Moises, Mario, and Mariah did an outstanding job with excellent prep work on all surfaces and thorough attention to detail. Our home looks like a brand new house.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you for an excellent job El Gato Painting.

I have a 15-year-old house that needed freshening up, covering exterior stucco wall repair and repaint, wood sidings staining and metal stair railings refinishing and coating/painting.  Given many fine cracks on the stucco, Ken, the owner, consulted his Benjamin Moore rep for the best options to repair these cracks.   El Gato's bid came detailed and very reasonable.

The crew followed a 21-step preparation method with power washing, caulking and more.  They were punctual, polite, and incredibly good at what they do.  They treated my home with care, and the result is stunning.

My husband and I are incredibly pleased with the quality of the work and would use them again without hesitation.  Thank you, Moises, Mario, Marlon, and Juan (plus Ken, Jesus and Johnny).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. El Gato Painting did a great job on my exterior painting project. Ken was very responsive from initial estimate till the schedule was committed and he accommodated multiple small tweaks. Foreman Alberto led a team onsite. Alberto personally took on some of the most challenging pieces of the work to ensure they're done right, his leadership, his attention to details, and his customer-first attitude made the entire onsite engagement enjoyable and worry-free! Thanks very much Alberto and team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Preparation and painting went smoothly and well.  We have no complaints and would recommend them to friends and family.
One thing that stood out was how they handled masking of our windows.  They we only masked for the time required then promptly unmasked.

They were not the cheapest bid, but neither were they the highest.  I think I received good value.

From start to finish the El Gato Painting staff communicated well (Ken & Johnny) and did a great job with attention to detail (Jose, Alberto, Jesus and the rest of the crew). My house was painted in a timely manner with an amazing result. Many neighbors have complimented the paint job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gustavo, Jorge, and the rest of the crew were super patient and friendly. They really paid attention to details and gave helpful feedback when they felt I could have make a better choice, but also gave me time to think things over. The whole El Gato team was easy to talk to from the start—they kept everything clear, transparent, and made the whole project process smooth and simple. Overall, it was a great experience working with them!
