We are happy with the price and work results for the Darling exterior painting of my 1900 Victorian house. We changed the body color after seeing the painted west side, and Darling made a very fair price adjustment for the additional time, effort, and paint cost. I did a thorough online search using Yelp and Nextdoor to identify prospective painting contractors. We had seen several homes in the Junior College area being painted by Darling. The work described in the Darling proposal estimate was similar to two other painting contractor estimates, including wood prep and window glazing, but the

Darling & Associates gave me very professional and quality service. I can't say enough about the team that was lead by Miles and Damion. The office staff is wonderful as well, always communicating in a timely a professional way. There are many painters to choose from and I was very fortunate to have chosen Darling and Associates.

We had our commercial building painted by Darling last week. The job that Jose and his crew did was fantastIc! They were on time, neat, friendly , and completly professional in all aspects. We could not be happier with how our building looks. We were also very pleased with what we paid for the work performed. We would use Darling again in a heartbeat.

Jose was VERY professional, VERY respectful and so lovely to work with! When I needed to change the color of the garage doors he immediately recommended a color and was so helpful. He actually suggested a color of the shutters and I love it! The 4 men that were on his crew were all very sweet, always seemed happy, and smiling everyday; the jobsite was cleaned everyday which was very important to us since Logan and I are super OCD about cleaning; and it was such a GREAT paint job. We highly recommend them!

The experience was top notch. From the estimate to the power washer to the paint crew. They showed up when they said they would. They were neat, clean and professional. We appreciate that the crew allowed us to give input and make small changes. Upon finishing the job when they said they would, the crew did a walk around with us and left us a patch kit. Really satisfied!

Two sides of our house developed some significant water blistering the last several years. The siding is redwood and is 60 years old or so. Darling and Associates told me through their estimator that the blistering could be repaired with Bondo and would look very presentable when sanded, primed and painted. I went with Darling with optimism that what was proposed to me would work well. 6 months later, the blistering was back and was more pronounced than before. I emailed Darling in December of 2019 to tell them of the problem so they could come back after the rainy season and repair the walls.
