House Painting, Inc. painted the entire exterior of our house, including trim that was very sun damaged/weather beaten.

I called House Painting, Inc. on a Monday morning and James came out to give an estimate about 2 hours later. He was very responsive to my questions. We had a couple of questions the next day and they were promptly answered. Work started on Wednesday morning (two days after making the initial call). The workers arrived on time every day. Given that they started midweek, they even came on a Saturday. The only delay was due to rain but as soon as the weather cleared, they were back at our house and finished everything exactly as quoted and expected. They even handled replacing the attic vent covers. These were not in the original quote. We asked if they could do it and they gave us a very reasonable price. This work was completed in the same professional manner as the rest of the job. Everything was picked up every day and we felt very comfortable having the workers around our house.

Member Comments:

I contacted Mr. Lee for an estimate and he came by for the estimate within 1-2 days.  His company called several times to make sure that I had the estimate and to inquire if/when I would be ready to start the job.  I e-mailed him with questions, and he immediately called me back to respond to my questions.  A date was arranged to start the job and they showed up at the EXACT time that they said they would….. and every day after they arrived from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.  They were meticulous in cleaning up after themselves every day.  They  payed  great attention to detail in the preparation for painting and the paint job itself.  It was a very pleasant experience to deal with such a professional group of folks.  Their work ethic  and pride in their work was amazing.  I will definitely have them  back and recommend them to friends/family.

Painted (after scraping, power washing and repairing surface) large area retaining/garden walls surrounding commercial building.

James Lee (the owner) called back within a few hours after leaving my message. He arrived within a day or two exactly on time to give estimate. After a careful look at my dreadful peeling wall (stucco “paint” had been applied at some point and several areas were now peeling off the original concrete wall) he showed me his portfolio of work which was AMAZING. He also gave me a printout of hundreds of references with addresses of his recent jobs…VERY impressive. He then took time to explain his estimate and exactly what needed to be done. Abraham and his helper arrived a few days later and proceeded to cover the parking lot and sidewalks around the building (a retail operation which was open for business) with plastic so the scraped paint wouldn’t get into the asphalt and gardens. After scraping and sanding the wall they removed the plastic tarps filled with debris and power washed the entire area to be painted. I was amazed at their fastidious preparation! Minor repairs were done…Abraham resurfaced parts of the wall with a stucco material to match the areas of the wall that had not peeled and several large “chips” of concrete were also repaired. The wall was then primed and painted and it looks like new! The workers were extremely neat and cleaned up completely every day. There was no interference with the busy retail operation and they were so quiet my customers and I forgot they were there! I have been in business for 37 years and James Lee (House Painting Inc.) is one of the best contractors I have ever hired!!

Painting – Exterior

Work Completed Date: November 11, 2011

Approximate Cost: $4,500.00

Prepared and painted the complete exterior of our 1200 sq. ft. house including attached pergola and new garage door.

After securing several estimates we decided to go with House Painting, Inc. because we felt that James the owner was the most professional of all. He listened to our needs, gave a thorough presentation of past work with an emphasis on prepping the house before the first drop of paint. He showed us lots of pictures, gave addresses of work done, presented all the paperwork of insurance, etc. He gave us follow up calls while we gathered other estimates to see if he could address any other concerns and even adjusted his quote to match a competing estimate. We felt all along that he was the one who really knew what he was doing and had extensive prior work addresses to back it up.

James’ crew of father and 2 sons showed up as scheduled and jumped right in on the prep work. They even patched a large hole in the stucco under our water heater cabinet that wasn’t visible unless you were on your hands and knees. I hadn’t even told them about it but was relieved to find they did it because it was a place that spiders liked to nest. They gave care in priming our metal garage door with the proper prime and sanding and repairing caulking on windows and sliding glass doors that needed it. They also took great care in removing and reattaching a large clinging rose bush on our house front…not a broken stem in the process.

What most impressed us was they painted four color samples of our choosing on the house for us to decide. We had a little panic of ugh…not the right colors…too pastel! With a call to James, he met us the next morning at a neighbor’s house that we liked the color. He helped us match it and ironically had his crew bring a sample of the exact color anticipating what we were aiming for. James and his crew were so patient with all our needs throughout the entire job (including painting on several samples of trim colors as well).

Father and sons did an amazing job. They were always so polite and patient even treated our dog as their own. We felt they were a family that took pride in their work and not just some workers who don’t really care. They never left any kind of mess or debris when leaving for the day.

The finished paint looked fantastic, the colors all in harmony and the trim work was incredibly precise. On the last day they had us walk the entire house to make sure there were not any spots or details we weren’t happy with. We found none. After the guys left James called us within the hour to also make sure we were completely happy with the work done.

The bottom line is we would highly recommend House Painting Inc. and will definitely use them for the interior when we get to that. Beyond the fact that they were so professional, knew exactly what they were doing start to finish, used high quality paint…is that from the first meeting with James to the last phone call, he and his crew repeatedly wanted to make sure we were “happy”…and we were!

