Aurora Painting & Decorating

Love 'em! This was our second major project with Aurora. The first was an exterior job and it lasted so well that we didn't seriously consider using anyone else to do this project--the entire interior and exterior of our extensively remodeled 3-storey house in Oakland. When we started construction we contacted Dean to make sure to get on his schedule, and he saved us a time slot with the crew (he has 4) that he thought would be the best match for the job, which included a new roof terrace & porch and a new bath & dressing room. The job was complicated with some "unique" structural elements and construction schedule slips which meant that Dean's crew had to work in less-than-ideal conditions. Martin, Victor, and Jose handled the challenges with grace and good humor, and they were very hard-working and pleasant to have around. Dean was great about explaining what needed to be done and making suggestions about materials and methods to make the finishes last longer. He's completely involved with every aspect of the job and is great at communicating--by email, phone, or in person--throughout the entire job. I used to be a project manager myself, and I appreciate his being on top of things at all times. Best of all, throughout the entire job, Dean was really attentive to making sure that our needs were being met, both in value for the money and in the quality of the work. The job is done now and it looks great. I recommend Aurora highly. But plan ahead...their schedule gets filled up!
