We had our home painted this summer and it's still not completed. It appears they are leaving my home striped for the winter. It is now too cold to paint and any day they say they are coming it rains or they don't show up. The communication is horrible. My house has peeled since the week after they were "done". They left sheets hanging from my roof for over a month now. I recommend you do not hire these people!

Can't say enough about these folks - from Reid who is the estimator, to Nancy the project manager to Abraham and his painting crew. They did an excellent job and even though it took a couple of days longer than anticipated I am extremely pleased with their work. We had some trouble re-staining the garage doors ( high end wood custom doors) but they worked hard to make sure it was perfect. I couldn't be happier with selecting IM Painting and even though they were not the cheapest, the end result was without a question, worth it. I highly recommend that anyone who wants quality work

We are very pleased with the job done by IM Painting on our house exterior. Love driving up to the house and seeing the beautiful, fresh color change. Reid was very knowledgeable, very attentive throughout the entire project, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Concho, Ray, and Edgar did a stellar paint job. I greatly appreciated their conscientious work ethic and painting skill. Although we had a bump in the road with the expected paint coverage, I was relieved by the professional way in which it was handled. It's really how a business handles a challenge such as that, that acurately

IM Painting efficiently and professionally completed two different jobs at my home. Both times, the painters showed up on time, put up plastic around furniture, covered the floors, and did an outstanding job. The painters are respectful of your home and your time, making every effort not to inconvenience me--difficult when your kitchen is being painted. I know what an excellent job Valentin did on my kitchen because the former painter (years before) missed several areas to repaint--like inside cupboards or the other side of doors. I felt the cost, although not inexpensive, was more than reasonable

We had the entire interior of our house painted (except ceilings) including wallpaper removal from 3 rooms and had stucco repaired and painted on the exterior. Our crew of Concho (Jose), Ray and Valentin did an OUTSTANDING job! Their attention to detail went beyond expectations with everything they did from preparing each room until the job was complete. They were very professional and cordial and we were completely comfortable having them in our home for over a week. We also worked with Melissa (estimator) and Brian (supervisor) who were also extremely knowledgable and helpful. They were not the

We had IM paint the exterior trim and found their service, communication and actual work product to be excellent. They came out quickly providing a very competitive quote which we accepted. The work was done the next week and completed timely. We appreciated that each day the work areas were completely cleaned up around the house. Our final walk thru was excellent. Good workers doing the painting and the IM team made it an easy and pleasant experience. We recommend them.

IM Painting did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home in Lake Forest, Ca. After receiving 5 estimates, we decided to go with IM Painting. We're happy we did. Our home looks fantastic. Thanks guys for exceeding my expectations!
