The foundation of A+ painting is built on doing the job right, and doing it right only. Family owned and operated business since the early 90's and branch out in 2005. Our core goals in every job is to examine the condition of the surfaces, make recommendations, and to resolve any issues with the job. Then, the next step is the right prep work, applying primers, then finishes. We use products from professional companies like Sherwin Williams, Kelly Moore, etc. The range of the products could be from contractor grades to premiums. But we highly recommend premium products to have long lasting results. We offer free on sight visit and color consultation. We do have reviews on other websites, and they could be viewed upon request. Again, our main goal is a happy, -long term client. And we intend to provide that to you. In Santa Clara County call 408-391-1009. In San Mateo County call 650-906-7072.

"We had a horrible experience with this company. Patrick, the owner, was extremely difficult to work with and wasvery rude and dismissive. When he first initially came to bid this job, he only looked at our downstairs. He gave us a bid on the whole house based on his quick walk-through we accepted this bid at the time. He then came back and said that he had underbid the job, because he didn?t go upstairs and would need to add more money to our bill. His men made several mistakes. They they painted one of our doors only halfway and it needed to be repaired, they left a giant mess both upstairs and downstairs, and they decided to leave their entire painting kit and tools in the middle of our living room overnight. When Patrick came to see the mistakes that they made, he basically insinuated that we were not telling the truth, and was extremely rude and dismissive.However, he must?ve known that his men and he made several mistakes as he fagreed to keep the price at the original contract.

Two Men and a Brush Painting is a small, owner-operated business providing painting and related services across the South Bay and surrounding locales. Established in 1983, we take pride in the fact that 100% of our business comes from satisfied customer referrals and repeat customers--the strongest validations possible. We are also top-rated on YELP.

"Scott painted all the interior walls in our new house, he patched and painted the garage and made it so much nicer, he painted our kitchen cabinets, which turned out beautiful and saved us so much money compared to refacing, and he also painted a tricky accent wall covered with reclaimed wood after patching it, and that changed from a weird problem to an elegant feature of the house. All these projects were expertly done on time while I was away, and his estimates for each were accurate and lower than those of his competitors. When I have other projects I will go straight to him."

I'm Fernando Palma with Palma's Painting. After I graduated in 2013, I received a call from my former boss to officially start working in his company, I have worked in Painting ever since , doing and focusing in Exterior and Interior Painting . We have done many residential and commercial homes . Although Painting may sound simple enough, there are many steps and ways in getting things applied the right way , for example ; Any trim with Oil paint used in the past, must be sanded and de-glossed before applying Paint again, otherwise paint will just peel and scratch off easily . It's important that while getting ready to paint, you have done all the necessary steps to make sure you get a solid finish . Feel free to give us a call or text with no commitment . -Fernando Palma

"Fernando was so polite and professional when he came to first look at the house. The job was exterior painting, so we walked around the house and chatted while he took notes on the condition. Later that day he emailed the quote - no pressure at all. The other companies that came tried to get me to commit and give them a downpayment on the spot, even though I had told them ahead of time that I would have to review them all first. The main workers were Nacho and Gabriel, and there were a couple more on some days. Nacho was the main one I worked with, and he was very polite and friendly just like Fernando. They did a ton of prep work, including re-caulking, fixing bad wood, sealing minor cracks in the stucco, etc. They painted the entire exterior including our front door and two side doors, and everything was excellent. Our next-door and across-the-street neighbors watched the work and both asked Fernando to give them quotes! I was very pleased and satisfied."

"I donâ t often write reviews but was warranted in this instance. We have 3 rental properties and have dealt with a ton of contractors over the years, many have been inconsistent with communication, adhering to agreed upon time frames, and quality of work. Jonathan and his team are top notch. Got back soon after request, arrived on time, job was done quickly, efficiently, and with attention to detail. Very happy with quality of work. Would definitely recommend."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Although most contractors, like painters, earn an hourly rate and do not expect tips, you can still tip if you’re satisfied with the job and feel that the painters went above and beyond. Tipping about $20 to $50 per worker can go a long way in showing your appreciation for a job well done. However, check with the contractor beforehand to confirm the policy on tipping, as some companies do not allow employees to accept tips.

While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it’s a specifically designed product for this purpose—not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren’t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.

Paint your accent wall last after painting the other walls in the room. This will prevent color bleed and splatter from the adjacent walls. Be sure to give your other walls plenty of time to fully dry and cure before painting your accent wall—you don’t want the tape to pull off fresh paint when you remove it.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage.
