I realize a 2 star (I'd give them 2.5 if allowed) rating is not a terrific rating and is low compared to Crash of Rhino's previous reviews here on Yelp so I will explain. First, Crash's owners, manager, and crew were all extremely nice, responsive, and easy to work with during the job. Mike, Kim, and their project manager are super fast to respond to emails or phone calls. Mike got an estimate within a couple days of contacting him by phone. I didn't get other estimates but their price seemed very reasonable. So why the low rating? My house is a typical valley home built in the 50's or 60's. The primary reason I hired professional painters was the amount of professional prep work needed on a vintage home that had been painted many times over the past 50+ years. Unfortunately this is where Crash fell short. The prep work was minimal and not thorough enough for this type of older home. Basically prep work was a thorough pressure wash and and some caulking (and of course lots of taping). There was minimal (if any) hand scrapping or noticeable priming of raw wood or exposed masonry/concrete. The spray work on doors and the house was complete and very clean. Unfortunately the lack of prep showed quickly with areas showing signs of lose paint and even some obvious painting over loose dirt and debris on the stem wall and window frames. As well as spray painting over loose paint on the wood structure that should have been hand scraped after the pressure wash.
Overall: if you have a newer construction stucco home say 1980-2000's that requires minimal prep so that a pressure wash and paint spray will do the job then definitely consider Crash of Rhinos for your house. Mike and Kim and crew are very friendly and easy to work with and quick to set up and complete the job. But if you have an older home from the late 1950-1960's requiring more intensive professional prep then I would hesitate to recommend Crash based on my experience.
