So I went back to buy another quart only to have them say "bring the paint back-- we can re-tint it."

Covered the not-pretty color with a deep dark chocolate brown. What service!

I hired Paul Myhre and his team to paint the interior of my home. It's simply the highest quality…read morepaint job I've ever seen. This is a team (Paul, Sean, Joe, and others) that goes above and beyond to get the job done right. They volunteered to do things that I never asked them to do simply because they wanted everything to have that "finished" look in the end. When other contractors were needed, Paul had contacts also committed to top quality work. This is a team that I simply trust. They are very reasonably priced, coming in below the other quotes I received. See my photos, which speak for themselves.

If you want to use the very best painters in Gainesville, you've got to call Mark Myhre at Gator…read morePainters. They are amazing! Nobody else could have done what they did for me. Not only did Mark and his crew, especially Kirk, do an incredible job painting my entire townhome, but time after time they went above and beyond to do a ton of extra things for me at no charge. When my tenant moved out two weeks ago, I decided to sell my townhome. I knew it needed a good paint job so that I could sell it quickly, so I called up four painters to get bids. When Mark came out to give me a quote, he was the only one who spent over an hour looking at the walls, ceilings, trim, etc. It was clear that he knew exactly what needed to be done to make my townhome look its best. Out of the four quotes, one was cheaper than Mark, and two charged more. However, the cheaper one had kindof a tantrum when he found out there would be furniture in the townhome when it had to be painted, and since now he had to "take time to cover up all the furniture," he upped his price by $200. I knew I didn't want to work with him. After meeting Mark and seeing how thorough and professional he was, I knew I could trust Mark 100% to do the best job possible. He also always returned my calls and texts right away. The other nice thing about Mark is that he did not charge me any kind of deposit. The other three painters all wanted a huge deposit up front (1/3 to 1/2 down.) The biggest challenge in my townhome was the living room ceiling. It had a huge crack in it and was sagging. I knew I could never sell my townhome with a defective ceiling, but no worries - Mark went to work and fixed it 100%. He made it look better than new - you would never know there had ever been a crack there. Mark also repaired the bathroom wall and caulked the two bathtubs for me. He made sure everything he and his crew did looked perfect. Even though Mark did so many extra things for me, he never once asked for a penny more than our original contract. One of the extra things that Gator Painters did for me was when Kirk hung up the shelving that had fallen down in the bedroom closet. This was not part of the contract, but he did this for me just to be nice. Not only were Mark and Kirk the most amazing painters ever, but they also are wonderful, kind people who really care about their customers. There are no words to say how grateful I am to them for all the hard work they did to fix my townhome, and to paint every inch of it so perfectly. I am so happy that I found Gator Painters. I recommend them 100% to anyone who wants to hire the best painters ever! Thank you, Mark and Kirk, for an amazing paint job and for all the extras you did for me. You are beyond awesome! P.S. My realtor put my townhome on the market on June 27, 2018, and it sold the next day! I fully credit the quick sale to Mark for making my townhome look the very best it could. P.P.S. Here are some pictures of Mark fixing my ceiling, and of the beautiful paint job in my townhome.

They refuse to open a new bundle of wood in order for me to obtain nice, straight wood. I had a 16' deck I wanted to build, and I could not get enough 2x6's that were straight and defect free for the visible areas. For the price I would have paid, I expected good lumber for the visible areas. I could deal with the defects for the parts that wouldn't be seen. So I left the wood there and went elsewhere where I knew I could get enough staight wood for the visible areas. The second time I went the for another project, I wanted to purchase 300' of 3/4" PVC. This was during COVID. The sales associate wanted to mock me for "hoarding" pipe. I said something to one of the managers and he didn't care. Again, I just left the pipe there and went elsewhere. At a company I used to work for, we had three pallets of solar salt delivered. There were a few ripped bags. Lowe's policy is to write on the back what was wrong, the company I worked for, there policy was to write it on the front of the bill. The driver cussed me out for not following Lowe's policy. I do not work for Lowe's, but at the time UF Facilities Services. Whose policy do you think I will follow? My manager called the manager at Lowe's who just didn't care. I wanted to purchase a DeWalt grinder, found a better price on Amazon. Went to Lowe's to try to get a price match on the same exact item. They refused, saying they don't compete with Amazon. Avoid the Lowe's at all costs. Customer service is lacking, and the prices they want for less than desirable wood is ridiculous.
