Proud To Serve At the Corporate Volunteer Work Day for George Mark Children’s House

 Proud To Serve At the Corporate Volunteer Work Day for George Mark Children’s House

The folks at George Mark Children’s House in San Leandro are the best of the best. Their entire mission is to provide exceptional palliative pediatric care, offering critical support for children (and their families) facing chronic or terminal illnesses. They were the first of their kind in the United States, and are passionate about seeing more facilities carry on a similar mission across the country.

When we get a chance to help these wonderful folks, we take it.

While we’ve had numerous opportunities to get involved and give back over the years, the flagship event is called the Corporate Volunteer Work Day. Several other companies get involved as well, sending teams to join forces and help with routine facility maintenance items.

Vincent, our Operations Manager, plays an integral role. He knows how to manage and coordinate projects like nobody else, and showed up early with John to make sure the stage was set for the painting projects we needed to accomplish. Rollers, trays, brushes, paint… All set out and ready to go.

"...the grounds at George Mark are brighter than usual.

Our corporate partners did a good job with all their painting tasks thanks to Vincent and John who were there to prep and help our volunteers all throughout the activities.

Thank you for providing us with much needed supplies and whatnot. MB Jessee’s assistance that day was so invaluable for this project!"

"George Mark’s grounds look spectacular! A huge thank you to everyone for helping to make the return of our Corporate Volunteer Work Day such a wonderful success, and for filling our cup with your collective energy and enthusiastic support of our mission.

A special shout out also to our friends at MB Jessee Painting, Serpico Landscaping, Starbucks, Alameda County Fire Department, and San Leandro Police Department for your incredible support year in and year out."

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

“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

“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.”

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 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.”

— Suzan D’Arcy

“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”

“M.B. Jessee painted the exterior of my Spanish house over 9 years ago, and they did such an incredible job that they are still getting referrals from me today. The paint is holding up perfectly -- there is absolutely no peeling chipping or any other deterioration. I still remember that my final walk-through list consisted of items written on one side of a 3x5 index card (and I'm REAL picky about my house!) However, when Matt and I did that walk-through over HALF the items were no longer an issue, as his team had noticed them first and they had already been resolved.”

— JoAnn Newcomb

“Just wanted to let you know that the crew was great to have around the house for the past two weeks. All three of them were professional, courteous, and attentive to my thoughts/concerns and were extremely knowledgeable. They paid great attention to the detail and it shows.”

— Mark & Roberta Gross

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

— Paul Markovich

“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.”
