Winning Colors

I selected Nita and Winning Colors as a ‘middle bidder’, and had this Hayes Valley job done two years ago. Thought I had done a review, but looking back … well, guess I now have the advantage of perspective.
Definitely have them again. They did the exterior (front, back, sides & air-​wells) of a 4U and I am v pleased. V professional job. Nita hooked me up with a color-​consultant who did a great job. Her crew was clean, orderly, on-​time and respectful of us and the animals. The price quoted was more than fair for what they gave. I kick myself that I didn’t have them do some interior work at the time.

Working with Nita and Winning Colors was a very smooth and enjoyable experience.
Our building had some water damage and needed painting. We reached out to Nita and she brought in a combination of contractors: carpentry, roofing and painters to take on this project.
Nita was super customer focused, on time, detail oriented and very responsive to all our questions and concerns. She was also extremely patient with our group and some of the changes we made along the way.
She stayed on budget and was super transparent.
i recommend her.

Nita and team did a fantastic job on my kitchen. Nita even helped me pick a color for my kitchen that is absolutely perfect: a rich, saturated turquoise that is just gorgeous!
The price Nita quoted me was also very fair and reasonable.
I also loved the fact that they finished the job in just ONE day.
I’ll be reaching out to Winning Colors when I’m ready to do my LR and BR soon!
Thanks Nita and team for a great experience!

Winning Colors just painted both the building my business is located in as well as the one right next door. They are a terrific company, headed by Nita, who couldn’t be any nicer or more accommodating. They were fast, clean, and courteous and did their very best not to interfere with our business as they diligently worked to get the job done. Would definitely recommend using Winning Colors for all your painting needs.

Winning Colors had an enormous job to do with our 3-​story 1895 Victorian, in the Alamo Square district of San Francisco. The very large building was covered with cracking, flaking and bubbling paint, not to mention a very out-​dated, dark color that no longer suited the neighborhood.
With the help of Nita Riccardi, our 4-​unit building has metamorphosized into a home we are very proud of. She expertly led her crew through the process of removing every blemish, repairing problems we had not even noticed, and restoring our beautiful building into a work of art (see photos).
In addition, Nita and her crew are wonderful to work with. They are efficient, yet very detail-​oriented. They consider every aspect of the job, including the lives of those who live in the building, and even the neighbors! Nita is fully licensed and bonded, and is certified to handle the hazardous materials that occur while removing old paint.
If you’re considering working with Nita, and live in or near the city, I would recommend that you ask her for a list of the homes she has painted and take a tour of her works of art. You’ll be delighted.

Nita Riccardi and her crew just completed our building in The Mission, transforming it from a drab and anonymous place by bringing it back to be a stunning Edwardian of its former glory. She brought in a color consultant and was great at recommending other contractors through the Artistic License guild. She is creative, easy to work with and very detailed. I rarely have had a contractor give such value for the price. I highly recommend her!

Our Homeowners Association selected Winning Colors out of four bidding contractors to paint the exterior of our four-​story condominium building. Our selection was the result of an eight-​month process by a volunteer committee to research the project requirements and then select the best vendor for our needs. Winning Colors tendered a competitively-​priced bid and we selected them based on price, qualifications, and attention to our concerns in the bidding process.
Though our building is only seven years old, its surface was dirty, unevenly colored, and rife with hairline fractures that needed repair. It needed other waterproofing measures as well, including caulking around the windows and slate stairs. We discovered that the stucco was in fact tinted and had never had been painted before, so our painting project would require a prime coat and two layers of color on top of that. There were nine colors in the design provided by colorist Lynne Rutter, whom we had hired prior to selecting the painter, and included a paint color for the unfinished aluminum trim.
Within five weeks of contract signing, the work was complete and it is beautiful. We are extremely pleased with the quality of workmanship, materials used, and care taken of our property throughout the process. Owner Nita Riccardi hired and supervised experienced painters who worked quietly and conscientiously and treated our building with care. This crew is expert with masking for clean lines and protecting windows and fixtures. The project was amazingly gentle on our plantings and surrounds, and our windows were left clean, with no splatter. When small issues did arise, we simply emailed Nita and she handled them immediately.
We are very happy with how the building looks now. The high-​quality Sherwin Williams paint beams in the sunlight and we are confident that it will hold up to the ravages of sun, fog, rain, and freeway soot over time. Without reservation, we recommend Winning Colors to other homeowners and condominium associations.

I had my kitchen, living room and hallway painted by Winning Colors. I was happy with the price and quality of work by the owner, Nita Riccardi. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of a reliable painter. I plan on having my bedroom done soon and will call Winning Colors.
