Mel Soares
has owned
Mel Soares
Painting since 1990.
Joe Segale, his foreman
and his cousin, has
been with him for 10
years. Sylvia, who is
like a daughter to Mel,
is their color consultant.
These relationships indicate what kind of business
Mel runs: Customers are truly treated like family.
Ever the diplomat, if a customer insists on a color
that Mel thinks isn’t right, he’ll apply some of the
paint and then ask the customer to come sit with
him and look at the color in a different light.
Mel is very proud of the hundreds of homes
they’ve painted for the City of San Jose Housing
Rehabilitation Program. Mel and his crew perform
remarkable transformations on these homes,
which are very rundown before they begin, and
he finds it very gratifying to see how thrilled
people are with the result—often so thrilled that
they’re brought to tears.
Mel Soares Painting prefers working on residences
and prefers repainting to new construction. This is
an honest company that doesn’t take shortcuts.
