Help MB Jessee Help Oakland’s Kids!

I want to tell you about this terrific place I’ve discovered. It is a skate park. A clean, safe place where kids (and those who are kids at heart) can skate and play. It allows kids of all ages and races to have fun together, to develop their skills and support each other and a real community has taken root there. Sounds awesome, right? This amazing place is right here in West Oakland. Yes, West Oakland. These days good news for Oakland is awfully hard to come by. That’s why I want to share Town Park Skatepark at De Fremery Park with you.

I’ve seen this amazing skatepark because I visit there often with my son. Town Park was developed by Oakland artist and local hero Keith “K-Dub” Williams. K-Dub hoped to create a facility that would let Oakland kids stay in their own community instead of traveling to other cities to skate. The skatepark quickly became a destination spot and plays host to contests and other events often. Many skateboarding pros visit often and skate with and inspire Oakland’s kids. Town Park truly represents the very best of Oakland.

As wonderful as Town Park is, there are still some problems here. There are areas of the park that need to have work done to make it safe for the kids. Skateboarding ramp equipment is expensive! One ramp in particular needs to be resurfaced—to the tune of $10000. I have been able negotiate the costs down but we are still about $5500 short.

Here’s what I’d like to offer. For a contribution of $500 you’ll receive an MB Jessee Painter For A Day certificate (a $600 value and redeemable for one full year!), a MB Jessee hat and a limited edition Oaklandish Town Park hoodie. And every cent of that $500 goes right to the skatepark! The certificate can be used for yourself or you may give it as a gift to a friend or family member. So really, it’s a double gift—one for you or a loved one and one for the kids of Oakland!

So what do you think? Will you help the kids of Oakland—while helping yourself to a beautiful paint job!—this holiday season? Thank you in advance for your support and a very Happy Holidays to you!

Customer Reviews

“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 walkthrough 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.”

“Richard and crew have been great, for sure. As much as I look forward to having the job done and my house back in order, I really enjoyed having them around. You should feel really good about how they represent your company.”

— Jessica Dodson

“Julie,Just to let you know I am very appreciative of your crew catching the plumbing/mold problem. It was very astute of them. I wanted to let you know that again your crew has done excellent work here, please pass this along to Mr. Jessee. There are some bumps in the road here, but the painting and your crew has not been one of them. Their work is the only thing going right currently, and this crew is very nice and respectful. It is much appreciated. Thank you again.”

“The entire MB Jessee team is courteous, efficient and professional. From scheduling and estimating to the crew managers and crew, they all did an excellent job on a small (but complicated) two room project in my house. I'm already thinking about getting them scheduled for the next project in the spring.”

— Cari Cheney

“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.”

“Hello Matt,Just another notice of thanks to your wonderful crew, Rigoberto, Javier and John. They did fantastic work, with Rigo providing meticulous and conscientious attention to the details and excellent woodwork finishing, as evidenced by the beautiful fireplace. Javier did a fantastic job in the bathroom especially, it looks "brand new," and John always does quality work, both with the interior and exterior. I can tell they care about what they do. Rigo's "punch out" was very thorough, too. I will call again when I need some more work and will definitely recommend your company and fine crew. I also felt as a homeowner, I could leave my house in their good hands during the day and that took a lot of worry from me, they were honest, prompt and reliable. They were also very kind, respectful and clean in their work, very professional. Thank you.”

“I want to express my thanks for a job well done. The rooms look great and there is no problem with any marks on the all the trim, floor, carpet, etc. The paint job is lovely. I also want to express my thanks for the level of professionalism the foreman showed in running the job. He was very attentive to any changes I needed to make, was extremely careful in getting the faux paint color and effect correct. Thanks so much for a job well done.”

“Many thanks to Rigoberto and Damon and the extraordinary team who transformed my castle in the skies.They are magicians. I appreciate their work very much.”

“I loved working with M.B. Jessee from start to finish on a relatively small paint job that grew a bit. I felt in very good hands from the moment Matt Jessee came out to give me the estimate and talk about my job. He was very easy to talk to and he handled my changes very well. Then the actual work done by Rigoberto and Mario was impeccable. They were neat and meticulous and the paint job looks beautiful. I could not have asked for more and when I did, they accommodated me 100%. I will not hesitate to call M.B. Jessee again and to refer them to friends.”
