 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast, professional, outstanding all around service.  Called Don on Monday at mid day, scheduled the estimate for 5:15 pm same day.  3 man crew arrived very next morning at 9 am to begin painting a full bedroom and bathroom.  Job was finished by noon on Wednesday.  Addressed all customer concerns and remediated failed drywall to my satisfaction.  Don was onsite at beginning and end of project to ensure his crew was fully knowledgeable about areas of concern.  Don will be  my painter of  choice going forwards on future projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don and crew were incredible! I can’t emphasize enough how professional, considerate, and transparent they were through our entire experience working with them. The quality of the service was top-notch and I am confident that I will hire them again for other projects in the future. They care about the small details, because it is the right thing to do and I truly felt like they cared about our home and how it would feel to us after being freshly painted. They made sure to clean up everything they brought in after a massive paint job, leaving our home cleaner than when they first entered. I highly recommend them to others looking for both quality and professionalism. Thanks Don!
