What Can I Expect When I Hire a Professional House Painter?

Every fine restaurant has individual characteristics that set it apart from others; nevertheless, there is a standard of service that you can expect to be consistent from one excellent restaurant to another. A similar concept is true of house painters. While each company varies slightly in its procedures and emphases, any excellent house painting contractor will provide you with certain standards of quality.

Reliable Communication

If you have ever tried to work with an uncommunicative contractor, you know the frustration that ensues. However, a true professional emphasizes communication. This means they ask you the right questions to understand your expectations, and they communicate this to everyone who is involved in your project.

Additionally, a great painting company will tell you clearly what days they will be coming, and what times they will be arriving and leaving, so you know what to expect and what arrangements to make.

Excellent Care for Your Home

There are various ways a thoughtful house painter will go above and beyond to protect your home. For example, they may wear disposable shoe coverings or lay down clean drop cloths in the areas where they walk, keeping your floors clean and protected.

Another aspect of caring for your home is keeping a tidy work environment. While a paint job will require some tools and equipment to be spread out, it will be kept safe and orderly. At the end of each day, the site will be cleaned up to avoid inconvenience to you.

One way you can help your painter is if there is a small area where some tools and equipment can be tidily stored in the home overnight. That reduces the cleanup and setup time each day, allowing your painters to be more efficient in his or her work. However, if you would prefer not to have anything left in the home during non-work hours, a professional painter respects that.

Responsiveness to Your Concerns

As your project progresses, if you have questions about safety or concerns about how the project is turning out, an excellent house painter is always ready to address them with you thoroughly. There is flexibility for changes in the plan, and a willingness to go back to parts of the project that don’t meet your desires

Even after a house painting project is complete, a reputable painting company stands behind their work with a warranty, giving you peace of mind regarding your painting investment.

Customer Reviews

“Charles finished yesterday and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed meeting Charles and having him in our home. He is a great guy in addition to his attention to detail in his work, the protection of our floors, walls and furnishings, and his overall interaction with us both. I would be pleased to recommend him to any of my clients.”

“Edy and crew are hard at work. They are doing a great job. Very professional outfit you have. Your crew is a delight. You may use me for a reference!”

“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

“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

“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

“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.”

“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.”

— Nancy Kurkjian

“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

“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.”

— Erin T.

“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.

“The people at M.B. Jessee are great – from the painters to the office staff to Matt. Talk about leadership from the top.”