To top it off, we weren’t able to get our new gutters up in time for them to paint while they were there and James said not to worry he’ll send his crew back in a couple of weeks to paint them to match house color. Who gives that kind of service anymore?!

House Painters Inc painted the exterior of our home. The crew sanded and primered all the trim including 20 windows, repaired damaged rain gutters, repaired stucco damage, properly sanded very worn wood. Caulked all area where needed. Properly covered and moved all patio furniture and plants. Once they were done, they put everything back and cleaned up the entire area. It was spotless.

House Painting Inc just completed painting the exterior of our house. They did a fantastic job. The house looks great and we couldn’t be happier. The crew  assigned to our house were very nice, polite, respectful, professional and showed up on time every day. They were very patient when we couldn’t decide on the color and even gave numerous test options (large ones so we could really see what it would look like). The crew even did some work we weren’t expecting, that was a huge added bonus. We would definitely use House Painters Inc. again and have already suggested them to friends and coworkers. Super nice and accommodating people to do business !

My wife and I were beyond impressed with the customer service we received from start to finish.  Even after we paid the bill and had some questions, we were treated like the most important clients ever! You can tell the first time you meet Mr. Lee that he’s a fair businessman who cares about his customers and reputation. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed by the service or work. BTW – his company was recommended by another Angie’s List contractor who does higher-end painting. For our needs, just the interior of a one-bedroom rental apartment, this contractor recommended Mr. Lee. When your peers recognize your good work, that says a lot!

These guys were great! Very clean and neat, very polite and professional, and they went out of their way to fill in all cracks, match wall textures, prevent overspray, and to do little things not even on the contract such as removing and replacing stripped screw from the cover on our porch light. I struggled with it for several weeks but never mentioned it to them because it wasn’t part of the job, but they found it and corrected it on their own. If you want your home or business painted expertly, on-time Exterior painting of a 3-bedr and professionally, chose this company. The owner, Mr. Lee and his foreman Shinn won’t ever let you down.

We used this company once before and there was no doubt we would use them for this project.  The building had not been painted in years so it was in need of some sprucing up.  James came out and as he always does listens to what we want done, takes notes, and then the work begins.  Joe came out with the crew and stayed with them until the last brush stroke.  The building looks great.  It took some time because the work of intricate, but Joe stayed there with the guys and got the job done.

:

I have plans already to begin a new project with James.  What I like is that he comes out personally and looks at the job.  You get a chance to discuss exactly what you want.  The work begins when he says it will and at the end you get to walk through with James and the crew leader to make sure your satisfaction is met.

House Painting did a fabulous job,as my house had not been painted for many years and had a lot of problems. They dealt with each one and they were great. Johhnie and his crew are true professionals and went out of their way to address each concern I had. The little details that most painters ignore, they did not. They performed little repairs that were not included, to make the finished job look great. My neighbors complimented the entire work. The price was great considering what they were up against. They cleaned up each and every day. My exterior and entire house looks great.

I will use them again when I paint the interior. I will recommend them to anyone who asks.
$3,800 may seem like a lot, but it was a great deal. I had obtained other estimates and they were much higher as they said I needed “this and that”, in order to bring up the price. The estimator showed me their BBB ratings, Contractors license, pictures of “before and after” work, etc. Original price was $3400 but I asked for an estimate to paint another exterior section, I was quoted $300. I countered with $400 as I thought $300 was too low given the quality of the work they were doing. I received a very professional job. I will use them again.

It went so much better than I had anticipated as my house needed a lot of work, not just painting. They were always on time, clean, stayed out of everyones way. I cannot say enough about them. They are the BEST PAINTERS I have ever used in the last 35 years.

Prepared exterior of house for painting.

Amazing!!  I have never had a painter whose prepreparation was so extensive.  They covered all the areas around the house, covered the plants, moved the mailbox so it was accessible for the mailman, pressure washed, sanded, and caulked.  They covered the car in my neighbors driveway.  It took two to three days just to prep the house for painting.  They painted samples of the paint to make sure of the colors I wanted.  When they were finished, they washed down and swept  the areas around the house.  The painters  were on time, worked hard all day long and were so pleasant.

I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.

Prepping and painting 1300 sq ft exterior plus detached garage
From my first meeting with James Lee, I could tell he was a good businessman.  Mind you anyone can roll up with impressive dossier that not only provides great examples but also comes with letters of recommendations- it happens all the time with job applicants, right?  The problem is finding out otherwise after the hire has occurred.  From the first day on the job, the crew showed up on time and were very very considerate (my father was just diagnosed with CA and preparing to undergo chemo at that time) and everyday thereafter, punctual and did the job as expected.  They took many days prepping the house (it was born in 1937) and was in dire need of blasting sanding and the prep prior to painting.  Once the painting started, it went very quickly, maybe two days tops and I have received so many compliments on the home and have referred this company on to many people.  I am planning to use them again on my rental before the end of the year.

