Colossus Painting

Colossus was able to generate a bid on the spot and their lead-time was not bad. We told them we would be ready to go earlier if anyone else had to move their jobs out. Soon we got a call and they were ready to start in under 2-weeks! Yikes! Their team masked off really well, and paid attention to making the house livable each evening before they left. The painting quality was very good. I was very pleased with the job of changing the color of some stained bookcases we have. They came out looking really good. The job took a little longer than they had originally thought, but other than that it was great work.

Work was excellent, even though they had people out sick, Benjamin did a great job on his own. Amy stopped by a couple times to check that work was proceeding correctly. Very happy with the result. Highly recommend.

This crew was wonderful. Amy was easy to talk to and very professional. Everyone who worked on the job was punctual and detail oriented. We had a challenging room to paint not only because of the size but because the previous paint job was very dark, messy (lots of "globs" to sand down and clean up) and the wall paint overlapped with the ceiling paint in MANY places. Rick (I think that was his name!) in particular took his time and went the extra mile to make sure the paint job looked great. I am thrilled with the result. We want to paint the rest of the living areas and I will definitely be hiring Colossus Painting again.

Job completed per commitment (6-days) for a 2-story approximate 2900 sq ft home. The crew was excellent and very receptive to my questions and comments, I would not hesitate to use Colossus Painting again or recommend them to friends and family.

They did an excellent job! They started a few days late but completed job in a week. They power-washed the exterior, scraped/sanded all wood trim and iron fence, patched stucco on the fence, and painted two coats. I had some termite damage to my some of my trim. They did a great job in patched/painted those areas. I had some missing fence post caps. I bought some replacement metal caps and they painted/mounted them onto the fence. The front door was pretty weather-beaten and they did a great job in refinish the door.

Fantastic job by any measurement. Competitively priced, prompt, professional and courteous. Would recommend with no reservations.

They were there on the scheduled days and did a excellent job.

Colossus Painting gave a fair estimate (slightly above most others), explained in detail how they would prepare the surfaces, what products they would use, how they would protect surroundings and what their warranty was. They answered a number of questions we had during the time we were considering which company to hire and showed patience and respect for our decision process. They were prompt and professional, sending a crew out every day, cleaning up well after each session. They had excellent skills and did an outstanding job on our house and fencing. We appreciated that they are licensed and carry workers' compensation insurance. We have had a couple of touch-up issues since the job, and Colossus has happily come out and taken care of the issues promptly. They use high-quality paints and offer a good warranty on their work. All of the people we have worked with in the company have been helpful, capable and professional. .

I hired Colossus Painting after reading many positive reviews on Angie’s List and Yelp. Josh, the owner, was super easy to work with – very responsive and accommodating. He truly cared about making sure that everything was done to our satisfaction. Josh came to our site daily to check on his crew. The job took one week – with power washing the entire house, prep work, several coats of paint, Drylock on the side wall, and clean-up. The quality of work was outstanding! Upon Josh’s recommendation, we chose the Dunn-Edwards Evershield paint (premium exterior line) to address our concerns about dirt and UV protection. It turned out beautiful. The entire crew was professional and paid attention to details and cleanup. I’d like to thank Jason and Ralphie and the rest of the guys for doing such a great job. I’d highly recommend Colossus Painting to anyone who expects quality workmanship at good value.

very well. Some supervising needed to make sure prep was done right like removing old loose paint and dirt from flashing near ground before painting. did a great job patching a large hole in exterior wall where gas line brought through for BBQ. Was great in helping me pick the right color. Overall very pleased.

Excellent. Will definitely hire again when I need painting. I highly recommend Colossus Painting

Months after the job was complete, I called Joshua, the owner, about a few concerns I had. He sent a crew out to work on those areas--at no charge. I was impressed with his responsiveness and willingness to address my concerns. 😊

Colossus came out and gave us an estimate within 1-2 days after I called. They were able to start work exactly when I needed it done. They finished the work on time, with no inconvenience to our family. This is the 3rd time in 17 years we had the trim and eaves painted, and Colossus did the best / most thorough job prepping for painting, priming and painting. The other contractors were quick to spray everything; Colossus actually used paintbrushes to apply the primer and paint. They also took the time to repair the dry rot correctly - instead of just slapping bondo over everything, Colossus actually replaced the rotted wood and primed and painted it. Was very pleased with the quality of their work and the reasonable/competitive pricing. Would definitely use Colossus again or recommend them to friends and neighbors.

They were here for three weeks. They did an excellent job and I intend on using them again in the future. They are professional they communicate about everything from billing to scheduling. They were on time everyday. They kept me inform and I would say that they are the best painting company that I have worked with.

