Brushworks Painting

Brushworks is the best! They painted my kitchen cabinets and they turned out perfectly. I had added crown molding to the top and everything was painted seamlessly to look like it had always been there. They were very professional, prompt and worked very hard till the job was complete. Attention to detail was at the top of their list. I would definitely recommend Brushworks to anyone.

Wayne came out to provide an estimate to paint our new home; he is accurate and thoroughly professional, and still really friendly and warm. We had interviewed five companies, and Brushworks is the best! Brushworks is a very professional company — they have workman’s comp for all their employees, and treat the guys well, their contractor’s info is clearly available on the the State site, and have and A+ rating through BBB.
The crew came out and painted exactly as expected, and actually finished ahead of schedule! The paint looks great, they did two coats, and we’re really really happy with it. I’d love to have given a 5-​star rating, but, I found a few splotches that needed clean up (on tile floors and counters) that I shouldn’t have had to deal with. Wayne called a day or two after completion for a follow up (nice touch!) and was disappointed I did it myself instead of calling to have one of the team come out. I know for next time; I’ll certainly use Brushworks again –

I hired Brushworks to paint two rooms for me that were an awful gold/​green. They showed up on time and did the job in a timely way. They were so attentive to my requests. The paint job was perfect I am totally happy. I will for sure hire them for any of my future paint jobs. You will not be disappointed

Excellent work inside and out! Great attention to detail. Very professional, will definitely hire them again

I’ll start by saying that we hired Brushworks to paint our condo interior and refinish kitchen cabinets because they have been in business since 1978 and the Unilocal reviews were very positive. I wish I could say our experience with them accurately reflected your 5 star rating. It was anything but. Here’s why:
* An estimate was made and we accepted it from estimator and signed the contract at the end of June, for work to begin on Aug. 1.
* On the Friday before work was to begin, we had heard nothing from Brushworks. No work schedule or crews, no paint bought (this had already been decided), no contact at all. When my wife contacted Brushworks office, a secretary told her she knew nothing about the job and that the estimator was out of town. We called to talk with owner. He knew nothing about our job but said he would have a crew arrive as scheduled on Monday, Aug. 1.
* Crew arrived. No one really seemed to know what was going on. We had to go over paint selections, our plan, etc. Crew began actual work around noon (after a break!).
* Late afternoon on Monday, owner arrived. We quickly realized he was very upset. He told us the bid was outrageous and that he couldn’t do the job for anywhere near the bid. He was incensed and, we thought, condescending to us. First day of painting was done and painters did a good, not great, job. My wife and I felt very uncomfortable and unhappy with the owner but felt it might be OK to finish second day of work, when upstairs work would be completed. Of the two crews we worked with (the second day crew was mostly different), only one man seemed to really know what he was doing. His name was Joe and he was very professional.
* At the end of second day, the owner and we decided to part ways. We couldn’t imagine continuing to work with him until the job was completed. We can NEVER imagine ever working with Brushworks again or recommending them. We have even wondered whether the entire process was a ploy to underbid a job, with us not realizing this, then a crew starting the job, and, with the client not wanting to stop progress, the client relents and goes forward, paying thousands more in the process. Was the old «bait and switch» gambit in play here? We’ll never know and we suspect Brushworks’ owner would deny this ever happens. All we can finally say is «Let the buyer beware» before hiring Brushworks to do ANY job.
*!Full disclosure: We hired BAYWOOD PAINTING of Los Osos, CA to complete our project. Please read my review of this company. Robert Huttle, San Luis Obispo.

Brushworks refinished some cabinets and changed from a light to a dark stain. The job turned out good but not great. In fairness to the guy doing the work he got stuck with 18 year old sun-​bleached cabinets and a big color change. The wood reacted poorly on some parts and the stain came out with some inconsistent areas. I think he did a good job for what he did but the wood was not his friend.
While not five stars I would recommend to my friends. Everyone from the company was professional and they tried but not everything is under their control.

Mike Bailey and his crew were unbelievably efficient, kind, and respectful when painting my home’s exterior. They did it in 3 days! Hard to believe, but the house looks incredible and we couldn’t be happier. We just can’t stop looking at our «new» house.

My husband and I had The Brushworks do extensive interior painting on our newly purchased home in Los Osos. This entailed a large amount of prep work — including our wood beamed cathedral ceiling in the living room. It is a tall order to sand and seal brown wood ceilings so they can be painted a pure white. They came out gorgeous, as did the rest of the painting in bedrooms, hall, dining room, living room. They transformed our home from a brown color palette to a soft blue and pure white one. Very happy with the quality of the workmanship, as well as the polite and respectful way they handled all contact with us throughout the project. I would recommend them to others, and would not hesitate to use them again for future projects!
