Joe’s Premium Painting

After using Joe’s premium paint awhile back I’ll never use another company. Been using him for years and never one issue. They are beyond professional and never had a problem with the price. He’s been in the business a long time and knows exactly what he’s doing. Some of the bad reviews make me laugh cause I know they are a joke. If you want it done right for a good price he’s your man.

Be aware this is a painting contractor, not a painter so Joe, who gives the estimate, is not present for the work. While the painter Miguel was skilled, not having Joe on the job caused lots of communication issues. In their favor, the painting job was well done. I love how it turned out.
The problems:
1. Way overpriced. The estimate does not include the price of paint or supplies. Because they spray a lot, they use tons of paint. I was charged an extra $ 1,200 for paint and supplies (every face mask, piece of tape, roller, and roll of plastic) on top of the initial estimate that was on the pricey side to begin with. I was expecting about $ 600 for paint (they used 26 gallons of white for trim, cabinets, one wall, and the garage!), so I wouldn’t work with someone that doesn’t at least give parameters of what the extra costs will be.
2. Not customer service oriented. Joe was plenty friendly initially, but when I had an issue with the scope or many miscommunications of detail, he was defensive and unhelpful.
3. Lots of missed detail at the end. They didn’t replace any of the lights or ceiling fan covers they had taken down, doorknob innards, left paper inside cabinets, left the heater covers, blinds, and paint cans out in the rain. When I asked for the lights to be replaced, they put my kitchen fixture back up crooked and with 2 screws into the plaster. Luckily, we noticed and fixed it before it fell on my kids’ heads. They sprayed over closet carpet that was not going to be replaced, which cost me $ 120. Joe was not helpful when I pointed it out to him.
So, overall, while I was pleased with the final painting product, it was an expensive, stressful, annoying experience and I’ve had much better experiences with other painters. If Joe tells you I’m not a past customer of his (as he said to me about a previous review) don’t believe it!

I have used a lot of painters over the decades. Joe and his team are the best I have ever worked with.
Joe’s team painted the interior of our company’s 10,000 sf offices with a variety of colors and surfaces. They offered custom color selections office-​by-​office, added some artistic touches, used write-​able paint in our meeting rooms, and added our company name and logo. The end result was beautiful, high-​quality, rapidly-​completed, and within budget. Nice people, great work!

I have used these guys in the past and recently had some damage done by a fire. They came and did a great job and Joe made some great suggestions on some other things. He is very good at this. Thanks Joe and Miguel.

The adjective «Premium» does not belong in the name of this company. Why? Read on.
I used Joe’s Premium Painting and they painted the exterior of my house a few months ago after a contract was signed. Joe was nice, perhaps a little cocky, and he seems to know his trade well and takes pride in the ownership of his company. He drives a cool signature car. :)
Joe walked with me around the exterior noting what was to be painted (everything) and how I wanted him to paint outlet covers, down spouts, pipes, etc. Joe, however, didn’t paint my house. In fact, he didn’t even supervise. The man who painted my house did not receive the details from Joe as to what was to be painted and how so I had to tell him daily about these details as he came across them.
Use Joe’s Premium Painting if you:
–Like acting as the supervisor since Joe won’t be around to supervise his crew
–Like telling the crew over and over what needs to be painted and how.
–Like removing your own light fixtures, door knobs and anything attached to the house that you do not want the crew to paint around (they even tried to paint around my doorbell because they wouldn’t remove it)
–Like your outdoor outlets painted (I am talking about the actual outlet UNDER the waterproof out door cover)
–Like inferior wood used for any wood replacement
–Like to pick paint chips out of your shrubs after the job is over because they didn’t use a tarp and/​or thoroughly clean up after doing their prep work
–Like to see stucco problems (bubbling, raised lines) that they should have repaired per contract but were painted over instead
–Like to work with a crew who are rushed to get finished and don’t seem to give a damn about the job they are doing on your property
–Like to sometimes have a sense that the crew is doing you a favor and you should therefore feel honored that they accepted the contract to work on your house.
–Like seeing wood siding surfaces that are supposed to be smooth but are not because the crew did not spend enough time sanding it smooth.
–Like to spend a premium price for a mediocre job
My advice:
–Don’t sign a contract until you have, in writing, verbiage which will cover you for problems I mention above. Don’t let Joe talk you out of it.
–Shop around. Painting is the easiest trade. There are plenty of legit, insured, licensed workers out of work and willing to negotiate.
–Make sure the final payment is a significant amount and Don’t Pay Until Satisfied.