Of worthy mention, I went to work on the second day of the job and left my father at home with my animals.  My small pug/chihuahua/terrier mix ran out the door when my father answered (they had to remove the screen door) and took off.  If it wasn’t for James lead guy, who ran two blocks after her and saw where she got up the freeway embankment to the 210 between Lincoln and Arroyo, she would not be with us today.  He literally saved her life, tried to calm down my hysterics and determined where she could be on the freeway based upon her entry point.  She was right in the vicinity he indicated.  Thank you so much, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I am so happy with the turn out.  James came out in June and gave us the estimate and even though they had to wait over 2 month for us to get ready for the job, there was not problem with that.  When they did begin the job, Joe was the head of the  team.  He never left the sight.  Everything turned out great.  Even when I added a change in the plan, there was no problem with that.  The building looks great and I’m very happy with their work.  As a matter of fact, they just started work on another project for us.

I hired House Painting to paint the inside and outside of a rental house. They are extremely thorough and detail-oriented. They are the first painting company I have used in years who removed all the switch plates and face plates before they painted, and covered all the switches and sockets with tape to avoid getting paint on them. In addition, they did some small repairs that needed to be done before the house was really ready to be painted (replaced broken window pane, cleaned gutter, replaced some wallboard), removed wallpaper in a small bathroom, stored window screens to be brushed and reinstalled after painting. They started a couple of days after I hired them, showed up on time, did meticulous prep, tracked down hard-to-find style of wooden shingles, gave good advice on outside color choices, and cleaned up after themselves. I am now using them to paint another rental house and will use them on my own home when the time comes.

I have painted four houses in the past 10 years (some of them more than once)  and House Painting is my painter from now on.

Wash, prep and paint exterior of large tudor house and detached garage.

Member Comments:

My elderly parents asked me to help them find a house painter. It’s a large and somewhat difficult house to paint. Two story, English tudor with crossbeams and  gables. I started to “google” some painters in the area, then lined them up for appointments. After reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on Painters Inc of LaCrescenta for an estimate. I had seen their signs in my parents area but being able to confirm a contractors history and customer satisfaction really put me and my parents at ease. James Lee (the owner) met me for the estimate. He was patient and extremely knowledgeable. We agreed on a price that was fair given the extent of the work to be done. We were assigned a crew leader (Andrew) and his crew. The prep work took four full days. In all the years of having this house painted I’ve never seen a crew prep the surface this well. Lots of sanding, even some repair work on some stucco, wood and metal gutters. The crew always cleaned up at the end of the day. As a bonus they threw in the painting of two iron gates. We look forward to using them in the near future for some interior work in the fall.

We had the exterior of our house painted, including significant prep to sand, bondo and prime before painting.

James Lee from House Painting, Inc. responded quickly to my inquiry  stopped by the house and gave me an estimate that same day. We were still selecting colors so didn’t actually start the work for about another week. We have a shake-shingle sided house that needed a lot of prep: sanding, bondo, etc.  The crew prepped the house for three full days and painted two full coats on the house the following three days. We had a light-yellow house that we were painting dark craftsman-style colors over and this required very careful and thorough painting to cover well. The crew arrived on time every morning, worked all day and cleaned up every night. They were open to my watching over their shoulders, asking questions and making minor requests. I will call House Painting, Inc. again in the future — when I’m ready to paint the interior!

Painted house exterior and detached garage and patio cover. Stripped out old wallpaper on interior and painted.

We called Jae and he came out to give us quotes for exterior and interior. He has several 3 ring binders with reference letters-I can see why!

I did not even get competing bids, since I knew the ones given me were spot on-and you cannot beat the job they do!

His crew came to prep and strip all of the wallpaper off before the plaster contractor came out to work on the house. Once the plaster job was finished they came and painted the exterior and did a beautiful job. They gave us some test colors on the exterior and we ended up matching the colors for seamless rain gutters that were installed. Plus, they painted the exterior brickwork on the front facade and looks fabulous.

Later we had them finish the interior and they did beautiful work. We had to coordinate with them during our cabinet restoration for the master bath and kitchen. They also painted the new interior doors that we had installed. Looks first rate.

The crew is very thorough and professional and we have got  lots of compliments on the house.  They were punctual and Jae was always responsive to requests or calls.

