Get Ready, Because Winter Is On The Way!

Get Ready, Because Winter Is On The Way!

Brrr! There is a definite bite in the air these last few mornings. In our front yard we have a hideous, er… “charming” yard gnome that my son adores. Affixed to his round belly is a temperature gauge. This morning it tells me it is a balmy fifty degrees out. Like I said, brrr! I love fall though. Fall is my favorite season. Across the San Francisco Bay Area, the days are mostly sunny and we’re done with the scorching, sweat of the summer but not quite into the bitter freeze and drizzle of winter; it is perfect! Fall means cozy sweaters and boots, a cashmere throw over the sofaback, and a roast chicken filling the house with the smell of rosemary and garlic. And the colors autumn brings us! True, this isn’t the storied leaf transformation of fall days on the East Coast. But on our tree-lined streets from Piedmont to San Francisco to Lafayette to Atherton, one can see the beautiful red, gold and orange leaves falling from above. Lovely!

But these divine days of fall are all too short. As it starts to get nippier, we know that winter is just around the corner and with it will be the chilly—and seemingly endless!—rain in the hills of the East Bay on the on San Francisco streets. That’s why now in early fall it is the perfect time to have an MB Jessee professional come out to your home to do a visual inspection of your exterior. Got some questions you’d like to ask your local paint expert? Does your deck need to be resealed now or can it wait til spring? Should you do the trim before the rains set it? There is still time to have one of our estimators come out and help you with these exterior issues and get your project on our fall schedule.

Gosh, I haven’t even mentioned the best part of autumn—the holidays! Halloween is right around the corner and Thanksgiving is at its heels. Are you having the whole family over this year? Take a long look at your formal dining room. Are there areas that could use some sprucing up? Perhaps you’ve noticed more than a few nicks in your trim? Or maybe you’ve been itching to change up the feel of your home completely with new colors in the living and dining rooms and the kitchen. These are excellent projects to undertake as the weather turns colder. A visit from MB Jessee Painting can help transform your home into a showplace for your friends and family this holiday season!

Give MB Jessee a call today and we’ll have one of our consultants visit to discuss your project!

Customer Reviews

“Thank you for the support you have given the Women's Cancer Resource Center over the past year!”

— Margo - Director Women's Cancer Resource Center

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”

“Dear Matt,You must be so proud of your men! They were fantastic to have around. Polite, courteous and hardworking. I am so pleased with the outcome of our home--in fact, I couldn't be any more pleased than I am!”

— Mrs. S

“Charles finished yesterday and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed meeting Charles and having him in our home. He is a great guy in addition to his attention to detail in his work, the protection of our floors, walls and furnishings, and his overall interaction with us both. I would be pleased to recommend him to any of my clients.”

— Ken Morrison

“I had my wooden kitchen cabinets painted white. Anabal and Danielle were doing the job. I have nothing but praise for them. They came on time, cleaned up every day, were respective, friendly and helpful. If the rest of Jessee's crew are as great as Anabal and Danielle, this company will go far.”

— Anni S.

“MB Jessee just finished our exterior and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The foreman (Pedro) and lead painter (Ricardo) were incredible to work with: they communicated scheduling clearly, Ricardo was a joy to be around every day, the showed up early every day, were incredibly tidy and did great paint work. The final walk through experience was incredible. Pedro pointed out items I missed demonstrating a clear desire to complete another quality project. I highly recommend them. As others have noted they definitely aren't the cheapest but you quickly realize that you're getting what you pay for. The 3 year guarantee is also a nice touch since there are likely touch up items that will show up after the job is done.”

— Joshua Jansen

“Matt, We are very happy with how all of the painting worked out. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the work in the bathroom. I liked working with Victor, he and Marvin were extremely conscientious about doing a great job, not just the minimum. I know the front door took a lot longer than you'd expected. But they did it PERFECTLY. We never thought it could turn out like that! Thanks again for the great work. We'll be calling you again in the future!”

“It was a great experience working with MB Jessee. The crew was careful and thorough as they painted the house, sealed stucco cracks, repaired dry-rotted wood, stained the deck, etc. Robert, Gersson, Jose, and all of the people involved in the process from the estimate to the job completion were friendly and professional.”

— Mike C.
Livermore, CA

“The completed 'Client Satisfaction Survey' we sent in only modestly reflects our total satisfaction with the work. As a retired small business owner, I compliment you on setting 'best practices' that are consistently followed. Everything described in your marketing materials was a reality! The crew is a super bowl team and our neighbors commented on how quiet they were. We are very happy to be a client of MB Jessee.”
