We contracted 5 Five Star Painting 1.5 years ago. It was an extensive job. Paint ceilings,…read morerepair cracks, paint master bedroom and bathroom. They were so friendly and helpful through the estimating process. The team arrived on time and were very professional. After they left and the first sunrise we saw the spots missed, the roller marks, the drips, the missed repairs. Yes, we should have more closely inspected, however it was evening and the light made it look good. We were so thankful that we looked past the workmanship. After a few days, and a few morning light, it looked bad and as we looked closer things were missed. I guess blinded by how friendly they were. My wife sent emails and received no response. We gave up. Learned to live with it. Then 1.5 years later they contact us asking for a review. Are you kidding??? All the disappointment and feeling taken advantage of came flooding back. Another email sent. We were kindly disregarded. Watch out from the smiles , friendly disposition. If you contract with them, make the requirements crystal clear, review their work, hold back a percent of payment until you are satisfied.

In the summer of 2019 Genesis Painting painted the exterior of our house and our decks. The project…read morewas prolonged with many "no-shows". However, it did get completed by the fall. The next spring, the deck and handrails paint was peeling off. We called Genesis and they eventually sent someone who agreed to redo it. This did not happen until the fall of 2020. Sure enough, this spring (2021), the paint ion the deck and handrails is peeling everywhere. We have contacted Genesis but have had no response. We believe the deck was not properly prepped and this is the cause of the extensive peeling in less than a year! Working with this company has been more than difficult.

I hired TL Home Finishing to help with an interior paint job on a condo that was recently purchased…read moreand the previous owners had done an obvious "DIY" sloppy paint job. Tom was very responsive upon first contact and was able to come out to estimate the job within 1-2 days. I was very appreciative that he helped point out some areas in the living room and kitchen the were in serious need of patchwork and repairs from the previous DIY job. Within about another day I had a project estimate that I found to be very fair considering the amount of work that was required. Tom personally helped me pick the color and provided suggestions when I was unsure of paint finishes and a few minor details. Scheduling the workers was easy and Jason and Josh did a fantastic job. The wall patching was well done and the retexturing just made everything look right. They covered a living room with vaulted ceiling, kitchen with a skylight, dining room, and hallway in just a couple of days. Throughout the project Tom was communicating frequently, providing status updates. The painters cleaned up after themselves and left everything in good shape. I will definitely be contacting these guys again for my next project.

My client and I were extremely happy with the entire process from estimate to completion. Mike's bid came in several thousands of dollars less than another painting company in Madison despite the fact they used top of the line paint with excellent craftsmanship and professionalism. I will definitely use Megna Painting again for this client as well as future clients and highly recommend them for any painting project. I would be more than happy to talk to any prospective clients of Megna Painting regarding their work. Thank you Mike and the crew for your excellent work and for being such great people. It was a pleasure! LuAnn Shay, Shay Chic Design, LLC

We recently hired Megna Painting to paint the exterior of our house. Before hiring Megna we met…read morewith six other companies who met with us and provided quotes. After reviewing the quotes and meeting with each company, it was very clear that Megna was the best choice. First, Mike Megna met with us personally and provided some excellent suggestions to bring value to the project without pushing the cost upward. Second, Megna clearly outlined the scope of work, what is included and what is not. They included more scope than the other companies and their quote was one of the two lowest in cost. There was no aggressive sales push, just a request to let them know if we have any questions. As the project start date approached Mike Megna met with us personally to provide guidance in color and materials selections. He gently challenged us on some color choices which, in retrospect, made the project so much better than it would have been without his input. He also provided us a clear understanding of what to expect during the project, and started the project as scheduled/promised. Megna's crew was exceptional! They were super friendly and did an excellent job of prepping for the actual painting. They masked areas not receiving paint (stone facace/windows/etc) very well and made extra efforts to protect our other property in the vicinity. Mike Megna stopped by often to check on progress and to make sure we were happy with how things were going. The project turned out beautifully! The painters did excellent work that exceeded our expectations. They left the site spotless and were very focused on their attention to detail. We highly recommend Megna Painting and, based on our fantastic experience, have already committed to hiring them to do some interior painting for us. It is so refreshing to see a company that: is very competitive in pricing, provides such a high level of quality in their work, exceeds what is expected by the customer, provides a high level of personal involvement by the owner of the company, and does not "nickle and dime" the customer with change orders and scope creep. On top of all of this, Mike Megna is a great person and a delight to work with. Extremely happy with our choice!