Joe’s painted our exterior of our house. I was very pleased with the service from the time of the initial quote to completion of the job. Joe was able to also get other items done not associated with the paint job. Even though his quote was mid-​range compared to the other quotes I received, I felt joe was most knowledgeable and felt comfortable the job would be done perfectly which it was. I would highly recommend Jose’s premium painting to anyone.

After reading the Unilocal reviews for Joe’s Painting I was eager to have them out to paint a house I own in Cypress. It is a fairly large house with high ceilings and dingy, damaged walls and I wanted painters who had the expertise to do a great job on this difficult house.
Mackenzie was very helpful is setting up and confirming the appointment for the estimate. (That is why I gave them 2 stars instead of one.)
Joe came out and wandered around though the house. He took a few photos (odd) and mumbled a rough idea of a price. He said he would email me the details. He showed me his paperwork so I know that he had my correct email address. I never heard from him again.
If Joe didn’t want to paint the house he should have let me know so I didn’t waste time waiting for his estimate.
After waiting a week or two, I called Color World Paint (I think they are in Vila Park). They came out and gave me a detailed written estimate on the spot. I set up an appointment for them to begin painting the following Monday. Color World finished last Friday and did a great job.

I recently used Joe’s Premium painting to paint the interior of my condo. Joe and his crew were professional, on time, and were very reasonably priced. After picking the paint color and having the crew arrive, I left to go work. When I returned, I realized I had made a mistake with the paint color I had selected, it was way too dark. Problem was, they were more than halfway done at this point. A little panicked, I immediately called Joe and explained what had happened and told him I needed to fix the problem that I created. Fearing that it was going to be expensive and time consuming to have it fixed, I was pleasantly surprised when Joe simply said he would get it done, and at very reasonable price for the request. When all was said and done, the paint job was done quickly and looked great. I can’t recommend Joe’s Premium Painting enough. Call these guys!!!

We stumbled upon Joe’s crew in the midst of an «over your head» job in which we were trying to re-​paint our entire house. I am glad that we did. Joe offers reasonable prices and excellent craftsmanship.
Joe’s crew showed up on time and worked diligently to ensure we had exactly what we needed. The house (7 months later) still looks as good as the day they finished. I will definitely use Joe’s Premium Painting again!

These guys did an awesome job on removing wall-​paper and painting of my kitchen. They were thorough, quick, and reasonably priced. They followed through on the timing of their work. I would recommend to anyone looking to have some interior painting done.

Joe’s Premium Painting… ROCK!
I decided to redo my parents bathroom for them when they were out of town… first I was just going to paint and update all the décor, but then I decided hmmm my parents have talked about wanting to refinish the cabinets… I can do that! Well I started sanding… after a day of sanding I decided I was WAY in over my head. I had heard about Joe’s Premium Painting so I decided to call them in for help. The next day they were at my house looking at what I had done so far, breaking down prices and what was left to do to complete the project. At this point I only had three days left before my parents would be back home… I asked if it were even possible to complete. They were awesome and made it happen! The crew was very professional, I hardly even noticed they were in the house working! I was even able to have a full evening and night to get all the décor in place. My parents came home that morning from the airport and were blown away! The work that they did on the cabinets was AMAZING… my father said he could not even believe they were the same cabinets. Having Joe’s Premium Painting refinish the cabinets to the dark stain that I wanted made the whole bathroom look new!!! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone :)
Thanks Joe’s Premium Painting!
