I selected Tom's InsideOutside to paint the interior of my home. I've lived here over 25 years and definitely needed paint. Wallpaper removed in the den and a bedroom that had been painted over. Although this removal took a couple days to complete, you would've never known the previous state of these walls, they came out perfect! Tom's team was skilled, professional and the final product was just that, PROFESSIONAL! My neighbors were in awe on how beautiful my home looks. If you want your home painted by a top notch company, Tom's Inside Outside is your answer!Posted on Google![]()

We hired Tomβs Inside Out Painting to paint the interior of a 51 year old home we had just purchased. The interior walls were a disaster with nearly every flaw possible. Holes everywhere, drywall damage, door casing and baseboard issues, 4 different wall colors and copious amounts of cheap paint that had been applied carelessly by the previous owners. We were not sure if the walls could be saved. After obtaining multiple painting bids we selected Tomβs Painting because he was the only painting company that we felt was up to the task and that could meet our high standards. We wanted top quality work, not cheap work. We also needed the work completed on a quick schedule since we sold our other home and needed to move soon. Tom put his team of amazing craftsman to work and with his support Rodolfo, Drew and the other men worked methodically and did not cut corners. They made an extra effort to complete the small details and when the job was finished the home interior was unrecognizable from what it had looked like just 8 days prior. The home interior was transformed into a thing of beauty and class. Tom also has an exceptional talent for advising on wall color selection and how to blend all the colors together with the different features of the home. The color choices Tom guided us to turned out to be perfect. Tom and his crew worked well with the other contractors and helped to solve problems when challenges arose. Tom was also excellent about keeping us appraised of the work progress and would call us for a meeting if we needed to make a design or repair decision. In the end his crew worked two weekends and through the week and finished the work a day earlier than promised. This was a difficult job and the finished work was far better than we hoped and we cannot thank Tom and his team for all they did on our behalf. A very professional and talented company. I will add pictures later to this review if I can.Posted on Google![]()

We used Tom's Inside Out Painting to do interior painting and some wall repair to prepare our house to sell. We are very pleased with the job completed. Tom's staff arrived each day at the time promised, did an excellent job prepping the house for painting and cleaning up when the job was completed. If you need painting, we recommend their services!

How Proper Surface Preparation Protects Multi-Unit Buildings
On large properties, skipping preparation leads to premature paint failure across dozens of surfaces. Tom's Inside Out Painting treats every surface properly before any topcoat is applied:
- Power washing to remove dirt, mold, mildew, and chalk from exterior surfaces
- Patching stucco cracks and repairing wood substrates before painting
- Priming all bare surfaces and repaired areas for maximum adhesion
- Caulking around windows, trim, and penetrations to prevent moisture intrusion
For a full overview of surface prep requirements, visit the surface preparation guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should property managers look for when choosing a painting contractor?
Verify licensing, bonding, and insurance first. Then evaluate the contractor's experience with multi-unit and HOA projects specifically, review references, and confirm that their project management process includes resident communication and phased scheduling.
How often should multi-unit properties be repainted?
Exterior surfaces typically need repainting every 5 to 10 years. Interior common areas often benefit from refreshing every 3 to 7 years. Regular inspections help identify areas that need earlier attention.
Are permits required for HOA exterior painting in Riverside?
Some exterior painting projects, particularly those involving color changes or structural modifications, may require permits. Consult the Riverside city planning department to confirm requirements before work begins.
What should a painting contract for a multi-unit project include?
A solid contract defines the scope of work per building and unit type, specifies paint brands and finishes, sets payment terms and a project timeline, includes warranty details, and addresses how changes or unforeseen conditions will be handled.
