Licensed exterior painter for Berkeley Victorian
My mom's 1885 Victorian home in Berkeley needs external painting maintenance in areas located on the second story. Her go to contractor has retired and his apprentice does not have insurance. The thought of a painter falling from the second story freaks me out so I am trying to find an honest insured painter familiar with Victorian's who knows what they are doing and won't break the bank.

I have a home built in 1905 which has shingles and decorative features on the exterior. It, too, needed a fair amount of work and painting on both stories. After much searching and interviewing several contractors i hired the Stahlschmidt Painting Company to do the work last month. The crew started on the agreed date and did an excellent job throughout the time they were there. I was especially impressed with the preparation work as it is one of, if not the most, important part of the project as if not done properly the finish coats of paint do not look good. The supervisor, Chris, was easy to talk with and had some very good thoughts and ideas on how to make the house appear nice again. The crew used high quality paint (Benjamin Moore) throughout, the results were better than expected and I received many compliments from neighbors. The phone number for the company is: 510-848-4040 or Chris directly: 323-578-5929. You are welcome to use me, Roger, as a reference.
