We've never hired a painting contractor before. I'm an excellent painter and have always handled…read morethe interior paint jobs needing to be done. However, we have a huge den with a 12-foot ceiling, and it was more than I wanted to tackle or even had the time to do so. I knew there was quite a bit of wall and ceiling repair needing to be done, too, prior to painting. So, this time around, I decided to hire professionals to do the job. Our flooring guy recommended 1st Class Painting and Restoration, assuring us they'd do a great job. After getting a few quotes, we opted to go with them. As a couple who hates to deal with contractors and therefore does most of the home improvement jobs ourselves, I can only say I wish all contractors were as easy to work with as 1st Class. It was a smooth process from start to finish. Getting someone out here to give us a quote was done quickly. Getting us on the schedule that was conducive to our timeline was also super easy. We were told the painters would arrive between 8:30-9:30 a.m. each day, but they were here no later than 8:15 a.m. Early arrival is something that never happens with contractors! The crew worked nonstop (except for their lunch break) for the two days it took them to repair the damaged areas, sand and then paint the ceiling, walls and trim. I'm still amazed that they got it done so quickly! It'd have taken me at least a solid month of working every Saturday and Sunday from dawn to dusk to do the same job. The room looks awesome! I love the paint color that I chose, and they did a great job applying it to the walls. The ceiling, the crown molding, the baseboards, and the other trim all look brand new, too. I can't recommend this company highly enough.
