They just finished another perfect project for us. We have done exterior and this another interior one. Once again, great quality work, worked quickly, accurately and kept things neat and clean. Price very fair. Highly recommend. read more

Chris came to my house to give me an estimate. I called Hate to Paint because they painted my neighbor's house in Seaview. The guy never sent the estimate. This happens all the time. It is so rude for these business owners to take up homeowners' valuable time only to not follow through. I've been trying to fix up my house for a year now, and I can't tell you how many businesses do this. Things have changed. read more

Chris and Una at Hate To Paint are true pros when it comes to bidding, managing and of course doing paint jobs for us. Their crews are excellent and we have had all jobs with them come in on time and on budget. I could not recommend them highly enough. read more

Chris and his team are true experts when it comes to painting. My wife and I hate painting and always end up making a mess when we try to do it ourselves. Thankfully, Hate To Paint took care of everything and painted the inside of our home beautifully. The results were clean, professional, and exactly what we hoped for. read more

I was looking for interior repainting of a townhouse, and needed it done in a week so my family could move in before end of month. Got three different quotes, and the first two were iffy on timeline and also very expensive. Hate to Paint came through with a can-do attitude about the timeline and a much more manageable quote. Great and efficient communication with Chris about the quote, scheduling, and color selection. He handed off to the painter crew for the actual work, and their communication was great as well. Detailed prep work, took care to confirm color selection and placement, and stuck to the timeline. They started on Tuesday and were done by Saturday morning. Very happy with Hate to Paint's services, and have already recommended them to one of my neighbors. read more

I met Hate to Paint? at a Seattle Home Show recently and I made the decision to give my 77-year-old house a fresh look. Several other painters from the show gave me bids and I think Hate to Paint? offered the best value. It's easy to forget how much prep work there is--the crew worked at my house for 9 days to achieve this result. Hate to Paint? includes pressure washing, using special primer on the brick and on the wood door, and caulking, not to mention a free color consultation. (I just left a review for Anya Moller Color Design, who came up with these colors.) The team was painstaking, careful, hard workers and I think the results speak for themselves. We didn't discuss everything beforehand, like whether the subterranean basement door was included, but it seemed that everything was included, however I wanted to approach things--for 9 days, they were my painters, with zero surprises on the final bill. I can highly recommend Hate to Paint? Ask for Una. read more

Great service, fit us in in a short period of time, and did SO WELL! I'm a real estate agent and will be sending my clients their way!!

To review the overall work, I have to say the paint job, the consistency of the project, and getting everything completed quickly was excellent. We appreciated the team that Una ran to ensure the project was completed with accuracy. Where things went incredibly south was with Chris who does the bids, communication, and payments. I asked for an estimate that included our house, siding replacement, and shed. The original estimate seemed incredibly high and instead of getting another bid, Chris negotiated with us to bring the overall cost down. We asked for siding to be replaced as well as our shed roof to be fixed which we had understood as carpentry. The total cost of the estimated project seemed more responsible once we discussed further and we started the project. Half way through the project Una let us know that the siding was going to cost a few hundred dollars more which we were ok with to get the work done. During the project we never received a revised estimate, nor did we receive any written communication of the revised total cost. We didn't think much of it and then when the project completed we received an invoice $3500 more than our original agreement. I asked both Una and Chris to fix the invoice and to include the initial down payment we gave them before starting the project which was not included in the final invoice statement. Instead of changing to the price we agreed on, was given a run around story about why we were charged so much more and charge the same price as the original bid. But they did include the down payment to the invoice. I was incredibly frustrated by the lack of communication and transparency given to the increased project cost. And instead was just given the final project payment through an invoice vs having a conversation before moving forward. It is also important to note that we finished this project on a Saturday, and I have asked Chris and Una for more transparency around the increased costs and material costs that caused this. On Wednesday (3 days later) I am now being sent aggressive texts from Chris demanding payment after not giving me a clear response. I would not recommend this business due to the unprofessional communication and client services that we have received and would have used another painting service if we had known that we would have been unexpectedly charged $2500 more along with the incredibly unprofessional texts and communication we have received by just asking for clarity. read more

I needed someone to repaint my entire house on fairly short notice. I was actually referred to Hate to Paint from another painting company that didn't have time to schedule new projects. Chris provided great communication and was able to understand exactly what I needed. There was some small hiccups around the start date and a few small specifics for the job - but once the crew arrived they did an incredible job. Lots of attention to detail, moved quickly, and left with a quality job done right that will last me for years to come without having to redo anything. I'm willing to give a "pass" on the issues because I knew I was squeezing this in last minute and because Chris was always available for a call to sort anything out. read more

