Scott’s Painting

Scott was great to work with! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering getting their house painted. We hired him to prep and paint the exterior of our Pleasanton home. His bid was very fair. He started and finished the job as scheduled. He communicated with us during the process. He was very willing to work with us on color selection — he even custom adjusted a paint color on site. We selected a door color, but realized it was a little too «bright» after he applied the first coat. Scott was able to add some black to the paint and achieved the perfect color for us. We have already talked with him about painting the entire interior of our home. Scott takes great pride in his work — he wants to ensure that the job is done the RIGHT way. Do yourself a favor and call Scott!

Scott from Scott’s painting is thorough, on-​point, knowledgeable, really chill, down to earth and comes highly recommended. He is great at providing his opinion on what would look esthetically pleasing. He is very quick and accurate and just a great person to work with. He has all the equipment and supplies that he needs to get the job done and he is very timely. Scott’s painting is an excellent choice for your painting needs!

Scott was a pleasure to work with! He was on time, thorough, and a man of his word. He even brought some repairs needed to our attention regarding our chimney. His estimate was accurate and his work was completed in the time frame in which he promised. I even had him return to paint my fence in addition to after he completed my house. I have already referred Scott to many of my friends and I will be contacting him come time to paint the interior of my home.

We hired Scott to paint the interior of our house. He had reasonable pricing and impeccable timing. Everything fell into place once he came to give us the estimate. Scott and his team were very quick and they wrapped up the work in less than 3 days. After we moved in we noticed few spots which needed touch ups. I called Scott and asked him if he can do some touch ups and he did return and addressed those areas after few days. He also re-​painted our kitchen ceiling after we got dry wall texturing work done and did not quote us extra for that work. Overall, we are happy with the job done by him.

Nice guy. Took copious notes while in our home, I just assumed the notes made it into the contract. They didn’t. Shame on me for not reading carefully before signing. When my wife pointed out the missing items, he said not in contract, so no work. Quality of the work, especially inside, marginal. Price, more than double quoted by a friend, but Scott was able to do in a couple days. Won’t be using again.

If you are looking for a quick slam bam painter who doesn’t use drop clothes or masking tape Scotts your guy… far from a perfectionist. Scott was my choice after reading lots of very good reviews on Unilocal,I am only sending my review hoping all who read responses on Unilocal looking for a painter who is neat and and takes pride in his work… well. price his fair, finished product not to my satisfaction… I am very meticulous… Good Luck All!!!

Fantastic experience — quick response, perfectly on time, great price, and quick and flawless work. Highly recommend!

We had Scott’s Painting paint the exterior of our house and we couldn’t be more pleased.
I received recommendations for Scott and one other highly Unilocal-​rated local painter from contractors who did great work for us on two different projects last year. I received estimates from both — they were very fair and within a $ 100 dollars of each other so I was torn as to who to work with.
We really wanted the job completed before El Nino kicked in to full gear as it was long overdue and some trim was down to the wood in spots. Getting the job done before winter rains could cause any damage was a top priority– in spite of his busy schedule Scott was the most flexible and fit us in right before Thanksgiving which sealed our decision.
Scott was on point with follow up/​communication from the time we scheduled an estimate until the job was done. He showed up on time, as promised and his work was great. After the first day of painting we realized that the color we chose for the gutters and eaves was completely wrong and changed our mind about not going with a second color for the window trim in the back of the house.
Scott was very patient and accommodating, he came out on the second day to repaint the trim color we hated, trimmed the windows and finished the rest of the job. Scott was very fair on the additional costs for making the changes we wanted and took it in stride when he had to repaint what he had already completed — he wanted us to be happy with the end product… period.
Besides the quality work Scott is a very chill, personable guy and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Scott’s Painting and will use him again when we’re ready to tackle our large interior paint job.

Scott’s the man. Best quote we got and the the job was a 10+! He was very good communicating unlike most contractors these days, was there when he said, and had good advice on colors. Hire him. You’ll be happy!

Scott came out the same day to give us a quote on painting our small condo. His quote was very reasonable and he was able to do the job within a couple of days. His work turned out great! Everything we talked about was done. He does quality work. Super nice to deal with. We would definitely hire him again.

