Efren Fajardo Painting

• Owner Efren, and his worker on my job, Jose, are both very easy to work with: punctual, polite, and respectful. Right from the beginning it was obvious they were not there to just do a reasonable job; they were going to do their very best. • Excellent attention to detail, very thorough but also worked fast, they discovered defective details that needed attention, left by the previous wood replacement crew, such as reporting to me a few missing shingles, and hidden damaged areas. • I already had 2 full cans of mixed paint made that doesn’t match, so I can’t use it. Efren went to the same place to have the paint mixed again. I don’t know what he knows that I don’t, but he came back with paint in the color that matches perfectly. • They even performed work I did not expect to be done, such as thoroughly sweeping away all webs and dust, and thoroughly scraping away all loose and peeling paint, instead of just the most obvious places. They repainted some areas that actually needed it, but were not part of the work to be done, just because the finished job would look a lot better. They even filled certain small defects before painting, which was definitely not included, and I never expected them to take care of. • Jose was cheerful and industrious the entire day. He takes pride in his skillful work, and I would say he is even some kind of an artist. He painted large areas of overhead structure and vertical wood shingles, much of it on a ladder, and much of it directly above concrete. This was usually without a drop cloth, and yet, he got no paint drops on the concrete! At the end of the day his white painter overalls looked pretty much the same as when he started, instead of covered with paint smears that matched my house. • The end result was a beautiful job, far better than I expected. I only wanted a passable appearance, about what I would have done myself. Instead my house looks good as new, it actually looks loved again. • And did I end up paying more for such a fine job, and with all those extras, you may ask? No! They actually charged LESS than the estimate! • in this world of sloppy jobs and cheap shortcuts, this company stands out, providing the most professional and outstanding of work. They are a real find!

I trust Efren 100%. He has painted the interior and exterior at both of my houses. He is extremely conscientious and helpful. He and his guys even fixed things around the house as they painted such as the gate for my picket fence and replacing the rusted wire on my awning. He even politely played interference between me and my difficult neighbor, who was upset at me for painting my house without "enough prior notice"! Efren is also great at picking the right paint colors. I tried three shades of gray none of which worked and he immediately came up with the right one. I would definitely recommend Efren without reservation.

He does quality, high standard work, he is an artist.
