I had reached out to J. Brown Painting to update my kitchen from dark walnut to a brighter white finish. I cannot say enough great things about the entire process. Justin was very responsive, providing an estimate almost immediately, and we had the contract and start date set within a matter of days. The foreman, Robert, and the rest of the crew were punctual, pleasant, and efficiently got the job done. The overall paint job was flawless and I am extremely happy with the final result.

I'm a first time home owner. I selected J Brown because of the personal and quick response when I asked for an estimate online. And they were the best estimate too!They did a great job. Half of my cabinets were new and unfinished, and the other half was old cabinets, in okay shape. J Brown Painting did an awesome job painting them and finished in the time they quoted.I couldn't be happier with the results. As friends or family see them for the first time, it is always....wow! Thank you Justin, Robert and the team.

Justin helped get my house done inside and out very quickly (2 days!!) great quality. Would recommend!!

These guys are a little pricey but their service and the work itself make them worth it. I don’t have the time to deal with the bs of other contractors, so I went with J Brown Painting. I’m happy I did. Job looks incredible.

J Brown Painting did a great job painting the exterior of our home. We did a complete color change and are very happy with the results. The owner was supportive when we were uncertain about the color choice. The foreman and his team were very professional. The work was done in a timely manner. We recommend this company hands down!

Convenience is everything! These guys called me back the same day I requested an estimate, showed up for the bid the next day, gave me a price and a thorough break down of the prep work to be done and paint to be used, sent me a contract the same day, and gave me a firm date for when they could do the work. I loved how on top of it Justin was so I hired him! And just like Justin, his crew was sharp too. They carefully prepared my home and didn't drag the job on like some contractors do.I will say these guys weren't the cheapest, but I'm not one of those guys that tries to squeeze people for the lowest price they can get. I believe the guy that gives you the very low bid does that just to secure the job, but will skip steps and get their money back one way or another. So as long as the price seems fair, I'd rather just hire a company like J Brown Painting who does what they say and has a good reputation. Thank you Justin and Robert!

Justin was an absolute pleasure to work with and his crew did great work. We had a huge project for them (entire exterior with lots of craftsman detail) and we are super happy with the result. Communication was top notch both with Justin and the foreman onsite everyday. Definitely recommend!!

Very professional, very high quality paint job with an excellent, responsive, day-to-day foreman whose son is part of the crew. Crew kept things super clean! I used hourly (versus bid) work and would use bid next time as the actual hours were more than we'd initally planned for. Advise you know exactly what you want before Justin visits so that he can offer bid work. My uncertainty led to hours + materials pricing. That said, the hourly rate was very fair and I felt there was great value in the job.

I reached out to J Brown Painting since I wanted to repaint several rooms of my condo. This definitely wasn't the cheapest bid, but I didn't want to go with the lowest bidder when it comes to my place. The responsiveness, scheduling and receiving a bid was an easy process to follow and made this painting company that much more worth the extra expense. I highly recommend using this painting contractor if you want a nice finish and quality work. I was squeezed in on a weekend, and I got the job done ahead of schedule thanks to Robert and two additional painters coming to paint.

Everything was perfect. A pleasure to work with. No surprises. I would definitely use Justin again and encourage others to do the same.

We’ve had a lot of work done to our house and have been through a lot of contractors so we know what to look for. We got a lot of bids to paint the outside of our 3 story home. We got cheaper bids, but we’ve been down that road before and regretted hiring the cheapest guy. We ended up using J Brown Painting despite them being the slightly higher bid because of their impressive body of work in our neighborhood and Justin’s attention to detail and responsiveness. We knew if there was a problem, one text to Justin or convo with his foreman, problem solved. Hire these guys and avoid the headaches of no shows, schedule pushbacks, shotty work, and bad communication we’ve experienced with other contractors!

I found these guys to be incredibly easy to work with. Justin showed up on time for the estimate, explained to me how they would tackle the job, and ways to make the job more efficient, and therefore, less expensive. I can be picky with colors, but I'm always open to saving money :)I got 3 estimates and J Brown Painting's was the middle bid. Just based off of how professional Justin was on the phone, his text to confirm our estimate, and how quickly he got me a bid, I could tell these guys were going to be worth the little extra money because they would provide a better service and less headaches for me. So I hired them, and even though they couldn't get to me for 2 months like they told me, they were able to get to me a couple days earlier than promised! Their foreman Robert did a great job cleaning up every day and keeping me in the loop for when they would be done, and making sure I liked the paint job before they left. I am happy to recommend J Brown Painting! Thank you Justin and Robert :))

Justin and his crew were lovely to work with, they did a fabulous job painting our cabinets and stairwell. I highly recommend them.