Scott Smiley provided exactly what we needed! He responded within a couple of hours to our request for an estimate, came out to discuss the job the next day and quickly followed up with the best bid. He was very clear about what he would take on (he prefers not to paint kitchen cabinets), he had to match colors to a previous job, and he set very precise expectations on the schedule. Scott handled challenges, like making an extremely large crack in a textured load bearing shear wall disappear completely, all without issue. And he keeps the job site clean and he’s fast! He completed the job on schedule and on budget and he is so easy to work with! If you worry about finding the right contractor; if you’re looking for someone who can do the best job at the best price, look no further – call Scott Smiley!

I had Scott’s painting, paint my two story house in Dublin.
Scott and team did a fantastic job. He listened to my requests and took care of all of them. They were very professional and very punctual and we all like that these days. They did exactly what they promised they would do, and when finished they cleaned up afterwards and left the yard nice.
I would definitely recommend Scott’s Painting to anyone looking for a very good painter.

We hired Scott Smiley to paint the exterior of our 3,700 square foot home. He provided the best service we have ever received from a painter. We have hired many good painters over the past 40 years but I can say without equivocation that Scott was the best by a mile. Him and his crew were exceptionally neat, on time, on budget and very helpful from our first meeting. We will definitely use him for all of our painting jobs in the future and we have recommended him to all of our friends.

We contacted Scott Smiley for an estimate for exterior painting. He did not respond to his online request for an appointment (honestly I find this consistent with contractors — why have an online submission form if you aren’t going to ever respond to it?). He did respond to my follow up email a week later and we set up an appointment.
Three hours after our scheduled appointment I got an email from him telling me he wouldn’t be able to make it and set up another appointment for the following day. Three hours where we could be doing anything other than waiting around for someone to show up. It takes about 30 second to call and say you can’t make it.
He did show the next day and walked around the property, taking notes, listening to what we wanted, explaining what prep work would need to be done, etc. He said he would send an estimate in a few days.
That was over a month ago. So far no estimate, no further contact. Fine — if you don’t want the job just send a quick email saying you are unable to submit an estimate. You’re too booked up, the job is too challenging, whatever. Especially when you have my phone number, email address and home address — any one of those communication channels would have been appreciated.
We had bids from two other painting contractors all facing the same challenges with being busy before the holidays and dealing with uncertain weather but both of them showed up on time for their appointments, were responsive and submitted bids within a day. They were very respectful of our time.

Scott did a clean, nice paint meticulously throughout the exterior of our home.
He showed up on time every day and cleaned up the area completely when the job had finished.
He later called us and came back to do a small fix on the chimney wood cracks, which showed he cared about the quality of his work!
I highly recommend this company as they are very easy to work with!

One word: Fantastic!
Scott returned phone calls, showed up on time for both the estimate and paint job.
I had a small paint job, and the top 9 recommended painters on Unilocal,didn’t really want my business because the job was so small. Scott, recognizing that I really needed the work done, took the time to make sure that I was a 100% satisfied customer.
I can not speak highly enough of Scott’s Painting. Very professional, brought all the necessary equipment and supplies to get the job done. And they did it super fast without scaraficying quality work.
I would call Scott again in a heartbeat.
Thank you, Scott and Jose for our new living room!!!

Scott just finished painting the exterior of our house and we are really happy with it! His bid came in lower than the other two painters I contacted for the job and he came recommended by two neighbors. He and his employee were professional and got the job done quickly. Really nice guys too!

Scott and his team did an amazing job on our house. He arrived on time both days and communication was great. He also made lots of fuss of our dog and she liked him which I always take as a good sign.

Update:
Yesterday I received a call form Scott who wanted to make things right per my previous post. Admittedly, I fixed most of the issues I’ve seen after the touchup was done; it was not difficult work, it just was a lot of smart things.
However, Scott’s willingness to get things corrected as well as valid fact that the contractor I had was impeding on his work has made me realize that perhaps I was not completely fair with my previous review.
Either way, 4 stars for Scott and I’ll definitely consider his services for any future work I may need.

Scott’s painting just finished painting the exterior of our home. Every step of the process was executed in a professional manner. Scott, the company owner, is hands-​on and involved in the entire process. Scott’s bid was reasonable, he did what he said he was going to do and he and his team were extremely organized and professional in their work and the job results. The house looks great! I called Scott based on the other Unilocal remarks and he delivered the 5 star results that several other satisfied customers gave him. Scott and his team will be called again when we need more painting done. He did an outstanding job.
Thank you Scott!
