Bay Area Painting & Pressure Cleaning LLC

Robert met and exceeded our expectations for this project. Some rooms needed two coats to cover light paint over dark. He estimated the time and amount it would take. He came in on budget and beat his own timeline. He also suggested useful ideas that we had not thought off (i.e. painting a walk-in closet white instead of color for brighter effect. ) The quality of his work was excellent. Be confident to hire Robert if you want a job well done.

He is very conscientious about his work, and when he arrives, he gets right to it. He is like the Energizer bunny! His associate painter, Mike, who works with him, is also very conscientious, punctual, polite, and friendly, and pays great attention to detail. If you want a paint job that you will be very happy with, Robert Sanchez is the painter to call! He has been doing this work for 30 years. A lot of his work is commercial paint jobs, so you know his quality has to be up there or he wouldn't be receiving repeat jobs from commercial accounts. I felt his price was very reasonable compared to other painters that I had contacted. And the fact that he is both licensed and insured was a big plus. I had received quotes from unlicensed painters who quoted more than Robert for the job. If I need any more painting done, Robert is the painter I would contact to do the job.

We had Robert paint the exterior of our house around 3 years ago. We were impressed with his quality focus. The exterior still looks great. We recently moved and needed the interior painted. We had Robert paint the master bedroom along with two much larger living spaces. As expected, he did a great job with attention to the details.

Robert and his partner painted our three-story beach house last month and we could not be more pleased. They were quick, professional, responsive, and did an outstanding job. My engineer husband, who is picky about prep work and weatherproofing, was thrilled with the quality of their work. I especially appreciated how Robert helped us select the right colors by locating a color match. We've received many compliments on the new color. We also thought the price was great.

Polite, efficient, cleaned up after

Excellent detailed work on a difficult home to paint. remnants of textured paint etc. made this a job several painters wouldn't even consider. Fast and professional and extremely clean. I am so glad i found them. a+

I would recommend Robert any time anywhere. He is the best painter. I had pressure washed the house and primed it with two coats of kilz. Robert painted the house with two coats using both airless sprayer and roller. I provided the paint. Robert gave me excellent advice on what paint to purchase and gave me good advice on other projects that I am working on. Robert has an excellent attention to detail and I have had many requests for his card and complements on the work.

Pressure Washing
Pressure washing included the house, sidewalks, and parking pads. All washed items looked vastly cleaner after being washed. From afar, the house looked like it had been recently painted. The concrete sidewalks and parking pads looked as close to new as they ever will.
I was concerned about water getting into the soffits, but thankfully little or none did, as no water problems were apparent. No one was home at the time to give feedback about water going under/around doors. Multiple exterior doors had water ingress along with garage doors. No real damage was done, but note to future customer, move expensive furniture away from exterior doors and/or put down towels to block/absorb spray.
Surface Preparation
I had used silicone caulk on several cracks. I used a large amount with the intent of scraping and sanding to a flat surface resistant to further cracking, but did not get to the scraping and sanding. I did point out the largest one (around 12ft long, vertical line between original house and addition) and asked for it to be smoothed, which was done quite well by scraping and applying a thing layer of masonary compound to blend. After painting, I had a hard time finding the patch job. Two other smaller areas had a similar excess of caulk, but were not blended before painting. I am sure if I had asked, they would have done so, but I scraped and sanded before they returned to apply another coat of paint. They did come back after all other work was completed to touch up (apply another coat to) the areas I worked on.
Painting
The finished paint job looks great. All sprayed surfaces look smooth and uniform. The job took a little longer than projected due to rain, but definitely in a timely fashion.
Overall
Other than water getting under some of the doors, the rest of experience was rather pleasant. My wife receieved one other quote from another well reviewed organization found through Angie’s List, which was significantly higher. For what it is worth, Robert seemed more interested in painting our house (in a craftsman sort of way) than just filling his work schedule. Robert and his
assistant were friendly and professional. We have already recommended him to friends and would contract with him
again.

We were very pleased with the quality of Robert's work. Robert was very conscientious and did his best to work around us to minimize the disruption. Home looks like new in and out and we would definitely use Robert again. He aims to please his customer!

They were excellent. The price was good. I will use them again in the future.

Rob did an amazing job! His attention to detail and the added time and effort given to doing the job right was greatly appreciated. My house is an old (1920) 2 story Craftsman that needed a great deal of prep work. Many gaps and holes needed to be filled and properly prepped for painting. Rob went above and beyond to make sure all the prep work was done properly before painting. The end result is a beautifully finished home!

Robert Sanchez, owner of Bay Area Painting, was helpful with assisting us in our color selections. He was accommodating and listened to what we expected from him, and was very respectful toward our specific requests. Also he was very thorough and detailed with the complete paint job. We were very pleased with Robert, and would not hesitate to recommend Bay Area Painting.