Member Comments:

Mr. Lee and his crew at House Painting, Inc. were a real pleasure to work with, and I would use them again without hesitation.  While I was in escrow, I got a recommendation for another painter and thought I was good to go.  However, they were difficult to reach and unresponsive, and then after running them down they told me they might not be able to get the job done before my move-in date.  With two weeks to go, I joined Angie’s list and found Mr. Lee.  He came right over, give me an estimate and lots of helpful information.  He assured me he could get the job done on time.  And he did!The crew was here for a week, because the prior owner had neglected the roof and there were numerous poorly patched areas on the walls as a result.  The roof was replaced, and the painting crew rolled in!  They kept the house spotless.  They tackled all the tricky patch work and got the walls back into good shape, and got everything painted.  They checked in with me constantly to make sure that painting was proceeding as I wanted, and they made minor adjustments along the way without complaint.  Overall, a very helpful, pleasant and professional group of people who did a great job on the house!  (There are a few places where the patching / prep work, I have noticed, are not quite as smooth as they should be, I think, to get an “A” rating.  To be fair, that could be because of the time constraints of this particular job.  I hesitated on this for awhile… If an A- rating were possible, that would be my preference.)One quirk to watch.  There were a few language difficulties with the work crew.  Generally, we worked through it.  Once, when I couldn’t understand what they were trying to explain to me about oil/water based paint and an issue that arose with the doors, I called the main office and explained that we were having a communication breakdown.  Mr. Lee called back right away, and everything was straighten out.  I would use House Painting again without hesitation.  In fact, I now need the outside of my house painted, and I expect I’ll be calling them again soon for that!

I used House Painting to paint the outside of my house.

They were very patient and hard working. They knew their job front and back. There was a minor problem with communication. The main painter was Asian and I had a little difficult time understanding him but he made sure that we communicated until we were on the same page. He made himself known and he made sure he understood me. He was very good and very professional. I would hire them again in a minute. They were very good. There were no hidden charges and everything was exactly the way they said it would be. He was very, very patient. What I liked about the main guy was when I went to choose a color there were several that were very close in shade and he said that we could try them all. He put big swatches of paint on the side of my house in a shady area and also in a sunny area so I could see how the colors looked in different places on my house. He was very good and I really appreciated that. He was very helpful.

I am going to use House Painting Inc. They came out and gave me an estimate and we are scheduled for sometime in August. They gave us the estimate sometime back in June for exterior painting.

We haven’t pinpointed the date yet. The representative came out and he was prepared. He listened to what we wanted to get done. He had recommendations from other clients and showed us that he was licensed. It was all there and we didn’t have him; he just showed it. He came out when he said he would.

James came and thoroughly checked out the work needed to patch and paint the stucco, and prep and paint the trim of my one-floor, ranch style home .   Song   arrived on time each day, power washed all of the house removing dirt and any bits of crumbling stucco, scraped and sanded loose paint, patched areas of the wood trim where needed, replaced a damaged board under one window and repaired damaged trim under another window. All windows were masked, drop cloths placed around the base of the house, and all plants were protected under plastic tents.  Gutters were removed and later reinstalled.  Both wood trim and stucco were completely primed before painting.  A trench was dug around all the walls to prime and paint below the ground level.  Price included all paint and materials.

The job took six days and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.  Song and Esteban were efficient and very hard working in 100+ temperatures.  Together they figured out how to shore up my listing side gate, and even adjusted the front screen door so that it now closes more easily.  Song was helpful and patient as I was choosing a new color, and painted large swaths of several colors in both sunny and shady areas of the walls so that I could get a realistic view of what each looked like before I made the final decision.  The gentlemen were polite, friendly, and played no loud music (I had to put up with that problem when my neighbors had their house painted.) The place was cleaned up perfectly and not a one plant was damaged. There were no hidden or “extra” charges; what James quoted was exactly what I paid (thank you, James!).   I’ve gotten several compliments from visitors and neighbors on how beautiful my house now looks.

Interior housepainting of approximately 2000 sq. ft. home.  Walls were painted in one color; ceilings, baseboards, and window trim and doorways were another.  Included master bedroom and closet, 2 other bedrooms and closets, entry closet, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, 2 hallways.  Also included filling holes, cracks, and sanding.

It couldn’t have gone any better.  Mr. Lee, the proprietor, was responsive and helpful, and gave us a quick turnaround on a quote, as we were in a tight time frame to get the interior completed between the time the prior owners moved out and before we wanted to move in.  His two workers  were excellent, and completed the job beautifully within the time frame promised.  Although the house was vacant while they were painting, we visited several times to see how things were going, and to handle contractors who were there to give estimates on other work we wanted done.  Name  were always working hard.  Both were very friendly and pleasant, and handled things I requested politely and professionally.  They never spilled a drop of paint, they repaired surfaces carefully, and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards.  I had complete confidence in their abilities.  The experience exceeded my (high) expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others.

They primed and painted interior doors.

Mr. Lee’s crew did an excellent job from start to finish. They even rescheduled part of the job at my request because of another unrelated home project and were professional and courteous. They were punctual, hard-working, and clean. They performed above and beyond expectations. I would definitely refer them to friends and use them again for future painting projects.

