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.

The paint job is perfect. I especially love the light yellow walls in the bedroom. Everything came out even nicer than I expected. Thank you, thank you!
