Cubeta Painting LLC

Excellent work was done on a difficult job. The 3 Buildings are large and our property is sloped in many areas requiring varying sizes of equipment. Communication was frequent and kept us up to date on progress. Very professional and meticulous. Highly recommended.

I reached out to Jeff to have two bedrooms & 1 bathroom painted, during our consultation he said he could remove the popcorn ceiling in these rooms and skim coat the ceilings to "look Beautiful". He also said he could paint all the trim on the outside of our house. Total all in price $3,800. Jeff guaranteed us he could start the job withing days and complete the interior in a week. We gave Jeff a deposit for $1,200.00 on June 12, he started scraping the ceilings on June 20 and asked for another deposit that day. Foolishly we gave him an additional $1,300.00 From this point on we had to battle with Jeff via text and calls to get him to show up, his excuses as to why he could not come were endless. On July 4th he showed up and painted all the rooms once, but the ceilings are a disaster and he refused to complete the entire job because he wanted to renegotiate the price. The job has NOT been completed. Jeff is an unprofessional conman. He will bilk you out of as much money as he can while promising you the world.

Could not have asked for a better job very professional. I kept his card and will call him with any further painting needs

I was lucky to choose Cubeta Painting for my home painting projects. Jeff Skim coated and painted my entry and dining room being for an updated look. Cubeta painting also painted my hallway, bathroom wall, ceiling, and trim. Jeff noticed that the trim in my kitchen needed caulking and did that for free . . . that's the kind of guy he is Jeff takes pride in his workmanship and cares about your home. I would recommend and hire Jeff again, Great job!

Loved my service from Cubeta Painting! Working with Jeff and Lonnie was awesome! Jeff explained the process, pricing and paint type very well. I purchased the paint and he and his assistant picked it up and got right to work! They finished a large size basement floor and walls in 1 day! Wow! They were communicative for scheduling and great throughout the day! I love my basement! Thanks guys!

Jeff and his partner came in early morning and a very thorough job with compounding, smoothing and repainting my ceilings. They cleaned up after their work was done I am extremely happy with the work done and would recommend them to anyone

Jett did an excellent job. He and his partner were very knowledgeable, professional and provided excellent customer service. The painted walls look beautiful! We are very happy with the results and would hire Jeff again if we have more painting to be done.

Jeff and his partner dis a great job on the inside walls. Job was done quickly, within 2 days. Would recommend!

On April 26th Jeff from Cubeta Painting showed up with a helper. I gave him a deposit of $500. He left helper here to start job. On the next day I told Jeff I was not happy with the progress. Helper was only here for a few hours then left after patching holes and a crack. Jeff promised it would get better. On the 28th Jeff asked if I would give helper another $500 because helper had bills to pay. I did. $1,000 so far for deposit. After 4 days not one room was complete so I fired Cubeta Painting and requested a refund. Many, Many promises to do so. It's now more than 4 months later and I have not seen a penny. Unfortunately I have since learned that Cubeta Painting has done this before to other elderly. After contacting different agencies, I have also learned that he is not licensed. I have even tried to negotiate with Jeff and I have also agreed to accept partial payment, but still not a penny back. I want my money. I want him to stop ripping off people. Especially the elderly such as myself on a fixed income.

I hired Jeff in the fall of 2019 to paint a few rooms in my house . I found Jeff to be very reliable and his prices were reasonable. I am very happy with the work that he completed which was finished in a timely manner . I would highly recommend Jeff and would not hesitate to hire him in the future .

Very good work, he was always on time and came when he sad he would. We would definitely use him again and recommend to anyone else.

Jeff was neat and clean and got the job done on time. We were very happy with the results.

Jeff transformed the dark interior of my parent’s colonial into an entirely different, bright space. He painted all of the dark stained wood doors and moldings, and tons of window moldings, white or chosen greys. Some huge entire walls were dark, stained wood, and are now lovely light greys. It looks like a different house. The work is very clean and tight. He came in and quickly assessed what we needed, and immediately had ideas and options for us. He’s mellow and easy to deal with. He’s very responsive, and most importantly gets the job done as promised.

I was referred to Cubeta Painting through a friend who highly recommended Jeff, who is the Owner of the company. I was really impressed with how professional and knowledgeable Jeff was when he first gave me a quote. His pricing was super reasonable, and he even did a few odd and end jobs for no extra cost. I was awe struck with the finish results. He truly is the best of the best when it comes to other Painters. I would recommend him to anyone, as I know he would deliver the same results.

I needed my bathroom and dining room painted and was told about Cubeta Painting through a friend. The owner, Jeff, was very nice and knowledgeable. I was extremely happy with the work that was done! My bathroom went from cracked and worn to brand new! My dining room came out great as well! I will definitely be using them again!

