroom window repair and paint, hallway patching & paint.

+ 0 moreA crew of 4-5 showed up on time for five days. They paid a great deal of attention to detail in the prep and it shows as I cannot see where they patched. They sanded and caulked all window trim and baseboards. The actual painting went quickly due to their meticulous prep. Gary's crew cleaned up at the end of each day and were respectful of belongings and covered them well. We had a great experience with Gary... he's very personable, responsive, and easy to work with. We highly recommend GK Painting.
Description of Work: Gary and his crew gave us what feels like a whole new house. They painted the entire interior of our 1300 square foot bungalow including all trim, interior and exterior doors , ceilings and closets. They changed all the interior door hardware and everything looks crisp and new.

+ 1 moreThe quality of the work GK Painting did is top notch. Many of our friends have already commented on how great the house looks. My favorite aspect of GK Painting was working with Gary directly. He obviously cared that we, as the customer, were happy and he helped up choose our colors and options carefully. He was also very responsive when needed in responding to phone calls, emails and text messages. We've worked with many contractors on our home and GK Painting was the easiest to work with and they did a great job.
Description of Work: Gary and his team painted the whole exterior of our 2 story home and also painted the fence that runs along the border of our property.

Although we did get other quotes for less (which is the reason I rated the price as Fair - we didn't feel it was either Excellent or Lousy), we felt more comfortable that Gary was the guy for the job, and we were right. He was professional, courteous, on-time, reliable, responsive, cleaned up when finished, and most importantly: he did a quality job. He also recommended an electrician he works with closely for some electrical work we needed done. We are very happy with the end result, and we would absolutely use Gary in the future.

The attention to detail (filling nail holes, caulking, etc.) was excellent. They moved all furniture and put it back without issue. Gary has followed up with us to do some minor touch-up work after carpet was installed, even though he's already been paid for the job. Will definitely use on any future interior paint job.
