Job went very well. Started the job on time and workers were there everyday until job was done . Good quality work and they cleaned up after the job was done every day.

These guys did an OK job.  The price was not the highest of the bids we received, nor was it the lowest.  The quality of work seems better-than-average to me.  They did a great job of showing up on time.  Their responsiveness is great when you figure out the right person to talk to; however, if you try to get in touch with an incorrect person, they're a black hole.  When you find the right person, though, you're golden.

When it comes time to get the popcorn removed from the ceilings of our house, we'll call them.  They do get the job done, and they get it done in a timely manner.

I got estimates from three companies before choosing SD Abatement Services.  This company had the best price by far.  And they charged me EXACTLY what they originally estimated and did everything they promised to.  I'm thrilled with the quality of work--my ceilings look amazing and no more dirty popcorn to contend with.  They cleaned up after themselves and everyone I spoke with was professional and courteous. 

My only criticism, and it's a small one, is that I would like to see them get better with communication. When a homeowner is forced to be out of his/her house (for safety) due to work being performed by strangers, it's vitally important for the homeowner to feel secure in the knowledge that they are placing their home in good hands.  The best way to do this, in my opinion, is to make sure the contractor calls with a report every single day.  A short, nightly call would have gone a long way toward making me feel less anxious during this stressful time.  And it would have raised my responsiveness/professionalism ratings to perfect A's, because I was otherwise very pleased with this company.  A small thing, easily remedied.  Definitely not a deal breaker.  I'd do business with them again in a heartbeat.

It went fine. They were on schedule, the price was reasonable, and when they finish the job they cleaned up after themselves.

I felt as though I made a big mistake in hiring this company.  They had a competitive price, but the job took much longer than expected.  Wokers were absent at times, the supervisors weren't always present, and the quality of the work was poor.  We even sought a second and a third opinion who both confirmed that many mistakes had been made during the project. 

The owner, himself, inspected the work and claimed that everything had been done perfectly.  He further stated that we should contact the Better Business Bureau if we had any problems with the work, but we didn't want to involve any third parties in the dispute.  Ultimately, the owner offered a discount of $450 to resolve the issue.
Response from San Diego Painting
"We are the recipients of the 2011 "Super Service Award" from Angie's List. We perform, on average, 3-4 acoustic removal jobs per week and have been in business for 30 years. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that after performing 1,000's of removal/re-texture jobs with 1,000's of happy customers and excellent reviews, there will be the occasional less-than-happy customer. Though, in this case, it was not for a lack of effort on our part. First, it took an extra 1/2 day to complete the texture on this job due to high ceilings (at no additional charge) We worked through every day until completion (no absent workers). When the texture took longer than planned and still had to dry for a day, we didn't have a crew to send on Friday, so we called in guys to work over-time painting (again, at no additional charge) on Saturday. There was ALWAYS a supervisor on-site, though the customer may not have realized that one does not need to be the project manager or owner to be a supervisor. The following Monday morning we sent a guy for a full day and a half to perform miscellaneous touch-up per the owner's specification and installing new light fixtures, all in an effort to go above-and-beyond what is considered normal expectation for such a project. We repeatedly urged this owner to contact the BBB in order to bring a neutral, third-party mediator to resolve the matter. She refused and instead brought in two different contractors looking for work, to give their (very biased) opinions. It is very disappointing to find a review like this on a public website after putting in the effort to resolve this matter to our mutual satisfaction. We even went so far as to give a substantial discount. It is our hope that after factoring in "two sides to every story" and a "grain of salt" along with a large majority of positive reviews, you will not hesitate to contact us for a bid on your upcoming projects."

They were great. They were clean. Everything that you need to do they were good. They were on time, showed up, did all the work and they were polite. I would use them in the future.

They did a good, quality job. We were very satisfied with the work they completed. We had people commenting on how good the house looked when it was completed. The workers showed up at 7AM every morning and worked diligently on the job. They didn't clean as well as I would have like them to do, but it wasn?t terrible. They had an excellent crew, but we had trouble with the supervisor not being present at the job site. We heard there was action taken towards this supervisor, but we cannot confirm it. We probably will not use this company in the future.

I was very happy with the job, but it was prolonged a little more than they had expected. They had mixed up the paint and tried to charge me for the paint they had spoiled but didn't. They didn't pay much attention to my things, like being careful not to get them dirty, but the end result was very good.

They were friendly, responsive and did BEAUTIFUL work. It's like having a new house. I really appreciated the customer service. They have people in their office all day Mon-Fri so I didn't have to talk to an answering machine. If I had questions or when I wanted to add to the job, I had a real person to talk to who responded right away. I would highly recommend San Diego Painting to anyone!

SAN DIEGO PAINT SENT THEIR PAINTER TO THE JOB AND HE HAD TO MATCH THE PAINT AND THEN BLEND IN THE REPAIRS. THE JOB WAS DONE SO THAT YOU COULD NOT TELL IT HAD BEEN DAMAGED. WILL DEFINITELY CALL ON NEXT PAINT JOB.