August 2019 I hired Jeff Cubeta to fix the cracks in the ceiling and paint. Several weeks later the same cracks appeared in the same place. I made "4" appointments with him to come back and see the problem but everytime he said "something came up with the kids" and never bothered to show up. Jeff had made a ridiculous comment that the ceiling was settling, but how can the SAME cracks be in the SAME place as before. Maybe if he would have shown up for just one appointment, he could see he messed up. I paid Jeff $675 in cash and till today I have not received a bill/receipt or invoice. Jeff is not reliable, honest, trustworthy, and does not take responsibility for his work or his word. I asked for a partial refund since now I have to hire another painter to fix what he screwed up, but he said it was not acceptable. This project was a waste of time and money.

Not well. The painter spent minimal time here. He said he would show up at a certain time, then came late or didn't show up at all. He even left at lunchtime for "a bite to eat" and never came back! I fired him after almost 3 weeks of this nonsense. Subsequent painters said his work was shoddy and would have to repeat the steps that he did.

Contractor asked for $500 up front to purchase materials which I gave him being that he was going thru a divorce & needed a little help. After working less than a day, he called to say he was done & wanted cash immediately. I responded, no payment until I inspected the work. Well, here's where the crazy starts. I walked in the house to only find the agreed oil base paint was latex. When I checked the work it appeared there was little to no prepping. chips were still there just covered in a fresh coat. Many areas were totally missed. In the kitchen where a new slider was installed, the entire trim was skipped over., In the laundry room, nothing was done & this was the 1 room that needed trim/door paint more than the other areas. The contractor then started texting like crazy (as early as 6:15am) asking that I give him more $$$ & he'd make good. I agreed to leave him another $500 in the paperbox & asked him to give me a break from his texts since I was going thru some very large issues with my business. well, I left a check in the box as I was going to work. His texting harassments continued to the point where I was truly afraid to have him in my house with my family. I also felt now that I couldn't trust him alone in the house with our valuables. At this point I opted to simply call it quits with this contractor & told him to stop communicating with me. After hiring another & after over a week, I get a text at 7:40am requesting that I pay him for the job. I said that the job was incomplete & what was done was done very poorly. I said it was best if we both moved on as I already have. His final response to me was calling me a 'scumbag'.

Regret: That I did not wait for either of the two painting professionals I used before because they were booked two months out or wait for the paint store referral to return from vacation. Cubeta was sort of recommended by a local paint store. I picked up his business card and my color consultant gave me the card of another painter; I asked about Cubeta and she said he was really nice and reliable. I gave him a $600 deposit based on a written proposal with a specific start date because I was scheduled for vacation. Less than 72 hours before the start he left me a voice mail message 'sorry I won't be there Monday, it is a holiday (Columbus Day) and that he had exterior work on Tuesday and Wednesday; he would get to me at the end of the week. I left him a message saying it is not what we agreed to in writing and I wanted my deposit returned. He called the next day saying he thought it over and he would arrive Monday. My gut feeling was "do not proceed" but I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Good Stuff: Jeff is good at determining the amount of paint needed for a job. When I mentioned to him that I previously used two other well known, highly rated painting companies; he said "I can run circles around anyone". He uses a helper who was excellent - good work ethic. His helper's work was good.

Not so Good - He asked to play his radio, I said yes but I didn't care for his singing that went along with it. The next day he asked if he could listen to the baseball game on TV, I said yes. (see more under the bad). His prep work is ok and inconsistent; he indicated verbally the prep work included nail pops; two were semi-addressed. When I pointed things out to Jeff, his mantra is "NO Problem" but he was not responsive when I pointed things out.
Bad Stuff: Jeff's demeanor changed when I told him that I called the person at the paint store and inquired about his reliability. Three times he brought up "Why did you call (name)" it was obvious to me that it bothered him that I called her. While his worker was plugging along he sits on my sofa and started watching the baseball game. He got a little too aggressive for me when I told him not to start cutting in the bedroom or bath, that I wanted him to finish the living space as it was only half finished. He lacks the work ethic and professionalism exhibited by his helper. I told him I would do an Angie's list review; he responded with a veiled threat that he better not see anything negative. I told him I would write the good and the bad and anything negative that I say will be able to be supported, 'your prep and painting speaks for itself and the voice mail messages are still on my phone.

Jeff was extremely professional, courteous, and prompt. He helped guide me in the right direction for paint choices and ideas of what to do with our crown molding and chair rail. This was extremely helpful for me as I am not a pro at interior design! The job was done with two coats and done the right way. He transformed my rooms from dark and drab (the previous owners had painted the room very dark colors and I wanted a more bright, neutral look) and also gave me paint tips along the way should I decide to paint other rooms myself. Money very well spent. I would definitely hire him again without hesitation.
