    Wall after heater removal
    Faro F.

    Mike was super quick to respond to my message on here and offered me a quote that was significantly more affordable than any other drywall repair estimates I had received from the bigger companies. And unlike the bigger guys he did not have a lengthy waiting period and offered to come out the next day. After arriving and assessing the work in person he actually lowered his quote by a few bucks and got started. While he worked he was polite and considerate of the fact that my partner and I work from home. Very thoughtful when it came to entering and exiting our home and all around easy to work with. He checked in periodically when necessary and before we knew it the work was completed. We are completely satisfied with the job he did. Be was quick, honest and efficient. The photos i posted are of the largest repair he patched however he did several other which came out just as great if not better. The area was cleaned before he left and it feels like we snapped out fingers and it was just done. Will be hiring him again for future work. Thanks Mike!

    I'm not changing my 5-star review of Parker Painting. I just want to add to my 5-star review to…read morereiterate to folks looking for honest workmanship and business dealings that you won't be disappointed by going with Parker Painting. My husband and I had a nightmare project of a house remodel. There were many low points and frustrations and some very very bad experiences with some contractors. So when we worked with contractors that actually did what they said they were going to do and then did the work with the utmost in workmanship and integrity, well, then I am just compelled to let the Yelp community know about them. So here is my second 5-star review of Parker Painting. I am so happy I hired Parker Painting. We were doing a remodel on an old house we inherited, and one of the bright notes of this giant and difficult project was Parker Painting. The price quoted was the lowest bid from all the other painting companies we contacted. Often times I'm afraid to take the lowest bid because I'm afraid of shoddy workmanship, but because they had such high ratings on both Yelp and Google, I gambled and we hit the jackpot. The paint job entailed: 1) exterior painting of stucco walls, all the trim on the outside, the metal garage door, the side door into the garage, and the patio wood patio cover, and 2) interior painting of all walls, ceilings and interior doors including the front door. The exterior work was done several months before the interior simply because the interior was waiting for other projects to finish first. Parker Painting worked with our schedule which helped take the pressure off us. So the exterior work went smoothly. Then it was time to paint the inside. Don't worry; it's all good. Because we had extensive repair work to the interior walls and because we had popcorn ceiling removed, there was a lot of raw wall board with new texture applied, which meant that this new texture absorbed primer and paint like crazy. Plus, there were several areas with water damage which required extra strength primer to cover up the water stains and keep them from leaking through the paint. Jason, the owner and the person who gave us the quote, admitted to me that he underestimated the amount of primer, paint and labor that the interior required, and applying these extra coats of primer and paint added to his labor cost. He told me that he was just breaking even on the interior painting in regards to labor, but all he asked from us was if we would pay (we did) for the extra amount of paint, primer and extra strength primer that was required to do the job correctly. He did not ask us for more for the extra cost of labor. I call that integrity in business. Throughout all this, the work effort and quality of work remained top quality. The work crew were meticulous in taping off parts that were not to be painted. The quality of work was/is top notch. As a matter of fact, our electrical contractor asked me who we hired to paint the house and then took a business card I had on me for his own reference. His comment about the quality of the paint job was that he's seen A LOT of paint jobs and this was one of the finest he has seen. He told me he's seen a lot of slop work and that this job was top quality and well done. Parker Painting also painted the interior of my brother's home. He and his wife were both pleased with the bid price and with the quality of work. The work crew are friendly, approachable, cleaned up the work site before they left each day, and showed the utmost in workmanship. Parker Painting is in my permanent contact list of contractors to hire and I would absolutely recommend them to friends, family, and the Yelp community. If you want a great price, quality work, and honest people, then Parker Painting is the painting company you need to hire.

    Cameron and his crew were recommended to me by a mutual friend to paint my house…read more It was very easy for me to work with Cameron. I received a simple, easy to understand proposal, they showed up when they said they would and did a fantastic job. They paid attention to detail and I felt they went above and beyond my expectation.

    WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, Owner threatened me!…read more Jayjay D. post is in line with my experience with Cameron, the owner of PB Painting. Jack was my estimator, he knew I was in a time crunch to turn the home over to new tenants who had kids starting school at the end of August. Jack's quote estimated the job would take 95.9 hours which calculates to approx. 12 days. On August 28 @ 4:00 p.m. Cameron texted me asking for a phone call. When I phoned him he said he needed to pick up a progress payment. I reminded him that the contract says I am obligated to make a progress payment when 1 coat of paint is on all walls. I explained that the downstairs had not been touched in 12 days! At that he HUNG UP ON ME! ****Yes, the OWNER OF THE COMPANY HUNG UP ON ME! He subsequently texted me and apologized for ending the call abruptly. The job took 18 days, most of the time there was only one guy, Jorge, painting a 2700 sq ft house. When I reached out to PB Painting, they sent 2 more guys for 2 days, then 1 guy for a couple of days. I lost $933.31 in rent due to the job not being done until 9/7. IT GETS BETTER.....I had no idea they would finish the night of 9/7. On 9/8 at 6 a.m. I got on a plane for a 7 hour flight during which Cameron threatened to file a Mechanic's Lien on the house and subsequently FORECLOSE if I didn't get him payment on 9/8! I explained I was out of town for 1 week and his text reponse was "No, that is not going to work, we need payment asap" Initially I deducted $933 from his final payment, then realized that this guy is completely out of control and I feared for my safety. I paid him the full amount due and WILL NEVER refer this company to anyone. However, I did require him to exchange a Lien Release for the payment, even though he said he never actually filed a lien. I did not trust him! ** PB Painting, Cameron Maltby should have his contractor's license revoked!
