Wilmer and his crew did an amazing job on the interior of our newly purchased home, and my wife and I could not be happier. Wilmar was very fast to respond to our request for an estimate, and of the 4 different painters we spoke with, he was the only one on time. He explained the process in detail, which included covering some very dark accent walls, and even painted our front door as a complimentary part of the service. We had a limited time to complete the project, and Wilmar took his time but was ahead of schedule for our move-in. Thank you, Wilmar and his team. We will definitely call you for our next project.

We had an excellent experience working with Wilmar’s Painting on a full exterior restoration and painting project for our 1920s home. The job included extensive prep, exterior wood replacement, repairs, and new window trim, and Wilmar’s team did beautiful work from start to finish.
Wilmar was communicative, honest, and very easy to work with. He also really went above and beyond when we realized the green paint color we originally chose was too bright once it was on the house. He helped us pivot quickly, worked with Benjamin Moore to create a custom-mixed color, and ensured we ended up with a shade we loved. He was also very fair with pricing and helped keep the change affordable.
His crew was respectful of our property, worked extremely hard, and even put in late evenings and weekend time to keep the project moving. The finished result is gorgeous, and our house is such a standout on the street.
We are so grateful for Wilmar and his team and would absolutely hire them again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality exterior painting, repairs, and trim work at a fair price.

I hired Wilmar and his team to repaint the exterior of my house and can't recommend them highly enough. The house looks great and he and his team were professional at every step in the process. It was obvious that they not only care about doing quality work, but also that it is done correctly (i.e. fixing rotten wood before painting it, using high quality paint and products, etc.), which I really respect. He was a bit more expensive than some of the other quotes I received, but I can't stress enough that it was worth every penny. From start to finish Wilmar was great to work with and I will be hiring him and his team again for anything I need.
Looking for more details? Here are all the things I appreciated:
- Great communication, from quote throughout the process, including some touch-ups (where I accidentally made a mess of the paint) I could rely on him promptly responding
- Walked me around the property at the assessment and walked me through specifics of the process i.e., areas where wood and glazing would be replaced, what types of paint he would recommend, what products and brands he would use, etc.
- Thorough quote which aligned to everything he walked me through
- Great team who were respectful of my property and cleaned up after themselves EVERY DAY. I can't stress how much I appreciated this, having had other workmen and teams either leave the area a mess for me to clean up, or damage other parts of my property. Wilmar and team never did this!
- Thorough prep, quality products and final product.
- I had one issue with the stair paint peeling up after it rained and Wilmar did not hesitate to come out and make it right (and even fix a spot on my drive way that I'd messed up.... stepped through caulk and tracked it around)
The house looks great. I'm thrilled I found Wilmar and team, they will be my go to painters from this point on. I highly recommend him and his team.
Details: Home • One story • Entire building • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Stucco • I’d like the professional to provide the paint

Wilmar and his team did an amazing job. We were able to get our entire bedroom done in a single day. I would have done it myself, but due to our tall ceilings, we wanted to make sure it was actually done well and I am very pleased with the result.
Details: Home • 2 rooms • Walls • Trim • Ceiling • Doors • Window frames • 10 - 14 feet (high ceiling) • Repainting, with a color change • Fair - minor holes and scratches • Homeowner or property manager • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself

I hired Wilmar's Painting to paint the exterior of my 1925 stucco house. His bid was not the lowest or the highest I received, but it was the most thorough and detailed, so I expected that the same attention to detail would be reflected in the work. Wilmar also has an associate who replaced my old rotting deck with a beautiful new redwood deck. Through every step, Wilmar and his crew worked with knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend him for your next project.
Details: Home • One story • Entire building • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Stucco • I will buy the paint myself • Peeling or flaking paint • Cracks • Trim pulling away from house • Chipped stucco
