I was very pleased with the service I received from Beth and her crew. They showed up promptly and did a very professional job. I got several estimates before I settled on Gemarius and I was very glad that I chose them. I plan on using them again to paint several more rooms in my house.

"[member name removed], Had we been made aware of your issues we'd of happily corrected any problems. I researched back over four years and cannot find a contract with a [member name removed] but that certainly doesn't mean there wasn't one. I found nothing with your address or name the dates you say we did the work. Could there have been a mistake made? Could you email the proposal so I can do some research and a note as to when the work was performed or the address we worked on it at? My email is: [email protected] I'd still be happy to fix the problems if you wish to contact me. Beth Swartz (owner), mobile phone: (916) 502-1875. I'm sorry you had to leave this negative review, we are proud of our work and this seems unlike us. Thank you, Beth Swartz"

They did a very good job and if I could rate them higher than an "A" I would. Beth is the person who did the work and she is the owner, I was extremely impressed.

Beth was terrific! She made suggestions about using another shade of the color in one of the rooms. She was prompt, finished ahead of schedule and was totally professional. I will hire here again and recommend her without reservation.

"Member, I'm sorry I was late to our appointment, it was unavoidable due to the terrible traffic accident on the freeway. I left my job in plenty of time to arrive promptly. I called you while I was stuck in traffic 20 minutes before our appointment. I informed you I would be late, I didn't know at the time what was causing the delay or when it would clear up. I suggested we could reschedule for another time if you wished. You declined. It took another 40 minutes to inch my way to Loomis. You showed me around and pointed out your wishes and your problem areas. I took detailed notes and explained I needed to research your specialty coating that was previously applied on your exterior walls. I was concerned why it had become excessively chalky and soft, cracking in many places due to a moisture problem. I simply needed more information and it took several days to track down a stucco person I know to see if they could help with info. You were emailed the proposal on June 16th, four days after our appointment on June 10th, I don't believe we had an appointment on the 2nd of June. I don't know why you didn't get it? Due to the attachment maybe it went to your spam folder. It was sent and I spent a good bit of time doing research just to prepare it. You still haven't told me if it went through successfully last week. I left June 20 for a three week vacation, you should have gotten my message and email telling you all this. I did call you again, to ask for the name of your builder or his subs that did your stucco, I seem to remember you never returned the call. I assumed you didn't like my price and I don't push people to hire me. Sorry it didn't work out. Regards, Beth Swartz Owner / Contractor Gemarius Painting"

THE PAINTING CREW ALWAYS ARRIVED ON TIME AND CLEANED UP BEFORE LEAVING IN THE EVENING. THE CREW WORKED QUIETLY SO AS NOT TO DISTURB THE NEIGHBORS OR THE OWNER WHO HAS A HOME OFFICE. DURING THE WORK, AN EXISTING EXTERIOR FAUCET WAS DAMAGED. GEMARIUS GOT A PLUMBER WHO REPAIRED IT IMMEDIATELY AND SPLIT THE COST OF THE REPAIR WITH US. WE DECIDED DURING THE JOB THAT THE COLOR WE SELECTED WAS TOO DARK. WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM TO SELECT A NEW COLOR WITHOUT PROBLEM, AND THEY CONTINUED THE WORK AND COMPLETED IT ON SCHEDULE.

Superb! Beth was prompt to the minute on the first appointment, Eric showed up at exactly 7:30AM and finished on time, despite the fact that I had identified a wrong shade of paint, and he had to go get the correct shade. Beth made the final inspection, had Eric do one more thing (that I hadn't identified to him, but had identified to Beth), and we paid by check. I couldn't recommend Genarius Painting any more strongly than I am. They're great!

Excellent job. Our house had not been painted for 25 years (we bought it 2 years ago). The prep alone was an enormous amount of work. Erik and Mark scraped, sanded, patched and caulked every window, crack, and hole. They took great care of our 80 year old sash windows and did not get any paint on our new roof. The house was sprayed twice and back-rolled. Erik and Mark were on time everyday, polite, clean, and quiet- and they were careful not to let the dog out! Beth is great. She has an eye for detail and great ideas about colors. She helped me decide where certain colors would look best and convinced me not to replace my old oak door (instead it was sanded and varnished-looks great!). When the crew was finished, Beth asked me to inspect the house with her and insisted I point out anything I did not like. Though there was not much, it was great not to feel like I was being nitpicky. When she left she told me to call her anytime if touch ups were needed.
