2026
Hello,
In early 2026, the HOA Board for 410 Gordon Terrace (a five-unit, three-story condominium complex) voted to repaint the entire exterior of the building. The project included all exterior walls, the interior patio area, the interior walls of the underground parking, all interior metal doors and door jams, and the fleshing around the roof.
Our first task was to solicit bids from qualified firms with references from other HOA condominium buildings. We contacted seven firms and conducted five in-person interviews and appraisals. Throughout this process, we made it clear that we had a structural engineering report on the property and hoped to address some of the report findings through the painting contract. These findings included cracks in the stucco surface, peeling paint surfaces, and some rust issues around metal railings. We also made it clear that the price was only one of several factors to determine the winning bid.
Ferris Painting was one of two firms that made the effort to fully understand the structural engineering report and spend time with the Association in discussing various alternatives in waterproofing paint and addressing the findings of the engineering report. Of the five bids received, the pricing was relatively close in three bids, while the other two were substantially lower or higher. Based on the working relationship that developed with Ferris through the bidding process, their bid was selected even though it was slightly more expensive than the other two finalist bids.
Ferris continued to demonstrate a close working partnership with the HOA Board through the color selection process by coordinating a Color Specialist to meet with us and painting sample color panels on both a wall with direct sunlight and on a shaded wall in the courtyard. Ferris was also collaborative with additional requests generated by residents for additional painting services of door jams, etc.
During the actual project, the Ferris team was extremely courteous to residents and kept the work site well-organized and clean. The final inspection went very smoothly, and small issues were resolved by Ferris with ease.
I was the Board’s project lead on the painting and would recommend them to other condominium associations.
Sincerely,
G.B.

Ferris Painting,
Hi Greg
The board of Capri in Pasadena wants to thank Ferris Painting for making our community such a lovely place. The flowers and trees were beautiful, but the buildings were looking a little sad. Greg Lewis and his crew came to the rescue. The three buildings are now bright and welcoming. Every detail was addressed with professional care. All the painters were helpful in attending to every detail.
Thanks Ferris Painting for another job well done!

Dear Greg,
I would like to thank you for the exceptional work you and your crew have done by repainting our building. As a result of your professionalism and work ethics our building changed completely from an outdated look into a modern type of building that blends in with the neighboring, contemporary buildings.
It is such a pleasure to see you smiling and friendly crew busily painting and transforming our building, while the work areas were kept tidy and well organized throughout the project.
In fact, not only do I greatly appreciate this approach, but I consider it outstanding. I am detail oriented, always seeking the highest quality of products and work. Therefore, I was happy that the project moved forward smoothly, despite the changes, and was finished in a timely manner.
And now, day after day, the owners and tenants of this building enjoy this incredible new look. Thus, I am glad that I chose your company for this job. If the opportunity presents itself, I will highly recommend your painting service. I have no doubt that your professionalism will continue to keep your schedule busy!
One more time. I would like to thank you, your crew, and your supporting team.
Keep up the great work!

"Ferris Painting recently completed repainting of the ironwork,
including gates, doors and roof fences at the above address, an eleven unit condominium .
The work was stellar with no paint splatter anywhere, all done in a careful manner with no disruption to any of the owners.
The cost was fair and was finished on time and on bid.
I would have no hesitation hiring Ferris Painting in the future.

“Ferris Painting did a great job on our property this summer. The owner, Greg, was willing to answer all our questions and address our concerns with a friendly attitude. He did a good job following up on small things including finishing touches before the project was done. The price was better than most others in the market (construction/painting are extremely pricey these days).”

"Dear Greg and the Ferris Painting Team,
Thank you very much for doing a great job with our 4 unit townhouse building at 21st and California! We appreciate your work in helping us match the previous colors for the walls and trim and doing multiple visits and swatches until our HOA agreed on a color. Once the job started, the team worked efficiently and were always helpful in responding to our questions. You let us know what to expect as the job progressed, which was great for understanding how things were moving along and what was needed from us along the way. We appreciated that the job was finished on time and on-budget.
The building looks great with the new paint job and we will definitely be recommending you to other HOAs and friends! "
Thank you!

"To whom it may concern:
I am the President of a small HOA that self manages a 4 townhome, 3 story condominium complex in Santa
Monica. We just completed a full repainting of our buildings with Ferris Painting. The building had not been
painted in the previous 14 years and now is totally rejuvenated. Working with Ferris was uncomplicated and
worry free. The project started with bids from multiple painting companies, tours of their projects, and
review of references. Ferris provided a competitive bid, a thorough description of exactly what needed to be
done including carpentry and favorable reviews. Their contract was very specific and inclusive, and their
warranty was reassuring. They provided color suggestions and a computer rendering of color combinations
on our building. Working with Greg Lewis was easy and pleasant, and he came through with every detail in
our punch list. The payment schedule worked well for our budget. I highly recommend Ferris Painting for
your project and feel confident your experience will be as successful as ours."

To whom it may concern,
Our homeowners association has used Ferris Painting a few times now.
Initially, they came in and bid some painting work with other companies and got that 1st job here.
That first experience with them was really good.
The quality of the work, the professionalism of the crew, and the flexibility with start dates worked quite well for our association.
Since then, we have brought them back out twice to do more painting, and even a few small non-painting jobs that helped us get the painting work completed.
As always, the crew has done great work, clean up after themselves really well and have no issue if something needed to be touched up.
I would not hesitate recommending Ferris for any exterior painting need, whether single story or multi-story like our complex is.

Hi Greg,
I wanted to let you know that Ismael, Alfredo, and Jesus worked really well as a team during our recent exterior painting project. I appreciate the thoroughness of their prep work, particularly patching the wood trim and sealing the gaps with silicone. Also, I appreciate you coming out to post notices on all of the unit doors prior to the job. It's clear you have a lot of experience working with HOAs.

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the work you performed at Harvard Townhouses Condominium Homeowners Association. The work was performed in a very efficient, clean and timely manner. The fact that you were very accommodating in meeting with 2 Board members on 2 separate occasions after the work was performed to answer a few questions and touch up a couple of areas shows the pride you take in the work that Ferris Painting performs.
Thanks again for making my job a little easier.

Dear Greg
I am writing on behalf of the Board of Directors and residents at Knowleton Court, Pasadena CA,
who have expressed their compliments on the beautiful job your company did for us.
We highly recommend Ferris Painting company. Everyone involved in the project was a
pleasure to work with. The crew was on-time, incredibly responsive to all our requests, worked
in a professional manner, and cleaned up each day upon leaving the property––and more
importantly, the project was on-budget.
Ferris Painting worked effectively with the Association Board of Directors and residents by
keeping us updated on all phases––what the schedule for painting would be and placed notices
on the property and at resident’s units to keep everyone informed. It was a large undertaking
for us and they made it a smooth experience for everyone involved.
On behalf of the Board and the residents we wish to sincerely thank Ferris Painting for a great
new look and look forward to calling on your services for all our painting needs.
Sincerely,
Knowleton Court
