Approximately 3-4 yrs. ago Marcelo painted the entire interior of our house. This required several coats and prior washing, due to both our color selection (bright white) and heavy nicotine deposits. Additionally, there was a challenge due to the heavy furniture that needed moving. The painting schedule was complicated because of our four cats, and Marcelo worked around their (and our) schedule to minimize the impact on us.. This spring (Y2013), Marcelo carried out another project which required complete fascia painting with extensive power-washing, scraping, priming of all bare wood, and two coats of paint. Also much wood rot had to be filled to avoid the cost of replacement. A very recent project, two months ago, required re-painting the shower bathroom after upgraders were done to this room. Again there was much priming, patching, sanding, re-priming to be done prior to final painting. We used Marcelo Berman's services in all of the above, because we have been very happy with the results. His work, both inside and outside our house, was meticulous and first class. We would certainly use him again, when and if the situation would arise. Please do not hesitate to use us as a reference for him. Cheers, Sorab Ghandhi. Professor.

I have had Marcelo come to do work for me twice. The first time was several months ago when I needed to have my patio painted. He returned my phone call immediately and gave suggestions as to how get the best result and I hired him. He came on time, worked diligently, was professional and took pride in his work. I am only renting so I couldn't have him do additional work for me until now. I am moving and the only company I would even think of calling was American Painting. Once again, he gave me a time he would arrive. He had to be delayed about 20 minutes but he called to tell me. I like being kept informed. He arrived ready to work and did an excellent job painting my walls, touching up some other areas and painted my front door. He even had some paint that he felt would be better than the one I chose. The door looks better than when I moved in. I am moving over 500 miles away but if I ever get back to this wonderful area again I would certainly not hesitate to call Marcelo for any painting work needed. I am pleased to happily recommend American Painting.

I highly recommend Marcello of American Painting. He's both an artist and a craftsman. Conscientious and neat. I relied on him for insights and suggestions. He'll be our "go to guy" for any further painting projects. Marcello did a really good job with the three painting projects he did for us, i.e., (1) preparing (salvaging) and painting our badly sun damaged front door, (2) painting the roof fascia, chimney tops, and dark brown window frames, etc., and (3) applying "Shingle Oil by Chevron" to my backyard, redwood fence. While our agreement provided that I buy all the paint, Marcello brought along some undercoat material called "Elastomeric" which he applied as an undercoat to help fill in the cracks caused by sun damage that were in our south facing fascia boards. A nice result.

I needed to fix some damaged areas around a wooden frame that was improperly installed, and reached out to a few companies when I was searching for a contractor. American Painting were the quickest to respond and were very flexible about the timing, which was a huge plus for me as I needed to get this done as soon as possible, and it was literally scheduled, inspected and finished on the same day. Marcelo showed up on time, and was very kind and informative about how he was going to get the work done. He did an outstanding job fixing everything, and was very attentive to details and to keeping the working area clean. I highly recommend this business.

This is our second time having American Painting paint the exterior of our home and we highly recommend Marcelo Bermann. He was very patient with us the first time especially since we didn't know what color we wanted to use and we LOVED the color and how it turned out. This second time around, we wanted to just do some touch up painting, could not remember the name of the paint and he was able to color match our house that was painted 10 years ago and it came out perfect! He is professional, reasonable, listens to what you want, will not leave until you are completely satisfied with his work and completed the job in a timely manner.

I usually don't write reviews but feel compelled to do so in this case. I had Marcelo of American Painting recently do some house painting for me, and I was very impressed with the work he did. It is clear he has been doing this a long time, and has acquired a high degree of skill and professionalism. His attention to detail and diligent effort to be sure I was very satisfied with his work makes him stand out from other painting contractors I have used in the past. I would highly recommend Marcelo/American Painting for all of your painting needs. I am confident you will be more than satisfied and glad you did.

I have my beautiful home back thanks to Marcelo of American Painting. He did both interior and exterior and believe me it was in bad shape. I had years of deferred maintenance and Marcelo repaired all the wood that was beat up by leaks and termite damage. He guided me in paint choices and was not only professional but an all around good soul. His attention to detail was impressive and pointed out to me the troubled spots and what he plans to do to fix them. His charge is very reasonable and he cleaned up everything when he completed the job. I highly recommend using Marcelo/American Paint Company.

This is the second time I asked Marcelo working on my property. He repainted my Gazebo and painted my large concrete patio (~1400 square feet) using a Westcoat special concrete primer/sealing paint system. As usual, he did a very thorough job following the manufactures instruction exactly. I hope it will last for a long time. Marcelo has many years experience and he did the work for me all himself. In this way, I feel the job quality is ensured. I have no problem to recommend him to anyone else who need a someone to do a good painting job.

Marcelo did a fantastic job at my apartment. Especially when I had a challenging time looking for a painter at the last minute prior to my move-in, Marcelo immediately came to my rescue on the day before my official move-in to paint my place. He is very knowledgeable about the paints and which ones are valuable in the long run. He has been in this business for 50 years and it shows in his work. I would highly recommend Marcelo to anyone who needs a professional painter. Thank you so much, Mr. Bermann.

Marcelo was amazing and I cannot praise him enough for the wonderful work he did in my house. He recommended a beautiful paint color when I was thinking of just doing white again. My house now has more modern and refresh look. His work is wonderful and he pays attention to details, making sure that the work is done well. He is clean when working and the job was done in a timely matter. I definitely recommend Marcelo and if I ever need anything else painted I will be contacting him again.

Marcelo was very responsive and professional from the day we first spoke until he finished the job. He did some interior painting for us and was very courteous and polite. Marcelo takes pride in his work and did an excellent job for a fair price. We are very pleased with the results and I would highly recommend Marcelo and American Painting Co.

I had a great experience with Marcelo from American Painting. He not only gave me a free estimate, but explained all the details of what he was going to do based on my needs. The quality of his work is top of the line and his rates are extremely reasonable!

Very professional and knows everything about paint.Always on time and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him for painting. I had him do some special painting with Tex-cote repair and he is one of the few licensed and approved to do the work.

Marcelo came to my home to paint my bathroom after a drywall repair. He was on time, very professional and as kind as could be. He did a great job and I highly recommend him for any of your painting needs.

Marcelo was super professional, very responsive, took all his time to give me a detailed quote and to give recommendations.
