Gruber Painting provides a complete range of interior and exterior painting services for residential and commercial clients in San Mateo, Alameda, and Santa Clara Counties. The company has the training and equipment to paint all types of surfaces (including cabinetry), and it backs all its work with a comprehensive five-year warranty.
Owner Joel Gruber says Gruber Painting’s dedication to customer satisfaction has been a key factor in its success. “We genuinely care about the outcome of every painting project, so we take extra steps to ensure the quality of our work. Ultimately, we want our customers to have great experiences and feel like they got the best possible value for their money.”
Gruber Painting emphasizes clear communication throughout every phase of the painting process, which Mr. Gruber says is important for ensuring first-rate results. “We check in with our clients constantly during their jobs to make sure everything is going smoothly. We understand that home improvement projects can be stressful, so we make sure our customers are well-informed and treat them and their properties with the utmost respect.”
“We strive for quality, cleanliness and customer satisfaction in everything that we do. Our goal is to build a positive, long-term relationship with every client, so we focus on maintaining high standards for quality control and finishing each project on time and within budget.”
Choosing the right paint color for your house is all about personal preference.
Your home’s architectural design can help dictate which paint colors will fit best, but ultimately, it’s a matter of taste. Some people prefer to “warm” their living spaces with oranges, reds and pinks, while others prefer the calm, serene effect of blues, greens and purples. However, even white paint can take on warm or cool tones depending on the subtle colors that are mixed in, so in order to achieve the exact look you want, you should consider working with a professional color consultant.
There are thousands of pre-mixed paint shades available to purchase at retail paint stores, but you don’t have to choose a color that already exists or settle for a shade that doesn’t quite match your existing paint. Visit your local paint store or hire a painting contractor to receive custom color formulation and color matching services.
If you find the perfect color at a paint store, get a sample and write down the brand, grade and color so your painting contractor can find that exact shade. Also, after you’ve made your choice, look at the paint sample in the natural light of your home during different times of the day to determine if it’s the right fit before painting begins. Ask your contractor to apply a sample in the room to be painted so you can live with the color for a while and confirm you’ve made the right choice.
If environmental responsibility is important to you, consider choosing a paint product that’s low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Not only are these paints more environmentally friendly, they’re also relatively odorless, which can be a big benefit to people who have to live in their homes while painting is underway.
“There are also many oil-water hybrid products coming out that provide a harder, more durable finish while still falling into that low-VOC category,” adds Joel Gruber, owner of Gruber Painting in Mountain View. “In fact, one of my favorite all-purpose primers to come out in recent years is an oil-water hybrid. That type of paint technology is constantly improving—it provides the same quality as oil finishes from the ’50s and ’60s, but with environmentally-friendly benefits.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for painting contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Gruber Painting, the key to keeping clients happy is simple: draw upon its professionalism and experience to provide them with the best possible quality. “We know people have a lot of options when it comes to painters, so we focus on setting ourselves apart through the quality of our work and customer service,” says owner Joel Gruber. “At the end of the day, our clients want a smooth, stress-free experience, and that’s exactly what we provide.”
Gruber Painting has been providing interior and exterior painting services for residential and commercial clients in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties since 2009. The company has the in-house capabilities to paint all types of surfaces (including cabinetry), and it backs each project with a comprehensive five-year warranty.
Unlike less experienced painting contractors that take on as many jobs as possible and create scheduling issues for their clients as a result, Gruber Painting focuses on fulfilling each customer’s needs in a timely manner. “Most people need their painting projects completed by a certain date, so we always make sure we’re on schedule with every aspect of our work,” says Mr. Gruber. “Ultimately, our goal is to achieve a high level of quality without adding any stress for the client, and the best way to accomplish that is to prioritize staying on schedule.”
Another distinguishing attribute of Gruber Painting is its company-wide dedication to quality control, which Mr. Gruber says is important for achieving first-rate results. “At the end of every project, we do a walkthrough to look for any necessary touch-ups and make sure the client is happy with our work. We even give them a handwritten review form that includes our in-house rating system and a comment card, which allows us to further confirm their satisfaction.”
