We Have a Winner! MOCHA Is Our 11th Project Color Painting for Charity Recipient

As you know if you follow our Facebook page or have joined our email list, our 11th Annual Project Color Painting for Charity recipient has been chosen.

In case you’re just coming across this article now and are a little light on the back story, be sure to check out this explanation of what Project Color is and why it means so much to us.

The short version is that we choose a nonprofit each year to receive up to $10,000 of free painting services; it’s our way of giving back and encouraging those who do so much and often receive little help and recognition. As a local Oakland painting company, we also truly believe it is our responsibility to build into and invest in our community.

Thank You for Your Votes!

We shared our final three recipients with you (the general public), and the votes came flooding in. It was a hugely successful process, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your involvement and interest. Posts on Facebook were shared, encouragement was sent, and your voices were all heard.

MOCHA was the clear winner, and we are thrilled to serve them in this way.

What Is MOCHA?

The MOCHA acronym stands for Museum of Children’s Arts, and the organization itself stands for kids and community. Specifically, they believe in the cathartic power of artistic expression, and that making opportunities for kids to experience art will help to heal and prevent social ills. This is a tangible way to bring kids and families together.

MOCHA has impacted over one million children since their launch 27 years ago, holding hands-on arts programs in local schools, libraries, and in their own studios. It is an incredible organization, and one that we extremely proud and excited to help.

What’s Next for This Oakland Painting Project?

We’re in the planning and scheduling stages now, as we want to optimize our impact for MOCHA just as powerfully as possible. Stay tuned for details! And, if you don’t follow us on Facebook, now would certainly be a good time to start.

There are exciting times ahead!

Customer Reviews

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

“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.”

“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

“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

“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.”

“The completed 'Client Satisfaction Survey' we sent in only modestly reflects our total satisfaction with the work. As a retired small business owner, I compliment you on setting 'best practices' that are consistently followed. Everything described in your marketing materials was a reality! The crew is a super bowl team and our neighbors commented on how quiet they were. We are very happy to be a client of MB Jessee.”
