IDC Painting, Inc.

We used these guys to paint several rooms in our recently purchased condo. Initial meeting was great Julio took pictures, and said he’d get back to me with an estimate. He did it was in the middle, price wise, seemed professional and detailed. I asked for the walls to be primed b/​c the previous owners smoked. They were pretty busy and needed to schedule me a month out to start, I asked if they could give us one day to paint the LR and DR before we moved in, julio said yes gave us a Saturday and arrived. They arrived on time, but without paint not a huge deal as there were 3 guys, and 2 could prep the walls before painting while the other guy bought the paint. We had specific colors so I understand not wanting to buy custom paint if something happens on the first day. Problem #1 NO PRIMER (I watched the guys work and noticed I didn’t see the walls primed first, I asked the guy in charge he told me it mixed in, I’m not a painter, I just tell him Julio quoted me a job where the walls would be patched, primed, sanded, then painted.) I take a picture of the label and go to the Sherwin Williams to enquire about the type of paint, sure enough it was just paint! I had to have them come back and repaint all there areas because the previous multicolored walls were coming through. I’m not sure if this is just standard practice, I had to have them come back just to clean up paint from the floor, a fan, doors, and a lamp. They used my SW paint sample when they ran out of paint in the bonus room, which required the entire room to be repainted because the samples only come in Satin and the room was a matte finish. Very disappointed.

We have a craftsman home in Long Beach that hadn’t been painted in over 30 years. The paint was peeling, and some wood needed to be replaced. IDC Painting not only gave us an estimate that was $ 1000 lower than any other contractor’s, but they also treated us respectfully and didn’t try to up sell us. We were nervous about hiring a contractor because we had heard so many horror stories, but IDC Painting really took care of us.
It took them a week to do the whole job, sanding, caulking, priming, the works. Their workers were very professional and cleaned up after themselves each day. They answered all our questions and listened to our requests.
It’s been a year since they painted our house, and it still looks great!
