"This past Fall, I hired El Gato to do some exterior work on the home, which gets a lot of direct sun exposure from the South. I was told that the job would take two, and possibly part of a third day to complete. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality of the work, and I would use them again. I would give them five stars, but as the job went into it's s..." Read more

"It started with Ken, the owner during our initial meeting and estimate. He was professional, timely and offered excellent input with colors. He was extremely knowledgeable and confident. A few weeks later, the paint crew arrived. The 3 person paint crew lead by Moises were incredible! Moises had great communication with me daily, they were timely, very..." Read more

"Highly recommend. Johnny was pleasant and offered several options on paint. He went the extra mile and even painted different color options on our wall. It's not easy to pick colors but they were patient and accommodating. I called and ask questions about their process, Johnny explained details I did not even think to ask about. The team arrived on time, pai..." Read more

"Returning to El Gato many years after they painted our now rental house. Friendly, honest estimate on mom's house and quality work. They even did extra (I was trying to save $ and do some of the work myself), since they had some paint left over. Replaced some rotten wood too. Wow. Now for the interior work."

"If there was a zero rating, I would give them a zero rating. Ken gave me an estimate for a 21 step preparation but I doubt they even did 5 preparation steps before painting. His crew came out to paint my house in April 2012 and less than 2 years after they painted, the layer of paint they put on started separating. Also, when the house was first painted,..." Read more

"El Gato provides great service, knowledgeable sales staff and just plain awesome painters. Their 21 step process is something they actually train their staff to do and hold themselves to a very high standard as a result. I highly recommend them."

"Torn between 2 and 3 stars. I'll give 3 since the paint job is generally good. The downside is the paint they left on the counter, the paint on the glass shower door, paint splatter on top of the toilet, paint splatter on the washer and dryer, the light fixtures they told me they would put back but left on the floor, the outlet covers they took off and didn'..."

"El Gato Painting surpassed our expectations on punctuality, quality, speed and price! Owner Ken Slosarik personally came out for an initial walk-through and then to check-in if we were satisfied. It is rare to find a paint company in Silicon Valley where you still have direct contact with the owner, which is a testament to Ken who is passionate about serving..." Read more
