Aurora Painting and Decorating did a fantastic job painting the full interior of my home in Piedmont, including our kitchen cabinets and they look better than new. The attention to detail and overall professionalism from Jose and his crew really stood out. Everything was perfect and finished better than we could have imagined. Id absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for the best interior painters!

I had a great experience working with Carlo and his painting company. The communication was clear, the scheduling was smooth, and the crew showed real professionalism from start to finish. Everything was completed on time, cleaned up properly, and the quality of the work turned out excellent.What stood out to me is that this isnt your typical old-school painting experience. There was no hassle, no confusion, and no runaround. Carlo keeps things simple, organized, and straightforwardsomething you dont always get in this industry. His company is truly an improved and modern version of what painting services should be.Carlo made sure every detail was handled the right way and checked in throughout the job to ensure everything met expectations. His team was respectful, efficient, and easy to work with from beginning to end.I highly recommend Carlo and Aurora Painting & Decorating to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality painting work and a stress-free experience. I would absolutely use them again.

I recently hired Aurora Painting for a full home interior painting project. Carlo and his crew did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish! The team transformed every room--living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and even the hallways with impeccable precision and care. The walls look stunning, with smooth, even coats and no imperfections whatsoever. It feels like I'm living in a brand-new space!What made the experience even better was their color consultant, who is truly the best in the business. She listened to my vision, offered recommendations on shades that enhanced the natural light and flow of my home, and provided multiple samples to ensure everything was perfect. Her guidance turned the whole process into a seamless and enjoyable project and took a lot of the stress off my shoulders.If you're considering any painting work, I can't recommend Aurora Painting enough. They're professional, timely. They're not the cheapest by any means but you get what you pay for.

We recently hired Carlo to paint our parents house, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The home needed quite a bit of prep and detailed work, and Carlo and his team handled it all with great care and professionalism.One of the standout aspects of working with Carlo was his full-service approach. He guided us through the entire process, including a very helpful color consultation. Choosing the right colors can be overwhelming, but Carlo made it easyand even provided visual renderings so we could see what the house would look like beforehand. None of the other painting contractors we spoke with offered that, and it made a huge difference in our confidence and final decision.Throughout the project, Carlo communicated in a timely and transparent manner. He and his crew were respectful of the home, clean, punctual, and extremely professional. The quality of the work speaks for itselfwe couldnt be happier with the final result.We would absolutely recommend Carlo to our friends and family and will gladly hire him again for any future painting needs. A+ service all around!

We were wowed by the crew at Aurora painting and Decorating. Got their name from a trusted local interior designer to paint the exterior/interior of our entire home. Carlo provided a quick & thorough estimate, and the painting crew was completely professional. Work was performed on time and on budget. They were even patient with me as I agonized over paint colors. Very happy with the results!
