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!

I recently hired Aurora Painting and Decorating for an exterior Paint on my home, and Im really glad I did. Carlo and his team were professional from start to finish they showed up on time, and the paint job turned out better than I imagined The color consultation was amazing too it made all the difference in the final look, and the shades they helped me land on have held up great through some rainy weather already. No major issues, just solid work thats worth the investment. Would definitely recommend them if youre in the Bay Area!

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!

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 met with a few painters and felt Carlo was the most honest about waiting because we still had some time before needing to paint. We appreciated the honesty and his expertise. Well definitely be calling him when the time comes.
