Rufino Painting did an excellent job on our house, painting the exterior wooden trim, including windows and doors, sealing our porch ceilings and touching up our Hardie board siding. They previously painted the interior of our house. They arrive early and work hard all day, doing an excellent, meticulous job quickly. In addition to their fantastic work, Raul and his team are honest and truly enjoyable to be around. I give them my highest recommendation!

Perfecto! It took Raul less than an hour to gather all the information needed to put an estimate together. He is thorough and doesn't miss a trick. He noticed tiny cracks and dinged trim that had long ago become just what I thought our house looked like. It took his team maybe a week to not only change the look of our house, but restore every surface to "factory new" condition. Truly an outstanding job. As one of our nieces put it, now our "house could be the lobby of a fancy boutique hotel." Will definitely be using Rufino for the second floor! Soon as we decide on the colors...

Fantastic!!! Do not think twice about hiring these guys to paint for you. Totally professional, they show up early and wait for the time they told you they would be there (unheard of!), prep for the job was complete to protect my home, prep on the walls was more than I was expecting ( I used to paint years ago), the work was done to perfection, and the cleanup was excellent. Raul even said that he would paint a few areas that was not in the estimate....free because he thought it would look nice. The crew is very friendly and courteous. The price was a little higher than I expected, but totally reasonable considering the reviews I read. You get what you pay for and Rufino Painters is worth every penny. In fact, I paid him and his crew even more because of how impressed I was with the service they provided. One hundred percent satisfied.

Raul and his team are true professionals and did an amazing job. He agreed to use Behr Marquee (not his preferred brand, it is apparently a bit trickier to work with) because we like the finish and durability. The work is immaculate, they were very careful and respectful of our home, they showed up on time each day, and finished the job as scheduled. His price was very reasonable (amount shown does not include ~$500 in supply costs). To top it off, Raul is kind and personable. I will hire them again in an instant and recommend them to everyone.

Our request for an estimate for stripping one of our windows was responded to immediately with a willingness to squeeze our small project into Rufino’s busy schedule. The job was completed as promised in just two days. I appreciated their attention to detail with special care given to finding choices for the stain color and window locks that suited us and handling unforeseen problems that were not part of their services. Our life was made easier by their prompt arrival each morning and leaving the unit exactly as it was before the project began.

I submitted a request for a painting quote on a Saturday morning and Raul responded within 10 minutes. That day he came over to give me a price quote, and the crew was there at 6:30am Monday to begin work. It took 2 days to finish painting my living room, dining room, and kitchen and they did a fantastic job! These guys have skills...Lines are super straight, trim is perfect, and they covered up holes so well I can't even remember where they were. :-) I wish I had more painting to be done in my house so I could hire them again!

Rufino Painting did an AMAZING job repainting the full interior of our new home. They are consummate professionals with years of painting experience under their belts. I was 100% happy with their work. They provided me with an estimate for the job and honored it. We were on a tight time frame, and Rufino Painting worked long days in order to ensure the job was complete and done to their high standard on time. Raul, who runs the company, was friendly, patient in his explanations, and thorough in all his work, as were the other painters (all relatives of Raul's). They do the work themselves and it is done to incredibly high quality. Raul also referred me to several other trades people with whom he has worked, including an electrician who came the following day and installed can lighting in our living room before the painters painted the ceiling, so that we wouldn't have to repaint later. I wholeheartedly recommend Rufino Painting to anyone looking for an interior or exterior painter!

Rufino Painting provided excellent service! They were on time and highly efficient over the 3.5 days for the paint job. They were also early in finishing, as the original quote was for a 4 day paint job. They did excellent quality work, use high quality paint, and did some minor wall repairs. They helped advise on paint color selection and placement as well. And their pricing was reasonable for the high quality of work. I would use them again, and highly recommend them for any paint job, large or small.

Quality of work is excellent; these guys are experienced and really know what they're doing. Originally was estimated to be a 2 day job for 2 bedrooms and some other miscellaneous areas. But they were able to paint both bedrooms including trim in 1 day, which helped to minimize disruption to our sleeping arrangements. They returned the next day to complete the other areas. Price was competitive with other vendors.

The whole process was very smooth. Raul responded to my initial call quickly, and we got a bid from him promptly (we got 3 separate bids for the work). We picked Rufino because Raul’s estimate was thorough, and his bid was competitive (he’s also super friendly). Raul, Jorge and Cesar were on the job every day promptly at 7 am and finished in the quoted time. Prep work was extensive, and they took great care with our belongings. Everything was left as they found it, and they were more friendly and patient with our two cats than our two cats deserved. Most importantly, the result is excellent. Colors are rich, the ceiling looks better than I ever thought possible. Trim looks great. I absolutely would use Raul and his team again.

