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.

"Best Painter I have ever hired. I contacted Walt in early July. After meeting him, I had a good feeling about him. But I didn't want the job to be done until I was on break from work in October. He was no pressure, when ever I wanted it. Explained that I wanted to brighten up the room, the color I had was dark. He made some good suggestions that I went with. I was not disappointed. Great Customer service. Took pride in prepping the walls and baseboard. He was a clean painter very organized with a plan. He knew I would need a second coat on the walls, and he was 100% right. The work was done in 2 days. With his experience he made it look simple. I have several more paint jobs, and I will be hiring Walt. Thank you Walt."

"Scott was excellent with his oabservations and reccomendations! He was very professionsal in his approach to the repairs. He explained everything thoroughy and the options and potential outcomes depending on the repair solution chosen. Scott went above and beyond by doing a few things extra to make the outcome of my projet perfect and to help me appreciate the end results. I had a newly remodeled bathroom which the original contractor and his crew were not skilled at their craft even though they cam highly recommended by someone who had just used them. Scott had to repair and repaint the entire bathroom and try to camoflage the bad texture and paint job that was done. And on the other side of the shower wall in the bedroom there were 12 nails which popped out of the wall due to the banging the crew did when remodeling my bathroom. Scott repaired and repainted the bedroom wall and it looks amazing! I am so HAPPY! Thank you Scott! "

"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.

"Juan and his team effortlessly knocked out our West Alameda veterans exterior painting job! From start to finish, Juan communicated his detailed plan and process. He professionally delivered on every request with high marks at a surprisingly affordable price! Our Navy veteran homeowner exclaimed, Great job! I am impressed with the high quality of protection GM Painting has given to my 1938 vintage home. It is restored to its fresh, clean, white with green trim original charm! The teams care and meticulous attention to detail have refreshed the home and given it a new lease on life. We appreciate their high respect for our veteran and his privacy. It was not long before it was finished and looks a whole, a lot better!"

"Flex Painting went above and beyond on our rental home’s exterior painting project. They initially provided a fair and reasonable estimate, but as the project progressed, they identified dry rot, a broken window and sash, rotting stairs, and other structural issues. Instead of just painting over the problems, they handled the necessary repairs, replaced gutters, and even added gutter screens and downspouts—all while maintaining fluid communication with regular updates and photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work were outstanding. We truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend Flex Painting for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, but professional services ensure secure installation, accurate leveling, and protection against wall damage, especially for heavy or valuable items.

While flat and satin finishes are ideal for garage or front doors, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That’s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren’t off limits, but you’ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. 

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.

The time it takes to prep and paint a room depends wholly on the project's details. You can expect to spend at least two days on the job, including one for prepping and priming and one for applying two coats of paint. If the room is complex with many features to work around, expect to spend an additional day.

How long your paint job lasts depends on the quality of the work and the type of paint used. If you clean the siding first, apply a primer if needed, and choose the right type of paint, the finish can last five to 10 years.
