Sunset Painting & Decorating

We have used Rolly several times to do interior painting and exterior painting jobs over the years. The last time was to paint the interior of a home. He missed several areas. We contacted him several times over a period of several months to come back to complete the job. He initial response was that he would come out and complete the job. He never did complete the job. After several more calls and leaving voice mails we received no response. I would not recommend Sunset painting.

We recently had Sunset painting paint our entry, living room and family room. They did an amazing job! They also put crown moulding in our family room and framed our windows. Everything looks fantastic.

Rolly and his team did an amazing job on our crown moulding. It’s incredible what some moulding and paint can add to a room. Beyond grateful. Pricing was perfect and the guys were done with the entire 1800 sq ft of crown with paint in 2 days.

Sunset Painting delivered! Rolly and his crew did an amazing job paining our 2-​story home. There was some dry rot around a few of our windows that they replaced as well. They exceeded all my expectations. My wife and I have an eye for the small details and the crew didn’t miss a single area. Very professional & on time! They started the project when he said they would and finished on time. I had them paint the front door as well and it turned out amazing. I highly recommend. Thanks Rolly!

It’s a gamble when it comes to getting some work done on your home. Whether it’s getting family and friend’s references or looking up random companies online.
I did the latter. I went on Unilocal for help. Seemed like Sunset Painting had the best reviews overall and the owner gave me a great impression when he came to give me an estimate. I like that the owner Roly wasn’t boastful like the other companies that gave me estimates. Roly gave me his honest recommendations. He seemed very sincere.
All I can say is: Excellent work and excellent price. I’m happy.
The crew spent 2.5 days prepping, powerwashing, and painting my house. They were very respectful to me and my property. I am very pleased with their service.
After they left, I noticed a part that needed to be painted so I called them up and they came the next day and fixed it. Superb.
I’d recommend them to all my family and friends.

Roly Rodriguez (Sunset Painting) and his crew painted our San Ramon home about 13 years ago. The home has been a rental property for the past 12 years. When our tenants recently vacated, we obtained three estimates. Roly“s estimate was by far the best. Since we had a great experience with him 13 years ago, we went with him again.
We traveled from So. Cal. where we currently live, to our rental property in San Ramon. We would be there from Monday, returning to So. Cal. the following Saturday. Roly was able to start the job on Tuesday morning and completed the job by early Friday afternoon. All of the walls, trim, baseboards and doors were painted (3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, hallway, living room, family room, breakfast room, dining room and kitchen 1825 sq. ft.) The ceilings did not require painting. (Other painters wanted to hand-​paint the doors, but Roly sprays them and they came out as smooth as glass. Roly also caulked the baseboards for us. We asked Roly to remove all hardware from the doors so there would be no chance of getting paint on the hardware, and he gladly accommodated us for a small extra fee. Other painters really balked at this request.
His crew was respectful, hardworking, neat and clean. Not a speck of paint got on the carpet or anywhere it should not have been. We provided lunch for his crew and they were extremely appreciative. We have had two great experiences with Sunset Painting over the years and would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again. Thank you Roly for making this happen within our limited timeframe.

They painted several duets (mine included) in my neighborhood. Easy to work with, nice crew of guys and they did a great job.
I did not have the issue some seemed to have regarding cleanliness, they left my front /​back yards cleaner than when they showed up.

We received several quotes and chose Sunset because they were the lowest quote with the most 5 stars. They were actually almost $ 2,000 under another local Livermore painting contractor. We had our exterior painted and have a regular size 1 level home, so the other quote was just ridiculous to us. I’ll just use the pros and cons list.
Pros:
Best price, professional, on time, workers were considerate and prompt. They did a good job on prepping the house, did lots of minor repairs on the rails, spindles and walls. Took about 4 or 5 days which is what was expected. Did a great job on the painting! Nicely painted, trim looks great, very happy with the job. They also take credit cards which was a plus.
Cons:
The workers were a bit messy. They would leave things lying around, tape, screws, etc. all over the ground and left quite a bit a trash that we had to go around and pick up after the job was done. There was also some feet print in our driveway from the new paint and on the porch so we let them know and they cleaned it up. There was also some over spray in the rocks in our backyard. Nothing too serious, but enough to take back 1 star.

Needed huge bonus room painted. Stuck on color choice. Rolly recommended a color, which I LOVE and get tons of compliments on. He was reasonable, so pleasant to deal with and didn’t bat an eye when I changed the scope of work midstream. Exceptionally professional and top quality work. Will use this company again!!!

We wanted to have our house painted while we were going to be away for a few days. I wanted a quality job from a contractor I could trust as well as a contractor that I would not have to micro-​manage through the process (as I had had to do the last time my house was painted!).
Based on the very positive experience that my neighbor had had with Rolly I decided to hire Sunset to do the job and also the necessary repairs.
Through the entire process Rolly was easy to communicate with and completely professional. As an example, when his crew showed up to power wash the house prior to starting their prep-​work the crew knocked on my door, introduced themselves and told me exactly what they would be doing. This might seem like a little thing but it is emblematic of Sunset’s professional attitude towards their customers.
We were away during the majority of the work done by Sunset. When we returned all the work was completed and I had to really look to see any indication of the fact that Subset had been there at all — the clean up was that good.
The paint work and repairs were all first rate and we are completely satisfied with the results. As an interesting aside, Rolly’s bid was actually less than the cost
of the prior paint job, and Sunset’s work was vastly superior.

We selected Sunset Painting because their price seemed reasonable, but more importantly Rolly and his team were able to squeeze us in last minute to patch some holes and paint our interior walls shortly after we closed on a short sale in need of TLC. Rolly’s crew were very professional and friendly, and they did an awesome job patching and texturing holes and painting the interior walls. We will definitely look to Sunset Painting for future paint work, and have already recommended them to my parents for their next project.

