I just had my house exterior painted by Creative Painting Systems this week and it looks great! I must say, after reading the other 2 star review here, I have to totally disagree with Melisa S. I don't expect a contractor to be my best friend at the door, but be a professional business person and be confident in his/her product/skills, which is what George is. What he promised, he delivered..plus some! In fact, the other person reviewed a company without actually have them doing the work, which in my opinion isn't a company review at all. So here is a review from someone who actually had their house painted.
The owner George is one of the most caring contractors I have met. I wish there were more like him. He's a family man; he's served our country in the US Armed Forces; he holds his company and employees to the highest standards and cares for them greatly. He went well beyond to please me as his client and help me make smart, educated choices as we moved through the project.
George was on the job daily to make sure all was going as he desired and that I was continually pleased. His attention to detail was beyond my expectations and his crew is fantastic. In fact, I even gave George specific instructions regarding his careful attention to my next door neighbors lawn, as our houses are very close together, as well as washout areas and equipment storage, and he followed my wishes exactly, taking the extra time every day to meet my needs.
George and his crew located rotten boards on my home that I was not aware of and replaced them without any addition to the quote. I had my previous house painted before by a different contractor who's quote was low and so I took the job. But the difference between a low cost paint job and a professional paint job is night and day.
Spending the right money the first time is going to save me a lot of headache and costs down the road. I am fully confident that this paint job is going to last a long time. So, if you want a new friend, try a meet-up group. If you want your house painted superbly by a professional company, I highly recommend Creative Painting Systems, George, and his entire crew.
The thing I DO agree about with regard the other reviewer is that yes, George's wife, like George, is also on top of her game. The quote was presented to me on time, professionally and she communicated with me very quickly and triple checked with me about paint color choices and the timing of the services provided. She told me a start date well in advance and they started the very day they stated, even after endless days of rain. For a painter, that takes a sharp team and careful planning/estimating to stay on time in this summer's kind of weather.