Removed wallpaper and painted one bedroom

With wallpaper from the mid-80’s starting to peel off the walls, I suggested to my mother that we paint the room. I was moving home and was going to use the room, and while I would’ve been okay with living with it temporarily, we needed to clear the room anyway to move my stuff in so I thought it might be a good opportunity to get it done now rather than later. My mother and I had planned on doing the work ourselves, but once we started, we found there was wallpaper under the old wallpaper and we realized we really didn’t have the time to figure it out nor the energy to do it. My mother called House Painting on Wednesday and they said they could come on Saturday morning to see the room and give us a quote, and if we were okay with it, they would start right away. We’d hoped to keep the cost of having the room painted at around $600, but with the removal of the added layer(s) of wallpaper, we thought the price was pretty fair. Removing the remaining wallpaper took two guys one full day (hearing all the scraping all day made us thankful we didn’t decide on doing it ourselves), on Sunday only one came back to paint the walls, closet doors, trim and ceiling. When my mother went to check on the guy thinking he was close to being done, she found the room was already finished and he was wiping down the hardwood floor to get what he could of the dust, meaning my mother didn’t have to do it (she was fully expecting she would have to). The room came out looking better than what my mother and I could have hoped to do ourselves. There are more sections of the house where we’d like to get rid of the wallpaper and paint, and my mother is happy enough that she’s already planning on calling them back when we’ve saved up the money. We’re thinking of getting the exterior of the house done further down the road as well.

House Painting Inc. painted the house – the exterior, the gate, and the garage.  Several painters sanded, primed and painted the stucco and wood parts of the house.  They also took care of the metal awnings by priming  and painting.  They repaired some parts of the older wooden window frames prior to painting so that a smooth painted surface would be achieved.  They put protective plastic coverings on the inside and outside of the windows as necessary to prevent debris from entering the house as they sanded and painted.  In the patio covering in the backyard, the painters repaired previous shoddy work done years before by another company, and sanded, primed and painted.  They placed yellow caution tape around the front yard to prevent accidents.

We had contacted several painting companies for quotes, and noticed that House Painting Inc.’s prices were competitive and their reputation impeccable.  We had a deadline to get the job started, and after finally deciding on House Painting Inc., the deadline was about two days away.  We called them, and pressured them to start the job almost immediately.  James Lee of House Painting Inc. was very accommodating, and juggled other painting projects and customers in order to start the job on the date we requested.  They started very early in the morning on that date, and were professional. They placed yellow caution tape around the front yard to prevent potential accidents, and were friendly and courteous the entire time.  We appreciated the trouble they went to to protect the house interior from sand and debris.  They placed plastic sheeting inside and out for that purpose.  They were focused and efficient, and worked long hours diligently.  We had minor concerns about a few spots on the wooden front door and window frames after painting, and James Lee addressed these issues immediately and thoroughly.  He even went beyond our expectations, and was proactive in finding and fixing any areas that might be an issue.  He even came over personally after working hours to address any concerns we had.  The painters were focused and sanded, primed and painted completely and effectively.  Some areas of the house required several extra coats of paint – the painters did whatever was necessary to achieve a professional appearance.  They primed and painted metal awnings as well as wooden patio covers.  They finished painting the garage in no time, and it is such an impressive paint job – I am convinced that House Painting Inc. fosters an attitude of perfectionism among its workers.  They completed all of the work quickly and efficiently, and checked in with us frequently to make sure we were happy with their progress.  After completion, James Lee bolstered our confidence in their work – he encouraged us to call him immediately if any of the paint started flaking. We asked them to give us an estimate for some interior painting, because of the great job they did with the exterior.  The house and garage look so amazing now, that when I pull up to the curb, it takes me a second to realize that this is the right house, this “House Beautiful” is really where I live!

I needed the interior of my old house painted before selling it. The walls were very dirty and had not been painted in nearly twenty years. My house crown molding thoughout and has 28 windows, most of them multipaned. That is a lot of tedious detail work.

Mr. Lee’s team, a husband and wife and another man, showed up everyday at the same time. The were extremely professional and efficient. They taped and papered the flooring in the whole house in one day before beginning sanding and cleaning. They worked quietly, which I really appreciated. My kitchen cabinets were not part of the job as they have vinyl fronts. I was worried they would look dirty and dull in my freshly painted kitchen. But to my surprise, the painters washed them for me. That was a lot of extra work they did not need to do. I am very happy with the beautiful finished interior.  A+++

They even fixed my picket fence that needed some pickets replaced and painted, and the fence was not part of the job. How is that for going the extra mile !

I was impressed by the owner, James Lee, who stressed the careful workmanship of his experienced painters and that his main goal was to have thoroughly satisfied customers. We asked him to paint the exterior of about three-quarters of our one-story 1952 tract home, stucco plus wood. (The remaining quarter of our home had been painted a few years earlier.)

Two painters, did all the work, which was excellent in all respects. They protected the shrubbery by wrapping cloth around each shrub. As part of the preparation they patiently and carefully caulked and patched gaps in our stucco and wood, including some places not likely to be seen by anyone. After more than two days in preparation, they began the painting, working carefully at the project. In the two coats applied, their brush work defining the lines between different colors was amazingly accurate. We were extremely pleased with the organization, patience, care, and skill that these very experienced painters showed and especially with the final result.

