1730408209

Very pleased with our experience with J Brown Painting. Our home needed a touch up to the exterior and Justin’s crew did an excellent job.Communication with Justin was great - I was always well informed throughout the entire process. The crew arrived on time for the job and were very attentive and friendly to work with. The work was done clean and perfectly matched to the existing paint scheme. I appreciate the thorough prep work done prior to painting and the crew even addressed a couple of areas that needed small stucco repair before painting.Home maintenance projects can be stressful, but the entire process with Justin and his team was smooth and easy.

1730348733

Justin and his team helped us with painting our baseboards, door frames, and doors throughout the house. From the start Justin was great to work with. He was thorough with explaining the process and was able to fit us in the schedule to meet our tight deadline (our daughter’s birthday first birthday party). He stayed in touch throughout the entire process making sure we understood each next step. Justin’s painting team was wonderful. The painters, Gato, Svytlana, and her daughter were professional, timely, and paid extra attention to detail with the job. They went above and beyond to make sure things were done to our liking. We are very happy with the finished job and are also happy with the reasonable cost compared to other painters we contacted. We would easily choose to use J Brown painting again for future paint jobs.

1730345665

1730311085

I highly recommend J Brown Painting and will hire them again for future painting projects. They painted the interior walls, ceiling, trim and molding in my house. Everything was done professionally with attention to my desires. Justing was always available and checked in throughout the project. His team was always professional and very efficient. This crew worked diligently and finished the job in less time than I expected. I am very happy with all aspects of working with J Brown Painting.

1730251768

Justin’s crew did a great job on the drywall repair and repainting that I needed. His pricing was great and I’m very happy with the job.

1730248849

Made the process of getting the exterior of a house painted easy. The painters were efficient and detailed oriented. Would recommend.

1729725682

We were really pleased with our exterior paint job with J. Brown. Work started and finished on time, we had great communication with the team, the area was carefully masked, detailed care was given to our extensive stucco damage, any concerns were addressed professionally along the way, and there were no surprise expenses on the final invoice. We’ve gotten compliments on how nice our paint looks. One of the best contractor experiences we’ve had!

Veronica Aguirre

1729225239

Thank you to the entire team! The painting turned out great and the crew was wonderful - very courteous and polite. Our backyard looks even better than when we first moved in and the house feels totally refreshed. Thank you!

1729136634

Justin and his team were a pleasure to work with. They put care into their work, and I really appreciated their attention to detail. I would definitely use them again and would refer them to anyone thinking of painting their property.

1729128798

While we ultimately went with a different group for niche reasons, I still give these guys 5 stars because Justin was SO helpful in our process. He was the quickest to reply to questions and helped me make the final decision that was right for us. I highly recommend!

Great experience from initial estimate to finished job. Larger exterior painting house job . Painters especially wonderful to work with ...skilled ....pleasant ....clean.... worked every day 8 am to 6:30 pm. Every morning Hector would go over any concerns we had and address them Nothing too small. Minor repairs done. Even "extras" like removing stuck on plants and painting a replacement water heater door . Cannot believe how nice house looks!! Planning on using again in future

Justin and his team were great to work with. They were super communicative and helpful in getting our exterior paint job on our house done. The work was carefully, cleanly, and beautifully done. They were also super well priced compared to other bids we got. Victor and Gato who were in charge of our project were fantastic, as well as super kind. Not to mention they finished our project early!

1728595771

Our kitchen turned out even better than we expected. Our kitchen cabinets look brand new. The staff was very polite and helpful.

1728004314

Our house needed a lot of scraping and sanding of old peeling paint. J Brown Painting did a thorough job preparing the house and then a great job painting.

Elsie Arredondo

1727478070

J Brown Painting was the BEST! Not only was everyone professional and friendly, they were also fast and competitively priced. The quality of the work was very impressive. Highly recommend this team.

We had a great experience with J Brown. The painters are considerate and do a great job. We will definitely be hiring them again for our next projects.

1725496163

Very professional, on time, good work,

1725080883

Justin's team painted the exterior of our house over 4 workdays and did a great job. The entire team was very easy to work with and kept us informed of their progress each day. Everything spelled out in the contract (power washing, taping, sealing the base of our concrete slab, using the proper paint types for different surfaces, and even helping us reinstall some shutters) was accomplished exactly as promised with no problems at all. Thank you J Brown Painting!

1724775504

Justin was very unprofessional and discourteous after I complained about the painting job.He said he was stressed and busy, and had another job to start the following day, they tried to rush this job in 2 days and made a mess of of it, it’s not my fault he overbooked his workers.I am very unhappy with this company and he doesn’t have the decency to call/text or come back to our home to see for himself why I am not happy.Follow up:Justin did call me (apparently, he had blocked my # due to a family trip and didn't want to be disturbed, which I think is admirable). However, Justin said they returned on 3 occasions. They did not return 3 times to correct this job. They worked the 3 days as per the contract and Lucas came once to correct. The walls after the correction are my issue with them and you can see from the pictures that they are not up to a company that say they pride themselves on their work.

Gabriela Muller

Justin and his crew painted the exterior of my house recently. I was impressed with the meticulous prep work they did (stucco repair, facia repair, power washing, sanding some areas, taping etc.). Everyone was professional and very friendly, and they all took care to limit the impact on my cats and dog. I was especially grateful for that. They were also very careful with my plants. The paint job turned out amazing. My house looks so different and new now! Looking at it makes me happy. It was a big job and they did it in a timely manner. Overall just a great experience!

1723931110

Great job of painting the outside of our home. Stucco was repaired in many places we didn't know needed it! The crew even watered plants when they were finished. Everything so fresh and clean. Thank you so much.

Nicholas Gleason

1723600672

J. Brown did an excellent job painting my home. The crew was kind and professional, and they didn’t need my attention very much, so it was easy to work inside while the job was being done. The only complaint I would have is that some of my plants got damaged, not from paint, but seemingly from the weight of the plastic used to cover them. I don’t think they’re dead or anything, and I’m hoping a good pruning will bring them back to good health. Overall, this company is fantastic, and I would recommend them to anyone!

1722641036

Justin, Viktor, Chilo, and the rest of our team were fantastic. They were on time, professional, and polite. The painting quality is of course very good, and we highly recommend them.

After a re-stucco, needed eaves, fascia and siding painted. Found Justin on-line after calling for estimates from 2 other contractors, and haven't regretted it. First, he showed up and at the scheduled time for the estimate - something you'd think would be a given, but unfortunately wasn't true with the other prminantly advertised companies. Set a project start date and the crew was prompt, capable and professional. I'm a day sleeper, so their being relatively quiet (after the power washing) was an added bonus. Color matched our Andersen winows perfectly. No drips or splatters, all areas fully covered and clean up was thourough at job's end. Heartily recommended.
