Mendez Painting

I have used Mendez Painting multiple times in the past 10 years (myself, and for about a dozen of my real estate clients), and felt compelled to urge the masses to avoid all other painters in favor of them.

There is no other painter as far as I'm concerned. I refer them to clients with confidence, and after a bad experience with a painter last summer (who was used because a general contractor brought them in), I will NEVER EVER use anyone but Mendez.

THE QUOTE
Mr. Mendez arrives at the appointment time, on time, and takes down the requirements of the job. The quote is typically received the next day by email - in many cases it has come by the end of the SAME DAY. All quotes I've received have included the paint (they work with Benjamin Moore).

THE WORK ITSELF
For my latest job, they told me they need a 2-business-day lead time to schedule the actual painting. I gave them more notice than that, but within about 4 days, I called to see if we could move up the start day and they responded quickly and were able to do it!

The painters arrive at 8AM (as scheduled). On the second day, they were EARLY and waiting in their truck to come in (I know this because I saw them while walking my dogs at 7:30).

The real magic is in the prep. They meticulously tarp EVERYTHING (furniture, kitchen cabinets, personal items, etc.). They examine the walls, looking for even the slightest anomalies, and use putty as needed to fix the walls. Then they sand all the walls so they're as smooth as possible. In another job I did with them, they spent the entire first day ONLY prepping. They also carefully took down window treatments, covered them, and put them back up when they were done. For the record - I didn't give them ANY instructions for the job. This is just typical pride-of-great-work kind of stuff.

The painting itself is clean and smooth (and quick!). All those "hard to reach" places are also painted without having to bug them about it. For instance, I caught one painter BEHIND my refrigerator painting baseboards (that no one will ever see).

At the end, they spent hours going over every inch of the job and making sure nothing was missed. And then they spend as much time as necessary cleaning up and leaving my place as clean as possible. I know from talking to Mr. Mendez that they pride themselves on a clean job with little to no splatter/mess.

THE PRICE
For the ultra-professional job that they do, it's a bargain. I've had clients get quotes from inferior painters that were actually 1.5-2x as much.
