need name of VERY GOOD interior painter

I would appreciate the name of a painter who you feel is very good when it comes to patching and painting interior walls. I have a pebbly surface on my walls and need some one who can patch cracks and repair salitre and match the walls. So, if you have personal experience with someone like this, please give me the name and phone number.

Thanks

I'd suggest Manuel Flores. Did a great job on my place on more than one occasion. 331-528-3306. Speaks perfect English if that helps.

Right, like someone would recommend a REALLY BAD painter!

Sometimes someone might need a painter for a job where fine quality isn't required. Price (cheap) could be the most important criteria.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the name. Surprisingly he is the painter we were considering so this seals the deal !

David, if you need a really bad painter, I'm your guy!

Mario cell 333 444 1925. Mario speaks English. His painter and jefe of the job is his brother, Fausto. Excellent, very professional, puts down drape clothes and cleans up everything. They just got finished painting the exterior of my house, patching some areas, can't even tell where it was. In fact we had an electric line run along the outside of our concrete wall and the guy that did it didn't do a very good finishing job on the exterior wall where the line had been run. When Fausto saw it, he said, not good, and he sanded it and completely refinished the outside wall and you can't tell where the line was run. he did this on his own. Fausto also refinished the 7 year old wood beams in our cochera where they were drying out. He sanded all of them by hand, sprayed them with insecticide to prevent termites and applied 2 coats of varnish. They look like new.
Mario has a team for all types of work and he supervises it himself.

Having rehabbed several houses over the years, I can tell you that no one can match the paint on a wall where it won't be noticed. You can paint a whole wall and it be off a bit and it will not be noticed but if you just paint one area on a wall, it will show.

He painted the whole house. Before he painted, Fausto refinished the outside of the wall where you could see the previous patch job, then he painted over it with the same new paint as the whole house and the refinishing could not be detected.

Having plenty of experience as well I can tell you that I just redid partial walls in Chiapas and the painters matched the color exactly, it is possible but rarely done.
I had earthquake damage with craks that had to be repaired and the paint is water chalk and pigment and sealed with bava de nopal.
I called INAH and got several names from them . The guys fixing historical monuments take classes in restauration and they can match any paint and you will not notice it..except in your wallet of course.

How about a bad, expensive painter, or a good cheap one?

HEY! I resemble that remark, bad and expensive.
