Marcio

Marcio and his team were top notch: Marcio scoped and cost estimated our project really well. And very fairly. The day of the work, the team arrived just a little before the time they said they would, took exactly the amount of time we discussed and were absolutely conscientious about our space and home. To top it off, everyone was just so easy to work with, super nice and smiled the entire time. Having worked with a fair amount of different vendors in our house (painting, roofing, plumbing, et al.) I couldn’t recommend Marcio more strongly! Enthusiastic 5 stars.

Marcio, Tom, and their crew of Luiz, Victor, & Angelo were awesome. They painted most of the interior of our West Portal, SF home, and they refinished our wooden dining room paneling. We got about 5 painting estimates beforehand, since it was a relatively big job. Ceilings and trim needed to be done in addition to the walls, and there was a fair bit of sanding. Their estimate was reasonable — I would say an excellent value, actually. I feel like we 100% made the right choice for this job.
They were extremely reliable, coming every day (even some weekend days when they realized we were eager to finish). We trusted the whole crew and felt comfortable leaving them in charge of our house. They were very respectful of our things, covering the floors and taping everything very carefully. Painting a furnished home with 6 people living in it is really not easy… but they did it with skill and care. They were very responsive to our requests and feedback, and seemed to genuinely care about the quality of the job and our perception of it. I found interactions with everyone on the team to be very pleasant. They had great follow-​through to the end. Our home looks amazing now, thanks to them.
We have a nearly 100-​year-​old house, and we have hired MANY contractors over the years, literally dozens. These guys are absolutely among the best people we’ve ever hired — top-​notch. We couldn’t be more pleased, and we’d hire them again in a heartbeat. You’re lucky you’ve found them!

Made an appointment for an estimate visit. Marcio was a no show, and didn’t call to inform me. I called him after waiting for 30 minutes, left a message and never heard back from him…

Had a really great experience with Marcio and his team! Their work is good quality and also fast! They paid a lot of attention to the details too. We had a place that was 1200sqf, they painted the whole apartment in less than 5 days, which is pretty impressive with a reasonable price. Besides paint the wall & calling, we were also requesting some trim work and paint in our walk in closet with the system already built in. They protect our floor well. And cleaned everything after the project. Definitely recommended!

Everything about hiring Marcio da Silva is great.
– His estimate was no nonsense and fair
– He was available to do the work right away
– Every call was returned promptly, every appointment was on time
– His crew were talented, pleasant professionals
– Marcio supervised the job start, checked in midday, and was there at the end to review
– The work (SF interior, lots of Victorian details and color matching) was just fantastic
Do not hesitate to hire Marcio.

We needed a ceiling painted in our foyer and hall. The foyer and hall has a special finish paint on the walls, ornate mahogany crown moldings and wainscoting and a new cherry hardwood flooring, so I needed a painter who would not get paint on any of those surfaces. A VERY precise and neat painter.
Marcio’s team (Alex & Alijandro) first masked all the flooring, then masked the walls with a clear film – before painting the ceiling. The did a perfect job.
We also had them paint 2 bedrooms, including the woodwork in the bedrooms. The woodwork painting was beautiful – no brush marks and nothing on the hardware!
Not only did they do a GREAT job painting, but went above and beyond the job scope, by taking apart and then putting back together a massive bed which had large cabinets attached. After the paint job, I had new carpet installed in the bedrooms and they came back to put together that huge bed!!!
Outstanding job performance and customer service. I highly recommend Marcio’s Painters!

Marcio did a very good exterior painting of my duplex. The guys are prompt and always on time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a painting job.

I have now used Marcio twice and I will use him again! His painting quote (for a bunch of interior rooms) came in WAY under three other painters I looked into, and he and his guys did a fantastic job both times, with an excellent clean-​up job to boot. Highly recommended (at least for interior wall painting)

Marcio did a great job for us! We are putting our condo on the market and needed a complete overhaul on the paint – hadn’t been done in years. He was able to come by on short notice for an estimate (very reasonable) and then complete the job within the following week! This was great because we were under deadlines with our realtor, stagers, etc.
The quality of the work was excellent! And, when we went through the house and noticed we hadn’t originally talked about painting the inside of the master bedroom closet, Marcio went to his truck, got some paint, came back inside and PAINTED THE INSIDE OF THE CLOSET right then and there! He had no qualms about doing it and was able to do an excellent job right on the spot! He also did some various handy jobs for us (caulking the bathtub, installing some faucets) and we were very happy with this service as well.
I’d recommend Marcio to anyone who needs work done around the house – he will take care of anything you ask (reasonable requests only I’m sure ;-))

Hand down the best paint job we have ever seen. We need a last minute paint job for our condo before puttting it up for sale on the market. We didn’t realize it was such a busy season, called multiple places but they were all busy. Marcio was very accommondating. He didn’t want to over promise and gave us a realistic completion timeline. At the end he and his team worked over the weekend and completed the job ahead of schedule. The quality is superb and dust/​paint controls were excellent as well. Our place looks brand-​new afterwards. It made us even rethinking about staging because the paint job itself really made the place look like million bucks. Definitely worth the investment. Pricing is very reasonable as well. Thanks Marcio for the awesome job!

BEST PAINTER EVER! I’ve done a lot of remodels and flips, and I’ve seen a lot of work. I decided to quickly list my condo in Pacific Heights, and I got 4 estimates. Marcio’s was very fair, and we was able to quickly and flawlessly paint my entire condo in 2 long days. I had very dark paint on my walls, and he was able to brighten it up to a dove gray with no problems. Top notch work.
His technique was flawless, no smudges or rough lines. Absolute perfection, and I’m not easy to please.
To top it off he came in this morning at 7:30 to help hang my new blinds before my 9:30 AM brokers’ tour. What service!!! Did I mention what a great guy he is?
I think he’s the best, I would recommend him over and over again, and I’m sad that I just found him as I’m leaving for New York.
Hire Marcio! He’s the BEST PAINTER EVER!