The experience of working with Justin and his crew could not have been any better. Justin was personable, quick to respond, knowledgeable, and very professional. He was able to get the liability insurance for my condos HOA, where as other prior contractors were not able to fulfill it.My condo came out absolutely phenomenal after they finished painting. The trim came out very crisp and the colors Justin recommended truly transformed my condo. I highly recommend Justin and his company, and look forward to doing business with them again in the future!

Justin, the owner of J Brown Painting, is an extremely professional person. He answered all of our detailed questions, worked with our HOA, and kept his crew safe. His foreman, Robert worked with the team everyday overseeing all the details of our specific painting needs, discussing each portion of the project with his crew and keeping everyone safe. Our building demanded high standards, teamwork, specific painting details which included high railings, trim, doors, fencing, gutters/downspouts, and rooftops. The building looks brand new, absolutely fantastic! We will always use Justin...J Brown Painting and his team anytime we need painting!

I am a carpentry and painting contractor that worked on the same job as J.Brown Painting and I was very impressed with Justin and his crews ability to work together and communicate. They took every precaution to protect the homeowners possessions from overspray and I could tell the homeowner felt very relaxed the entire time.

John Kussmann

20:44 18 Apr 21

Our experience with J Brown Painting was great! The quality of the work was very good and the prices were fair. They promised good communication and delivered. They were on time and efficient. Any issues that came up were quickly resolved. The crew was respectful of our property and followed COVID protocols. We definitely recommend them.

Justin and his team deliver high quality work with professional customer service. Justin’s team arrive on time, have a positive attitude, and put a true effort into every project. The team is not rushed in their work and are responsive to any suggestions. We have used J Brown painting for 2 projects and are planning on a third- we highly recommend this team.

Justin was recommended to me by our contractor who remodeled our condo a year and a half ago. He obviously thinks highly of Justin's work, and now, so do we! Justin is a professional. He & his team are very detail oriented, not to mention friendly and a pleasure to work with. He painted all of the cabinets throughout our condo and we are amazed with the transformation. Thank you Justin!

Everything about our experience with J Brown Painting was phenomenal! He's very detailed and thorough, did exactly what we needed to get our home looking great! Very fair pricing, professional workers, impeccable job done. Came recommended by my parents, who are still very happy with his work, several years later.

Justin is a very professional house painter in San Diego. They did an excellent job! Thanks guys!

Justin is an honest and high quality painter that I have recommended to clients on a number of homes I have sold. He really blew me away on one home in particular recently in Point Loma. A beautiful home that had high ceilings, unique trim work, and required strict attention to detail. He did such a great job and finished on time. I highly recommend J Brown Painting.

Margaret Westervelt

22:49 24 Jan 21

We had the BEST experience with Justin (via personal referral and honestly thank goodness) as we just purchased our first home and didn't even know where to start with getting our walls re-painted!Not only was he so quick to respond, give us an accurate quote, and get the job done quickly, he also went above and beyond with suggestions of paint colors, fixing some windows that needed a little TLC around the edges, and made sure he face-timed us and sent picture of everything prior to finishing the job.I was so nervous to find the right painters, especially doing it remotely in the time of COVID, but can't say enough great things about Justin and his team. Thank you SO much Justin! Our place looks great and we are so thankful we found your team.If you're looking for a paint job in San Diego this is your place! I promise.

The experience I had with Justin and his crew was probably the smoothest and easiest experience I've ever had working with a contractor. They actually showed up, which seems to be rare in the construction industry! I left them the keys and as promised, they got the interior painting done before I moved in to my new house. Any time I had a question, I could just call or text Justin. I'm happy with the results!

Paul Simone

18:14 17 Oct 20

These guys are a rare breed amongst San Diego contractors. They are good communicators, work long days, and get the job done quickly, but carefully. I was impressed with how clean they were.

