James A Pugliese Painting

Several years later and we have used Pugliese Painting for several projects. James and Lisa are great to work with as is their courteous and talented team. The quality of work is consistently amazing. Fast, accurate and always on or below their reasonable estimates. Its been almost three years since they painted the entire exterior of our house and it still looks freshly painted. They stained our deck and brought it back to life as well. Both project were done quickly and comprehensively with an eye for detail — especially with minor patching and fixing problems prior to painting. We recently had interior wall painting done, and not only does it look amazing, they patched and painting several rooms in record time and under budget. I cannot imagine a scenario where I wouldn’t call them immediately for any painting work needed. The quality has stood the test of time.

Fast forward not even 3 years. The paint is peeling in a number of locations, and not just on the siding. We had bubbles within 6 months. After paying EXTRA for special paint (we live in a coastal community), we think that we got ripped off.
Buyer beware.

Amazing attention to detail and prep. Affordable price. Quality job. They work clean too. The house looks 1000% better than it did. I will continue to use Pugliese for all my professional painting needs.

James and his crew painted our two story house a few weeks ago and it now looks beautiful. Lisa called me back the same day I called. She came the next day and was very helpful in giving me the addresses of other houses that they had recently painted in the color I wanted. They were flexible about the brand of paint and were the lowest estimate. I knew the quality of their work as they painted my neighbors house and two of my friend’s houses. James and the guys worked quickly and long hours. From start to finish, it was two 11 hour days. They cleaned up after themselves and protected the plants, decks, and windows. I wanted to use a local company and I’m really glad I did.

I had a great experience with James Pugliese Painting. Lisa promptly returned my voicemail and came out for an estimate the next day which was a Friday. Received the estimate on Sunday. Most responsive and reasonable of all the estimates I received. They were able to start work the following Wednesday. James and his crew were incredibly thorough and efficient with both the prep and painting and James was there with the crew the whole time. Lisa matched the colors I wanted with their supplier and the house looks great. I highly recommend.

Very nice people, exceptional focus on quality and detail. They finished everything in 3 days, which was surprisingly quick considering the amount of work done. Would definitely recommend!

I hate to update this review with some negativity but feel I should.
Pugliese is still a very good painter but on my second house, it took them from November 6^th to January 2^nd to complete it. True we are not yet residing in the house as it was being renovated and there was much rain… but there was plenty of sunny days too. My initial easy-​going acceptance about them taking longer as they had some rush jobs to do wore out. Communication was difficult and often took days for a text or call back. When they first «completed the house» I found numerous areas that were unfinished. I was assured they would be taken care of (and eventually they were). But… it took several return visits which simply made it a time consuming effort on my part to make myself available and reiterate the problems not addressed. And again, the difficulty with getting in touch and return phone calls.
They are nice people and good painters — but they kind of dropped the ball on our second home. Although they came through in the end, I feel it important to convey these problems and to knock off a start from the stellar rating I had given them.
Its a shame as I intended to hire them to do the interior of the new home but changed my mind after these experiences.
Now I can only hope for follow-​up should their paint degrade within the warranty since they painted in such damp conditions. As I’ve done before, I will not hesitate to pursue legally should they fail in this regard.

Amazing work. They came out to paint the exterior of our home recently and I was very impressed with how detailed they were in the caulking and prep work — and then added up to 4 layers paint in some areas that needed it. They worked fast and efficiently. They weren’t our lowest bid, but the quality of their work makes it so worth it. Our house looks and feels like new.

We didn’t work with James Pugliese painting this time but I had to give a credit for Lisa for explaining detail what we can expect from their team. They sent the proposal on time and answered my questions. Thank you.

My husband and I highly recommend James A Pugliese Painting. They are an incredible team, extremely detail and quality oriented, and we could not be happier with our experience. Lisa was not only quick to respond to my initial phone call, but came over to give an estimate the day I called. Both Lisa and James were a pleasure to work with. They took care with every detail from prep to painting, offering excellent options regarding details we hadn’t even thought of. Regarding the paint color, we saw a house in Pacifica that we loved the color of… they went to the house and matched the color exactly. They even contacted the builder of the house to make sure they were correct in their match– they were. The results far exceeded our expectations! Our house looks AMAZING. We will definitely be calling them next time we need painting done and recommend them to all our friends. Couldn’t be happier.

