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!

We had Aurora Painting & Decorating paint my mothers home in Piedmont and we couldnt be happier with how everything turned out. We specifically asked for Martins crew after hearing great things, and they absolutely delivered!Aurora definitely wasnt the lowest bid, but my mom has very high expectations and they were exceeded from beginning to end. Communication was clear the whole way through, the prep work was thorough, and the attention to detail really showed in the finished product. The crew was respectful of her home, kept things clean, and took pride in what they were doing.If youre looking for a painting company that does things the right way and stands behind their work, Aurora is worth it!

The professionalism and expertise of Aurora Painting is unmatched! Amazing painters that have decades of experience and it shows in their flawless work. They are artists! This is the second time they've painted our home, inside and outside ... the preferred painters of The Uplands Claremont area! If you want an amazing paint job, go with Aurora ... you will not be sorry.
Aurora Painting and Decorating's reply
Wow, thank you so much for such a glowing review Lauren! Hearing you call our team artists' is the highest compliment we could hope for. We absolutely love working in The Uplands and it was a true honor to be invited back to paint your home for the second time. Thank you for trusting Aurora Painting with your beautiful home!

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.
