Finding the best painting contractor near you in the San Jose area doesn't have to be hard.
Do you want “good enough”? Or do you want great from the painting company you hire?
There is definitely a difference in the way painting contractors in the San Jose area work. Many just want to get that house painted in as short of time as possible to make the most profit.
And for some homeowners here in San Jose that is fine because it means less money out of pocket – that is, until they have to do it over because the color turned out to be all wrong and they had to do it over – or the paint started peeling because it wasn’t prepared correctly – or their real estate agent tells them the quality of the work devalues their home, or any number of things that can go wrong with a paint job.
Sadly, those things do happen, but that’s not the way we paint.
We don’t sacrifice quality on any painting job to make a dime.


There are never regrets when you hire our painting company to paint your home or business in the San Jose area –
On every painting job we do, we won’t settle for anything less that great. And while we are not the cheapest – because great work can’t be, our prices are not the most expensive either. They’re fair and reasonable for the quality you get, plus you get results that last, making your ROI even greater.
We also pay our workers a good wage so they stick around and keep on improving their painting skills. What that means for you is you get the best labor available. They’re experienced, skilled, honest, and reliable.
So if you’re looking for a San Jose painter for your house or office space, call Jennifer Davis Painting.
Customer Testimonial
"Compared to multiple professionals and methods we have tried, they are just the BEST. "
We bought this Santa Cruz gem with sweeping views of the Monterey Bay, but totally outdated, with wallpaper and popcorn ceilings from the 60’s. Being so frugal, we sacrificed an entire Christmas break to scrape, texture and paint back bedrooms. It was heartbreaking to be so disappointed with the results.
Not only did the the texture style not match the house, it didn’t sufficiently bond with the ceilings, so we had cracking and crumbling.
In desperation (and with pinched nerves in my neck), I called Jennifer Davis to help fix our mess, and do the kitchen and living/dining rooms.
After seeing these more public rooms transformed, I couldn’t settle for less anywhere in the house. We hired Jennifer Davis and her crew to re-texture and re-paint every room. It made such a difference to have painting-specific professionals do what we and other general contractors had tried to do; I only wish I hadn’t wasted so much time and money before hiring them.
Things that set them apart from other contractors include:
Knowledge: Jennifer held my hand through a color consultation that was eye-opening, taking care to emphasize natural light and compliment all other pieces of the aesthetics puzzle–including current trends. She also saved me from installing the wrong windows and trim.
Punctuality & Dependability: to minimize the disruption of the massive undertaking of painting. They make it easy for you.
Professionalism: Jennifer and her crew have good boundaries that minimize the invasive nature of being in your home. They put down drop cloths, of course, but they also put up barrier walls to contain the dust, smells and mess of the job.
Quality and Skill: Compared to multiple professionals and methods we have tried, they are just the BEST. We found a roof leak when we were re-doing the ceilings, and Jennifer’s crew replaced the drywall (complete with flawless holes cut for recessed lighting) before texturing. They also do trim!
Efficiency: Jennifer has the man/woman power and equipment necessary to get the job done instead of stretching it out for days/weeks. This really minimizes life disruption.
I’m so grateful my costly search has ended.
Cabinet Painting FAQs
The last painter did a terrible job. The paint is lumpy. Can I repaint?
I’m so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately it’s not uncommon. Painting wood cabinets requires a lot of prep to get a smooth finish, and not all painters want to spend the time, nor do homeowners want the expense.
To answer your question, I’ve seen some finishes that were not repairable, or at least, it would have been cheaper to replace the cabinets. That’s pretty extreme though.
I can’t answer this question here without seeing the condition. If you’re in Santa Clara or Santa Cruz County, please give me a call and I will let you know. Otherwise, please call a local cabinet painter to make an assessment.
Can I go back to a wood stain if I don't like the paint?
Because of what’s involved to remove the paint, in most cases the answer is no unless you replace the doors and draw fronts too.
What is the biggest mistake cabinet painters make?
I don’t even have to think about this question. The answer is in the prep. The paint must stick and it must be smooth. You can’t achieve either one without proper prep. See the first question here.
Here at Jennifer Davis Painting, we prioritize the prep because we want you happy with the results and we want the paint to last for a very long time. It comes with a cost, but we do believe it’s cheaper to do it right the first time, than to have to go back and do it all over again later because it doesn’t hold up and looks terrible.
Why paint my cabinets when I can just replace?
I believe we answered that question on this page already, but to summarize:
- It’s cheaper to paint cabinets than replace;
- There is no need to replace unless you want to change the layout of your kitchen;
- If you want a different look, you can achieve that by just replacing the doors and drawer fronts rather than replacing the entire cabinet.
- There is less waste and therefor more environmentally friendly.
What will it cost to paint my cabinets?
