Nu Coat Painting

Their prices were marginally higher than others. We didn't use them because we ended up just painting it ourselves. They were very responsive.

Generally it went well.. contractor was on time and responsive to all my questions prior to job and kept work site clean during painting. The only issue with the job were the preparations to fix the cracks in stucco prior to painting which are noticable after painting.

They were pretty good. He was pretty busy. The workers were good and did a good job.

It's hard to say too much since we did not have George perform the work.

Initial bids were received from three painting contractors. Nu Coat was selected due to there ability to provied subcontractors to repair and replace wood siding. Make sure as we did to have a full working relationship with Nu Coat

He's quoted on his website "Prompt, Neat, Courteous Highest Quality, Lowest Prices Experienced and Dependable." George, the owner, forgot to put in his website "will not call you or email back for a estimate." He informed me he was going to submit the estimate by email. So far nothing.

The exterior house paint job by his very professional crew went well. They started on the day George indicated and under the foreman, Darwin, the crew arrived before the start time of 7:30 am and worked steadily until post 4 pm every day ( 6.5 days for one story house.) I was concerned about getting paint drips on my deck and driveway ( both relatively new and which abut the exterior walls) so they were diligent every day in putting down tarps. I haven't seen any spots so that worked out. I was also concerned about shoes on my interior wood floors so the crew removed their shoes when they had to use the bathroom. Overall I am very pleased with George and his professional crew and have already asked him for a bid for replastering and repainting my living room next.

This is the same input as I gave the BBB survey: The owner George De La Portilla and his company did an excellent job for an complete exterior house painting job. Our house is a fixer and the work needed was more than what George predicted (a lot of wood work issues). However, his crew worked hard to keep schedule. The cost was exactly as quoted and all aspects of the implementation met our expectations. George was always available to discuss issues and he was present throughout the 2.5 weeks to complete the job. At the end, we started to find the small items to do and not only did Nu-Coat address those issues, they went beyond our inspections to ensure that everything was to the best condition as possible (e.g. insisting on putting another paint coat on the porch beams to ensure that they were right, advising to not paint certain pre-fab painted items - which we offered to pay additional for- since in the long run the paint would not last as expected etc.). This was greatly appreciated.
