My elderly mother moved into an assisted living facility & her home of 40 years had to be cleared out & prepped for rental. I called Bill Dumond of Pacific West Painting to come out to the house to give me an estimate for prep & painting of the entire interior. I live 75 miles away & there was a considerable amount of prep work required, so I had Bill walk from room to room while on the phone, so I could tell him everything I wanted done. Bill advised me to have a coat of oil based primer put on all interior surfaces, because my mother was a smoker & the tars could leach through a water base paint. After we went over everything, Bill gave me the quote & it was about the same total cost as another painter’s estimate. But Bill’s estimate included the additional oil base primer and significant more prep work than the other guy. At first he said he couldn’t schedule me in for about a month, but to accommodate me, he was able to shift some things around and start in about 2 days, so I gave him the job. We were also having the floors replaced & Bill was able to coordinate with the flooring guy to do all the prep & paint work before the floors were installed, then come back & paint the base boards after they were installed. Throughout the job, Bill called me about any details that were unclear, so there were no misunderstandings. We discussed things like which doorknobs, drawer pulls, towel racks, toilet paper holders, etc to keep & which to toss. It was refreshing to work with someone who actually communicates with you! Thanks to Bill, the house was completely prepped, painted & the floors installed in about 9 days.

The end result was an amazing transformation from an old, tired interior, lost in the 70’s to a beautiful, modern home, anybody would be proud of. I highly recommend Pacific West Painting for a job well done. All in all, it was a big job, done right, on time & for a very good price. If you want good work, honesty & excellent communications, Bill is your guy.

Bill, I just wanted to thank you and the guys for a great job. Your crew led by Javier were wonderful, they were polite, neat and very professional. If I asked for a favor or anything they were very responsive. Bill your communication is what sold us on you in the first place and that’s what really helped while the job was going on. Any time I had a question you were there to answer. And we also had a minor problem after the job was done but you came right back and we solved it and made it right. Thanks again for a great job and hope to see you soon.

Great House Painter in Encino, CA

Had used Bill and his crew before. In fact, I wouldn’t ever use anyone else. They moved most of my furniture into garage before getting down to work. Prep work was extremely meticulous: covering all my floors, masking, filling holes, sanding, etc. When the prep work is done this well, the actual painting is a breeze and goes rapidly. I disliked a color I had chosen, so the guys changed it for me, no problem. If you’re searching for painters, these are the guys to use!

Painter in Oxnard – Definitely worth the extra cost!

In our case, exterior painting had to include more than just the painter. Because of termite damage and the need for new gutters, coordination between three different contractors was necessary. We selected Pacific West Painters largely on the good reviews on Angie’s List, even though the quote was a bit higher than the others we received.

After the initial estimate from Pacific West Painting, we had the “gutter guy” remove the gutters, and Pacific West returned to pressure wash the house. Bill, the owner, alerted us to several areas where termite damage could be seen, and recommended we seek treatment for the termites prior to painting.

Prior to completion of the termite treatment, Bill returned to help us with the color choice. We had picked several colors that he sampled on the back wall, but after speaking with us, Bill recommended another color more in keeping with our house and the neighborhood. Our final color choice was very close to his recommendation, and we appreciated his advice.

Our only glitch came as we completed the termite repairs and locked in the color choice. Our initial start date with Pacific West was delayed by some of this activity, and due to scheduling issues, Bill asked if he could start later. This presented a problem: we had company coming for an extended three week stay and the new start date was not acceptable, requiring another 6 week or longer postponement.

Bill responded quickly and was able to reschedule the job in time to complete it prior to our company arriving. Once started, the job was completed in 3 1/2 days, with a crew at the house all day. As promised, the trim was scraped and sanded, patched where necessary, and spot primed as needed. The crew was meticulous about masking and keeping drips off of concrete and decking.

Our stucco is a very rough, knock-down style Spanish stucco with deep recesses, and the previous paint job had areas with the former color showing through if you looked closely enough. Bill had assured us his painters would not only spray two coats, but follow the second coat with a roller to ensure 100% coverage.

The quality of the work is outstanding. The trim looks new, with no evidence of the old color showing through even around the uneven roof tiles (a place where the prior paint job showed errors). Bill’s crew spent the time necessary to make sure every nook and cranny was painted.

The underside of the deck showed careful painting as well, with no marks or “overbrush” onto the rough deck boards above. The stucco had several areas where patching was required, and once painted, these areas “disappeared” into the rest of the stucco. The application of two coats, the second followed by a roller, covered the prior color perfectly. His crew made sure the coverage was good, and in one place, applied a third coat by hand where a large patched area had a slightly lighter color. Perfect!

Our security door, with perforated metal “screening”, had light rust and presented a challenge to paint. The door was removed, sanded, and sprayed in a very professional manner, so that none of the small perforated holes were clogged with paint. In addition, a metal railing on the porch was masked and sprayed for a very smooth, flawless finish.

On the final day, Bill did a complete walk-through with his crew to make sure everything was complete. While we had our “moment of panic” over scheduling, that was quickly resolved and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Our initial uncertainty about paying a bit more was relegated to the “definitely worth the extra cost” category, the reason we rated even “Price” at an “A”. We can recommend Pacific West Painting without hesitation.

Stucco Repair and House Painted in Ventura California

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:00:51 +0000

We absolutely would recommend Bill and his team to anyone who wants their house painted. We are so thrilled with the way the exterior of our house and windows look! As perfectionists, it is satisfying to know that Pacific West Painting works the same way. The prep work involved pretty much set the expectations on the project…attention to details. The stucco work on the retaining wall looks fantastic! We have had so many compliments on our house.
Thanks Bill for the tips and encouragement on painting the wrought iron fence. I am so glad I did this prior to having the work done.

You guys are simply the BEST,

House Painted to Perfection in Newbury Park, California

Typically I look forward to hiring a contractor as much as I look forward to getting a root canal. I was in this state of mind when I contacted Pacific West. But Bill’s quick professional response, timely estimate, attention to detail and courteous communication started me thinking maybe there are still some good guys left out there. That assumption was confirmed once the crew began working on our house. The amount of effort they put into the prep work and repair was inspiring. It was obvious this job was going to get done right. Once the painting began I was relaxed and confident that I would be pleased with the results. The final verdict: Perfection!

Customer Review: Exterior and Interior House Painting in Northridge California

Pacific West first painted the exterior of my home many years ago, I was so happy with that work, that I did not hesitate to have them paint the interior of my home. When trim needs touching up or I redecorate, I call knowing that I will get the best work possible! In 17 years, Pacific West is the ONLY contractor I have left alone to work in my home without supervision. I trust them completely and they have lived up to every promise and every expectation! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Thank you Bill and Pacific West! Our house was in desperate need of a face-lift – cracks, chips, and peeling paint from the 1970s does not make for a beautiful property. Somehow you managed to turn it around and bring it into the new millennium, making the exterior seem completely new again! Your crew was completely professional and hardworking; the crazy dog even stopped barking after the first day!

Thanks again,
