J & J’s Final Coat Painting

We had them paint our house and they did a great job! Their team of painters were professional and respectful and Joe, the owner, was accommodating. I am a very type A personality and he worked hard to ensure I was happy with the job they did. His prices were on the higher end of the quotes we got, but the results were well worth it. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Kumberley

If you are considering having your house painted — look no further. We just had our house painted and could not be happier. The staff & crew are professional, friendly and efficient. They show up on time, do meticulous work and check in with their clients regularly to make sure everything is running just as planned. When I called for an estimate — Jill Sabel (Owner) set up an appointment within a very reasonable period of time. Joe Sabel (Owner) Arrived on time and provided a step by step explanation of their process (they do much more than the average paint contractor — trust me I got severals bids — none were even close), they use the highest quality paints and clean up each and every day before they leave. They even fixed a fairly significant dry rot issue around my kitchen windows (not an easy job — looks fantastic!) The crew are part of the company and not independent contractors — they also have proper insurance and provide copies with the bid. Their bid was very competitive (reasonable) — and I must admit — worth every penny. My neighbors stopped by several times to ask for phone numbers and get cards. Even my sister in law has called and arranged for an estimate. Needless to say, I will be calling them this coming winter to do an interior paint job.

This past month, I noticed some some white stain coming from my chimney. Called final coat, which painted the house 3 years ago. Owner looked at stain, said it was ashes from previously done chimney work.
Owner said no problem, sent one of his painters out 2 weeks later, and painted the outside of chimney at no cost!
Have used these guys for the last 20 years. They spend as much time caulking as painting. After watching them, I know my house is being sealed with caulk and then spending the time to put on one coat and the next day another.
I will continue to use these guys.

The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) finally issued a warning to J&J in June 2015, Case No. NA2012−18 268, for «Departure from accepted trade standards for good and workman like construction». It cost me $ 3150 to have another company restore the entire paint job (except the gutters and eaves), because paint was peeling off all over the house. I had paid J&J $ 2808, withholding the last $ 807. Problems kept appearing because of their lack of prep work, «completing» the job in two short days instead of the 4 – 5 days Joe Sabel told me they would be working here. They spent only four hours prepping my 1178 sq. ft. house, which supposedly was scraping old paint, caulking cracks, and priming the entire house, after taping up all the windows and doors. Not the prep work boasted about in their Diamond Certified brochure and ad. Joe Sabel ignored my protests, even the painted over dirt on the house which was visible after they described how they were going to brush it off, and bullied forward when he showed up with the color paint, applying all these things the same day, when his ads even state they never caulk and paint the same day.
The Small Claims Court awarded me a measly $ 1250 ($ 50 for court fees), entering the judgment 1÷11÷16, Case No. MSC15−0862. The CSLB sent J&J a Notice of Construction Related Judgment on 3÷10÷16, telling them when they’d have to pay in full before having their license suspended, after I received only $ 100 after 45 days and sent the CSLB the documentation. J&J defied the Court by not resolving the payment within 30 days. In response to the CSLB Notice, J&J sent me a bad check to pay in full. I contacted Diamond Certified, the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List. After hearing from Diamond Certified, they finally paid in full.
This job should have cost $ 3615 (J&J’s quote) and been done in November 2012. It turned into a three year and four month disaster and fight and cost $ 4758 ($ 2808 + $ 3150 — $ 1200 judgment). I couldn’t restore the job till after the CSLB issued a warning, otherwise I would have «destroyed the evidence», so that was finally done July 2015.
J&J also had a legal service send me letters three times threatening to sue me, twice if I didn’t remove my reviews.

My realtor said paint that wall before listing !! J and J to the rescue !! They fit me in their busy schedule. Great services. Fair prices. THANKS AGAIN.

Joe and Jill Sabel are the owners of Final Coat Painting. They’re an incredible company and have my unequivocal endorsement. Joe not only provided me with a reasonable cost estimate, his employees thoroughly inspected the entire exterior of the house and replaced numerous 2×4 wooden boards which had lots of visible dry rot, with new wood of much better quality. Joe’s crew chief Walter did a phenomenal job. His crew spent almost as much time replacing dry rot with new wood, and priming rusty nails as they did painting the house. Other painters will caulk dry rotted areas which is only a temporary fix. The Final Coat painters replaced rotted out boards which is the proper way to correct the problem. Otherwise, you run the risk of the dry rot coming back. They only charged me $ 280 over their original estimate for additional material which they hadn’t foreseen needed replacement.
Considering all the rain we are now having, I’m delighted we selected J&J ‘s Final Coat as our painting contractor last summer. They did a fantastic job! Much appreciated!

