We couldn't get our painter that usually comes and we needed someone asap so we called MQ and i will not be going back to our old guy. The boss and workers were so polite, went above and beyond and cleaned the area to perfection. I literately made an account just to leave this review, that's how good they were.

We couldn't be happier with the work. The difference is night and day. If you need exterior painting, especially if there is related repair work that needs to be done, you can't go wrong with MQ Painting. Working with Jose and his crew was a pleasure from start to finish.

I reached out originally just to get my porch beams repainted, but when MQ came out to complete an estimate they noticed rotting wood and provided a quote to rebuild the facade on the supports, finish and paint. The work they did was excellent. Considering that I didn't originally budget for a job of this size it was well worth the cost to have them do the work. I would hire them again.

Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting.

Went really well. He was able to bring his crew over and they did a great job. Jose was able to fix all the rotted wood the same day as well. I'd hire him again.

MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again.

Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again.

Jose did an excellent job for us at a great price. His team even installed our new exterior wall light fixtures ( a challenging install).

Jose and his team were great. Very professional and friendly, and the newly stained deck looks awesome. They pressure washed one day and came back to sand and put two coats on in one day. We’ll see how it holds up but I feel good about it.

Excellent work, cleaned up everything. Friendly good crew. Highly recommend. Also ceiling repair was tricky and they came back to make sure it was perfect, and it was. You would never know there was any damage.

Extremely well. Punctual, neat and tidy, great attention to detail, outstanding quality. Did all prep work, including repairing siding, removing shutters, and caulking very efficiently and thoroughly. A bit pricey, but the result made it worth it.

Jose is a man in demand! He is professional and efficient with time. He mans a crew of up to 8 guys and they work together like a well played symphony!

My house looks great. I would hire Jose again. There was a lot more rotted wood on my house than I realized, but Jose and his crew showed me all the wood siding and wood trim around windows that needed to be replaced and got the job done. The paint job looks great. The house looks great. My new wood pillars look great. He pressure washed my brick walls which was above and beyond what I expected. He removed un-used cable wires that was littering the outside of my house.

Crew arrived on time and went right to work scraping, caulking and painting the exterior trim. They also replaced some rotted wood. They were very careful and cleaned up after they were finished. We also had the siding power washed. The house looks fresh and clean. Jose explained everything they were doing. It was a very professional job at a reasonable price. I would definitely use them again.

Jose Quintanilla and the team at MQ painting are another example why I value Angie's list. MQ Painting did an amazing job, at a very reasonable price. They group is very hard working, arriving as early as 7am on several days and staying until past 6pm to get the job done. Jose is great to work with. He understood exactly what I needed, and helped me make some decisions on areas I was not certain about. He pointed out some rotted wood I had not seen before, and replaced everything. Additionally, I had promised to cut back some trees on the side of my home which were overgrown and could not be accessed to paint. A work trip came up and I could not get someone to cut the trees in time, so I sent him a message to just skip painting that area since it was not accessible. He sent me a message back offering to cut back the tree's for me so they could paint the area, and didn't even charge additional for this. That is amazing customer service. The team did such a great job I plan to hire them to do my inside and deck without even seeking competitive quotes. It is so refreshing to work with a contractor who stays on schedule, on budget, an effective communicator, and does a fantastic job!

Great. The first day several guys came and primed. Second day 5 men painted and actually fixed a window that was damaged on the bottom. They were recommeded by friends in Illinois who used Angies list, They were clean, and moved right along. We will use them again. We are very pleased and definately use them again.

Jose and his team were fantastic! He was very responsive, gave a great price, and did amazing work! The team cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly. They checked in throughout the project to make sure everything was going the way we wanted. I added a last minute project, and they had no problem completing the extra on time too! They were scheduled to take up to 2 weeks, but they added more people and managed to complete the job in 1. It looks really great! I would totally recommend Jose and his team for any painting.