We hired Rolly to paint all of our cabinetry about 1.5 years ago. It happened to rain while they were in the middle of the job and they continued to paint. We noticed after the cabinets were put back together that the cabinets remained sticky (still sticky to this day) and began to peel. The cabinet doors were also put together so poorly that we have gaps between them and they rub together in some areas. We have attempted to call him a number of times and he has never returned the call. I notice that his reviews for painting walls is good, maybe not so good for cabinetry or follow up on concerns.

We have a large home with a lot of trim and a separate garage. I am extremely pleased with the job Sunset did for us. They were very polite, hard working, and I feel they did a really good job. Rolly helped pick colors that were a perfect match for our old colors, and I could not be happier with them. I received several quotes on our house (5) and had one contractor not even bother to show up. I’m so glad we decided to go with Sunset. I have recommended them to all our friends and neighbors. Even my very picky husband was pleased with the job, which was a great relief to me!

We recently bought a new home in San Ramon and decided to get the walls painted. Since it’s our first home, I had no idea how much painting would cost and figured the only way to learn was to get bids from painters. That’s where Unilocal came in. We called another local painter whom we found on Unilocal and shall remain unnamed. He stopped by for a bid and unfortunately we did not enjoy his «sales-​y» tactics. For one, he was there for an hour and a half to look at a 720 sq foot condo– as if I don’t have other things to do than sit here and listen to you complain about how it’s a tough industry to be in. Second, he kept saying things like «this is such a small job, I don’t know if it’s worth my team coming out here» and «how much are you willing to pay»? To say the least, we were not impressed.
After doing more research on Unilocal,we decided to call Rolly and were delighted when he was able to come for a same day estimate. He showed up with his adorably handsome 20-​something year old son and they were fast and accurate while doing their walk through. Not to mention, it was adorable watching him teach his son what he was doing throughout the whole process. As soon as he left, we knew we wanted him to paint our house and we didn’t need any more estimates. After coming back to us with a price point a little higher than expected and us countering, he was able to match our budget and get started ASAP, which was a huge selling point for us.
Throughout the entire prep process, he was efficient and available. He responded to emails within hours and was always flexible when we were being picky (ex: Kelly Moore paint for the bedroom, Valspar paint for the living room). His brother and son showed up a couple days early to review the contract and pick up the colors from us. They were very organized and exact while filing out the forms, which helped since we’re new at the whole process.
Since the rest of the process was so flawless, we were so excited to have Rolly in on PAINT DAY! His team showed up right on time and immediately got to work. It only took them a couple hours to tape and cover all the furniture, and we were really impressed since the other painter had estimated it would take his team half a day just to prep! Rolly had his team come for 2.5 days but informed us that we did not need to be there during the painting. Since we didn’t have many valuables in the home, we didn’t mind opening the door and leaving them there while we were at work. The result? Coming home to a beautifully done home! They were not only professional and efficient, but they did an amazing job.
Thank you Rolly for being so flexible with us and for making our first home beautiful !

Rolly is the most professional person I have met. He under promises and over delivers. Twice he has painted our home in the last 7 years. His paint team is fast and does a great job. He does a walk thru after and will not accept payment unless you are happy. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for interior or exterior painting. Also he is very cost effective and for once the lowest bid with the best work! I only hope he does not raise his prices the next time around. Also your credit card is welcome. Also only a 20% deposit.

Sunset painted our home exterior two years ago and did an excellent job at a very fair price. Rolly is professional and took the time necessary to follow up and address our questions. He is thorough and made sure we were completely satisfied with the quality of the work. He and his crew also stained our back patio overhang with a Cabot solid stain he recommended. The wood is now protected and looks fabulous. I have referred him to clients who have had a similar experience.

Strongest possible endorsement: professional, excellent work, reasonable price. Rolly’s crew did the exterior of our house in 4 days, including replacement of some rotten wood trim — several more pieces than originally quoted. They even repainted an old decorative bench and separate small picket fence at no extra charge. I will definitely use them again.

We chose Sunset to paint our homes interior after getting 5 bids. Sunset’s bid was competitive and the owner, Rolly, was professional and on time. Though the other painters also have positive reviews, Rolly was the only 1 to follow up and see if I had more questions.
His crew painted about 75% of our 2200 sq ft home — walls, all trim/​doors, 1 ceiling. We also have vaulted ceilings. They came on time every day, kept things as clean as they could, taped things off well. They also moved all the furniture around + put it back (including an upright piano), took pictures down and then re-​hung them when they were done. They painted well — good sharp edges, nice trim, and they touched up anything we pointed out.
My wife was in and out constantly with 2 young kids and a baby. They worked around her as best they could without a complaint. Overall — a positive experience.

We were very pleased with the price, quality, and timeliness of our paint job. Wow, they painted our 2-​story 2500 sq ft home in 3-​days.

We needed the interior of our home painted, top to bottom. We had marks on the walls, poor color choices (lavender in a guest room), and wanted some fresh colors overall. I chose Sunset Painting out of the phone book and after meeting with a total of 3 paint contractors from our area, decided this business was the one to go with. The owner is Rolly and he is very nice, upfront, and his price was reasonable. Once we confirmed the job with him, he provided a color consultation and we walked through our house for an hour discussing our ideas and making final decisions on colors. His crew arrived when they said they would the first work day and spent 5+ days prepping, painting and then cleaning up. They did a great job on all painting. My husband and I did a walk-​through before their final morning to see what flaws we could find that needed to be touched up and found hardly any (we have a 2 story 3 bedroom home). While here the crew was courteous and efficient. They arrived on time and left between 4:30 and 5 each day. We are thrilled with the results of our newly painted home and feel that Sunset Painting was an excellent value.