I needed some emergency stucco and paint work done after having a new sprinkler controller installed. Once the old one was removed we realized it had covered several holes in the stucco and badly needed painting.

I recently sold the house and needed to get this work done before the deal closed since I am leaving town, as well. Mr. Lee had his employee, Mr. Song, come the day after I called. He did the work as promised and then some. While waiting for the stucco to dry so he could paint it Mr. Song he went around the exterior of the house and looked for any little spot that needed touch up and he painted those, too. This was the third I used House Painting, Inc. Unfortunately I am leaving California so I can’t use them again — but I will certainly recommend them to the new owners of my house.

They were here all day, every day and really worked. It took a little more than a week. The interiors were an afterthought and he got a crew here the next day. He was very accommodating I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They want their customers to be happy. They seemed to know what they were doing. They found a cracked window pane while they were painting and they replaced that for us. They did some of the glazing on the windows. We had them take out 2 shelves under windows that were planter boxes. It left holes in the stucco. They repaired that and painted over that and it looks great. They knew other things to do for the house besides painting to make the house look good. Neighbors who typically walk by our house complimented on how nice it looked. They were great to work with.

I had received 2 quotes to have my newly replastered living room area painted. I called House Painting last and the next day Mr. Lee came to my house and gave me a quote and a time frame which was almost half the previous quote and 2 days less in the time it would take. His crew was at my door the following morning on the dot. They covered whatever needed to be covered, removed whatever was on the walls and proceeded to prep the walls with primer. They verified the colors I had settled on and sent one of the crew to buy it so it would be ready the next morning., The next morning they arrived on time, painted the whole room, cleared and put the furniture back in placed and were done.

I can’t say enough good things about the job they did. Everyone who has dropped by the house has made a comment as to how nice it looks. Most important though, I am happy with the results and can recommend their services without hesitation.

We were also having our wood floors refinished and James accomodated the coordination of schedules with the flooring contractor. The painting crew was very professional. They carefully covered the newly finished hardwood floors and masked all non-painted surfaces. The quality of the work is outstanding. The crew arrived each day on-time, and cleaned up their work area before they left. I will be using House Painting, Inc. again for the exterior work next. These guys are great, and I highly recommend them.

James was extremely professional and helpful in setting expectations. He was the only one that pointed out imperfections in the wall and let me know what was in their scope of work. His crew was awesome…very polite, nice and flexible. Andy and his crew also helped give us the right ideas on paint color based on their experience. They didn’t select but told us what to think about. We loved the paint job and would hire and recommend them to anyone. Thanks,

Approximate Cost: $1,100.00

Description Of Work:

I had received 2 quotes to have my newly replastered living room area painted. I called House Painting last and the next day Mr. Lee came to my house and gave me a quote and a time frame which was almost half the previous quote and 2 days less in the time it would take. His crew was at my door the following morning on the dot. They covered whatever needed to be covered, removed whatever was on the walls and proceeded to prep the walls with primer. They verified the colors I had settled on and sent one of the crew to buy it so it would be ready the next morning., The next morning they arrived on time, painted the whole room, cleared and put the furniture back in placed and were done.

I can’t say enough good things about the job they did. Everyone who has dropped by the house has made a comment as to how nice it looks. Most important though, I am happy with the results and can recommend their services without hesitation.

Description Of Work:

Interior painting of 4 bedrooms (2 toned color scheme in 2 rooms), 2 bathrooms, family room, living room, kitchen and corridors, closets and baseboards

I  find a reputed painter and decided to go with House Painting Inc .I spoke on the phone with James Lee, who was very polite and courteous and came over for an estimate as soon as possible. I do not know how the price compares to others as I did not call any other painters, but I thought it was a reasonable price. James’ painters also painted a couple of extra things like my front door and a couple of places on the ceiling. The painters were polite and efficient, offered helpful suggestions concerning paint colors. They finished the work within the estimated time and I was very happy with the results. The job is very clean and neat, the paint is even and there are no splotchces anywhere. It looks like a whole new house. I would definitely use them for future paint jobs and recommend them to a friend. Thank you, James and your team!

They scrapped, puttied, caulked, and prepped for the 1st 2 days, then painted the second 2. Beautiful job. My mother was delighted. We would hire them again any time. Can’t speak highly enough about them.

Home Build Year: 1950

Description Of Work: Painted house and detached garage, fence,gate, associated masonry, rear deck and associated railing

James Lee — the owner– came out to do the estimate himself. He was very though and went to great pains to explain what he would repair, how he would repair it and clean and prep the exterior of the house and the detached garage. When the crew showed up on time and on the scheduled day, the crew foreman  made sure everything came off like clockwork. He made sure that I approved each color swatch and even showed it to me in a dry practice swatch on the house. When last minute repairs were needed, he and the crew accommodated the schedule and helped do the repairs that could not have been predicted from the original estimate. The crew was polite, on time, neat and worked very h****** some very hot days. I originally picked the company because the owner seemed very detail oriented. No detail of how the job would be done escaped his attention. He was not the most inexpensive bid I received for the job, but I felt that if he was this particular on the estimate, his crew would probably reflect that same attention to detail. They did under the guidance of the excellent crew foreman. I am very happy with the job and the value for the price I paid. I would recommend this company without reservation.

