Gerardo is a complete lifesaver! He came in and restored my cabinets and completely blew my mind away! He is professional and knows what he is doing! I loved his work so much that I hired him to finish out the remaining repairs on my home which consisted of paint, installing closet doors, dumping debris, installing porcelain tile in my master bathroom and light fixtures. I will be using him for future jobs and referring him to others!

I recently hired Gerardo to paint my entire house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of the work is outstanding—every wall, and trim looks perfect. They were professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the entire job. His job in repairing my wall looks amazing as well. The project was completed on time. My home looks brand new! I highly recommend Gerardo GC painting & Decor to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled painter.
Details: Home • 5 rooms • Walls • Trim • Doors • Repainting, with a color change • Excellent - clean and smooth • No, this is not new construction • Yes, I would like the painter to help move things

These guys were tremendous! Came in and got the job done exceptionally well and in good time. We couldn't be happier with the job they did. They were very responsive, friendly, professional and just great painters. We will be using them for future jobs and recommend them to anyone looking for some new paint.

Gerardo was quick to respond after I contacted him for help with fixing another a handyman’s poor work (several sliding door and window frames - painting). He was very kind and empathetic to my concerns. He fixed and completed the project in one day, at a very fair and affordable price (note: the other painter failed to prep correctly or complete the project within weeks, and charged more). He also responded well to feedback, and my perfectionism, with grace and patience.
Finding Gerardo was truly a blessing after going through some very hard times. Before meeting him, I believed all was FUBAR. Now, we have hope and look forward to having him back to adjust other finishes of our home to my high standards. Thank you Gerardo! 🙏🏼
Details: Home • Just touch ups • Window frames • 8 - 10 feet • Repainting - same color • Fair - minor holes and scratches • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself

The cement block and metal panel lawn border had become an eyesore, with blistering and peeling paint with rust starting in spots of the already deteriorating paint job on the panels. To see them now makes me realize how I'd come to accept them. My standards lowered to meet them. But Jr's has turned it all around. A serious professional, but seriously kind and approachable, Gerado got after this job and stuck with it until his high standard of workmanship had been met. I mean, look at it! You will not regret contacting Jr's. In fact, you'll think yourself pretty darn smart!
Details: Home • One story • One part of building • Less than 500 sq ft • Yes, I will supply the paint to the professional • Peeling or flaking paint

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is based on the scope of work, level of preparation, and materials used — not just square footage. Every project is different, so we provide customized estimates instead of one-size-fits-all pricing.
We include proper surface prep, protection of your home, and quality materials to ensure a long-lasting finish. We’re usually not the cheapest option, but our pricing reflects the time and care we put into doing the job right the first time.
There are no hidden fees. We explain what’s included up front and offer options so you can choose what works best for your budget and goals.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a quick conversation to understand your project, timeline, and expectations. From there, we schedule a walkthrough so we can properly evaluate the space and provide an accurate, detailed estimate.
After the walkthrough, we send a clear quote with options so you can choose the level of work that fits your needs and budget. Once approved, we schedule the project and stay in communication leading up to the start date.
On the job, we protect your home, complete proper surface preparation, and apply quality materials with care and attention to detail. After completion, we do a final walk-through to make sure everything meets your expectations.
Our goal is a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our experience comes from hands-on training and years of real-world painting work. I’ve been trained in proper surface preparation, application techniques, and the use of professional-grade materials for both interior and exterior projects.
Over the years, I’ve continued learning through on-the-job experience, manufacturer guidelines, and best practices to stay current with products, finishes, and methods that deliver long-lasting results.
While formal schooling is helpful, painting is a trade where experience, attention to detail, and consistency matter most — and that’s what we bring to every project.
