The quality of their painting was so terrible that we terminated with them after about a week.
The team did not perform the necessary prep work of filling in nail holes and patching before they over sprayed everything. I expected the house to be rolled and brush painted, not sprayed like a commercial job. But even the spraying was of such bad quality because they did not take the time to prep beforehand, sand in between coats, wait for the paint to dry sufficiently before a second coat, etc.
They sprayed my window with them closed so many of them are painted shut and the paint cracks when you force the windows open. Even more disastrous, when you open the windows, all of them show about an inch of unpainted area because they painted them with them shut. There are tons of paint drip marks as well from their over spraying.
In terms of ceilings and walls, there are tons of air holes, divots, and excess paint spots. The quality of their work is terrible, terrible, terrible.
To make matters even worse, Ken, the owner, asked us to pay 80% of the total bill when they had only done about 20% of the work! I'm afraid we will need to resolve this one in court.
We took about 200 pictures documenting all the problems with their painting work. Please feel free to contact me if you are considering this service provider and I would be happy to share them.

From the planning stages, to the quote, to the execution and the clean up, this crew "had it down". Dennis was a good listener, understood my needs and concerns and addressed each of them. I knew and understood the size and scope and price before they ever picked up a paint brush. Dennis was patient and made sure all my questions were answered and that I understood the ramifications of the project so there were no surprises at the end. I appreciated the time and energy he put in to the planning stages. The execution of the job went very smoothly. Even though the days were extremely hot, the crew never complained or faltered. They worked hard and long hours. I was very impressed with their prep work. They didn't just paint over questionable areas. They took the proper time to first clean the house thoroughly, and then made sure all cracks, holes, dry rot, etc were repaired before even starting to paint. Their expertise was evident in both their wood and stucco repairs. The crew, led by a very capable lead, Wilberto, were skilled and very neat painters. No unwanted drippings, everything got masked and lines were sharp. They moved personal items out of the way and put all back when they were through. They worked as a team and all worked hard! They were very punctual and very polite. The cost was what Dennis and I had discussed. No surprises. The whole project went extremely smoothly and within the budget we discussed and within the time frame we discussed. Even with Dennis away for part of the project, his crew worked just as hard or harder while he was away. Apollo is not the cheapest price, but they are very competitive and you get excellent results. You definitely get what you pay for. I would highly recommend Apollo Painting and Construction to anyone who wants a well done professional job with no hassles or back tracking, or delays. This was a huge project for me to undertake, and I am so glad that Dennis Yeager and his crew were there to get the job done for me. Of course I will be happy to hire them again for any of my painting needs."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/santa-barbara/apollo-painting-and-construction-reviews-319260.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Brannick and Associates Painting Services","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Beth P."},"reviewBody":"Five months after the work, the house still looks good, although the paint on the ironwork has gaps and developing rust spots. At the estimate phase, Patrick (and our competing bids) identified some dryrot and said they may find a bit more as they started prepping. Patrick's crew did identify more damage and promised to get an assessment, but the crew kept painting over that whole section of the house before waiting for the carpentry assessment. The carpenters found a large amount of rot and water damage, and ended up ripping off half of the back of our house and replacing all of the siding on an addition that had been built poorly. This meant the paint crew had to reprep and repaint the repaired siding. Old houses are full of surprises and miscommunication happens, but because Patrick and the crew chief did not communicate well on this with each other nor with us, we ended up paying for extra hours and materials for repainting the repaired area. IMHO, they should not have painted over the questionable areas so quickly. This situation cost us nearly an additional $1000 (Patrick says he absorbed a part of the labor). Separate from that, we continued to find paint chips around the yard, despite paying the required premium for lead abatement measures, for several months. Our laundry sink, yard and deck also suffered many paint splatters that were left without cleanup.

She was very nice and professional, but Andrew and Steve were the ones who did the painting for this particular job. They were great! The job took longer than estimated because there were gaps between each panel of knotty pine that had to be painted with a brush instead of a roller. Despite having to spend more time and energy on this project, Andrew and Steve were very polite, friendly, and patient. They were still getting paid the same amount, but they continued to have a positive attitude and never made me feel like an inconvenience. Andrew and Steve were also very trustworthy. I had to go to work during several of the days that they were painting my basement. I was initially concerned with leaving strangers in my house, while I was away (No offense, Andrew and Steve). But, everything went well and nothing went missing. In the end, the basement looked fantastic, and I was very happy with their work. 2) For the second time, I required someone to do a small paint job for me, but I needed it done that week.

Brush Chipping reviews from real Angi homeowners in Santa Barbara, CA
There were three parts of the job. We were not satisfied with the quality of work on any of them. The cast concrete front steps were particularly unsatisfactory to us, as they are tilted, rough (causing paint to chip), irregular (due to up to an inch of concrete accumulation on edges), and...

FAQs for brush chipping projects in Santa Barbara, CA
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
