PaintGreen was founded by Jon Ray, who has been painting since 1996. Jon ran a student painting franchise while going to business school at Seattle Pacific University. During this time, he learned that providing quality work and operating in an environment of integrity earned him referrals, was a great way to grow a business, and matched his personal values.
After a few years in Phoenix, AZ, Jon came to San Diego and realized there was an opportunity for an environmentally-friendly painting company. He founded PaintGreen in 2006. In an industry where unethical behavior is far too common, Jon built PaintGreen in what he likes to call "an environment of integrity."

This is the second time I've used PaintGreen. The first was a one room interior paint and I was impressed with their professionalism and the quality of their work. So when we needed an exterior paint job of our large art deco home I called Jon. Jon responded immediately, provided a fair quote in writing the next day and scheduled the work. He came by with the lead crew person to introduce him. The team did an excellent job, were polite, respectful and took great pride in their work. An excellent company. I highly recommend them.

Jon Ray the owner of PaintGreen was great from start to finish and his crew was outstanding. Professional, neat, accommodating, great attention to detail and did an outstanding job painting the exterior of our stucco house. The project started and ended on time, which was also a big plus and my house looks so much better. Plus the company provides the longest warranty and comes back at no charge to do touch ups.

Paint Green painted our condo and did extensive repair to our ceiling and wallboard. Their work was of the highest quality and we couldn't be more pleased. Jon Ray, the owner was knowledgeable, professional and very focused on what we needed and wanted as the customer. Also, when asked, he had some very helpful suggestions. His team of Francisco and Victor were experienced, courteous and helpful.
The quality of their work exceeded our expectations and they left the place cleaner than when they started. I highly recommend them if you want the job done well. Thank you Paint Green!

Paint Green did a fantastic job at our condo last week! We needed to have a lot of ceiling and wallboard work done as well as painting our unit and Jon Ray's team did everything perfectly. Francisco, the job supervisor made sure everything was cleaned up afterwards leaving our condo looking cleaner than when we left it! Thanks Paint Green for exceeding our expectations!

Jon and his PaintGreen company are amazing! His crew were on time every day and did a stellar job. They were professional, polite and courteous. And at the end of each day's work, they cleaned up and ensured that whatever tools or product that were being left on site were stored safely out of the way. But best of all was the quality of their work. If you are looking to hire someone to paint your home, we highly recommend that you give Jon a call. You won't be disappointed.

Jon and PaintGreen exceeded my expectations. They were responsive and responsible at every turn. Jon understands the value of customer service and the importance of detail in his craft. Everything from their technique to their recommended paint venders selection was top quality. When there was an unexpected issue they came out within a day to tend to it and try to resolve it. I wouldn't hesitate in choosing Jon and PaintGreen. They are well worth the price. You would be hard pressed to do better with another company.

Wow! Jon Ray and his team at PaintGreen were awesome! They showed up on time and worked hard to get the job done. Jon stayed in close communication with us. The quote matched the actual cost, so there were no surprises. We felt the pricing was very reasonable and the quality of work was top notch with warranty. We are hooked and will not go anywhere else for our painting needs. Thank you so much, PaintGreen! We appreciate you!

PaintGreen is in the top 5% contractors and you will be glad you choose them for your project. They did a 2 weeks interior finishes paint job with a crew of 3 people in our home while our family was working and studying. The quality of the work is top notch. They way they handled the constraint of us living and working in the home was even better.
They were super well organized, quiet, and flexible in adapting to our constraints. I did an entire home remodel and worked with dozens of contractors. It's a blessing to work with contractors like PaintGreen.

I highly recommend PaintGreen - they did an excellent job. Jon and his team were easy to work with and very friendly. We had received multiple bids to repaint the exterior of our house and PaintGreen was very competitively price and Jon was knowledgeable and professional during the bid process. The crew, led by Esaul, were very easy to work with and around - they were proactive about touching up anywhere necessary, cleaned up well after each day and in general - did a fantastic job.

I hired PaintGreen to encapsulate "popcorn" ceilings in three bedrooms because they contained traces of asbestos. The work took a couple of days extra because the drying time was longer than originally anticipated and that delayed the repainting. The workers were professional at all times and the job site was clean when they left. I also saved $90 by paying in cash.

Jon came to my place, and helped me sort out the clustered vision that I had for my place. At no xtra cost he helped me pick out colors that he thought matched well with what I wanted. His crew were polite, hardworking, and answered all of my questions. My place looks better than I could have imagined. Thank you guys.

We hired Paint Green to do some more painting! Esaul came back out with Osiel and did a fantastic paint job! They were very diligent about Covid safety procedures and are extremely hard workers. Jon's pricing is very reasonable and we can do other things now that this big project is completed! Thank you Paint Green!

Jon and his team recently painted the exterior of our historic property. The PaintGreen team was extremely professional, courteous, tidy, communicative and worked consecutive days from start to finish. The team took great interest and pride in their work. PaintGreen considered our preference and provided good recommendation and alternatives. Preparing the building for painting was done exceptionally well: wood, stucco, concrete, metal. We trusted Jon and his team. We received very efficient and high-value workmanship. We were rewarded with a beautiful paintcrafted property. JJ

Absolutely love these guys. Had them out for a day and had a long list of random jobs - paint these base boards, paint this closet, paint these doors, etc. They knocked it out so fast, I was going around trying to find more work. They were clean, professional, and the paint looks great. Will hire again.

