We contracted with him to paint the exterior of our home and I could not be more pleased. From our first meeting where Gary looked at every inch of our home, asking questions and making suggestions to the final completion he was extremely detailed and meticulous and followed through on everything we discussed. He was upfront about his schedule, staying in contact with me multiple times leading up to start date to confirm his schedule. He only uses the highest quality paint and applies 2 coats to all surfaces. His crew shows up on time each day and works HARD! The quality of workmanship is above and beyond, exceeding my expectations which by the way are extremely high. I highly recommend Gary for any painting needs you may have - you will NOT be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Scott Carson, Feb. 2020** > I used RB Painting in April 2019. Gary and his team did a great job. When I scheduled the appointment to get an estimate Gary was prompt and completed the estimate while he was at my home. The job was started and completed on time. Once we buy another home, I plan to use RB Painting if we need any painting to be done. I highly recommend Gary and RB Painting. **★★★★★ — Jeanie BETANCOURT, Jan. 2020** > Gary and his crew were very professional. The prep work was intense, so I have every reason to believe the exterior will survive the elements for quite a few years. Good energy to have in and around your home while the project is done. RB Painting is "our painting crew" . **★★★★★ — HU-469325119, Jan. 2020** > Gary and RB painting were a Godsend. After spending weeks and weeks interviewing painters my wife and I hired Gary. I can’t say enough good things about him and the company....they were 100% professional from day 1. RB painting did exactly what they said they were going to do, on time and for the quoted price. Our house looks Fantastic and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you RB Painting and Thank you Gary! **★★★★★ — D. Hunt, Jan. 2020** > Gary did an outstanding job painting the exterior of my house. He started and finished the job within the time frame he quoted. He promptly addressed all my concerns without any questions. **★★★★★ — Jim Allan, Jan. 2020** > Gary provided a competitive quote and gave me the choice of options with no pressure. Gary and team turned up on time prepped the area and completely covered the remaining furniture and carpet. Work quality was outstanding and project finished on schedule. Gary & team were very friendly and we felt at ease in our home which is not always the case when you hire some contractors. Very happy and highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Charyl Baldwin, Jan. 2020** > We have had 3 painting jobs done by Gary and his team. Beautiful work, efficient, clean. Best painters we have ever used. Very professional work. So happy to have found this team! We recommend to all of our family and friends. Thanks, Gary for your great work! **★★★★★ — veroabel, July 2013** > They came out and painted interior walls/ceilings and kitchen cabinets. They have you estimate upfront no hidden fees! They left everything clean. Highly recommend GARY. He is the owner and does the job and monitors his employees. ## Selected projects - [Painting an Amazing Rural Vista Home With Challenging Access](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/painting-an-amazing-rural-vista-home-with-challenging-access-pj-vj~6142774) - Location: Vista, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: Exterior paint project on a grand home in the Vista foothills.
