Had a great experience with El Gato Painting. From first estimate from Jesus, schedule coordinating with Johnny, to the work done in 4 days for our single story house everyone was very professional, courteous and eager to please. The work done was amazing and clean. Our house had a lot of patchwork and sanding to be done before paint and Alberto & Eduardo worked very hard to make our house look brand new! Thank you to your team. Highly recommend.

Thank you for an excellent job El Gato Painting.

I have a 15-year-old house that needed freshening up, covering exterior stucco wall repair and repaint, wood sidings staining and metal stair railings refinishing and coating/painting.  Given many fine cracks on the stucco, Ken, the owner, consulted his Benjamin Moore rep for the best options to repair these cracks.   El Gato's bid came detailed and very reasonable.

The crew followed a 21-step preparation method with power washing, caulking and more.  They were punctual, polite, and incredibly good at what they do.  They treated my home with care, and the result is stunning.

My husband and I are incredibly pleased with the quality of the work and would use them again without hesitation.  Thank you, Moises, Mario, Marlon, and Juan (plus Ken, Jesus and Johnny).

El Gato painting was amazing! Professional, skilled, and thorough. From beginning to end, they were on time, cleaned up each day, and so detailed. Even after the job was complete, they did not hesitate to come back for small touch-ups. Jesus and Alberto were great. Jesus was in constant contact with me as the job proceeded. Alberto was so skilled as a wood worker/painter. All of the crew was fantastic! I would recommend El Gato to anyone. What a great experience!

The painters were polite, fast, & EARLY!
They gave us a heads up of when we needed to be home bc they had to paint the doors and a time frame of drying.

They take pride in their work and their procedure is like clockwork.

I capital the EARLY bc when they said 8am they are already here prior prepping which is refreshing to see.