Definitely would recommend. I had PaintGreen do the interior of my condo including all the walls/ceilings for my kitchen, living room, and my vaulted stairway. In the beginning, Jon (the owner) came over for the estimate/quote and he was incredibly professional and useful. He was on time, offered great suggestions and was able to give me a timetable for the job that was convenient for my own benefit.
On the day of the job, he introduced me to the crew, and I was able to communicate well with the team. I was able to request certain improvements/"tidying-up" spots on the job and the crew was very professional, non-confrontational and performed my requests with care. basically, they didnt give me any s*** for the very few things I wanted done/redone, and it ended up very nicely. I only have positive things to say, and would definitely recommend Jon and PaintGreen.

Paint Green transformed my home to exactly what I dreamed about. Sergio G. And his crew was very professional, friendly, hard working and did everything to make the process as smooth as possible given huge amount of work they had to do ( roughly 120+ cabinet doors, 14 doors, two bedrooms and two bathrooms and stair railings) Reasonably priced. What I appreciated the most is that both Sergio and The owner Jon were always communicating with me on the progress, potential issues, and the outcomes.
They are trustworthy and will do anything to make you happy with he end results. Very honest business and will definitely hire them in the future and recommend to my friends and family members with no hesitation. Thank you Sergio, Valente, Jesus and of course Jon!

Great experience with Jon and the team at PaintGreen. Contacted them last week to paint several rooms in my house. Jon came round the next day to review the work to be done and gave me a reasonable bid later that night, including several options for possible additional work. They were able to come in this week due to another of their jobs being rescheduled. Sergio, Valente and Matthew came in and cranked through everything in two and a half days.
They were on time, professional, communicative about the work to be done each day, prepped the rooms and furniture so nothing ruined, and cleaned up most of the mess at the end of every day with a full cleanup at the end. Now our old house looks like new! Overall I was super impressed with the whole team and would definitely recommend them. Thanks, guys!

We had a great experience with PaintGreen. They painted the interior of our new house from top to bottom, including the kitchen cabinets, and they really transformed the place from dated and dingy into contemporary and beautiful. The owner, Jon, is a very professional and patient guy who helped us pick the right shades, gently guiding me back on track when I tried to go off the rails with something too dark.
He got us a decent quote right away and they got started pretty soon after we signed the contract. Sergio and his crew are super skilled painters and did a masterful job. It was a big job and took 2 weeks, but I'm glad they didn't rush through it because the results are awesome.

PaintGreen did an excellent job painting the interior of our new house from top to bottom, including the kitchen cabinets. The estimate was competitive with another reputable company and Jon the owner helped us choose the right colors for us. The process went smoothly, everyone in the crew was courteous and professional, and we are extremely pleased with the results. I'll be calling them back when it's time to paint the exterior.

The entire crew was exceptional and highly professional. Jon showed up on time for the estimate and worked with me on different options. He presented all his licensing, insurance and other important documentation without even being asked. Communication was on point and very clear. Sergio and Valente were the crew members that did the work. They were excellent and always communicated with me along the way.
They were very careful and cleaned up after themselves each day. We had zero issues during the whole process but based on the experience I had, I'm certain they'd handle any unforeseen issues professionally and in a timely manner if they had occurred. I give my full endorsement and would recommend to anyone in need of painting. I'll be using them on all future projects. Well done!

I'm very happy that I chose Paint Green to paint the exterior of my house. The painters arrived on schedule every day, were well organized and cleaned up the areas where they worked before leaving for the day. They took the time to consult with me if there were any question areas. I appreciate that they used paint that was of high quality and which left my house looking beautiful. Jon was very helpful in explaining how the work would proceed and the length of time it would take.

Crew was very reliable and efficient. Originally hired PaintGreen to refresh my 1913 wood windows and they came out great, while keeping the character of the home. Such a quality job and attention to detail that I hired them to paint the Exterior Walls of the home as well. Would work with them again and highly recommended. Jon and crew knew was I on a time crunch for completing the projects and were able accommodate very quickly.

Paint Green is wonderful! I would recommend them any time! I was pretty overwhelmed when it came to picking the colors for my project - Chad helped me and suggested an amazing accent wall color that he had done for another client. I am very happy with it and would have never come up with that myself. The communication was easy and efficient, the job was done very professional.

Terrific workers. They did a wonderful job removing almost a century of lead based paint on the exterior of our craftsman house. The paint job itself is perfect and foreman Jose is exactly the kind of perfectionist you want painting your house. The price was reasonable for the amount of labor involved. We were 100% satisfied with this company.

I hired Jon and his team to paint a hallway in my town home and my daughters bedroom. They came into my house and were absolute professionals painting my house. I would highly recommend them for any painting needs. I am very pleased with their quality of work. Top notch in every sense of the word. I am looking forward to working then Jon again to paint my bedroom.

We weren't there during the week of painting but felt comfortable that our home was in capable hands. Ron was always available by phone and helped us resolve any questions or concerns we had. We are incredibly pleased with the work Ron did. He completed all the details requested and was always pleasant to work with.

I can't recommend this firm highly enough. Their estimate was competitive, especially since I knew of their high-quality materials, warranty, personalized service, and environmental consciousness. Ryan was helpful, fun to talk with, and extremely connected to the best paint-color matchers in San Diego. He put in extra time to get our very particular colors right.

I'm currently in the middle of my second painting job with Paint Green and they are wonderful. I initially hired Paint Greet for a corporate job. They painted our entire office and did wonderful work. The price was very competitive and they finished before the deadline. The owner of the company was thrilled. After the great work they did for my employer I hired them to paint my home.
The price was very reasonable and the work was impeccable. My home is small and they helped me pick colors that would maximize the space. I wasn't really sure how much changing the paint colors would help my small home, let me tell you, the difference was night and day. People actually comment that my house is "airy and open". That's amazing given the space. The paint job is perfect and the guys left everything spotless at the end of the day. I can't say enough good stuff about Paint Green Professional Painters.
