Zeb is wonderful! I cannot say enough good things about this man. I was referred to him through a business associate and am so thankful for it. Zeb is professional, respectful, highly detailed, organized, on time and does beautiful work. I have hired Zeb for 3 different projects and he exceeds my expectations every single time. I love that he listens to his customer’s wants/needs and then goes about his business to get it don’t. Thank you, Zeb!

I have used Zeb for over 25 years. He is very meticulous worker any does a great job. The one star reviews probably asked for extras for free. This is not fair to contractors. He has done many jobs for me and was my preferred painter. His work is excellent. Just let him do his work and don't interrupt him. This way he can do an exceptional job for you.

Zeb Bode, of Painting by Zeb Bode, was recommended to us by a longtime Riverside contractor (who did 3 renovation jobs in our home and whom we trust completely.) Zeb's just completed exterior painting of our home exceeded every element of an excellent job. We had an initial interview wherein he inspected our exterior and explained clearly and straightforwardly the steps he would take to complete the job, which he later confirmed in his written estimate. His price was reasonable. He was prepared with a color chart and made welcome suggestions on main color, trim color and style that improved our initial selection. His execution of the job was amazing, showing up early between 7 am and 7:30 am he worked steadily with only a short lunch break. His trailer and truck contained every tool and ladder he needed to complete the job--no sudden departures from the job to visit a supplier. His masking with paper, plastic and tape was so precise that he needed only a few cut-ins to paint out mistakes. He had done such a good job with the power wash, scraping and sanding. Our almost 60 year old home looked 'young ' again. He cleaned up after himself each day. We noticed beyond his strong work ethic that he worked smart with little to no wasted motion or steps--he seemed to have the job thought out from the get go. We unreservedly recommend him.

Horrible personality but great painter. Rude, doesn't want to work with you. It's hard to work with someone that is rude and won't work with you. Turned water off to the house he was working on without telling anyone. Tried to have a convo with him about things we wanted done but did things his own way. I would NOT recommend him at all. Like I said, an excellent painter but to get that from him is not worth it. Sorry....sad but true.

This guy will do the job right the first time. Zeb is personally related to me. But just because is,isn't why i speak highly of him as a painter. He is as professional as they come. He has been doing this for over 20yrs.

Zeb just finished painting the exterior of my home and I could not be happier ! I obtained about 4 estimates last year and dragged my feet on this project and never followed through. The past few months I saw Zeb's truck on the freeway and decided to call him for an estimate. He came out the following day, discussed the job with my husband and provided an estimate the next day. He followed up with me 2 days later and I hired him. He got started the next Monday morning. He arrived when he said, he worked all day, completed everything he said he was going to do (and more!) and best of all he gave me great advice on colors, matching trim, etc. This girl had no idea what she wanted and I hate making decisions, so his expertise and willingness to help and advise was just what I needed! He had great patience with me as I kept switching colors. Zeb is a true professional. I have dealt with many contractors and he's the guy you want working on your home! He did a power wash, took the time necessary for complete prepping, repaired stucco and fascia board. He cleaned everything up before he left. I'm thrilled with the quality of his work and so happy I hired him! I highly recommend him!

If I could give this guy zero stars I would, we got his card from Dunn- Edwards Paint Supply store and needed his services for one of our client's home. I'm an interior designer and my husband is a real estate agent, we had a client who was planning to sell his home and he needed to do some improvements before on his home before selling. I provide my husband's clients with free advise on what improvements to make and what colors and finishes to pick that will appeal to buyers. Long story short, we asked Zeb to meet us at our clients home to get an estimate on how much it would cost to paint the interior and some exterior parts of the home. We were told by our client before hand that Zeb had already advised our client against some of the suggestions we had made to our client however we over looked that and asked to meet him anyway. While my husband and I discussed with our client effective and affordable ways to give his outdated kitchen a minor renovation, Zeb decided it was okay to chime in and argue with us about a choice of counter top. When I told Zeb that I studied design and our client asked me to help him decide on finishes for his home, Zeb decided to say " well I'm a designer too!" I was so appalled that he thought it was okay to yell and challenge me in front of our client when we were the one's to call him for his painting services. As he kept arguing with me, I ended the whole thing by saying I didn't hire him to argue especially in front of our client. After that he walked outside and he left the home without letting anyone know that he left. Our client was left asking where he had gone and if he was going to be back. We called Zeb to ask if he had gone to pick up material, when he answered he continued to argue with us about how "his input obviously doesn't matter" and he proceeded to tell my husband that he agreed to meet with him, not for him to bring an "interior designer". Then he hung up on us! It was almost comical because it was so absurd, this guy threw a fit because he didn't get to give our client his advise about which countertop to go with. Mind you we called him for a paint job estimate and never expected that kind of drama. The whole thing was bizarre, when we talked to a manager about him at Dunn-Edwards they told us many people had issues with this guy including that manager we spoke to. For sure stay far away if you could from people like this guy.