Abraham and Luis worked 9 days on the house, took their time, and did a terrific job. Seems like 7 of the days where spent prepping the house (taping, scraping, sanding, priming). Did put multiple coats on everything. We messed up our stucco color, and they were happy to change it for us. Abraham went out of his way to fix damaged wood. Of all the estimates, they were somewhere in the middle — best choice I ever made.

96?? Cedros Avenue PANORAMA CITY CA 91402 Painting – Exterior. Work Completed Date: August 28, 2010 Approximate Cost: $4,250.00 Description Of Work: They painted the exterior of our house; trim stucco, siding, and windo awnings. They did an excellent job! They even removed and repaired the exterior garage entry door that was showing signs of dry rot near the bottoem. They did this at no additional charge! We have many plantings around our foundation; shrubs, flowers, and trellises that were attached to the stucco walls. They carefully removed and supported the trellises, as well as protectively wrapping the other plantings. My wife is very “picky” and focuses on details. We walked around the house at the beginning of each day to check the progress of the job and check for any corrections, adjustments, or additional work that needed to be done. All of our questions were answered and concerns addressed. All this was done in the scortching valley heat of 100-108 degrees! Mr. Lee and his crew made my wife very happy with the painting job, which makes me very happy.

Member Comments: The work done was excellent! Everyone involved from the company owner, Mr. James Lee to his painters, Song were great to deal with and their suggestions and explanation of things were very helpful and thorough. This is the first home improvement company that I’ve ever dealt with that didn’t ask for at least some money down for supplies, etc. Mr. Lee said to just to pay in full when the work was completed (and because of the very weather-beaten condition of the stucco, woodwork, and metalwork that they had to deal with, as well as the size of the house and garage it was a 5-day job). They made a very worn-out looking old house look like new for a very reasonable price (of the 3 bids taken, theirs was in the middle – the low was $3,600 and the high was unbelievably $25,000 for the same job) and for that I extremely grateful.

Scott, Lee and Dee did an excellent job of painting the walls and woodwork of a large condo, and in removing wallpaper from 2 bathrooms prior to painting. I thought the cost was fair for the quality of the work done and the excellent clean-up. The painters took it upon themselves to paint the ceilings in the 2 of the bathrooms and in the kitchen because they looked “dirty” next to the new paint and did so without extra charge. I was completely satisfied.

Replaced damaged boards, scraped off old cracking and peeling paint, power washed exterior walls, primed needed areas, even painted our gate and basketball backboard. Member Comments: EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!!! James Lee came out within a few days of making the call for an estimate. He was very friendly, detailed and described everything that would be done to repaint the house and ensure the work was done well. They began about a week after he came for the estimate. Immediately they were scraping the old cracked and peeled paint off. Every day we could see an incredible difference in the amount of work that was done on the house. The estimate was 7 days of work which they completed in 4 days and with careful detailed work (not sloppy) done. Meeting and talking with the crew that he sent, you can tell that they ALL take pride in the quality of work that they perform. They were not in a rush to get it done quickly, they would take all the necessary steps to carefully ensure the paint would stay on the house and not peel off. Whenever we would see them they would describe what they did for the day and ask how we liked it and what we thought. You could tell that they wanted to ensure that we were happy with the quality of the work that they were doing. They did an exceptional job of moving items, protecting plants and covering all the windows to ensure paint did not end up on areas that it did not belong. This is the very first contract company that I can say they actually did a better job than what we would have done ourselves. Many times people hire contractors because they don’t have the time and energy to do all the work, but they are not 100% satisfied with the work. For us, we were ecstatic with the work that they did and are absolutely 100% satisfied with the quality. Even today, weeks later, I still look at the paint job that they did with admiration and pride on how beautiful our house looks with the quality paint job that they performed. His crew was exceptionally considerate when it came to my young children. Whenever we would walk by areas that they would work, they would completely move items out of the way so that we would not trip over them. They even did nice touches, but asked first to see if we wanted items like the backboard of our basketball hoop repainted too. The day before trash day, I was so nicely surprised when I went out to move the trash cans that they had already put them on the curb for us. They have been the friendliest, most considerate, most detailed contract company I have ever worked with. I will absolutely use them again when I need them including for the interior of the house.

Impressive preparation, including plaster/stucco repair. Great care was taken to protect plants,shubbery and patio furniture from any paint damage. Project manager Song was especially responsive to our questions and very helpful in aiding us to identify the exact color we were seeking.