I HATE TO PAINT!!!! Actually, These guys Love to do it and they are AMAZING at it. From a very first phone call you would know you will be treated right. The project went smooth, on budget, on time. Una's knowledge of the paints and finishes is astonishing, he can/will recommend specialty paints/brands/shops you have never heard of. Would highly recommend. STILL WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! Called Una back to add some more rooms to paint/remodel cause first time things went so well and looked AMAZING. Was hoping to get them in ASAP and done before Christmas. Although the project was pretty big one Hate to Paint made id happen, Christmas Miracle ;) they finished everything on Saturday, THANK YOU UNA!!!! Called Una again to do exterior paint for me. This guys are AMAZING!!! On time, hassle free AWESOME service. read more

We were thinking of getting our house on the market to sell and were going to need to get some painting done to make it picture-ready. The schedule we needed to be on to get this stuff done was also very tight. Our real estate agent recommended Hate to Paint. Chris got back to us very quickly and set up a time to get a quote done. Chris came out a few days later, and the quote we got was very reasonable. And even though the team was very busy in this crazy home improvement and real estate market we've got going on right now, Chris was ready to get us in to their work schedule ASAP In the end we decided not to put our house on the market right now so we ended up not needing the painting work done at this time. But I was really impressed by HtP's responsiveness and timeliness. Chris was great at communicating and always responded quickly. That level of responsiveness and ability to accommodate rapid requests is really rare among home contractors, so this makes HtP a real standout. We'll definitely be calling them again when we need painting work done. read more

I called and set up an appointment to have someone give me a quote for painting the interior of our condo. I texted the point of contact at the scheduled quote time only to receive a response that said "Sorry forgot to tell u We will pass". I called their main-line to inquire as to why they passed on an interior paint-job, and never heard back. I'd suggest going with someone else. read more

SO happy I came across hate to paint on yelp! After doing some research on local painters, I gave Hate To Paint a call. Chris got back to me right away and we discussed my project. He came by my place for a quote (mask on of course) and he was such a pleasure to work with. I also met with Una and he was also very helpful and friendly. It wasn't a hard sell with their professionalism and great prices, so I booked them to paint the interior of my home. and I'm glad I did because they did a fast and excellent job! One room got painted the wrong color from a communication snafu, but all was resolved and the room was painted the color I desired. I wouldn't hesitate to use Chris, Una and team at HTP. They guys are hands down the best! Honest, great people, and totally fair prices. Thumbs up! read more

They were recommended by a friend. They did a great job at a fantastic price and under schedule. We lucked out because many other painters were already scheduled. They did lots of derailed prep work, which helped with finishing at least a day ahead of schedule. I highly recommend them. read more

It was great working with Una and Chris! My freshly painted walls are beautiful and they finished ahead of schedule and on budget. Communication was always easy and they were very quick to respond. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future. read more

Chris & Una are fantastic! They have done 3 jobs for us so far. When I bid out the first job, what I liked about Chris' bid was that while it wasn't the cheapest, it was the most affordable for doing the job the right way. They do quality work at a reasonable price, and expeditiously! Highly recommended! read more

We hired interior painters twice this year, for the house we sold and then for the house we bought a few months later. On our first project Hate to Paint's bid was thorough, detailed, and priced competitively but we went with another company anyway. Big mistake on our part. The other company left our home a total mess after they were "finished" with the job and ran two days behind their promised schedule. Fast forward to us buying our new house and Hate to Paint was the only painter we called for an estimate. Pricing was what we expected, they were able to work with our tight scheduling time frame to get us on the books, and our house was IMMACULATE when they were finished with the job. We didn't find a single spot that needed touch up work, the floor was clean of dust and debris, and the work was done two days earlier than promised. Especially being able to compare this experience to our prior experience with other painters, we can't recommend Hate to Paint highly enough. They were on top of everything and we love the work they did. read more

I recently hired "Hate To Paint? Inc." to paint baseboards for my home with a tight deadline and high expectations for quality. I'm happy to share that Chris and Una at "Hate To Paint? Inc" exceeded my expectations with their quality work and my project was completed on time and within budget. Una painted the 96 linear feet of baseboard with two coats paying attention to detail and using the highest quality paint. Each piece of molding is flawless. The painting process was completed in my garage. Una took the time to create his workspace with plastic sheeting, protecting the surrounds from paint and ensuring that painting environment was clean and dustless. Chris is easy to work; sharing timely and clear communications, technical knowledge and aesthetic sense. Both Chris and Una are experienced contractors and painters. read more

Hate to Paint did an amazing job! We really enjoyed working with both Chris and Una. They were communicative and friendly in all interactions. We were prepping our house to sell and we really needed the interior refreshed. We wanted the job done quickly but also wanted high quality. Chris was able to give us a quote quickly that was very reasonable. Within days of quote they were able to start and finish the job. It was such a great experience that, when we decided that we also wanted the exterior painted, we reached out to Chris again. He was able to come out the next day and provide another reasonable quote for exterior painting. They also had a designer come out and provide recommendations of what colors to use. Una kept us up to date with the progress which was great since Seattle weather isn't always conducive to painting outside. Again, they did a great job and the house looks better than ever! We would definitely reach out to Hate To Paint again! read more

