Universe Construction

GREAT COMPANY-USE THEM FOR ALL OF YOUR PAINTING NEEDS. I have used Universe Painting now twice over six years to completely paint my historic urban warehouse loft. Both experiences were exceptional. I called and received a same day visit with a follow up estimate and straightforward contract in two days. We scheduled painting over five day three weeks later. This quick start is unheard of during the follow up from COVID shutdown. There were no other craftspersons/painters willing to be available so quickly and provide a reasonable quote. Owner Asen Angelov allowed us access to paint samples through his Sherman Williams relationship to assure that we chose the right shades of the colors we wanted. I provided keys during the walkthrough and left town. The work included patching and sanding, painting walls, pipes, railings, trim. We returned to a fully completed, clean, beautiful, ventilated and secure home. The punchlist of final "to do" things was short and workers arrived on time the next day to finish. There were some tricky architectural fixtures and expensive window coverings that the painters removed and returned expertly to original locations to avoid paint splatters. Painters were professional-clean, organized, speedy, respectful, security-minded. Owner Asen Angelov is a well educated civil engineer and can manage and do complex jobs that require expertise and higher math (my floating boxes required arctangent to cut to the exact measurement!). In conclusion, it was perfect and I am happy.

Our management company helped us select Universe for an HOA project to paint many of the common areas in our building, including all of the doors, stair edges, exterior pipes, a wall at the entry, and exterior other metallic fixtures. While the manager, Cesar, was very friendly and seemingly attentive, the work performed by the crew was far below acceptable quality. Their preparation of the doors, frames, and frames especially, to be ready for painting, their lack of protecting surfaces from overspray, and their lack of managing use of the stairs until the paint was dry contributed to a general chaotic atmosphere that required board members to spend a lot of time with them to express our, reasonable in my opinion, basic expectation of quality, which was just not understood or at least followed. It took them 2 weeks just to paint the stair treads and after spending a few days painting the doors on the 3rd floor, they WALKED OFF THE JOB and provided no notice to the board or anyone else on site. We were later informed by our management company that the crew didn't believe that they were capable of finishing the doors to an acceptable level of quality. ZERO communication was provided and we have a signed contract. I would NOT recommend Universe if you're expecting quality results or general professionalism. Beware they may just quit and leave you with a partially finished mess!

I recently hired Asen and his team at Universe Painting and Construction recently to paint and repair some of the roof eaves and trim on the exterior of my house, as well as to do some shingle and window frame repair. The job took about five days including carpentry, powerwashing/applying primer and painting - which was what had been estimated. The house looks great and refreshed and just as importantly the wood is now protected. I only wish I had been able to afford to have the shingles re-painted at this time too! Asen and his team are knowledgable, professional and responsive, and they were flexible enough to postpone the work twice when I requested it. I recommend Universe for painting and outdoor projects!

We are so happy with the job Universe Painting performed on our home. During the job we were made aware and kept informed of all steps involved in the painting process. We were provided with a variety of beautiful colors and combinations of colors to decide what we liked and what looked best for our home. We loved the work and job that was completed on our home, we received everything we wanted. The painting process was very professional and well prepped the quality of the job was second to none. We love the look of our home, and all of our neighbors have given us compliments. We definitely recommend Universe Painting for all of your painting needs.

Universal Painting did an amazing job on our outdoor tunnel entrance and stairs for our house in Potrero Hill. We've been having repeated problems keeping the stairs painting due to weather, wind, fog & water. Asen is a pro. He came by to inspect the surface and made great suggestions on the best type of paint and how to seal it in so we won't have to repaint for years. He estimated the job, came in on budget and did the job on time. Universal will be my first call next time we have a paint job.