Reasonable cost. Start & finished as promised. Home looks beautiful with new paint. Painters were so professional and personable.

Good experience would hire again. Eddie, the painter and his assistant were on time and did great work.

They are a San Diego business and they are great. I would recommend them. They were amazing. They were responsive, punctual, professional and everything. I can’t wait to use them again; they were great.

Fantastic job! We were very pleased with it. The exterior of our house hadn't been painted in about 15 years and it really needed it. They sanded down the wood trim where it needed it and reapplied stucco to a lot of areas that it had just fallen off over the years. Their wood guy replaced some boards on our balcony because they were dry rotted. Colossus Painting really focused on the preparation which is extremely important when painting. Josh told me they could paint the garage doors and at first I declined because I thought they would look tacky without the original finish on them. I was wrong....they look like new garage doors! The crew works very hard and really pays attention to detail. I would definitely use this company again. If you're having a hard time choosing colors go over to Dunn Edwards in Poway and talk to Jessica their color specialist. There is no charge and she really is a big help.

The entire experience was great. I had 6 estimates for this project and Amy's estimate was very competitive. After I selected them, I had concerns with my paint color choice. I contacted Amy several times before the paining began and each time she replied promptly, made suggestions as what to do and made me feel confident that everything was going to be fine. (And she was 100% correct!) The crew was excellent. They we always on time, professional, friendly and did an great job cleaning up each day before they left. They asked us each day if we were happy with what we saw. It was great knowing that they wanted us to be happy also. Amy also stopped by to make sure we were happy with the entire experience. I highly recommend Colossus and will definitely use them again for any future project.

Amy Berner, the owner, came out to bid on the project and gave the lowest of three bids. The bid of $3,000 included a 10% Angie's List discount. She sent a team of three painters, who completed the work in two days. In addition to the painting, they did a considerable amount of spackling to smooth out the wall texture, which is something that the other painting companies were not willing to do. Amy came at the beginning of the project to make sure the painters understood what they were supposed to do, and then she came at the end of the project to inspect their work. Overall, they did an excellent job of painting. However, in an attempt to protect my mahogany staircase, they used painter's tape to tape down heavy paper on the stairs, and when they removed the paper at the end of the project, the painter's tape tore off several strips of the polyurethane finish. If it were not for this, I would have given them an A for quality. In the future, I will make sure that no one puts tape on my stairs. It turned out that I was able to touch up the polyurethane finish, but I would have preferred not to have had to do so in the first place. Even so, I will use this company again for my future painting needs because, overall, they did an excellent job.

They wanted $2,500. Nothing really stood out specifically. I thought that they were very professional. I feel as though they have an excellent service, and I was comfortable with them. I had no problems with them. I didn’t feel like I was being robbed or anything, and everything was straight out and upfront, but their price was just a little too expensive for me. I would consider them in the future if I had to.

It was just a fabulous experience! The crew showed up on time and was very efficient in completing the job. The quality of the work is outstanding and this is coming from someone who is very particular about the finished product.

I didn't use them only because another painter had friends in the neighborhood and there prices were the same. However, had that not been the case I would have went with Colossus painting. Very professional , all work is written in the contract. Huge number of references. Price was great. for one story. Would hire.- 2 coats, clean up, etc.

These guys are fantastic! I called and actually got a person- not a machine, something I always appreciate, and made an appointment. Amy came out to give me an estimate. Later we set up a time to have the work done and unfortunately I had to push it back a week due to other work I was having done(in the same area). In all my contacts with them, they were always accommodating and friendly. I got a call from Amy the night before work was scheduled to start, to let me know when the crew would arrive. The crew was on time, professional and always friendly. It was a big job and was scheduled to take approx. 5 days. They started on the Kitchen first and had everything taped up or tarped so nothing was damaged. They cleaned up after each day, and made sure I had access to the things like the 'fridge, etc at night, which I really appreciated, since having no kitchen for several days is rough. We're really happy with it all. We had the cabinets painted rather then lacquered, which does allow for some small amount of grain to show in places. (which was our preference) We will definitely be calling them when its time to do the rest of the interior of the house.

The team was very professional and cleaned up after themselves daily. They were very receptive in allowing us to use the rooms required for daily living until the very end, and the disruption was minimal. After several months, the paint began to peel on the doors and trim. Josh was very responsive, came by the house, and took a look at the job. His company stood behind their work, and they prepared and repainted the trim work in its entirety. They are a professional, courteous, efficient company, and we would definitely recommend them and use them in the future.
