Alex Davison Painting

Alex and his crew are the BEST! We researched and got bids from four local SF painters before we took the plunge and picked Davison Painting for our exterior paint job. We are out of town landlords and needed to pick someone that we trusted and would be communicative — Alex exceeded our expectations. He kept us in the loop throughout the whole process, sent photo updates, and made helpful suggestions as they went. Ours was a big job (old paint removal, multi-​story home, and coordinating with other construction workers) and they did an amazing job. The final product is beautiful. Although his bid was not the cheapest, the quality and thoroughness is un-​matched, and I have great confidence in their work. On top of that, Alex is an extremely kind person, a pleasure to do work with. We will definitely be hiring them for any future painting needs.

Alex has helped me with a number of interior paint jobs and consistently impresses me. He and his crew do an amazing job with the actual repairing, prepping and painting and he is also incredibly helpful with color selection and figuring out where to put the accents. He alway explains how the light in the room is going to affect the color and has guided me in making the right decision. The services he provides are a great value. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I initially contacted Alex to paint the interior of my apartment in 2012. His team did an excellent job and his rate was very competitive. Since then I’ve hired Alex on several occasions for smaller jobs and was always very happy with the outcome. He is very responsive, punctual, professional and clean. I have recommended Alex and his team to several of my friends and all of them were very happy with the results. I highly recommend working with Alex.

I do not usually write reviews, but Alex is a great painting contractor and a great guy who really deserves one! I am on a tight budget and doing a lot of the remodeling of my home myself — but I have learned that I can depend on Alex to be there when I need him most. He is honest, flexible, professional, dependable and — most importantly — his product is top notch.

I needed to paint the exterior of my home and found Alex Davison Painting online based on the fabulous Unilocal reviews. I called Alex and arranged a time for him to provide an estimate. Alex arrived at my house and informed me that I would have an estimate with a day or two. After about 3 to 4 weeks and several phone calls (even speaking with Alex on multiple occasions) and texts to inquire about the status of obtaining a quote. I had still not received one. I can’t fathom how this company stays in business or how they can meet an deliverable or deadline.
I would stay away from Alex and all his false promises unless you don’t value your time and feel like chasing someone to perform their job.
I gave them 1 star because you can’t give them zero stars.

Alex and his crew work miracles. My plaster was chipping, paint was peeling and my hallway had an «elephant skin» appearance on the ceiling. Alex returned them all to a pristine state. I couldn’t be happier with the job and with Alex. I will definitely use them in the future for all of my painting needs!

This is long overdue and so well– deserved.
Alex had his team come to paint my bedroom. They did a good job. However, they did not take down the curtains and when I went to bed that night found paint on two of the curtains.
I reached out to Alex and he was appalled not only that it happened, but more so that I had to find it myself.
He immediately offered to replace the curtains.
This is where Alex went above and beyond, especially for a single bedroom paint job.
Months had passed. I had not contacted him despite purchasing new curtains, and HE CALLED TO FOLLOW UP! After I forwarded the receipt, I received a check within the week.
WOW! What a great work ethic and company!
I have told many people and hope to be sending business his way!
Thank you so much Alex! I hope I have a larger job for you soon!

It was initially somewhat difficult to track Alex down to paint our forthcoming baby’s room, but the team was very nice, very professional, and very fast. Not to mention the room looks great. Thanks guys!

The team did a fairly large job painting our place and we were thrilled with the result. Would absolutely recommend the team and work with them again!

Alex and his team are great! Super high quality work and reasonably priced, and always on time and very reliable. They are super meticulous about their painting and keeping things cleaned up and taped off, etc. Their professional work makes such a huge difference — I’m never going to paint anything myself again!

Updating… we had Alex come for another paint job, this time our baby’s room. His team was fast and very professional. We will continue to use him for our painting needs.

Alex has painted many walls and areas around our house, I couldn’t be happier with his service.
Always on time and always quality work. You’d never know two drunk homo’s stumble through our house often! Thanks for all the great work!

Having dealt with a handful of contractors and their subs in the recent year, I can strongly recommend Alex. He was great. Precise in his quote and timing of deliverables, his team was curteous and efficient, his work product was professional. Alex is visibly good at his job and he takes pride in it, working with him I felt he was focused on not only delivering great quality of service but ensuring we were happy with the work product. He did a great job in guiding us through color selection and matching. I would hire Alex and only Alex to do any of my painting jobs.

I have used Alex on several occasions at two different homes I have owned. I have nothing but positive things to say about him in any category: quality of work, cleanliness, timeliness, friendliness or competitive pricing.

Alex is just great! He is friendly, polite and he does not cut corners. He made suggestions by really looking for what was needed and he delivered.
He is not cheap, but fair for a great job.
I certainly will keep his number,

Alex and team painted the interior of our house before we moved in a couple years ago. He and crew were very professional and the price was reasonable. The work was on time and looked great. In fact, Alex came back a couple times afterwards to put in finishing touches and touch up some areas. We were and still are very satisfied with the work. I definitely recommend him.

I just realized I never wrote Alex a review for the work he did for us. Our electrician did a lot of work on our place which required a lot of holes. You can’t tell at all where those places are anymore thanks to Alex. The color, patching and texture work blend in seamlessly with our walls. We will definitely use him again.

Just got off the phone with them. Making my rounds to see who can paint my company logo on my studio wall. Every other place put me on hold for 4 minutes, was rash and rude. but when I called here he spent time thinking of a place that could help me out instead and recommended that I also type in ‘hand painted logos’. duh. genius.
A place that helps you out even when they can’t help you out? I’ll be calling them when I move out of the house.
thanks!

From start to finish Alex was professional, honest and an absolute pleasure to work with. We had our condo painted and he worked with our budget, was fast and the work was GREAT. He even went above and beyond on some things that were not in the original estimate and that he didn’t charge us for.
We will definitely use him again!

Alex is a very nice person — I would hire him again in a minute for any type of painting or drywall. I am sure he does more, but that is what he did for me.
I had some electrical work done to my bathroom, with the result that there were eight holes in the previously pristine walls and ceiling. Alex was recommended by my electrician, who was also great (and on Unilocal).
Alex showed up on time, was completely professional (and great at responding to email), and quickly made the holes in my wall a thing of the past. Within 2 quick visits, my wall and ceiling looked exactly the same as they had before the electrical work. He even took pictures in case there is ever an inspection to prove that the caulking was performed to code.
Aside from being very good at the drywall and painting, he was a great person — friendly and trustworthy. His rates were quite reasonable, but to me, having someone you trust is just as important.
Thanks to all Unilocalers who have helped me with finding electrician, refrigerator repair, plumbing, and painting services! I am writing reviews to return the favor — I had great experiences with all people that were recommended.
