In the spirit of sharing "good finds" and "great deals" with fellow Costarican posters I write:
It's proven! Anyone can "paint", but when a professional painter does the job, there is a huge difference with the end result!
When I first built my house, I let the construction workers themselves do the painting. The job was very poorly executed to say the least. So a year or so later, I hired a professional painter -Jose Luis- whom I had known for several years. I hesitated from hiring him for the job the first time down, simply because I thought it would be too costly to go with a professional painter. I was surprised when he gave me the estimate, and hated myself for not hiring him a year back. After he painted, the result was simply "amazing". The look and feel of my house was completely renewed!
Jose Luis did such a great job, that I we had him paint our office in San Jose as well. Again, total satisfaction!
So a year and a half went by, and my drywall needed some maintenance anyway, so I decided I wanted to try some new color schemes while at it, and paint the house all over again! I hired Jose Luis to paint inside out, and was again thoroughly satisfied with the results. For under $400, he not only gave my GYPSUM ceilings the maintenance they needed, but he also painted my house, inside and out- all materials included! In two day's time, the job was DONE!, and no bad odors, or a single drop of paint on my floors! (Can you tell I had bad experiences before?)
Choosing the "right colors", can be a painful job, but once you have the colors, all you need is a GOOD painter to get the job done. Actually, come to think of it, the color choosing process was fun.
My personal recommendation
If you need a painter and speak Spanish, call Jose Luis at 356-1090. If you need a "mediator" due to language barriers, call me at 363-4120.
