Customer Reviews

Lori Eifert

The team at Cartelli Painting & Waterproofing did an outstanding job on the outside and inside of our nearly 100 year old home. Leon, Rigo, Oscar and Estuardo were prompt, professional and thorough and the prep work before the painting even began was amazingly detailed. We could not be any happier with their work and would recommend them to all and will hire them again the future.

We had a great experience all around with Cartelli. They are so professional, efficient, and easy to work with. They did an extremely thorough and good quality job on our projects. Communication and coordination was excellent. Consultation and support with decision making was so helpful. They even went above and beyond to rescue and secure our bunnies who escaped while were out of town! We will definitely call on Cartelli again in the future for more projects! Highly recommend!

Rachel Gingold

I couldn’t be happier with the incredible job done by this painting company on the exterior of our home. The crew was exceptionally professional, using only the highest-quality products and taking meticulous care with every detail. As a retired muralist with extensive knowledge about paint, I interviewed multiple contractors. Not only did this team stand out as the most professional, but they were also the most affordable—an unexpected bonus! Leon, the project manager, was fantastic: incredibly responsive, a great communicator, and provided daily updates, which I really appreciated. I will absolutely hire them again for future projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, reliable, and detail-oriented painters.

The team at Cartelli was friendly, punctual, and detail oriented. They did a great job with our interior and exterior paint jobs, and were knowledgeable in suggesting and implementing solutions to some issues, like water seeping in under a door. They were also able to install chair rail in our dining room so we could paint a bold, vibrant color below it without overwhelming the room, and they made my vision of a gradient barn door a reality. We’re thrilled with their work and would use them again for any future paint jobs (and probably will, since now I’m eyeing all the walls in our house they haven’t painted yet…)

Again, Cartelli Painting did a superb job for us, both interior and some exterior. We have relied on them for over 30 years. Leon Alkani gives personable and patient help with colors, and the team are skillful and flexible and have high standards for detailed work. Prices are attractive. We recommend them with great enthusiasm.
