HGTV and MB Jessee Painting:  A Winning Combination!

HGTV and MB Jessee Painting:  A Winning Combination!

One of my favorite guilty pleasures in life is to curl up on my sofa on a rainy weekend afternoon with a cup of tea and watch a bit of TV. And always guaranteed to bring my husband and even my little boy over to the sofa to cozy down and join me is an episode of Curb Appeal: The Block, the exterior home transformation show on HGTV. We’re all hooked on it! If you haven’t tuned in, the show features a home that is in desperate need of an exterior makeover. The homes they choose are the eyesores of their neighborhoods! The HGTV team swoops in like design angels and helps out the lucky homeowner with a fabulous exterior renovation plan. After wowing both the viewers at home and the home’s residents with their creative redesign concept, they swing into action. After a whirlwind few days, the home is revealed—and dramatically transformed. And, if all that isn’t enough to lure you in for an episode, HGTV also spruces up other homes in the neighborhood with a fresh coat of paint on some trim here, a few new planters out front there, or a refashioned patio area a few houses down the road. It is such fun to watch!

A few weeks ago, the HGTV producers of Curb Appeal: The Block were looking to team up with a quality painting contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area on some projects for the show. Their search quickly lead them to MB Jessee. After all, with our reputation for providing excellent customer service and superior craftsmanship combined with their amazing creativity and talent, MB Jessee and HGTV are a perfect match! After meeting with Matt, our president, on site at homes in Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco counties, HGTV was ready to put our MB Jessee painters to work. The first painting project for the show was a lovely Spanish style home in the Berkeley Hills and we’ve since moved on to a home in El Cerrito. A classic San Francisco row house in the Mission District is up next with several more painting & staining projects planned over the next few months.

The episodes of HGTV’s Curb Appeal: The Block featuring MB Jessee Painting and the unique homes of the San Francisco Bay Area will air locally in April of next year. Check it out and let us know your thoughts!

“Julie, by the way, I have never been so impressed with the service of a painting job before! It was like magical elves came and painted our walls without us having to do a thing! It looks amazing and just wanted to let you know how happy we are. Thanks”

“The kitchen looks NEW! You guys are amazing.”

“MB Jessee painters are stellar! As a designer I've worked with numerous companies over the years, and MB Jessee is a top-notch firm. From the first phone call to the final clean up, every person is courteous, professional, and hard working. The owner, Matt, is a charitable leader who has instilled his team with integrity and honesty providing the customer with a first class experience at a fair price with a paint job that is guaranteed to last. I highly recommend MB Jessee. Thank you Matt and your STAR crew-Daniel, Rigoberto, Vicente, Edy, Pedro, and Mario, for a job well executed! Cynthia Brian, ASID, Starstyle® Productions, llc”

“Today I received a beautiful bouquet from your company. It was totally unexpected and very much appreciated--a lovely surprise. Also today, your crew finished my job. I am so pleased with all their fine work. Richard is absolutely amazing and a total delight to work with. He was also extremely helpful during the paint color process. The interior work in my home far exceeded my expectations. A big thank you to you and the crew for an outstanding job. Thank you, thank you for a terrific job!”

“I love the article in the paper on your company. Thank you for supporting our community by painting at the Claremont Middle School. Thanks!”

— Carla Banks

“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.”

“The finish on my kitchen cabinets had failed, becoming tacky and grimy around the handles. M B Jessee gave me a reasonable quote, far below some others, and did an outstanding job, striping the original varnish and refinishing with a new lacquer finish. The cabinets look like new. Work was done 1 day faster than estimated. The crew was extremely hard-working, considerate, and neat. Highly recommend M B Jessee.”

“Matt, Julie & Ricardo, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the three of you for the wonderful job you did in hosting the SFBA NARI Chapter Meeting on Wednesday evening. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Members and guests alike walked away with a truly positive experience. The "painter for a day" and the cookies in the paint cans were an absolute brilliant touch and received rave reviews. What a wonderful way to do such positive marketing. Thanks again for a truly memorable experience for our members and guests. You are valued as a NARI member.”

— Judy Tufo, SFBA NARI Executive Director

“We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the work of MB Jessee Painting and your employees. Everything turned out beautiful. Our foreman was great! He was punctual, professional, neat and very accommodating ... and went the extra mile. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family.”

“Edy and crew are hard at work. They are doing a great job. Very professional outfit you have. Your crew is a delight. You may use me for a reference!”

“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.”
