Green Plum Design

Ros Wyatt and her crew are as good as it gets. She is extremely knowledgeable about color combinations, design, houses in various East Bay neighborhoods, and other important details of house-​painting, and is a joy to work with. Her crew is very efficient, and are quite careful about not leaving messes and cleaning up after themselves. My house looks fantastic, completely transformed from the drab mess and peeling paint visible before she arrived. You really cannot do better than Green Plum Design!

I recently had the good fortune of working with Roz Wyatt, owner of Green Plum Design, for exterior painting of my home in the El Cerrito hills. She was professional, knowledgeable, reliable, available and has a great crew of painters. Their daily clean-​up was incredible and when they were completely finished, they even washed the windows! In addition to being a lovely person, Roz has a background in color consulting which was invaluable in helping me arrive at a color scheme. I was so happy with the exterior work that I had them also paint a couple of interior rooms and they also were able to repair a damaged stucco retaining wall and paint that as well. My highest recommendation for Green Plum Design.

From start to finish, Green Plum did an excellent job in painting the exterior of our house. Ros, the owner, supervised the job and was very attentive. She and her foreman met with us twice before the job started to go over details. Ros also went over color choices twice and was very perceptive about what would look good with the home’s architectural style and the garden design. When it came time to execute the work, the crew showed meticulous attention to detail — making small repairs as needed and carefully painting the trim. They worked around extensive edible landscaping and a PV system on the roof without causing any paint chips in the garden, overspray, or damage. They also coordinated well with other contractors who were also making improvements at the same time. Ultimately, Green Plum finished ahead of schedule, on budget, and did a beautiful job!

Hello, I would recommend Ros and Green Plum Design and she is a talent with energy.

After collecting several bids for painters, I met Ros Wyatt of GreenPlum Design and immediately was impressed by her attention to detail and lovely personality. I was delighted to find her bid very competitive. She helped me pick out colors for my house by coming ahead of time to paint on samples and I’m thrilled with the final result. I was very concerned about the old lead paint as I have two young children. She put my mind at ease with the extreme care her crew took during the entire process. Her crew worked tirelessly and were very considerate of me and my little ones. I look forward to working with Ros in the future!

Ros Wyatt of Green Plum is a delight to work with.
She helped us pick out colors that not only worked extremely well together, but definitely gave the house an individual identity. She was patient and attentive to our needs, really listening to the ideas and concerns we might’ve had and guiding us to a fantastic conclusion.
Her lines of communication were completely open, which I loved. It was never hard to get a hold of her, and she was realistic about timing and scheduling.
Her workers were fast and efficient, and very professional. They spent a lot of time of prep, which was reassuring, and were very open to coming back to the house months later to fix any tiny imperfections we might’ve found.
All in all, a great experience. The exterior of our house looks amazing, and I can’t wait to use Green Plum for our interiors as well.

Sometimes you spend a little time and money to get something done right. You know you could do it yourself, but you doubt you could do it as well as you really want it done. And you sure as heck know, after a little thought, that if you just stick with what you know, and let other folks do what it is that they know, you’ll be way ahead in the end!
And then what happens? You turn to the Yellow Pages. You talk to your friends. You search on Google. You read fifty shades of Unilocal reviews. And you still don’t know what to do!
Let me be your best friend for a moment. I can save you a whole lot of heartache and frustration. Your hair might even retain it’s natural color!
The next time you need a painter, call Green Plum Design and ask for Ros. Period.
Ros Wyatt and her team of painters at Green Plum Design House Painting are sublime! I was literally drowning in nuances of the same damn color. Ros was a quiet voice and a calming hand as she guided me to beautiful choices. And she was always at hand when any question came up.
Her team of painters were professional, clearly very experienced and hard working. I was impressed that they spent a long time on the prep work.
My house hasn’t just been painted, it has also been restored. And you know what? I didn’t lose any sleep, and my hair is still here, young, brown, and beautiful! What more could one hope for?

Five stars all the way for Green Plum Design for top notch quality, service, design, and exceptional support and follow-​up through every detailed step of getting the interior and exterior of our home fully painted and prepared for sale. Ros is incredibly talented and responsive and her crew a highly skilled and a wonderful group of hard working, friendly and pleasant craftsmen to work with. Beautiful work = complete satisfaction.

Ros has a great eye for color and design and will help you make the most of your house without spending a lot of time or money. She is also a lovely person, very sympathetic and easy to work with. She help you identify your own aesthetic — and then make it better! Highly recommended…

Although I liked the colors I had chosen for each separate room in our house, they each seemed very distinct and individual and the colors didn’t flow together in any cohesive way. We hired Green Plum design to design a new palette that would give each room a little bit of an identity, but work together pleasantly as a whole.
I was thrilled with the colors that Ros chose. She listened carefully, thought about the problem and presented us with a palette that works beautifully in our home. While she was thinking about it she sent a few emails a long the lines of «what do you think about this?» and «imagine this for your bedroom.» I felt that the resulting color scheme was gently and patiently guided by her, but truly came from our family’s wants and needs.
Highly recommended!
