I had several cosmetic issues throughout my home, but the biggest eyesores were a couple poorly patched areas where old lighting had been removed years ago. After reading his reviews, I reached out to Cesar, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. His professionalism and attention to detail are top-notch. He repaired the damage and it’s texturized so well that it all blends in. Also gave my kitchen, living room, and the rest of the hallways a fresh coat of new paint. The finish is so flawless that I’m in no rush to put my living room decor back up—I just want to enjoy the clean look for as long as I can get away with. Before/after photo of hallway here
I contacted Vatos Painting because I needed my living room painted to help bring my vision to life. I have been wanting some black accent walls in my boring millennial grey house since we moved in 2020, and Cesar went above and beyond for us! Painting black walls can be tricky, leaving roller marks and streaks but not my walls- they are PERFECT ???? Cesar listened to my desires when it came to wanting a flat/ matte finish and recommended the exact finish I wanted so I could still has washable walls. Cesar was prompt, extremely communicative (which is hard to find these days), and always kept me in the loop. I never had any questions as to what he was up to. Cesar got us matching matte black outlets and installed them for us, replaced my ceiling kitchen lights so I could keep my warm glow throughout, and even installed my new dining hanging pendant light. He was done on time, cleaned up his mess, and extremely attentive to detail. Our walls feel like butter because he spent the time to patch and repair, primer, and sand all within his prep. His attention to detail made my walls look almost like velvet. It’s truly outstanding work, worth every penny! He was extremely fair in his pricing and I’m already conjuring up the next project for him.Thank you Cesar, you made this whole process extremely easy for us. We are in love with our new living room! If you’re looking for someone who communicates, does what they say they’ll do, doesn’t leave a mess, and spends the time in the details… Vatos Painting is the way to go!
ALERT! ALERT! CALL THIS CONTRACTOR! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !! I did my research. Not knowing anyone. I had to go online to find a painter to paint my kitchen cabinets. I had four painting contractors from very established businesses. They all came out and gave me their input. The last one to come was Cesar, the owner of Vatos Painting. Very knowledgeable and has a passion and perfection for his work. He will treat your job like it’s his own home. I had cracks in my cabinets. The were falling apart. Not only am I in love with them. They look brand new! You won’t be disappointed with this man and his skills. He was definitely born for this job. Thank you Cesar. Any other paints jobs I will need in the future. You’re the one!
Cesar was incredibly detailed and did a fantastic job! Our kitchen had been completely transformed and looks bigger! Going from dark cabinets to a light color has completely brightened up the whole area.
I recently hired Cesar to paint my ceiling in October 2025, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Before I found Cesar, I called several reputable painting companies in town but no one responded as quickly as Cesar. From the moment he came out for the initial consultation, Cesar demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his work. He brought out his color deck and sample colors for my specific project, took the time to explain the process, answer all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I noticed on day 1 that he was very meticulous with his work by the way he entered my home, making sure he has shoe coverings on. I appreciated that very much.Before starting, his team carefully moved all my heavy furniture and covered everything to protect my space. I also have a 9month old baby at home and Cesar made sure to use zero VOC Sherwin-Williams products only. The attention to detail was clear from the start. The ceiling came out beautifully—smooth and flawless. A few small bubbles did appeared afterward, which can sometimes happen, but Ceasar immediately addressed it and scheduled a follow-up visit quickly and took care of them without hesitation. His commitment to making sure I was completely satisfied really stood out to me.Throughout the project, Cesar was communicative, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, skill, and genuine customer care, but Cesar does exactly that. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional service.I will definitely keep his business card and call him again if more home projects come up down the road, of course I will also recommend him to all my friends and families. Thanks again Cesar.