Marcio and his team are a highly professional team. Quality work. 5 years ago it was hard and expensive to find a painter to paint my new place, Marcio came to the rescue. 5 years later and married, my wife wanted to add her touch to my bachelor pad and had him update our place. His team is detail oriented, highly skilled and fast. Highly recommended and worth the wait in booking him if you have to. 5 stars!

Marcio and his team painted our baby nursery and did an excellent job! They were prompt, courteous, clean and incredibly thorough. I am such a task master I usually want to do touch ups after anyone paints my home, but that was not needed with these guys, the job was completed perfectly! They offered the best price and were the most responsive and friendly as well.

Marcio and his team did a fantastic job painting several walls in our two condos. When I initially called for a quote and left a message, his assistant returned my call within the next business day, and set up an appointment right away. We felt their estimated price was fair, and we were able to schedule the paint job within a few days.
On the day of, they arrived on time and were fast, efficient and clean. At no extra cost, they also did a lot of touch ups (scratches and holes) for us and they ended up even painting our living room wall complementary.
The only critique is that some of the edges and corners came out a little bit sloppy, but nothing you would notice unless you got up really close to the wall. No big deal, just something I would ask them to look out for in future jobs.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a paint job in the city!

We have worked with Marcio and his team a couple of times now. The first time was when we were doing a kitchen and bathroom remodel. We found Marcio was much more reasonable than our contractor who was doing the remodel. The second time we used him to paint our outside deck and patio. More recently to pain the master bedroom. He is prompt and courteous. And his team does a great job with the painting and cleaning up after they are done. We plan to use him for our future projects and would highly recommend him.

We recently bought a house (3br/​2ba) in the Sunset that needed an aesthetic overhaul. The previous owner was a contractor, so the house is in tip-​top condition, but the look of it was not our cup of tea. So, we called around and got quotes for the entire interior and exterior to be painted.
Long story short, Marcio was the most prompt, responsive nicest painter that bid on our house. His pricing is very competitive and there may be some wiggle room in negotiations, but YMMV.
He gave a timeline of when he can start and when he will finish. His crew, like him, was prompt and respectful of our space (even though we weren’t living there yet). For our kitchen cabinets, all the cabinet doors were removed and painted separately.
An important note, near completion of the interior, we had to have our hardwood floors refinished. For those that know, that is a very dusty job. While we communicated to both Marcio and our flooring guy that we would need them to work together (we had a move-​in deadline that we couldn’t reschedule) to make sure the work gets done in time for our move in date. Our floor guy told us that he would clean up, but the clean up wouldn’t be a deep cleaning. When we went to inspect the floors when he was done, everything looked relatively clean… some dust as expected, but nothing significant. Paint on the walls looked fine.
Well, it turns out that Marcio had actually gone back to the house after the floors were finished and noticed that dust had gotten all over the freshly painted walls in the living room (this is the room that made the job take longer than expected, because more coats were needed to blend out the previous color completely). I don’t think the paint was super wet – probably just enough for dust to be noticeable (I THINK).
Marcio informed us after the fact that he cleaned /​touched up the walls, which is why everything looked fine when we went to inspect the house after the floors were done. He did this without asking for a dime because he cares about the quality of his work, despite it not being his fault. This revealed to me that Marcio is a man of integrity.
All in all, the house looks fantastic, immaculate.
I feel he is one of the most underrated painters on Unilocal,despite all the great reviews. Highly, highly recommend.

Marcio and his team are fantastic. They did a great job painting my 2bd/​2ba unit in SF. I had them paint everything — moldings, closets, cabinets, ceilings, etc and it looks beautiful! He arrived and finished on time and in budget. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Marcio.

I wish I had known about Marcio in the first place: I couldn’t have hoped to work with a better painter. I’d painted a bunch of new baseboards in my two-​bedroom place by myself before installing them, but (to make a long story short) I screwed up quite a bit. It was a tricky job, but Marcio and his team came in and not only quoted me a reasonable price — he sanded, primed, and painted everything within a reasonable time frame and with fantastic quality work. All while being a likeable guy with a team that was courteous, clean, and respectful of the environment they were in. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

The exterior of our house is mainly stucco. Some paint was peeling off so it needed quite a bit of prep work as well as painting. Also, we had water damage and cracks in the dining room so the entire room plus foyer had to be painted. Being a careful consumer, I sought 6 bids for the painting of our house. Marcio’s bid was one of the most competitive.
In addition, he was easy to get a hold of, responded to phone and text messages promptly, and provided us with several houses to look at that he had painted. We visited those houses and took photos. I asked him questions about them and he answered in a straightforward, non-​defensive manner. I asked him to go over the contract and he was amenable to modifications.
He had two workers and they were very pleasant, congenial and cheerful. The work took about a week longer than expected, but we didn’t really mind. (They spent a week just prepping, which is really important.) They were careful with our many bushes and plants adjacent to the house.
As for the interior, we didn’t have to move a single piece of furniture ourselves (some of the other painters asked us to do that). They left the wiring of our computers intact. And the color match was perfect.
The house is really attractive now, and so is the dining room. Thanks, Marcio! You’re at the top of our list!

Marcio is a fantastic painter and I would hire him again. He gave a very competitive price and did a great job painting the tall walls. He was even nice enough to replace a light bulb that burned out in a hard-​to-​reach place using the tall ladder he brought to do the painting.
The best thing about Marcio is that he’s a great communicator. He returns calls and emails promptly, and discusses the details of the job in a way that makes sense so you know what you’re going to get.