Catherine Woodmeyer

16:15 11 Oct 20

Working with J Brown Painting was probably the easiest and least stressful experience I've ever had with a contractor in San Diego. They showed up right on time, worked consecutive days until the project was complete, and were quiet while working. They were in and out in 3 days. I recommend these guys!

Diane Raddler

16:22 04 Oct 20

Justin and his team we're a pleasure to work with.It's nice being able to contact Justin with a simple text instead of being put on hold for 20 mins like I have with big corporate painting companies I've hired in the past. I found J Brown Painting's prices to be competitive too! I've already recommended them to my neighbor.

Jen Roberts

23:43 17 Aug 20

They did a great job prepping and painting our house in just eight days. I thought it would take much longer, but they were fast and efficient.

Mark Wade

14:10 31 Mar 20

We needed just our eaves painted...two colors. Justin gave us a good price and did a great job! Eaves are a painstaking process to prep and paint. Justin was methodical, paid attention to detail, and made sure to ask questions about things that could be left to interpretation. Excellent job!

Maria Padilla

22:34 16 Mar 20

Justin and his experienced crew do incredible work! He made my plain white pillars look like beautiful stone! I thought their prices were very reasonable.

By way of a personal referral, Justin painted most of the inside of our first floor. We couldn't have hired a better, more professional painter. Justin ain't the cheapest but if I wanted cheap I would have handed a paint brush to my wife.My wife comes from a family of painters. So she's picky with paint. She looked at Justin's work tonite and said "I sure did pick out some good colors." I said "You're right dear but it was Justin who took those colors and made our walls look great."If you're looking for a good painter, Justin is your guy. He takes painting seriously and does a great job. Thank you Justin.

Justin and Jeff were so great to work with. When getting the bids Justin was the most responsive. We hired them to paint our deck and cabinets. They were very patient with us during the process since we were not sure on the color for our deck. The end result is great. They are super nice, professional, always on time and got the job done when promised.

Juan Diaz

05:19 19 Feb 20

Justin and his crew are exactly what you look for when hiring a contractor: quick to respond, professional, on time, informative, bid out stuff separately to work with your budget, affordable, and thorough. Highly recommend!

Carol Christ

01:37 06 Jan 20

We knew painting the outside of our 7500 square foot house was going to be a big and tough job, so we got a bunch of bids! Out of all the bids though, we felt Justin and his crew were the most trustworthy, detailed, and hard working. He assured us he would work full, consecutive week days until the job was done. He kept his word. And their daily clean up made it feel like they weren't even here! I would not hesitate to recommend J Brown Painting for a big painting project! We were very happy with the outcome.

Used Justin to pressure wash and paint our two story rental in San Diego, and gutter clean our home in Coronado. Couldn't have been happier with how easy he is to do business with. Would recommend.

If you want it done right, call Justin Brown. I am so pleased with his workmanship and attention to detail. The best!!!

Had J. Brown seal our walkway. Price was fair, he worked long days, and our walkway is now protected from water and the sun. Can't complain

Kim Johnston

02:59 17 Jun 19

Had our concrete sealed and power washed. We were very pleased with the outcome! Justin's a professional young man and we won't hesitate to recommend him.

Trish MacDonald

07:09 04 Jun 19

Update: As promised, we're working with Justin again to paint the exterior of our house. And couldn't be happier. :) Same nice, professional guy doing an exceptional job!It's hard to find a good painter in San Diego. Justin is everything you'd want in a contractor: timely, friendly, dependable, and affordable. And clean! We worked with him to paint the interior of our old home, plus the kitchen cabinets and recently had him clean the windows of our new home. We plan to use him again to paint the inside and exterior of our new home soon too. Highly recommend!

Chuck Malone

23:45 28 Apr 19

I hired Justin to seal our slate rock driveway and walkways. He was quick to get me an estimate, the price was affordable, the final look was solid, but I didn't expect him to finish so fast. I watched him do 2 coats though.

Lauren Wesley

04:26 08 Mar 19

We got 5 estimates to paint the exterior of our house in San Diego! Justin & Jeff's estimate was the second to lowest, yet included quite a bit more. They were the only company that was able to give me a price AT the estimate, instead of emailing it to me later. I really liked that. In the end, we hired these guys and we couldn't be happier. They've mastered attention to detail, have fantastic communication skills, and offer a competitive price

Sam A

22:39 13 Feb 19

We hired Justin a few years ago to paint our garage and some other exterior projects. He did a great job with all the projects and completed them on time as promised. Aside from being honest, hardworking, and a skilled painter, he is one of the nicest people you'll get to work with.

