Customer Reviews





“Swiss Painting has been taking care of us, painting our house, inside and out, for twenty years. They also
beautifully refinished and glazed our kitchen, bathroom and linen cupboards, and put a faux finish on our
outside pillars that has lasted many years and looks gorgeous. Two years ago they even jumped into action
when I wanted to quickly repaint our bedroom and garage doors as an anniversary surprise for my husband.
Jake and his team are the most pleasant crew we have worked with, and always leave everything cleaned up
and looking better than before they arrived. We recommend them highly.”

"R. Henry Richards, M.D. & Jean R. Richards
December 21, 2011
Dear Jake,
I wanted to commend you on your terrific work at my home in the Costa del Sol community.
I realized there was a lot of work to be done on the property after my tenant moved out. I was apprehensive as
an out-of-town owner and I was particularly cautious about any work being done without my direct supervision.
I wanted to list the property for sale right away, but I wasn’t sure who could help with all of the different things
that needed to be done.
I interviewed several contractors and was very impressed with the quality of your work, your commitment to the
job, and your extremely competitive pricing. Your advice regarding the work necessary to make my place “look
like a jewel” was invaluable. The interior job was immaculate and I appreciate the extra effort and touching up
that you did even though these items were not in the contract. I also appreciate your advice about how to get
improve the exterior “street appeal” by repainting trim and doors and touching up the walls only where
needed. This saved me a lot of time and money. The sealant for the stamped concrete patio was icing on the
cake, and really gives the place an extra special appearance.
I was also impressed with the men on the crew working in my home. They were courteous, thorough, and
completely neat and clean. When they were done, you could not tell they had ever been there. Also, when I had
to get in touch with you, you were always available by cell phone which gave me extra confidence and security.
Thank you again for your outstanding work. I have had other contractors working on my home in the past few
years, but none as good as Swiss Painting.
Sincerely,
R. Henry Richards
PS- My home sold within 90 days and the buyers remarked that of all the places they had considered, mine
looked exceptionally “fresh and new.” I truly believe that your work was an essential part of getting my house
sold."

"After getting three bids, we chose Swiss painting to paint the interior of our home, our
garage,  as well as our kitchen cabinets.  There are several reasons we are happy we chose
Swiss painting.  1)  The quality of the work was superb.  We were especially impressed with the
clean edges between the end of the paint and the beginning of the crown molding. We were
also impressed with the attention to detail that was taken in the prep work of our kitchen
cabinets.  They look brand new.  It saved us thousands of dollars compared to replacing
them.   2) The work team was fast, efficient, clean and courtesy.  3) The price was very
competitive, 4) We felt any concerns or questions we had were handled professionally  and
with care.  We definitely recommend Swiss painting and we will be calling on them again with
future painting needs."

"I highly recommend Jake Schaerer and Swiss Painting.  Jake provided us with special textured
finishes, using several layers to create depth to painted surfaces, as well as faux painting and
standard painting.  His crew is meticulous and environmentally conscious and he always
stands behind his work.  Even at his own personal cost, he will repeat the job as needed to
ensure 100% satisfaction with the result.  Jake is trustworthy, with a strong work ethic and
always pleasant to work with.  He went the extra mile to provide us with detailed specifications
of the paint process, paint type and color for our future use."

"Thank you, Jake, for giving the outside of our house a face-lift!  You are the first service
professional I have worked with that is more of a perfectionist than me!  I appreciate the time
you spent with me prior to beginning the job selecting colors and discussing areas that needed
attention.  You give each job your personal attention.  Your prep work is second to none and
makes all the difference.  Our 10 year old house looks like new!  And we have had our slate
patio and walkway sealed twice a year forever and it has never looked as nice as it does now.  
Your team did a fantastic job of stripping the old sealant and putting on a new finish.  I know
the patio finish, trim and house paint are going to last.  I only recommend people that I am
100% sure will exceed my friend's expectations and I would recommend you highly."

"Jake and his crew at Swiss Painting recently painted the exterior of our commercial building
and we were very pleased with the results.  We appreciated their professionalism, and the
hard work they did."

"We have used many painters during the 20-plus years we have lived in Rancho Santa Fe, but
when we discovered Swiss Painting, we decided never use any other company again. Their
attention to detail, preparation, and professionalism are outstanding. We have never had to
worry about damage to our home or monitor them to make sure that they are doing their job.
They do not "cut corners" but instead go above and beyond to make us happy. Each time we
have hired them, the results are amazing. and there is nothing that seems too difficult for them
to do."

"Swiss Painting 5  Swiss Painting Superb
Swiss Painting is wonderful in their attention to detail, incredible preparation and meticulous
clean-up. My husband and I were very happy with their flexibility in handling several painting
projects (inside and exterior) for us over the past year in our Solana Beach home. Jake's crew
seems to have been with him for a long time, and they are unfailingly polite and excellent
workers who anyone would be happy to have in and around their home. I am pleased to
recommend Swiss Painting whole-heartedly!"

"Swiss Painting are Masters
Jake and the guys at Swiss Painting are masters of their craft. They are neat, professional,
and above all honest and trust worthy. I had them refinish all the cabinets in my home from
Cherry to a very rich mahogony type finish. The best part was they started just before we left
for a two week vacation. I let them finsh while I was away. We we returned it was amazing...it
was like we were in a new home!!! I would surely recommed Swiss Painting!"

"We believe these artisans are among the best painters in San Diego. They have immaculate
attention to detail and craftsmanship. Incredibly courteous, professional, and ethical. We have
used them for two major residential projects, interior and exterior, and have been nothing but
completely satisfied. Works closely with client, explaining process and products. They go out of
their way not to impose on the family's day-to-day routine when doing a major interior project.
We repainted every surface of our home and did faux treatments, trim painting, doors,
windows, and a grand entrance staircase and hall. The transformation of the house was
incredible. The owner is terrific to work with: all about customer service and quality. His staff is
well trained and professional and all are trustworthy family men. Does painting, cabinetry, faux
and more. They are truly European craftsmen. Thanks Jake for being our trusted painter"

"Swiss Painting did a great job! We did our entire house with several different colors. They are
careful, clean and very nice to work with. If they told me they would arrive at 8:00am, that's the
time they arrived, not one minute later. They did quality work and have excellent customer
care. I highly recommend them."
Julie T. San Diego, CA 12/2/2010

"Our first time using Jake and his team. We couldn't be more pleased! They were timely, clean,
quick, and helpful (we are senior citizens.) We would definitely use them again and would
recommend them."
Christa S.Solana Beach, CA 12/4/2010


"Swiss Painting has painted the outside of our home and several areas inside our home. They
have done quality, on-time professional work on every job. They have matched pre-existing
faux paint jobs and colors superbly. In several instances, they have used their "artistic" ability
to make suggestions for improving the look of the job. Jake and his crew are a pleasure to deal
with, courteous, friendly and efficient.
I strongly recommend them for any work around your home. They also do concrete sealing
and finishes."
Marvin B.San Diego, CA 12/6/2010

"Nice to see Jake's business is still as efficient and professional as they were when we used
them to paint our interior in 2007. Back then I remember we had just a few days before
company arrived for the holidays and I was concerned that they would be able to do the job in
time. Not only was it done on time, they were also correct with every color match, quick to finish
the job and their cleanup was spotless. I've been recommending them to friends and family
since then, and it's nice to be able to get the word out over Yelp, too."