I love this company. They are good at what they do, fairly priced, honest and reliable. Lisa is great and went out of her way to accomodate my schedule and budget. You will not be disappointed by patronizing this business!

Check out all the one-​star ratings. All of us had the same experience, no follow through, especially if there’s a problem. Extremely unprofessional. I liked working with these people. So when they walked off with my floor fan, which they used to dry the walls, I assumed it was a mistake. I still do. But when I called to ask them to return it I got no reply. None. I call, I text. A lot. No reply. It has been 9 months now. So disappointing.

Another great job! James and his team painted the interior of our home four years ago and this week, completed our exterior. I foolishly got bids from other major paint companies that were way too high and the completion time estimate was 5 days. The Pugliese team completed the job in less than two days, with the addition of power washing our fence and sealing our concrete patio. Their attention to detail goes above and beyond. They did such a great job on our house, our neighbor immediately booked them to paint hers. No need to waste your time looking for any other company to do the job. Professional, honest and dependable.

My wife and I recently had our house painted by James and his crew and could not be happier with the results and the experience. Lisa was a pleasure to work with as she helped us pick out paint combinations and painted out several samples before moving forward with the project. From the prep work to the actual painting, they were incredibly thorough. James paid great attention to every detail and even surprised us with extra touches that weren’t even included in the estimate!
Since we purchased our house almost a year ago, we’ve been getting all kinds of work done, working with many different businesses/​service providers. This is one of the rare experiences where our expectations have been exceeded. I give my highest recommendation to James and Lisa and would be happy to speak with their prospective clients about my experience.

James and the entire staff were awesome. We highly recommend them. Our house looks great and James went the extra mile to make sure that everything was perfect. From start to finish they were kind and professional. Five stars all the way

I can’t thank Lisa enough for her patience in rolling out color after color to help me make a final decision. And James’ extra work caulking the eaves of my house was over and above what was expected. The finished job is perfect, just what I wanted.
James and Lisa are a pleasure to work with. They are professional and provide quality work. I highly recommend Pugliese Painting.

I highly recommend James A Pugliese Painting. They painted the interior of my new condo and it is flawless. They take pride in their work and really focused on the details. Lisa was quick to respond by phone or email to me and I’m so happy with the work that was done.

First, let me say they are good people. And their work is good. They painted my neighbor’s home. It was so good, I asked for an estimate for my house. Jame’s wife called and I called her back. That was it for a week. At the end of working on the neighbor’s house, James review my house and was to give me an estimate. That was two months ago. I gave him my cellphone number twice and his wife has my number. Where’s the follow up? Where is the estimate? I can pay in cash and I am still waiting.

I can’t believe how great our house looks, thanks to the excellent work of James and his crew. They managed to be both meticulous and speedy, beginning with a thorough powerwash and ending with careful trim work. James works right along with his team, and they are like a well-​oiled machine! Our house looks like new, and I highly recommend him.
We found him through a friend whose home he had painted, and then followed up by checking Unilocal reviews. In fact, I was so impressed that I joined Unilocal just so that I could give him a shout-​out.
Thanks, James, for a job well done!

James and his crew did a great job in transforming the exterior of our house from something with potential to a true gem. Excellent turn around and prep. They started prepping on a thursday with powerwashing, then friday sealed, primed and painted the first coat, and were done mid-​afternoon on saturday. James really loves to paint, he’s very passionate about what he does and puts extreme care into the little details so the overall effect is truly outstanding! His fingers were completely stuck together from caulking each of the individual seams on our Doelger home (a lot of wood siding detail).
I highly recommend using his services if you want your house done right the first time in an expediant manner.
Thanks again James, you and Lisa are truly a wonderful team!
