Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They were very helpful in helping me choose the colors, which was something I wasn’t expecting. They also did a faux marble finish on our fireplace— we get compliments on that every time anybody sees it. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Thomas Mulliken Painting Contractor
“They do excellent work. His crew was very neat, and respectful of my home. Even a year later, I am noticing the little extra touches they did— like carefully painting and re-attaching an electrical plate that was always loose. All the little things that most painters skip over.”