Jon Harrington

18:13 09 Feb 19

On time, clear communication, inexpensive. Will hire again for our next project :)

Kyle Brannegan

17:27 04 Feb 19

I've got nothing but good things to say about Justin's work. I will say, I was hesitant to hire him on first sight, solely because he looks very young, but he was professional and timely during the estimate, and adept in the work itself.

Andrew Masten

02:49 22 Jan 19

This young man knows his stuff! Works hard!

Michele Hanson

02:45 22 Jan 19

Justin has worked on my home, my sister's, and my next door neighbor's! We all had a fantastic experience. He is so easy to work with and has such reasonable prices for the quality of work. Best contractor in San Diego!! I'd highly recommend J. Brown Painting for painting, pressure washing, or gutter cleaning.

Eric Zayas

02:42 03 Dec 18

We loved working with Justin. He always showed up on time, worked quickly, and made sure we were in the loop. Will use again.

Lauren Smith

01:58 26 Nov 18

I should have left this review weeks ago! We chose J. Brown Painting over the other bids we received, for a few reasons: 1) Justin not only came out to do the bid, but he also did the work! We like that. 2) His prices were right in the middle and 3) Justin actually talked us out of painting stuff that didn't really need to be painted..we liked that he only gave us a bid on parts of the house that actually needed to be painted and didn't try to upsell us.Overall, we were thrilled with the work and how quickly and neatly he got it done

Ceilidh Vitullo

18:01 24 Nov 18

Justin is a very meticulous painter, yet works efficiently. I was happy with the entire process and would recommend to anyone!

Local guy, works hard, great prices

Aaron Pedersen

Justin quoted me the best price for gutter cleaning and was able to squeeze me in his busy schedule the following week! I was pleased with the work and the overall process.

Jeff Hippolyte

00:40 09 Nov 18

Justin was the first to call me back, put me in his schedule for the following week, and gave me the best price! Our house looked much better after he washed our windows and pressure washed the entire house. Would recommend to anyone.

Keri Long

Best painter we've hired in San Diego! Good guy all around.

Austin Ciccone

The dude does everything: painting, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, window washing. I thought his prices were fair. What's not to like

Samantha Clark

04:06 02 Nov 18

Wow, Justin is everything you want in a contractor: on time, reliable, friendly, very reasonably priced, trustworthy, and knowledgeable! We had him pressure wash our home in San Diego, and do some gutter cleaning on our home in Poway. Thanks Justin!

Rebecca Badley

00:49 29 Oct 18

You can stop searching, Justin is your go-to guy for anything house painting, window washing, power washing, stucco patching, and even gutter cleaning. We've used him for literally all of these services! At first, we were concerned because he looks so young. But, within 5 minutes of meeting him, we could tell he knew his stuff. We were impressed that he would work 10 hour days and how tansparent he was with his prices, and didn't try to sell us on stuff we didn't actually need. 10/10, would recommend :)

Danielle Zirelli

20:08 10 May 18

We are getting ready to move and didn't want to paint it, as it's in good shape. We found Justin with a quick internet search, and had him pressure wash the entire house. It looks flawless. We were impressed with his work ethic and professionalism.

Kristi Caietti

05:30 10 May 18

Needed our gutters cleaned in San Diego and Justin did an amazing job! Showed up on time and was very efficient. We have tried many different companies in the San Diego area, but will definitely be using Justin again for anything else we need to get fixed up!

Lauren Kaplan

05:21 10 May 18

Justin did an amazing job cleaning our house. He deep cleaned the house and we asked him to specifically focus on our windows and they look brand new!! He was speedy and meticulous and I am definitely going to use him in the future. For anyone who lives in San Diego, I know it is hard to find a good cleaner...I definitely reccomend Justin’s services!

Jenna Toppin

19:54 09 May 18

Justin came over to my home in San Diego to clean the driveway that had a horrible oil stain on it. He was efficient with time and was able to get the entire stain out! Highly recommend him for any type of driveway cleaning service!

Nikole Ferrari

19:31 09 May 18

Justin did a great job power with my walls. Had a bunch of holes and needed a stucco repair with my house in San Diego. No more holes and looks good as new! Would definitely recommend him!
