 (Part 4) Park Hill Condominiums Project Spotlight: A Restoration Complete

After months of careful planning, coordination, and hands-on restoration, the Park Hill Condominiums project in San Francisco is officially complete.

This final phase marks the close of one of the largest and most historically significant exterior HOA repaint projects MB Jessee Painting has taken on. Nearly a century of architecture, hundreds of original details, and an active residential community, all brought together under a single, carefully executed plan. And, we finished the work in time for the building’s centennial celebration. Mission accomplished!

Looking Back at the Full Scope

From the beginning, this project involved a whole lot more than a standard repaint. Park Hill’s buildings date back 100 years, and preserving that character while protecting the structures for decades to come was always the priority.

Over the course of the project, our team completed:

  • Restoration and repainting across multiple historic buildings

  • Careful preparation and coating of 750+ original wood windows

  • A full SIKA waterproofing system to protect against long-term moisture intrusion

  • Custom color matching to respect the property’s original palette

  • A section-by-section workflow designed to minimize disruption for residents

Every phase was also approached with the understanding that this wasn’t just a job site; it was home for hundreds of residents.

From Scaffolding to the Final Reveal

If you’ve been following along, you may remember our first video, which captured the early days of the project: scaffolding going up, extensive prep work underway, and the sheer scale of what lay ahead.

That behind-the-scenes look told one part of the story.

Now, with the scaffolding down and the final coats in place, the finished video and photography show the transformation in full. This is the moment where all the planning, coordination, and detail work come together.

And How Did the Client and Residents Feel During This Large-Scale HOA Repaint?

We love sharing the big reveal, but we also love sharing feedback from our client and the residents. Here are a couple of Google Reviews we received:

"MB Jessee Painting is just completing the exterior recoating of our historic condominium complex in the heart of San Francisco in time for our centennial celebration, and the community couldn't be happier with the service and outcome. The crew was careful, attentive, and professional. We will continue to use their services and recommitment highly."

-Jean L

"I'm a long-term resident of the Park Hill condo complex which you just completed painting. I've been through three prior painting projects and I feel compelled to express my recognition of the OUTSTANDING job MB Jessee did. I'm no expert but I can tell high quality when I see it. Your team was far superior to any other contractor our HOA has hired... I have spoken with a few residents here and my views seem to be shared. It really a job very well done."

-Steve

Thank You for Following Along!

This has been one of our most-watched and followed projects, and we can’t tell you how much we appreciate the support and interest shared along the way. Thank you!

We’re also immensely grateful to the Park Hill Condominiums team for the trust they placed in MB Jessee Painting throughout every phase of this project. From the earliest planning conversations to the final walkthrough, it was a true collaboration.

If you haven’t yet, we invite you to explore the earlier posts in this series to see how the project evolved from start to finish, and to enjoy the final video and photos that capture the completed restoration.

It’s the kind of project that reminds us why we love what we do.

Customer Reviews

“I cannot imagine finer painters--and I have worked with many. They work exceptionally hard. It is a joy to see their workmanship!”

— Alicia R.
Oakland

“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

“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.”

— Thama B.

“The painters at MB Jesse are top notch! Cesar's team was super friendly and helpful. They were very polite and accommodating. Their expertise in everything painting related was evident in their attention to detail and efficiency painting tricky spaces. The apartment looks brand new!”

— Adam Swisher

“I just wanted to thank you all for doing such a phenomenal job on our recent house painting. We are very happy with the outcome and can't say enough good things about the crew. Everyone working on the project was outstanding and made it a great experience. Thanks to everyone.”

— Daylan

“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, 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

“Our paint crew did a great job and the foreman, Gersson was exceptionally great to work with. He was always available to answer questions, good at problem-solving, very patient, kind, and highly professional with great customer service. We definitely recommend this company, and Gersson and his crew.”

— Andrea Y.

“I just wanted to send you an email to say that John did such a great job over here today. He is truly a hard worker. He has the perfect balance of friendliness, honesty, and professionalism. I trust him. He takes the time to do the job to the best of his ability and that is what sets him (and your company) apart from the competition. He didn't make me feel rushed. He really made me feel like our job was the most important thing in the world. Thanks again!”

— Jo

“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.

“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

“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.”
