Reviews from Our Riverside Painting Clients

  • A great big thank you to Mr. Watson and his team. The week we had our home painted, Mother Nature decided to give us record breaking heat, and then hit us with a surprise storm. Despite the awful weather, the crew showed up every morning with a smile on their faces, and pushed through to get the job done. They did their best to accommodate our busy schedules, and work around our large dogs. We could not be happier with the end result, and have been receiving many compliments on how nice the house turned out. They did an excellent job, and have definitely earned our repeat business.

  • The entire experience working with Watson Painting was pleasurable and professional. Steve Watson, owner, came to my house which was my first indication I liked this company. He explained the process, how long the project would take and followed through with everything he told me he was going to do. Communication is key in any business and Watson is fortunate to have Leslie as the hub! She was instrumental in scheduling, rescheduling due to extremely hot weather and rain. Always kept me up to date and I appreciated working with her. Mike was the lead and he too, kept me posted on the project. I recommend Watson Painting for outstanding service, top notch professional painting (their work is impeccable) and incredibly fair price. As a REALTOR, I will refer ALL my clients to Watson! Thanks so much guys!

  • Watson Painting Corporation gave us the BEST painting experience that any homeowners could have ever asked for. We are EXTREMELY glad we chose them as our painters.

    While searching for someone to paint our home, we were looking for a licensed, bonded, and insured painting company that would give an honest, reasonable price with excellent quality. Watson Painting went above and beyond these expectations. Other companies were quoting ridiculous prices, Mr. Watson provided an honest recommendation and a fair quote. After meeting with Mr. Watson, we knew Watson Painting Corp. was the company we wanted to go with.

    We had a time frame to meet with a pending wedding at our home. The job needed to be done right away and Leslie assured us that the job would be finished on time. I was a bit nervous about the tight time line, when I called to express this to Leslie, she had been apparently thinking about this too. She called me back and with great news... Leslie able to get us in earlier that expected!

    Mike Elliot and his crew showed up in a few days ready to start the job! Mike and his crew were exceedingly neat on the job and met our high standards and with great customer service. They were extremely meticulous, giving consideration to every detail. Our home looks beautiful...!!!

    Mike and his crew rocks...!!!

    We would HIGHLY recommend Watson Painting Corp. to anyone interested in having their home painted. As a matter of fact, we have already recommended their services to neighbors & family members.

    Do not hesitate to give them a call! You'll be very glad you did...!!!

  • Watson Painting helped us a few years ago when we had water damage from neighbor's condo leaking into ours. Their restoration work was quick and beautiful. So when we needed our new home painted and wood restained they were our go to. They were responsive and professional. Kept the place clean and a great price. The work took over 2 weekends because of rain (work was done inside and outside). They really take pride in their work. If you're looking for great people to do great work, Watson's the one you want to call.

  • I had Watson come to my house and do a painting repair that I needed done. They sent Mike Elliott who was very nice and very efficient and got the job done. I'm very happy with this company and the work and price of the job, and would recommend them to anybody who needs any sort of painting job done. The owner Steve also very nice and texted me directly.
