What Is “Project Color,” and Why Are We So Excited About It?

There’s no question that we’re committed to helping our clients. Service is what we’re passionate about, why we are always working to improve and grow, and why we’ve attracted such a fantastic team of professionals (enthusiasm is contagious!).

We also, however, are committed to our community.

In fact, beyond commitment, we believe it’s a local business’ responsibility and privilege to invest back into the surrounding area.

So, what is Project Color and why are we excited about it? It’s an opportunity, an event, a reminder of the strength of community, and, to be honest, it’s also one of the highlights of our year.

Our 11th Annual Project Color Event Is Coming Soon!

Each year we ask our friends and neighbors to tell us about a person, family, or nonprofit organization in need. One of the nominees will then be selected to receive $10,000 of free painting services.

Our goal is to learn about and find someone (or an organization) that is struggling, and come alongside them by offering our expertise and filling a tangible need. Not only does this provide encouragement in the form of lifting a financial burden, but it’s also a reminder that they aren’t alone.

And, how can fresh, beautiful paint be anything other than encouraging?

To get an even better sense of what Project Color is all about, you can follow the links below to see photos and details captured during our last two events.

2014 - Raphael House of San Francisco

2015 - Oakland Elizabeth House

What’s Next?

The MB Jessee Painting team is already working and planning; we're thrilled to begin laying the groundwork for all that’s involved.

Would you be willing to help us?

We’ll handle the details and the painting, but we do need your nominations. Start thinking now of who you might suggest, and why. As soon as we’re ready to accept nominations we’ll announce it on Facebook and offer the next steps.

Let’s get ready for the best Project Color event yet! Thank you in advance for your help, and for spreading the word. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us at MB Jessee Painting.

Customer Reviews

“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

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

— Kevin Ames, Mark Becker Homes

“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.

“Matt, We are very happy with how all of the painting worked out. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the work in the bathroom. I liked working with Victor, he and Marvin were extremely conscientious about doing a great job, not just the minimum. I know the front door took a lot longer than you'd expected. But they did it PERFECTLY. We never thought it could turn out like that! Thanks again for the great work. We'll be calling you again in the future!”

“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 walkthrough 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.”

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

— Paul Markovich

“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”

“I had my wooden kitchen cabinets painted white. Anabal and Danielle were doing the job. I have nothing but praise for them. They came on time, cleaned up every day, were respective, friendly and helpful. If the rest of Jessee's crew are as great as Anabal and Danielle, this company will go far.”

— Anni S.

“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.”

“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

“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!”

— Heidi B

“Hello Matt,Just another notice of thanks to your wonderful crew, Rigoberto, Javier and John. They did fantastic work, with Rigo providing meticulous and conscientious attention to the details and excellent woodwork finishing, as evidenced by the beautiful fireplace. Javier did a fantastic job in the bathroom especially, it looks "brand new," and John always does quality work, both with the interior and exterior. I can tell they care about what they do. Rigo's "punch out" was very thorough, too. I will call again when I need some more work and will definitely recommend your company and fine crew. I also felt as a homeowner, I could leave my house in their good hands during the day and that took a lot of worry from me, they were honest, prompt and reliable. They were also very kind, respectful and clean in their work, very professional. Thank you.”
