Justin was prompt and efficient in providing an estimate using photos and my measurements. The estimate was very competitive and Justin spent time to understand our expectations. The crew were prompt, respectful and prepared the area very well to avoid making a mess. The finished product was exceptional and they did not leave until I had a chance to fully inspect everything. I used Brad stoner in the past and it’s twice the cost for the same work but more hassle! Don’t be drawn in by the big companies, Justin and his team care very much about their work product and your happiness.

Pick a Winner!! We totally got the best company for our Kitchen cabinet painting! Victor and his team were amazing. I know that sounds cliché but let me tell you the attention to detail and sheer work ethic are noticeable! Victor worked with his team at our house for four days! I didn’t know how much effort went into painting kitchen cabinets! Victor explained it all to me and I have to say our cabinets look BRAND NEW!! If you need a painting company, don’t hesitate to call JBrown Painting! We already have plans to bring them back to paint our house!

Justin did a good job explaining everything well to us. Then you just hope his crew is half as good his he is. They were outstanding! Super nice, very considerate, really great people; it was a pleasure to have them around for a couple of days. Our house looks great. Thanks to Jay Brown painting, suddenly we are the envy of the neighborhood.

I couldn't recommend J Brown Painting enough. Justin was prompt, informative, and friendly during the quote. He was very professional and even followed up with me, even after I gave the business to another company. You gotta really do something right to not win the business, but still get a 5-star review!Justin has exemplarily character which I have no doubt translates into excellent product. I look forward to working with J Brown Painting in the future.

I'm a real estate agent in San Diego. Any contractor I recommend is a reflection on me, which is why I'm extremely careful. Before recommending J Brown Painting, I hired them to paint my home's exterior as well as my fence and pergola. From the beginning, Justin's communication was very thorough and responsive. His bid was precise and easy to understand. I loved how much prep work his team did before applying paint. From power washing to minor stucco repairs, and covering everything needed to prevent overspray, they were surgical with their attention to detail! The paint turned out absolutely beautiful. They were accommodating and reasonable when I changed my mind on a few items as well during the job. The sugar on top is that the whole crew is almost overly polite. The level of respect is through the roof amazing, which means a lot when you have a crew at your home for a few days.I have since recommended J Brown 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 our mutual clients were thrilled. I highly recommend J Brown Painting.

Patty Mahtani

1704221312

We had to move the painting up due to scheduling issues, but Just was true to his word-- he got it done before Christmas! We had extra crews on the job--it was like a three-day party! The crews were professional and friendly. An extra shout out to the foreman who was fantastic. Our place is transformed. And in record time and on budget. Great work everyone at J. Brown Painting!

The exterior of the house needed to be re-painted. Justin's crew arrived on time and performed flawlessly. If you are looking for a painting company give them a call and have Justin come out to go over your project with you. You'll get a fair quote and his crew will perform beyond your expectations.

The supervisor was great, always listened to our request and followed through on our concerns. Justin, the owner, is to be commended for putting together a great team and running his business like a well maintained machine. Would definitely recommend his company to friends and family.

John Pene

I needed a quality company to do some stucco repairs and repaint my house. After bids from a few different companies, I chose J Brown Painting to do the job. Justin was very communicative and always responded promptly to any questions I had. I felt they had the company size to do the job right without being so big that you felt like you were dealing with a large impersonal corporation. The crew and site supervisor did a great job of communicating what they would be doing throughout the job and were a friendly group. They went above and beyond to mask and tarp everything to avoid any chance of overspray. They made sure to treat some mildew stains I had rather than just painting over it and hoping it would not come back. The job was finished on time and looks fantastic. My 27 year old house looks like new again. I would definitely recommend J Brown Painting for your future painting needs.

Elaine Baker

Justin and his team were extremely professional and hard working, listened to our goals for stucco repair and exterior home painting, and prepared a customized and thorough price estimate. Our two projects, exterior of both house and garage, was a multi day project. Justin’s project manager and crew were so responsive and communicative, friendly and polite, and careful to make sure our dog was safe while they entered and exited the yard. I knew after the first day that the stucco and paint were going to be done right, and that I didn’t need to worry about having to go to work while they were in our yard working.We will definitely hire Justin Brown and his team for more projects in the future.
