Kim Brothers Painting

Absolutely stellar service! Beautifully painted! Hard workers! And such reasonable prices! Thank you Chae, and your crew member Victor! I am very pleased with my bathroom, living room, popcorn ceiling removal, kitchen cabinets, all of it! Thank you!

Great experience with this company, very happy with their painting crew (William being my main contact), and the work completed.
It was time to refresh and repaint the interior of my condo, while fixing minor cracks/​damaged wall corners, and repair pealing paint in the bathroom.
When searching for a painting company, collected 6 different quotes, all for the exact same scope of work, however all quotes varied greatly in price. Kim Brothers was one of two of the most competitive bids, they were upfront about their available dates (whereas some of the other companies gave rather open ended start dates), and were able to place me on their schedule very quickly.
The last time my condo was painted was about 10 years ago, and the previous painter did a less than mediocre job when correcting nail holes and surface damage. Not the case this time around! William (the foreman) took the time to ensure the job was done correctly, matching wall repairs to the existing textured wall surface, even going as far to point out and correct the previous painters’ mistakes. Very happy with William’s workmanship and overall hard work!
Again, great experience, both with the pricing and scheduling aspects, but most importantly with William’s work and attention to detail.

Kim Bros are absolute professionals! I called them for an estimate on a Wednesday. They came out the next day and were the lowest of my three bids. They started work the following Monday and said it would take 3 days. They finished Wednesday at noon. I have used many painters over the last few years as I have remodeled a dozen houses. Carlos, their lead painter was is probably the most skilled painter I have found. Two of the bathrooms on this job had full mirrors on 2 walls which were removed leaving a lot of adhesive and rips in the drywall paper. The other two walls of both bathrooms had wallpaper they had to scape off. When the job was finished it looked like new construction. The texturing was done perfectly!
Not only was Carlos one of the best painters I have ever used the office staff was very professional as well. The even called the second day to say Carlos would be 30 minutes late because he had to pick up a part for the compressor.
Bottom line if you want the best quality job at the lowest price and want the entire job to be done professionally, and finished on time call Kim Bros. as they are the best!

We hired Kim Brothers based on the reviews and fair estimate given. Unfortunately our experience was not the same as everyone else. Based on the work that was done it doesn’t even sound like the same company, but they are. We had two men working on our site. The foreman, a man in his 70’s and his one worker. They both did the work. We had ceilings scraped, skim coated and painted as well as walls and trims painted. This was in a large meeting room with a vaulted ceiling and dark beams that needed staining. After 8 days of painting, (which was over the projected time) the walls have a blotchy appearance with occasional dried up dripped paint. The trim have wall color overlapped on them. Some edges at the ceiling did not show clean lines. Paint drips on the windows. Brush marks on trim like another coat was needed. When they were prepping to be finished we noticed that after the ceilings were done there were unsightly gaps between the skimmed ceilings and the beams. Apparently they were prepared to leave it this way. They said the popcorn hid the flaws. That may be true, but why would you leave a job like that without consulting with the client? We called the estimator Shawn to come look at these flaws and asked that they be rectified. Shawn accommodated but said he needed to charge us more to fix the ceiling issue as it required extra work. We were not happy but at this point wanted it to be done. They addressed some of the other problems we pointed out to them but at the end many were still apparent. In order to fix many of the issues I would say someone else needed to do the job. These two, though nice individuals had no attention to detail. They did not cleanup as other professionals do. In fact the foreman told us to just spray the outside with a hose and the concrete should be clean. After the job we let them know our displeasure and they offered to send them back out again… appreciated it, but I don’t think that would have made any difference. If you’re looking for professionalism, quality detailed work, I’m not sure these are your guys.

I had a great experience with this company and everyone that works there. They are total pros. Even months before the job (a Malibu condo), Chae Kim was incredibly helpful.
The job was professionally done and the price was fair. I highly recommend them!
Also, William, the person in charge of the job, was 100% hard working, professional, courteous and really wanted to make sure the client (me) was completely satisfied with the work.
Shirly, on the phone, was super nice and helpful as well.

Great company with excellent painters. on time, very neat and meticulous.

The place here is just an office. So nothing special. What really counts is the work that they do when they come over to your home or business.
I have seen some of there work that they have done.
It was alright i just never had them do it on my home. but i have seen what they have done to other business that they painted and it was good.

Can’t say enough good things about Kim Bros.
I am a home owner, when I review home repair services i consider they get 5 stars in each category:
1– Fair Cost
2– Integrity (ie: bid matched final invoice no bait & switch or upsell tactics)
3– Timely Responses and Scheduling
4-​Clean up and site management
5-​Courteousness
It seems like a lot of reviews for home repair don’t include any idea whether the price was a fair one. I shop every repair or remodel job i do out to at least 3 vendors. — I know they say never go with the lowest but with Kim Bros they always happened to be THE lowest bid.
Why do I go with them?
I like the estimator, Chae. He listens, writes a thorough bid with each line item and a normal home repair contract is issued, they are a real legit contractor, not one of these one dude painting outfits. He always sticks with his original bid, I never get part way done and get a call saying oh its taking longer because of X so the final amount will be higher.
— (I have had them paint several things, including my interior which has double tall cathedral ceilings — and recently-(finishing up today actually– my 2000 square foot partial second story home built 1920 entire exterior in 2 colors for under $ 3,000! paint included.)
For example:
— One painter (who had 5 stars on Unilocal) quoted me $ 20,000 and said it would take him a month to paint it after he started which couldn’t be for about 8 weeks!!! — Some times I feel like an estimator comes in, sees my home in the pricey neighborhood, and notices I am a young single female, and they bid some crazy amount and tell me some BS just hoping I am dumb enough to give them the work — Chae never ever does that, my house could have been in Raseda and he would bid the same.
Once I accepted the exterior bid the Kim Bros crew came right out to start even though I was out of town. They got on it immediately. Same crew every day, they worked for four and a half days — even one Saturday to get it done quick and get out of my hair.
Super polite Mr Sun was the lead painter on my crew. Very Very courteous. Put up with our lack of parking, tidied up the site daily, patched everything well, sanded, and made sure all of my windows were working — not painted shut before the job was over he walked around the building with me to get my approval, and I could see his pride in work twinkling in his eye. –During the job I never even saw Mr. Sun take a break to eat.
So please give Kim Bros the chance to estimate your job. They are terrific. If you are elderly, or single and tired of feeling ripped off or treated poorly call Kim Bros. If you are a family saving money and want good value for a good job done while feeling secure about who is working on your property, call Kim Bros. If you are selling a home and been advised to paint it for curb appeal, call Kim Bros. If you live in a fancy house and are tired of teh highway robbery that happens when an estimator sees your address and figures you have deep pockets: CALL KIM BROS.
Also I like to support the small family owned businesses, they have been doing this for 30 years and deserve 30 more if they are up to it.
Love the Kims, my wallet would surely be lighter with out them.
