Stephen James Painting

Stephen James' crew did a great job. They were always on time and the job was finished when expected. They cleaned everything up when they were done. Everyone in the crew were courteous and polite. I highly recommend them.

Went off exactly as agreed for a reasonable price. The two Stephens worked with me to get the stain color exactly right. The doors (which were in bad shape from UV exposure) look like new!

Stephen James Painting was absolutely wonderful to work with. The owner responded to my Angie's List inquiry within a half hour, and provided me with an estimate the next day. The owner was available to answer all my questions whenever something came up. The painters were all very professional, polite and courteous as well as a pleasure to have around the house while they got the job done. Work was estimated to be complete in 6-8 days and they delivered and work was completely done in 6.5 days. The detail of the scope of work to be done in the contract was what set them apart from all the others. I would highly recommend them if you are considering painting the exterior of your home. A++ - Thank you Stephen James Painting for a job well done.

Hired them. Start work next month. Will provide better review when work is completed.

The job was promised to take 5 days and was finished in 4. A crew of 5 came and were very efficient as well as cooperative to make the house as livable as possible during the process. They did a beautiful job, including all furniture moving and completely restored everything when they were done. We couldn't have been more pleased.

I can't recommend this business highly enough. Its always intimidating being a single woman and contracting to have work done on your house. I interviewed several painters, and after talking to Stephen, I knew I was in good hands. Everything they were going to do was clearly defined in the proposal, down to every small detail. He gave me a fair bid, and we set a start date. Excellent communication, letting me know exactly when the crew would show up, as well as the expected time frame to complete job. The crew showed up early, and were very polite, neat and organized. They worked very well together, and clearly had a good system to attend to everything being done properly. I have dogs, and they were always very careful to make sure gates were closed. The house looks amazing! There is lots of trim requiring special attention, in different colors, and they did it perfectly. I was also changing the garage door color, and they took a color sample of the new door and matched the necessary trim perfectly. Highly recommend this business!! Oh, and they finished right in the time frame they said they would, and left the property neat and clean.

Stephen was responsive and fair, and all in all did a great job.  There was some residual over-spray (dust) left on blinds and in the garage - where they did some prep work, and there were several areas I would have preferred they point out to me and then fix (old repairs done poorly, dings in the wall).  But I would recommend them without hesitation.

Stephen was fabulous to work with. He returned my call quickly and was flexible with times to meet as we were coming from out of town. He was always easy to reach and a joy to work with.

I was VERY pleased with their work.  The colors came out great.  They were on time and completed the project in slightly less than a week.  Everyone was very courteous and eager to please.  The work site was cleaned up each day before they left.  I would definitely use them again.

On time arrival, finished early, perfect job.

We cannot say enough good things about this company and their people. The folks are all happy, polite and looking for ways to please you. Stephan is extraordinarily responsive. The most responsive of the 15 or more sub contractors we have had to deal with on the new house. If something is not done to your liking, just mention it in passing and they are there to do whatever they need to to make you a happy client. They are the only painter we will ever use and gladly recommend them to our Real Estate clients.

The workers arrived each day at the planned time. All work was performed as promised, and on time.

Perfect! Stephen was prompt with return call, able to schedule job when we wanted; reasonable estimate, courteous, careful workers and great job!

Stephen came out and gave us an estimate on our property, a few days later he sent us a written estimate by e-mail and it was within our budget so we signed the contract.  His crew came on site at the beginning of March and the site manager Mickey was terrific, he checked in and let us know how progress was going and/or when they had questions.  The team came in, took all the plate covers and lights down and (it seemed within just a few hours) they were ready to paint.  The crew was there for about a week and they did an EXCELLENT job!!  One of the things that was nice about SJP is yes, they use a sprayer, but they follow up behind the spray-gun with a brush, so it looks like it was hand painted - just that "extra touch" and attention to detail was what we liked about the job they did.  We also had some window frames that were old, and with the dampness of Los Osos, well the rust just kept coming through the paint.  Mickey took the extra time to keep coming back until it was right, every morning for a week (in all honesty).  Around the 10th, Stephen came out and we did a final walk through.  Unfortunately, when they sprayed the paint they accidentally painted three of our windows shut, but things happen ... and Stephen made sure that they came out and fixed the windows ASAP.  At some point we will be needing to get some interior painting done in our back cottage, and yes - we will be calling SJP to help us.

They did a wonderful job (even returning for touchups), at a great price, and in a very timely manner (less than a week).  We highly recommend Stephen James Painting, and would definitely use them again.

His quote came in at exactly half the price of any other vendor from Angie's list. He used marine grade paint on the sunny side of the house without being asked to do so and without additional charge. Grade A also for professionalism and punctuality. Finished the job in exactly the time line specified, and that time line was the same as other contractors.
Warranty was the same as other vendors.

Painted interior of mobile home.

The crew and the subcontractor who installed the crown molding were professional. All surfaces were sanded, all floors and surfaces were protected. The work was immaculate and the owner personally reviewed the work.

Excellent - very professional!

Excellent.  Stephen has a good eye for color and is able to provide very good counsel on color selection.  His crew is professional, friendly, and efficient.  We are completely satisfied and I would hire them again.

They did a great job!  Everything was as promised.  They were on time, very professional, they kept us informed of how the work was progressing, and they were very careful.  I had just put in a new deck and they made sure that no stray drops of paint got on it.  
They had previously done some interior painting for us and did equally good work with that.  I feel confident  in recommending them.

This was an overall excellent experience for our family,   We will have this company back next year to paint our kitchen cabinets and other areas of our home.  I will give any referrals to neighbors and friends.

We met with Mr. James and presented our color palette for the entire house ? each room being a different color, including ceilings. He walked through each room and offered his professional and, more importantly, his artistic recommendations for improving the overall flow of color. We adopted his recommendations much to our extreme satisfaction. Upon entering our home, each person who saw the house before it was painted, including friends, other workmen and our realtors, have immediately commented on what an exceptional job was done on the painting ? the color choices are very pleasing to the eye and color demarcations are quite precise. The quality of work performed by his team is unparalleled. Before the 5-day painting project began, existing cabinetry, appliances and all flooring were carefully masked and protected from any paint over-spray. On all of the curved ?corners,? a very clean line was ?masked off" down the middle of the curve to show a precise demarcation of color between rooms. The work site was cleaned after each day of painting. When the project was completed, all masking tape and tarps were removed, the floors cleaned and each room inspected for any necessary touch-up. There was no remaining evidence that the painters were there. Mr. James did such an exceptional job on the painting that we later contracted with him to faux paint our dining room. He was given a general idea of the color and texture we were looking for and Mr. James again presented his artistic solution to present a beautiful finish. We then contracted with Mr. James to stain and finish new cabinets built for our office and family room. Once again, Mr. James did a phenomenal job in taking our general ideas of color and finish and translating them into an effective marriage of color between the wood surfaces and the walls. In all of our dealings with Mr. James, he has been extremely professional and reliable. He has demonstrated again and again his artistic capabilities and attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship. We highly recommend Stephen James Painting for any painting or staining project.
