From the first contact to engage his services to the project completion communication, Jesse was prompt in responding and clearly set expectations for every milestone of the project. His staff is professional and did an excellent job. The exterior of the house is beautiful. I really appreciated that he made recommendations as to little touches that enhanced the look of the house. It was such a pleasure working with Jesse. He instilled a justified confidence that I would be very happy with the finished product…and, I certainly was! You won’t go wrong hiring Jesse McCandless Painting.Posted on Mark SlezakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Review for Jesse McCandless Painting I can’t recommend Jesse McCandless Painting enough! From start to finish, Jesse demonstrated top-notch professionalism and attention to detail. His communication was excellent, providing daily updates throughout the project so I always knew what to expect. Jesse and his team kept the job site immaculately clean, which I greatly appreciated. Not only did he deliver a flawless painting job, but he also went above and beyond by addressing areas of rotted wood and ensuring the necessary prep work was done to perfection. When the project was completed, Jesse took the time to put everything back in its place as if he’d never been there—except, of course, for the beautifully painted surfaces! I am very thankful for the outstanding work and the care he put into every detail. If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable, and professional painter, Jesse is the one to call!Posted on ZSBvidsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Jesse back in the summer 2022. I was his first “official” employee. I had never painted before, Jesse was very patient as he trained me and I learned the ropes. I made a lot of mistakes and I was not the perfect employee but he was super understanding and knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. One thing to know about Jesse is his customers come first! He always strived to make sure everything was absolutely perfect, or as good as it could possibly be. If he ever made a mistake he would always fix it and he was always honest and up front with his customers on pricing, job timeline, repairs, etc… Jesse was a great employer even when I was not the best employee. I would 100% recommend!Posted on Gloria YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi all! We have just finished the process of having our entire exterior painted. Some of you may know our house in the 4th fairway. We get lots of sun and the painted had faded quite a bit. Jesse’s crew did a really beautiful job. The leads, Jon and Josh, were polite and respectful, and knew what they were doing. The prep work they did—removing fixtures, taping, tarping, etc.—really led to a beautiful finished paint job. We will definitely use them again!Posted on Tom McDonnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse‘s crew was very professional, their service includes a lot of maintenance to the house that goes above and beyond the duty of painting. Once the work started, they were fast, efficient, and delivered a very nice finished product. They painted the whole house, recaulked a lot of failing parts of the outer wall, and kept it a pretty clean. Thanks🙏🎨🖌️Posted on Robert LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. McCandless Painting did a great job of painting and touching up after our window installation.

Thanks McCandless PaintingPosted on Mette GriffithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly Recommend Jesse McCandless Painting. They worked tirelessly at my home making sure everything looked perfect. The interior doors on our newly purchased home kept peeling and Jesse and his team would not give up. They made sure the quality was top notch and kept in great communication the whole time, keeping me updated and talking me through the problem and the solutions. They made it happen and I'm very impressed with their work. Highly Recommend and will use again for any of my painting needs.Posted on Audrey ProuseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible company!

Highly recommend to everyone.😊Posted on Hector KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse's crew painted and repaired the exterior backside of my airplane hangar -- which was quite weather beaten. Even though it was a difficult job, Jesse took the initiative and went above and beyond from what the contract stipulated, in order to do it right and achieve perfect results. Jesse's dedication and commitment to high quality and customer satisfaction is unmatched. Am very happy with the results. He's now my first choice for any future painting projects.Posted on Jeff MorssTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
