I learned about David from our homes previous owners, and have used David multiple times painting both interior and exterior, and had the pleasure of recommending him to neighbors and friends who are also always happy with his painting! **★★★★★ — Melissa Griffiths, Feb. 2020** > We have worked with David and his team several times for work in our house. They are truly excellent and extremely professional. I would have no hesitation in working with David again, in fact, I probably wouldn't go anywhere else. **★★★★★ — DORIS MARX, Jan. 2020** > David has kept my house beautiful for 33 years; I would not let anyone else touch my castle! His crew does a wonderful job preparing the wall surfaces before applying paint. The paint is of highest quality. I consult with David about the colors but it is always my choice in the end. His crew tapes all baseboards and trims so the lines are perfect. All the workers are polite and professional and highly trained by David. David has also given me referrals for other craftspeople and I have never had any problems. I trust him implicitly with all work on my home. **★★★★★ — George Mazzotta, Jan. 2020** > David and his team have painted our home periodically for years. David and his painters are very conscientious and perfectionistic in their work. I highly recommend David Collins Painting. **★★★★★ — Big Wayne, Jan. 2020** > --------- david is not bashful about telling you what you need. if that sounds expensive, it is . if you let him do the job he thinks you should do, you'll come out with a really fine job . . . **★★★★★ — montllor, Dec. 2019** > We got David's name from a neighbor who had used him, and whose paint job looked awesome. David is very meticulous, careful, and did a beautiful job. Perhaps not surprisingly, he is not inexpensive. As part of the prep process he referred us to a plasterer who was also great-- David is a good source of recommendations! **★★★★★ — HU-914347367, Dec. 2019** > David Collins Painting is a truly professional organization. They have been doing work for us for several years. They have completely painted both the interior and exterior of our house. Their work was better than anything done prior. I can wholeheartedly recommend them. Mr. Collins is honest perfection. **★★★★★ — Alice Erb, Nov. 2019** > Five stars to David and his personable and capable crew. They are true professionals and I've been enjoying the fruits of their labor ever since. They were meticulous in their execution and very neat in their cleanup. ## Selected projects - [Berkley Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/berkley-home-pj-vj~5929987) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 1 - [Stained and Varnished Honduran Mahogany](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stained-and-varnished-honduran-mahogany-pj-vj~6037191) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 4 - [Exterior Paint](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-paint-pj-vj~5838828) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 2 - [Piedmont Home Painted](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/piedmont-home-painted-pj-vj~5838830) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 4 - [Orinda, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orinda-ca-pj-vj~2460669) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 5 - [Orinda Exterior Paint](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orinda-exterior-paint-pj-vj~5838810) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 1 - [Old Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-home-remodel-pj-vj~5838826) - Location: Orinda, California - Photos: 3 - [Front Entry Lafayette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-entry-lafayette-pj-vj~5838770) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 1 - [Gate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gate-pj-vj~5838761) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 2 - [Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-pj-vj~5838813) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 4 - [Front Entry Piedmont](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-entry-piedmont-pj-vj~5838820) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 1 - [Exterior Side Wine Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-side-wine-doors-pj-vj~5838680) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 2 - [Exterior Metal and Stucco](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-metal-and-stucco-pj-vj~5838724) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 3 - [Deck Refinished](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-refinished-pj-vj~5838712) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 1 - [Front Entry Orinda](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-entry-orinda-pj-vj~5838693) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 1 - [Interior Repaint](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-repaint-pj-vj~5838699) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 2 - [Interior Bookshelf](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-bookshelf-pj-vj~5838749) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 1 [See all 17 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/painters/david-collins-painting-pfvwus-pf~436744602) ## Community Q&A **Q: Help with exterior paint colors to bring into 2020** *(in Paint)* We recently purchased this home and it is in desperate need of an update. The original home colors were around the Duron Wild Grasses paint strip. I do not like the darkest color on the shutters and garage doors. That about all I do know. Should we paint the brick? That seems like a process that isn’t necessarily needed, but is intriguing. Should the white porch railings and pillars be wood tone? What would you do with this home? I would like to see it shift into this decade, but I’m just so terrible at imaging the exterior changes. Thanks in advance! A: I was always told from a high end Colorist you make garage doors disappear . However , that was many moons ago . --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
