Sloppy work
Sharon O.

If you don't look too closely, the work they do looks good. But if you are keen on details and good quality work, you may be disappointed like we were. Steve was very confident when he toured our home that he would do a far superior job than whoever had last painted our home and assured us his team wouldn't be sloppy or careless with their work. We were quoted about $5,000 for our living/dining combined room, master bedroom, bath, closet and stairwell. I should have been tipped off when they said they do not do any prep work like washing/sanding the walls/baseboards as those are very important steps in the quality of the final product and durability of the paint job. However, we proceeded to hire them. They did get the work done according to schedule and were prompt and reliable. We were put off that after the first day they called us to tell us that they thought they would need a second coat for the trim and baseboards, and that the cost of that was not factored into the price, so doing an extra coat would cost more and require an extra day of work. I was very surprised that they didn't clarify that 2 coats were only to be applied to the walls, not for the baseboards/trim. I'm not even confident they did two coats on the ceilings. We did have one wall that was painted the wrong color, which they corrected. And they also broke a shelf on our master closet organization system. They asked us what we wanted to do about it. I wanted it to be fixed or replaced, but it wasn't. I believe they gave us a small amount of money ($100 or less) for the damage, which doesn't resolve the issue. In the end, we have what looks from afar like a nicely painted room, but there are sloppy lines and edges and dripping paint everywhere. I painted the rest of the house myself, including proper wall prep prior to painting, and the other rooms do not have any of these issues. Because of this, I would not hire them again.

My company used Authority Painting for our small business. We are so glad to have found Steve! He communicated his professional opinion very well and never left us in the dark about anything and made helpful suggestions. We knew what we wanted and he worked with our vision! You can tell he puts a lot of care into his work and his employees were also professional. Excellent work! Thanks Steve!

Precision work!

We've hired Steve Clem and his crew for interior and exterior work - and they are top notch! They estimate the work fairly, and do beautiful conscientious work. Steve really gets into the job and makes sure everything is perfect. If you're a perfectionist, you'll have trouble finding fault. Trim lines are perfect and clean up is impeccable.

Steve and Authority Painting just painted our new house (second time using Authority Painting), and it looks amazing as expected. They did interior and exterior, and finished earlier than expected. They also re-textured a bathroom and one wall of a bedroom because there was wallpaper in there. They were able to match the existing texture well enough that I can't tell a difference. Their work is always exemplary. We had new carpets installed first, and Steve's crew was very careful about not getting paint on anything. I will keep going with Authority Painting for our future projects!

Authority Painting did an excellent job prepping and painting our house at a competitive price. They repaired a wall with rotting siding and also a hole a raccoon clawed in our chimney. Took them less than a week from start to finish and the house feels new again. Highly recommended!

Last summer, they painted the entire exterior from a dirty dull beige to a lively white with black trim. They patched up all the holes/cracks in the stucco, power washed, and taped EVERYTHING! At the end of each day, they cleaned up and put away the tools so the house was still accessible. It's crazy how different the house looks compared to before. I'm just loving it! Then over the winter, Chris' team returned because I wanted my garage refinished. I had 70s paneling and broken/crumbling dry wall. Considering how much time I spend in my garage, I can't believe I lived with such an eye sore for so many years. I gave Chris the hard task of wanting smooth walls, and if you know...that's a whole lot of sanding. His team came through and delivered! I love the new paint color on the walls, and no longer despise my garage. Oh, and also want to mention that he also patched up a bunch of holes inside my house (from electrical work I had done) and matched the existing wall texture and paint. You can't even tell the difference. Overall, Chris is amazing to work with. He's super responsive via text/calls. He's worked with many contractors over the years, and can give referrals if additional work is needed for your home. I would definitely recommend All Purpose Painting to my friends and family.

I hired them to do just paint but not only did they patch up those holes, they also made my fireplace look new and refreshed. The paint job in my kitchen, family room, laundry room and 3rd bathroom was exactly what I hoped for. They gave me a different white on my door and window sills at first but came back and corrected it without issues. I'd definitely recommend Army Painting & will use them again!

We agreed on the front walls of our house since the UV has faded the color over the last few years. As they were doing the work, my wife and I were impressed by their quality so we added more work to our house: trimmings around the windows and the inside wall of our front yard fence. Their employees were prompt and worked silently throughout the entire time; I didn't even hear them working outside the entire time. Other people we've contracted on house projects in the past did not always show up on time nor finished on time. Some of them were also unprofessional when they were here: loud music, spoke loudly, bad language, etc.. Not these guys. They were very professional and polite. Asked us for everything they needed before doing it: outlet access, moving things from the home out of the way before they worked, etc.. I highly recommend you contacting/contracting this company for your painting needs. It was a pleasure working with them from start to finish. House renovations have been stressful in the past but not with these guys - it was very smooth and enjoyable. Both their work and the experience with their staff have surpassed expectations. My wife and I are not going to hesitate calling them up for future work nor will we hesitate dropping their name to friends and family that need paint work.

Our painting team, headed by Manny, was outstanding. While officially he was the lead painter on the crew, he unofficially served as onsite PM, keeping me informed of daily progress and overall status. He and his painters were onsite when they said they would be, careful of the property, left everything tidy and secure at the end of each day, and addressed every detail, no matter how small to my satisfaction. The finished work is everything I hoped it would be and I could not be happier. In our first meeting Joe asked me what would make this job a slam dunk. I told him that I wanted the process to be easy for me, and for the results to look genuinely professional vs a DIY or handyman job. They absolutely nailed my requirements. Woodiwiss was 10/10 for us. (Regarding the photos, don't judge the wood pillars. They are intentionally unpainted and will be re-stained in a different project.)

One company with the Initials of SP- S= Smart But not in my book, the guy never came out to give us a thorough Bid. I merely submitted photos and the measurements his bid came back for materials and labor that's all, very vague and incomplete in my experience. Target painting was highly recommended by a friend it was the best decision ever for us. Isban came out and met with us looked over the job and gave us pointers, suggestions and it was the best decision for us. His Crew is professional, courtesy and the work is high quality and every detail was covered. Target Painting did many extras for us given our health situation for this we are forever grateful to Isban Target Painting for his kindness. If you're looking for a painting company that is Honest, Reliable, Great Quality work look no further this is the company. After we hired Target Painting, we found out they also painted a few of our friends house over the Years too. The crew showed up early at 7:30AM but respected our privacy and didn't start the project until 8:00 Am as agreed they are always punctual, professional and kind. Cleaned up every evening very nicely and put all their tools away safely for us. Price was reasonable and very competitive. Highly recommend and they will be coming back to paint our Stucco and a small job inside. If you are in need of a professional painter that does high quality work this is the place. No pressure from Isban he recommends and the final decision is yours. He will give you 2 bids so you can decide which way you want to go, he's as honest as it gets folks. Look no further save your time Target Painting. Thank you Isban and to your wonderful crew for an awesome high quality painting job. Looking forward to you returning for some other jobs here.
