"Great! George is very detail oriented and a perfectionist. He used high quality paint. Cleaned up any mess every day. Very fair price."

"Julio and his team have done a wonderful job for our exterior painting and deck painting. He is very workable and approachable. I am very pleased about their work and will definitely hire them again for the interior painting."

"They were timely, professional, and was an amazing value for the price. We are so appreciative of the work Rolando and his team did."

"Needed my deck sealed after a year of curing. Quote was high, but I decided it was worth it. Lots of positive reviews. Had some water marks from pots on the deck. After the first brightening there were still watermarks. I sent Bruce pictures and asked that the guys coming to seal make sure the watermarks were taken care of. He told me to point out the spots and they would take care of it. When the sealers came, I pointed out the marks and asked that they make sure they were taken care of before the sealing. They told me that the water marks were the result of leaving pots on the deck...duh. Obviously this is what happened, but was why I was paying Cal Preserving to take care of it. I don't appreciate having to convince my contractors I want something done the right way. I ended up calling Bruce and explaining that I felt like this was being done in a rush, but he assured me his team was professional and that it would get done properly. Placated, I decided to trust it would be OK, despite the static. That was my first mistake. After they were done sealing they asked for the check (before it had a chance to dry and for me to inspect the work). I told Bruce I didn't feel comfortable with this (over the phone), but he reassured me that they weren't that kind of company and any mistakes or issues would be taken care of. I gave the sealers the check. Mistake number 2. The next day I inspected the work to find huge sections of the hand rail completely unsealed and with power-washer damage. Also the water marks were still there and now sealed in. I took pictures and sent them to Bruce. He came out and we discussed the issues. He was nice and told me not to worry and that his guys would take care of it. Another iteration and the handrail was fixed, but the watermarks are still there. At this point I feel like I didn't get the full value of what I paid, and the hassle I went through to get to where I am now, which is barely passable should be avoided by others so I am writing this review. I don't mind paying premium prices, but when I do, I expect premium work. And if I find something wrong with the work, I expect it to be fixed without contention. The fact is I feel like the job was rushed, and I was pressured into paying early. I am a relatively new homeowner and this whole experience has just been a lesson learned. If the watermarks were taken care of, and the rail done right the first time, and nobody gave me static, I would be rating Cal Preserving with five stars. Take warning!"

"Wish they had given me more time to choose colors. I felt pressured to decide. (Reasonable I guess as the painters were ready to go but their was still quite a bit more prep work to do).. The workers were pleasant and accommodating. There was a lot of pick up of tape, etc. that I had to do (small pieces of stuff) but overall they cleaned up well. I felt they charged me a fair amount and that was nice. The owner did a walk through but a bit before they finished. I went out today and found paint dripped on several place on my cement walks. Also I was disappointed that they did not put things back they had to move. Some are way too heavy for me to move myself. Also noticed when I opened some of the doors that they missed some of the edges. They had to scrape and sand some things a lot and made things look almost brand new. It was amazing."

"Luis Gonzalez and his crew have done a very thorough and professional job painting wooden trim on our house and, above all, repairing lots of dry rot on the house, the garage, and the roof of the garage. Luis is very nice and so are the men who work with him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good, conscientious painter for outside or interiors. Peggy Kagel Fairfax, CA"

"Henruy provided us with an estimate very quickly. Was able to complete the job of staining two fences and gate in two days which included power washing and bleaching the wood. Fences and gate look like new"

"These workers show much pride in their work. Their prices are very reasonable. If you find any problems along the way, just tell one of the workers and they will fix it. If there are any concerns, call the office and the two secretaries Emily and Sasha, are most helpful and efficient at solving the problem."

"Gruber Painting did a great job painting some of the exterior parts of our home that get a lot of sun exposure and were looking pretty shabby. We felt their price was reasonable. The crew was friendly and got the job done on time. The only thing I can negatively say about the crew is the cleanup could have been better. We found tape left on the ground in several places and lots of the chipped paint all around the exterior of our home."

"I plan hire Penagos Painting again to paint my bedroom."
