Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
McKinley Painting
“McKinley painted the whole exterior of my home. They were extremely careful with everything, especially the plants outside. We have an older home in Berkeley and he was very aware of how to take care of it. He was the most knowledgeable painting contractor we talked to. His workers didn’t play loud music, smoke, or chat. They just got the job done.”