A coworker recommended Hate to Paint to us. We were looking to repaint the interiors of a house before we moved in so we were on somewhat of a timeline. We called another company who wouldn't even consider interior painting until the rain started (a few months away) and Chris was able to come meet us for a quote in a few days and then slot us into a sudden cancellation and so it was all done, bid + job, within a week's time. I had painted some test swatches on parts of the trim that looked factory finished, and they fixed it up so well you can't tell where I had messed it up in the first place! I would totally call them up if we ever decide to paint some of the rooms we skipped this round because I couldn't decide on a color. read more

Had an amazing experience with this company. I would recommend their services to anyone! Love the job they did in my house. They were very efficient and got things done in a timely manner as promised! read more

I am so happy the work that the team did on my new home! I bought a new home that is a bit of a "fixer upper" and the first thing it needed was a fresh paint job. It is amazing what some paint will do to a place. It looks fresh and modern! Chris and Una's team were on time every day, friendly and professional. I appreciated their attention to detail - specifically asking where I wanted the new paint to stop at the spots we were not working on at this time. I felt like I had some new buddies in my house vs. strangers painting. They even rolled up my light colored bathroom floor mats as to not mess those up while using the bathroom. Both Chris and Una called during the 4 days the team was in my home to check in how things were doing and if I was happy with the work. If you truly hate to paint and need to spend that time on family, work or other projects, I highly recommend inviting Hate to Paint? to do that work! read more

I want to retract my one star review posted a couple days ago. It was a result of my short fuse and the miscommunications inherent in texting. The five star rating of this review means nothing except that the review requires one. So far, I have nothing to rate, not yet having gotten so far as to have any work done. read more

Prompt, efficient, pleasant to have in the house, Uma and the crew did an excellent job painting our kitchen and hallway. The work was meticulous and we will call Hate to Paint the next time we need painting service. read more

The guys did an excellent job painting the entire interior on a home I was working on. They were done even earlier than promised. They paid attention do the details that needed to be repaired prior to painting. I am very happy with their service and will definitely hire them again. read more

I'm giving this business one star because of their flakiness, not because of their quality. I wouldn't know their quality because they cancelled about an hour before they were supposed to show up to give me an estimate. They said they couldn't give me a cost estimate without first seeing the space I wanted painted. After I got the text message cancelling, I asked if we could reschedule. No response to my text. No follow up whatsoever. So I basically wasted a week waiting to get an estimate. Fortunately another painting company came through. read more

I had the pleasure of hiring Hate to Paint to handle an interior project I had no intention of undertaking myself. Chris came out in a timely manner and provided a comprehensive cost estimate that was actually less then I had anticipated. Once my wife and I were able to decide on colors, we were able to schedule the painting to begin within the week. Una and Ider arrived at the scheduled time, always a pleasant surprise since we live in the boondocks. The amount of preparation they did prior to any actual painting is incredible and I could never have done that myself nor would I have had the patience to attempt it. Each day Ider arrived and went about his work and I marveled at how he could accomplish all that he did in the hours given. At the end of each day the house was "safe" for living. I cannot thank them enough for making a difficult project so easy and seamless. If you hate to paint or prep, don't hesitate to call Hate to Paint. It will be money well spent! read more

Chris and the team are amazing. Chris reacts quickly to all phone calls and emails. The whole team is always polite, professional and very attentive to details. read more

I can't thank Chris, Una, and the gang enough for their great work! They painted our entire house and fixed some water damage around a window. Their attention to detail was amazing, and the price was definitely reasonable. Highly recommended! Thanks guys! read more

Prompt, friendly, extremely professional. Whether your job is a little one or big these gentlemen do a fantastic job. I highly recommend Hate to paint!!! read more

I called Chris at Hate to Paint with a short lead time job of prepping/painting a badly peeling chimney. He was very responsive with both the bid, and getting the job done. The chimney looks great, and the area around the job was left clean. Best of all-no paint spots on the roof! Chris was an excellent communicator, and proved to be very reliable. I would definitely recommend Hate to Paint. read more

I am so happy I found "Hate to Paint?"! After reaching the limits of my stepladder (and talent) I needed help finishing the paint job for my entryway with 15' ceilings. It was a tiny job, but most of the quotes I received from other painters mandated an expensive minimum charge. Chris at "Hate to Paint?" came to the rescue. He was willing to work with me on the budget and scale of my project which literally saved me hundreds. Ganzo from his crew showed up early, did an expert-quality job, and I love how it turned out: clean lines, excellent coverage - just perfect! I'm truly grateful for this personalized service and happy to support a local company. I'll definitely be calling them again. read more

I needed 2 walls (orange and lime green) painted white and 1 of them needed to be sanded from my attempt at painting. Hate To Paint did an amazing job especially on correcting the wall that I messed up. I highly recommend Hate To Paint! read more