25??  VETERAN AVENUE LOS ANGELES CA 90064 Painting – Interior Work Completed Date: April 20, 2010 Approximate Cost:  $4,950.00 Home Build Year: 1940 Description Of Work: I hired House Painting Inc. to paint all but 2 rooms in my 1200 sq ft, 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house. There was alot of prep work to do since some areas had not been painted in about 15 years and the house is older (built in 1940). The two painters did a very thorough job sanding, scraping, patching and cleaning surfaces. They forgot to mask off a few areas before sanding but overall were very careful. They did 2 coats of paint – brushing, rolling and spraying where necessary. The kitchen cabinet doors had already been removed so it made sense to set them up in the back yard and spray them. My plan called for four different colors and 3 different sheens so I was concerned that they would have a difficult time figuring out the color scheme but they had no problem keeping it all straight. They wanted to use oil based paint on the trim because they felt they would get a smoother finish but they went along with my request to only use No-VOC paint from Benjamin Moore. This was an added cost since it was not one of the brands from their list but it was worth it to me. When the job was done, no paint fumes!! Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of their painting and with the clean-up and I would recommend them. Member Comments: See Above

2?? N GLENROY AVE LOS ANGELES CA 90049 Plastering   Siding    Wallpaper Removal  Pressure Washing  Stucco Painting – Exterior Painting – Interior May 28, 2010 Approximate Cost: $7,400.00 Home Build Year: 1951 Description Of Work: Our ranch style house was built in the early ’50’s and is 3,000 square feet. It is stucco with wood siding and brick in the front. The house was patched where needed, pressure washed and the exterior was painted. We also had 3 sets of French doors painted on the exterior. In the interior…the entry, living room and one of the bathrooms was painted. We had 2 sets of French doors painted as well. Member Comments: There are painters and there are craftsmen who paint. James Lee and his crew are the craftsmen who paint. My husband and I are thrilled with the results of our job. We have lived in our house for 24 years, had it painted several times since, and this is undoubtedly the best that it has ever looked. James told me that our house would be the best looking on the street and he was right. The care with which his painters treated our house, its surroundings and our belongings was exceptional. The exterior crew was very thorough…each plant surrounding the house was individually wrapped to for protection. The guys dug a small trench around the house to make sure that the paint went below the level of the dirt. They took the old cracked paint down to the bare wood and stucco in places. Their patching was meticulous and they didn’t miss a thing. Many years ago, we had updated the electrical box on the side of the house and the old electric meter had been removed from inside its metal frame. This left the large concave metal frame that was inset into the stucco wall, which was an eyesore. Previous painters had just painted around the problem, but not James’ crew. The old frame was removed from inside the wall, the large hole was patched and the stucco repaired so that now, you cannot tell that there was ever anything there. There were a couple of bricks near the driveway that had been knocked loose and when I came home one day they had been repaired. The attention to detail is very much appreciated…this company knows how to please their clients. When the exterior work was finished and it was time to switch to painting the interior, I was sorry to see the outside crew leave. The next workday, the interior crew arrived on time and immediately proceeded to take great care in moving our items, covering and masking everything. They were just as nice and professional as the exterior crew. Like the exterior crew, they took the time to unscrew and remove everything from the walls…(unlike most painters that we’ve experienced, who tend to paint around them). Late one afternoon after painting one wall in the living room, we realized that the color was wrong. The guys didn’t think a thing of it, stopped painting the walls, finished up with some other work and came back the next day with the new paint selection. Everything was done cheerfully and exactly as we wanted. Our house looks great…inside and out!! James is a real professional and his estimate was reasonable. His crews were professional, polite and cleaned up after each workday. My husband and I are so happy that we’ve finally found a really excellent painting contractor. James definitely has another customer for life and we have already begun recommending him to our friends. I only have good things to say about our experience with House Painting Inc.

2??  So. Ardmore Ave LOS ANGELES CA 90004 Painting – Exterior Work Completed Date: May 24, 2010 Approximate Cost: $3,000.00 Description Of Work: This is a Craftsman house on two levels and includes approximately sixty (!) windows. The siding on the house was in good shape; but all of the trim needed to be re-painted in addition to a tall stucco covered chimney. Some of the wood was quite damaged and required considerable prep and repair in the way of puttying and filling. Member Comments: Mr. Lee came out to do the estimate the same day I called. I appreciated that he immediately handed me paperwork that showed his license, insurance, and workman’s comp. He also included a list of work his company had performed .  Within three days, I received a formal proposal by email and he was able to start the work two days later. The “crew” consisted of two painters who work independently in a very organized manner. Once all the prep was done, which took two days, Mr. Choi took on the windows while Jorge worked on larger areas such as the fascia, rafters, chimney etc. The two men are very focused, especially Mr. Choi who brings a zen-like concentration to the fine detailed work necessary on the windows. I can say that he put the same concentration into the sixtieth window as he did on the first. The painters clean up the entire area after work each day and pay special attention to taking care of any flowers/plants in the work space. I was extremely pleased with the work they did and will not hesitate to call them again for the next painting job.