After reviewing a few proposals I selected Final Coat to paint the outside of my house. The work started without delay with their employee Rick power washing the exterior thoroughly. A few days later the crew came and started with the preparation and the painting. It was very easy to clarify any questions with Rick and everybody was very accommodating and professional. There was a bird nesting next to my house and they all took great effort not to disturb it unnecessarily (little things matter). During the painting my wife found the colors too bland and we bought a different paint to be included. I am sure it was a hassle for the crew, but they were cooperating without hesitation. It was great to see that they wanted us to be happy with the result of their work. Of course I would choose Final Coat again for painting my house!

Great company, great employees! Would and will highly recommend.
Did my due diligence in getting several estimates and researching the companies.
I was a little concerned with regards to the negative Unilocal comment but having seen their work on a neighbors home, his insistence on how good they are and the fact that their pricing was right in the middle, I chose them to paint the exterior of our home. So glad I did!
Due to extremely poor quality material and workmanship from the original builder we had a number of concerns with the exterior condition. Joe explained in detail the procedures they follow and what they would do to resolve the numerous problem areas. The final result is that Joe was true to his word, the attention to detail in both the prep work and actual painting was just as promised and it was completed in the time frame given.
I can’t say enough good about the foreman Rick, along with Steve and the rest of the crew they were such a pleasure to work with! They arrived promptly, went straight to work and worked steadily through the day, they were thorough, conscientious and very professional in every step of the process.

They just finished painting our house and we’re very happy with everything. All of the workers were really friendly, helpful and did a great job. After the job was done we noticed a couple of tiny drips that most people wouldn’t have even noticed. We mentioned it to them in an email and told them it wasn’t a big deal but they sent someone out to fix every little thing.
The house looks great and we will be hiring them again soon to refinish our deck.

This is a very ethical painting contractor who delivers very good value for the cost. The painting crew was efficient and executed the kind of results that were promised upfront. I will definitely use them again, if the need ever arises.

We needed an exterior paint job for a one-​story ranch-​style house. We got 3 estimates. Joe Sabel of J and J’s Final Coat Painting, recommended by a contractor who had referred to him for years, met with us. Joe was a pleasure to work with. He was very clear about what would be included, and the estimate was fair. Luckily, we signed with this company.
Joe’s brother Tom was foreman on the job. All of the painters, including Tom, were professional, talented, and respectful of the house, as well as the landscaping. They were prompt and had great work ethic. I was home during the work. Their attention to detail both during the prep and the actual painting was impressive. As they finished the job, they asked me to walk around and check for any minor issues that might be corrected.
We valued the advice, as well as the work performed, by these experienced painters; they cared about the end result, which has already drawn compliments from several neighbors.

We called «Joe» to set an appointment for a bid on painting our house. It was only 2 days before the actual appointment. We set aside our time and «work hours» so we could be there to talk with him. The day comes and goes and his lazy, inconsiderate self never shows up. He never called back after we called and left him a message inquiring about what happened. We assumed he was too ashamed and chicken to even call us back for missing the appointment. What kind of a person runs a business in that manner?!! Just a total flunkie!!!

We got 4 bids to paint the outside of our house and their bid was very much in line with others. What made them stand out,. to me, was taking to time to explain the prep work that would be done before painting.
They painted the outside with two coats and the result was marvelous. Joe was also a good resource for color selection with some very sound advice. They also bought some small amounts of the colors we picked to paint small areas for us to see what it would look like, it was a good thing, one of the colors was terrible, and Joe pointed us to a similar color that would wear better, and it also looked tremendous, especially compared to the awful color we almost got.
One of our gutters was bent and the painter was able to, more or less, fix it so the roof line looked nice.
Anyway, we were very satisfied and we highly recommend them.

Simply put, the quality of their work exceeds their competition.
There have been a few houses in our neighborhood painted recently and none of them looks as good.
When Joe said they would put two coats on the house he meant it. All the painting contractors I got quotes from all had different ideas of what «two coats» meant. Listen to what the painting contractors say when they give you a bid and always make sure the person painting the house (or the owner of the company) takes the time to explain it to you. Joe also backs his work with a guarantee that is better than any other painting contractor. He’s a local business person who is proud of his work.
I was so impressed with Joe that I even had him give me a quote to paint the large arbor on the back of our house. Other painting contractors wanted almost as much to paint the arbor as they did the house. J&J quoted much less and when I asked why the other bids were so high Joe simply said: most painters don’t like jobs like arbors because its all hand painting. So not only did J&J paint our house but they painted the arbor in our backyard and both look great.
The J&J team took the time to power wash and caulk the entire house and then his team meticulously painted the house. When we told them we wanted to change the trim color on the house the day before they were going to start painting the trim Joe said no problem just leave a message and he would have his team pick up the right color on the way to the house. The J&J crew is polite, on time and a pleasure to work with.
The house looks so good that people actually stop their cars and tell us how good it looks.
Quality customer service. Quality team. Quality job. That’s how I would describe J&J’s Final Coat Painting.
