I'm probably the first person to review Fowlkes Pride Painters on Yelp, but they also have a few 5-star ratings on HomeAdvisor. I just bought my first home and was hiring painters for the first time ever, so I definitely wanted to look around and do some checking.
Penny was my main point of contact, and actually it's her husband Luis and his crew who do the painting, so I already was compelled to support a local family business. Penny herself is very personable and was able to answer all my questions in the initial phone calls and texts. I was surprised by how much they were able to beat other competitors' prices, but with the in-person walkthrough and going over the specifics of what else I was asking (not so much the painting, because we were just doing a single color on all surfaces, but also removing of various pieces of wallpaper and a sad laundry room shelf), I just said, well, ok then.
Scheduling was flexible, Luis' crew was very nice, Penny checked in when there were last minute questions (e.g., did I want the interior of the can lights in the kitchen to be painted to match the ceiling? I didn't even know that was an option), and they even took the trash bins out street side after they were done.
And of course, my house looks great. To be fair, the walls were an odd purple gray before so it was a low bar, but now not only are they a nice warm white, but with all the re-caulking, nail removals, and cleanup, it practically feels new!
So naturally I also asked them to do a couple bathroom cabinets and the kitchen island, which we were able to schedule the week after. I didn't even bother seeking other quotes. They're my go-to for paint jobs now. read more
