Project Color 2011: And the Winner Is

Amazing! As 2010 draws to a close, so does our search for a winner for the sixth annual MB Jessee Project Color, our Painting for Charity giveaway event. This year we received more submissions for Project Color than ever before. And they kept pouring in—from every corner of the San Francisco Bay area—right up until the end. We received so many heartfelt stories of truly deserving nonprofits and organizations. Thank you Bay Area!

The voting was incredibly difficult. The stories & missions of each entry tugged at our heartstrings and it was a daunting task to choose just one to vote for. But the votes are now tallied and the winner is……The Berkeley Food & Housing Project! For forty years the BFHP has been working to ease & end homelessness for men, women & children in Berkeley. Their work involves outreach to homeless veterans, victims of domestic violence, and the mentally ill. BFHP has an amazing & dedicated housing case management team that works incredibly hard to find suitable housing for people on fixed and extremely limited incomes. For Project Color 2011 MB Jessee Painting will be painting the BFHP’s North County Women’s Center on Dwight Way in Berkeley.

Our planning for the project is just getting underway and we’ll be meeting the BFHP in the coming weeks to discuss timelines, colors, and other specifics. But MB Jessee is thrilled to say “congratulations!” to the Berkeley Food & Housing Project and we can’t wait for the painting to begin!

Customer Reviews

“My entire experience with MB Jesse was very professional. The crew were very friendly and super accommodating of my ridiculous schedule and geriatric pets in the house. The finished product, which was pretty much my entire house, far exceeds my expectations. Would definitely work with them again!”

— Heather Jordan

“I can't say enough about how courteous and professional my foreman was. He was on time every morning and arrived cheerful and ready to go. He is highly organized and very thoughtful. He was extremely careful and respectful when moving my belongings - a mature professional.”

— Nora Robinson

“High quality work from a pleasant and qualified staff. Thank you!”

— Paul Markovich

“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.

“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”

“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

“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

“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.”
