"Recently, Mauricio Rios became owner of SweetGrass Landscaping Solutions LLC. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be among his clients, since we have benefitted from his landscaping skills and professionalism since last January. In January JC Landscaping Solutions installed for us their signature walkways made of rectangular paving stones in two shades of gray. They are gorgeous. But, before they could do that, they had to complete the removal of a huge oak tree in our front yard which was infested with carpenter ants. The company we had hired for the job made a mess of it. They managed to destroy our front sidewalk and some bushes and pull down two power lines. WhenJC Landscaping came to our rescue, the stump was five feet high and a huge portion of the trunk lay on the ground. JC Landscaping, with Mauricio as foreman, finished the job for a very reasonable price in five hours. So, we first saw Mauricio welding an ax and operating a stump grinder. We also found that his English is excellent. The company then installed a new sidewalk after removing tree roots which had caused the old one to buckle. As the result of Mauricio's careful supervision, we now have a sidewalk leading to our front steps which is not only beautiful but LEVEL. Next came a connecting walkway which leads to a wheelchair ramp and curves to 17 stepping stones that lead to a lower garden.This was more challenging. The rectangular pavers are straight. They do not bend. Cutting the pavers and fitting them together to make the walkway CURVE up to the wheelchair rampant then CURVE to the steps required great patience and skill. With Mauricio's supervision this was done successfully and the result is beautiful. JC Landscaping also removed the wheelchair ramp, which had seen better days, and built a new one. After that, Mauricio has supervised the planting of grass, the laying of mulch, weeding, mowing, etc. Growing new grass during the hot summer months was difficult, but, as the result of persistence and cooler Fall temperatures, the new grass is healthy and beautiful. As a finishing touch, Mauricio recently installed a tall spiral wind spinner where the oak tree once stood. It puts on quite a show when there is the slightest bit of wind. Mauricio's new company, SweetGrass Landscaping LLC, will now continue for us the fine work done under Mauricio's supervision by JC Landscaping Solutions We couldn't be more pleased. Joe Kitchen"

"This was my second time hiring Miguel - for a different type of job and he didn't disapoint, in fact he went over and beyond the work request. Will hire him again for another upcoming project!"

"Diego gave helpful advice on a whole house painting(including tin roof and decking). He and his crew spent significant time pressure washing and preparing all surfaces for paint and stain. They came promptly as the weather permitted. He and his crew were meticulous and expert in their painting. They left no mess behind on any day of work. It was fun to see the progress and we feel like we have a new home and deck and are thrilled with it. It was a pleasure to work with Diego and his crew."

"We hired KK Custom Painting again, this time they removed our old siding and installed new Hardi Plank siding. They went over and above what was expected of them. I was very pleased with the job they did. Our house is 3 stories in places and their crew handled it professionally and with ease. I especially liked the fact that they did not cover up rotted areas, they fixed what needed fixing and let us know what they did. They also painted the house and did a fantastic job. I was impressed with the quality of their work. Mr. Ochoa was in communication with us several times a day, every day they were here. I am very glad we chose KK Custom Painting for our large job, they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend this company."

"Very professional and communicative. Where punctual for all scheduled meetings. Discussed the plan to complete my project and completed it within the planned timeframe. They made sure to protect all of my furniture and belongings as they moved throughout the house. Moved all items needed to make way to complete my project and placed everything back just as it was. The quality of work was even better than I expected. Even coating and no drip marks anywhere! I have already recommended them to my parents and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a paint project completed."

Painters usually price a job by the square feet of the project. Sometimes they’ll include flat fees for fixed expenses, like overhead and permits.
We make finding a painter easy. Simple use our directory to find a painter. Here you can browse local pros, check their reviews and do your first screening without ever having to call. We’ve also prescreened all the pros for you, to give you peace of mind.
Interior painting makes for a doable DIY project. You can save some money and get a real sense of accomplishment by doing this yourself. And, with the right prep work – covering, taping and scraping – it’s fairly forgiving. But it takes a lot of time to move furniture, tape trim, prep the surface and cover your floor, let alone apply the actual paint. Instead, save yourself the time and hassle and find a local interior painter.
Leave exterior painting to the pros. Not only do you need to worry about the type and quality of the paint, you’ll also likely need a ladder and considerably more prep work. You’ll likely need additional equipment like ladders, scaffolding and possibly a paint sprayer. It’s almost cheaper to just hire a pro. Talk to a local exterior house painter about your project.
