Restaurant Painting in the San Francisco Area

Restaurant Painting in the San Francisco Area

What makes a restaurant great? Of course, the first thing we all think of is great food, which is true! But a good restaurant also needs a lot of other things – including a good paint job. Although most people may never think about it, a lot goes into painting a restaurant. There needs to be terrific color choices, knowledge of what products will hold up under constant commercial use, the skill to apply those products, and the ability to do all of that in a smooth and timely way.

Choosing Delicious Colors for Restaurant Painting

The most conspicuous aspect of restaurant painting is the colors you choose. There are many factors that can play into this decision. Sometimes there is a focus on branding and using company colors throughout the restaurant. The mood or ambiance that an establishment is looking to create will be largely shaped by paint colors. Whether you are looking for an off-beat vibe, crisp modern-professional, classic old world, earthy organic, or something else altogether, there are colors and hues that can take you there.

Another consideration is the psychology of colors, and what the experts tell us about how colors can influence our moods and our appetites. Color experts suggest that the best choice for food venues are colors that we associate with foods. For instance, red is a common food color, evoking thoughts of delicious tomato sauces and tender steaks. Green can suggest a fresh garden salad or crisp apples. Various browns and yellows of course are also common in our cuisine; think delicious dinner rolls or lively pineapple. The primary color that is left out of this party is blue. Though beautiful, blue may suppress appetite, and is not commonly used in restaurant settings.

Restaurant Painting Requires Knowledge of the Best Products Available

The colors that your customers will see are important, but there is a lot more to high-quality restaurant painting. A good commercial painting contractor will know what products are available, and which ones will best serve the needs of restaurant owners and staff. They can help make good decisions about products that will look beautiful and will stand up under use, whether they are in highly-visible areas or in areas that will need rigorous cleaning, such as the kitchen where food preparation happens.

As well as having a knowledge of products that are available, it is also important for a painting contractor to have well-trained employees who will apply those products with skill. High-quality workmanship will provide pleasing results that last.

Customer Reviews

“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.”

“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”

“In September, MBJessee finished painting two sides of our 3-story condominium building (six owners). We were impressed by the professionalism of the company and every one of its workers, Matt Jessee couldn't have been more helpful in planning the project. His painters were well-trained, easy to communicate with and eager to please. In addition to painting the stucco, they made extensive repairs on windows and frames, which will save us considerable money in the future. They finished earlier than anticipated, with as many as five men working on the job, and the scaffolding came down the next day. All of us were delighted with the results. Now my husband and I are looking forward to having MB Jessee paint our own apartment later this month. Matt and Gustavo (who will be our crew leader again) have explained how they will work to make the painting proceed smoothly while we're living here, and they have been endlessly patient with our protracted decision-making process. If you look at their website, you'll learn that MB Jessee is an exemplary company that takes good care of its workers as well as its customers, and contributes public service projects to the community. All in all, we can't recommend MB Jessee highly enough.”

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

“In all the years I've worked with MB Jessee, I'm always so impressed by your crews. They are so respectful of everything--you never even know they're there! Except that the paint looks amazing when they're gone. We've had one showing of our home and already have an offer. I'm sure it is because the paint looks so beautiful.”

“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

“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

“Everyone I dealt with was nice, helpful, and very professional. The price was reasonable! (I didn't feel like I was getting the "San Francisco price." The attention to detail and work quality was excellent. They did what they said they would do in the exact timeframe they said they would do. Highly recommend!”

— Tim Tyson

“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.”

— Carla Banks

“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

“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”