We had Rufino Painting repaint our entire 3 bed 2 bath condo (all walls, trim, ceilings, closets, and doors). It was a big job, and Rufino painting gave us an accurate quote that was lower than most of the other companies we considered. The quote included all paint (high quality Benjamin Moore) and materials. These were even discounted over what I was quoted at the store. Raul (the owner) was incredibly quick and easy to communicate with. I had some narrow time windows that I needed the job to be done during, and Raul was able to meet them. Raul and his team were very punctual on every day of the 5 day job. Our condo had restrictions on when work could be done, and he and his team accommodated those. They worked long hours to get the job done in one week since the condo association did not allow work during the weekend. Raul helped me make a few paint choices (about finish and some basic color choices) and I found that very helpful. The quality of work that Raul and his team did was amazing. I loved having the owner out working the job with a team that he trusts. They sanded down all the walls before starting and did an incredible job speckling and patching some drywall holes. The previous paint job we had from another company was awful, and Raul and his team painstakingly undid all their mistakes. In particular, there was one wall-wall-ceiling ceiling corner that the other company had spackled in a ridiculous rounded way, sort of like a quarter of a dome. Without me asking about it (I had assumed it was unfixable), Raul’s team chipped that mess out and reformed a nice looking corner. All the edging around the windows, baseboards, and ceiling that they did was impeccable. We will use Rufino painting for all our future jobs and regularly recommend them to anyone we know in the area getting their house painted.

Raul was quick to respond after our initial inquiry online. He came out & bid the job shortly thereafter. There were no delays in getting the work done. Great communication from start to finish and the quality of the job was fantastic. His prices are fair and transparent. We would happily hire Rufino again.

Raul was very responsive from the initial request for a quote through the work being performed. I selected Rufino Painting after obtaining quotes from a few contractors, and Rufino Painting was competitive in pricing. Raul and his team showed up a few minutes early and promptly got to work. They made sure to prep by laying out tarps and moving furniture, etc. so the jobsite would remain clean. They worked continuously and completed the job with very nice results, all the while maintaining a dialogue on the type of paint to use, the number of coats required, etc. so I was well-informed. Clean-up was very nicely performed, and the entire crew was very, very polite and thorough. I highly recommend Raul and the rest of the Rufino Painting team.

Raul and family were top notch. I've never worked with a more professional contractor and I could not be more happy about the results. They showed up on time, communicated well and showed great follow thru. I was most impressed with how much effort they put towards preparation for painting. No shortcuts were taken. I wish they did other types of work besides painting because they were such a pleasure to work with.

Our experience with Raul and his team was great. Raul called me within 24 hours of my request and offered to visit and provide an estimate the next morning. We were trying to get the interior of our condo (walls, trim, doors, ceilings) painted before we moved in, and we were on a tight schedule to get it done. Raul offered to adjust his team's schedule to meet our timeframe, and they started working for us within a few days of the estimate. The crew was very professional - showing up early each day, working efficiently, and completing the job ahead of schedule. Our condo had a number of holes in the walls left by the previous owner that the crew patched as part of their prep-work and the walls look like new after prep and painting. Based on all of the above, I would definitely recommend Rufino Painting to friends and neighbors.

Our experience with Rufino was excellent from start to finish -- they came by the same day I contacted them and provided a quote along with clear explanation of the work to be done. As this was a small interior job, they worked it in quickly, utilizing a rain day on an exterior job. The crew showed up early, did all work efficiently and professionally, and cleaned up well afterward. The walls in the kitchen look like new. Raul was a pleasure to do with business with (and was very helpful and patient with color-matching), and I would recommend Rufino Painting to friends and neighbors. The price seemed fair based on my own experience with this sort of work and speaking with other vendors.

We had a great experience with Rufino Painting. Raul was prompt and helpful from the very beginning. He was able to help with colour selection and offer some advice about technique as well. The crew was on time everyday and they even finished the project early. The quality of the work is fantastic, the edging was done perfectly and the plaster patching they did is seamless. The crew was thoughtful (they always removed their shoes to walk through the house), clean and efficient. They were able to accomplish in four days what I hadn't been able to in three years. I am thrilled with the job that they did and our house looks great!

Raul was wonderful! I called asking if he would be able to come in the next few weeks to give me an estimate and he called back that day and came the next to give us an estimate. He had the entire job done within 2 weeks! All the rooms were done well (even repaired any holes in the wall in the closets and replaced all the shelving) and so neatly! I mentioned that we also needed to have the floors redone and he said he knew someone (his brother-in-law). He said he would coordinate the 2 projects so that dust would not get into the new paint. Frederico Sandoval did a superb job on our floors, even fixed the doorway from the hall into the bathroom so that it was flush!

It went fantastic. Raul Rufino came and gave me a great estimate. He was on time. His 3 man crew did the entire job in 2 days. The paint job came out excellent. And cleanup was superb. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them
