We love our 'new' house, thanks to T. Paul Sek Ecopainting! Before, it looked gloomy and uneven in its hues. Now, the walls look far lighter across the changing light of day, making the house more livable and attractive. Debbie's color consultation gave us very helpful advice on what colors to choose. We settled on a shade we hadn't initially considered. We also greatly appreciated the care taken by the workers to protect our furniture and move everything back into order. The finish was highly professional and very precise, with no discernible edge bleeds. We also expected to return to a house full of fumes but because they use low VOC paints, we were pleasantly surprised by very little detectable offgassing. They communicated in a timely fashion, coordinated key pick up, and overall helped us feel like we were in excellent hands. We strongly recommend T. Paul Sek Ecopainting.

Debbie and Paul are an exceptional team. I have found them to be the best at communicating and performing quality work. Debbie is prompt, professional and always maintains a high level of communication with regards to estimates, scheduling and addressing concerns. Paul is in a league of his own when it comes to painting with quality, accuracy, and speed. A dangerous combination that is rare to find amongst the trades, let along from a painting contractor. Paul painted the exterior of one my clients homes in the Pajaro Dunes community. From the beginning I knew he would be the best fit for this project. As a general contractor I need to make sure my clients concerns are met with promptness and honesty. Debbie and Paul were never disturbed with any of my clients concerns and made my job as smooth as it could be. Overall this company is proficient , extremally personable, easy to work with and worth every penny.

The very best in the business. This is the third time we have had to paint our home and probably the last for at least 10 years or more. Debbie was so helpful picking out the colors. Can't imagine using anyone else ever again. The detail was impeccable, the prep work beyond any other painter and the finish work perfection.
Description of Work: Paint was peeling. Needed a whole new paint job.

Response from T. Paul Sek EcoPainting
You are such wonderful people, I wish we were neighbors so you can keep me laughing - I really enjoyed getting to know you better during our time together choosing colors. Your adorable, priceless, oceanfront home was indeed in need of TLC. I have photos if you wish that I can share with you to see all the detailed prep work we performed. We are so very thankful you chose to work with us. Your home looks perfect and the colors are so fitting to your Santa Cruz beach bungalow. We hope to see you in passing, be well. Debbie, Paul, Cyrus, Diego & Alex

Paul was very easy to work with and strives to do a perfect job. There were a few initial communication issues as I live in TX and my daughter and son-in-law live in our CA house. Debbie and my daughter played phone tag initially. (I, too, have difficulty reaching my daughter by phone.) Once we got everyone's schedules aligned, it was a cake walk. My daughter sent pictures and they look great. She raves about how gorgeous the arbor in particular turned out. Although we gave pricing a B, it was well worth the cost to us to use environmentally friendly paint and we were able to obtain a 10% discount from Paul for scheduling and submitting the down payment at the end of 2014.
Description of Work: Prepped and painted 2 story, 2000 square foot home and stained and sealed a small arbor over the hot tub area.

Best contractor experience we've ever had. Paul was on siIte with his crew every day of the projects duration. Not drop of paint was found where it didn't belong. Additionally, Paul used environment freindly, odorless products.
Description of Work: Complete refinishing and painting of our log home and detached wood outbuildings.

Paul and his wife Debbie were great. They were prompt with getting us two sets of bids -- one using the eco-friendly paints and one using Kelly Moore. The bids actually were very close, so we selected the eco paint. Paul thoroughly explained his eco-friendly approach to painting. He explained the advantages of the eco paints and how he carefully cleans up after a job. We got bids from 2 other companies, and his was competitive with the others (and that was including using the eco friendly paints!). His wife, Debbie, gave us some consultation on colors, since we were having a hard time selecting a soft yellow for one of the bedrooms. She can actually be hired as a color consultant, which is very handy ... especially if you are trying to introduce bold colors. Paul and his crew showed up on schedule, completed the project on time and the paint looked beautiful! None of the old paint showed through. We later called them for a last minute project. We had guests coming in a couple of days and needed a room quickly painted. Even though they were booked up, Debbie managed to squeeze us in. Again, one of their painters came out and finished the job quickly and with great attention to detail. Best of all, the eco friendly paint doesn't smell at all, so the guests couldn't tell that the room had just been painted. I highly recommend using Paul and Debbie.
Description of Work: Paul and his crew came out and painted 2 bedrooms, a hallway, dining room, living room and kitchen. They also returned and caulked/touched up our baseboards after they had been reinstalled by the flooring contractors. The bedrooms had strong colors on the walls (huge black and white checkers in one room), so we were concerned about getting nice, even coverage. We didn't want any of the previous paint showing through.
