A well oiled machine whose CEO is an Armed Forces Veteran. Ron has established a great company with loyal employees who have the utmost professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to their profession, customers, and their company. They painted the inside of my 2600 sq ft home and I'm floored regarding how well of a job they did. One of the most important steps is the prep prior to painting.
The attention to detail that Luis displayed was incredible. He was very professional and cordial throughout the job and his painting skills are incredible. The quality of work for the price is very rare. There are plenty of home painting companies out there; however, there are very few that meet the standard of Carnival Custom Painting Houston!

My husband and I found Carnival on Angie's and we reached out to the company for an estimate.
Chris met with us to discuss our needs and emailed us a detailed estimate the next day. Chris sent Juan and his team over to work on our home. Overall, Chris, Juan and their team were responsive, efficient, and transparent throughout the entire process. They did a wonderful job. Thank you! My husband and I are beyond thrilled and we would definitely recommend Carnival to our friends and family.

I have used Carnival for a couple of different jobs now, and I can't say enough about how well they've done. Ron is quick and professional. He gave us exactly what we wanted on a fairly complicated retexture job in a room with high ceilings. His quote came in around half of the other guys. The crew that came out (Eladio and Miguel) was so respectful of our home and did a thorough job. I have worked with a variety of painters in a couple of different states, and Carnival is the best by far.

Juan Pineda and his crew did an OUTSTANDING job. Remarkably professional and pleasant. I cannot recommend these guys enough. They went above and beyond what was expected of them and should be commended. Thanks again for such great quality service.
