I am not one to write a review unless I am REALLY satisfied or REALLY unsatisfied with a service…read more Working with John from Pristine Decors was one of the absolute best experiences I have ever had working with a company on our home. He has a very down to earth and genuine personality, and truly values 100% total customer satisfaction. I called him to inquire about his services, left a voicemail, and received a phone call back from him within the hour. He was at our door at 8am the next morning to do a walkthrough before pricing out the job. Even though we knew the exact job needed, he wanted to ensure he really understood the lay of the land and provided an accurate quote, which he turned around the same day of the inspection. After agreeing to the price (which was super market competitive!), we scheduled our service for the following week. John and his team arrived on time and even texted me ahead of time as a friendly reminder of our appointment. They did a fantastic job - we are SO happy with the results! Truly professional work, and I am so happy we spent the money to do something we could have easily done ourselves - which wouldn't have even turned out half as good as the work John's team did. He also did a walkthrough with us at the end to make sure we were pleased. All around such a great experience. And unlike many tradesman these days who are only in it for the money, John really is passionate about what he does and will give you guidance on anything from what paint to buy to how he plans out his work on the project. Will only recommend Pristine Decors for any of my friends and family wanting paint services - thank you so much, John! PS My husband is a MAJOR perfectionist (love you, sweetie!), and even he was completely satisfied! Woohoo! :)

They did not tape anything, they did not put floor protection, they painted over the trim, they did not do 2 coats, and the best of all was Sean saying it was not the greatest outcome but he would not fix it or charge less. Result was that I had to hire someone else to redo the work properly. Kudos to Sean for his honesty, but really? I will never hire him again, and, of course, will never recommend him.

I would definitely recommend using Smith Painting and plan to use them again for any future painting needs.

By the looks of it, Living Social is giving him a lot of business and unfortunately he doesn't have the crew or organization skills to handle the volume of work. At first, it was extremely hard to even get a confirmed time to paint my place once Nathan came in and gave me an estimate. There was a lot of talk and promises to get back to me ASAP which never happened until I nagged over and over to please put something on the calendar. I don't think this business has a calendar. Appointments are handled via text and need constant babysitting/reminders to make sure that they actually happen. Don't get me wrong, Nathan is a nice person but is simply incapable of executing. He told me that he didn't have enough people to do the work and that he was hiring more contractors. I was annoyed but content thinking that it must mean his company does great work. Right? Wrong. When I finally had the appointment finalIzed, 2 guys showed up who clearly did not want to be there. They took breaks to smoke and relax and complained about the amount of work they have to do. Like what? Weren't you hired to do the work and aren't you getting paid for it? Mind you, it's not a 5 bedroom mansion we are talking about. I have a 1 bedroom apartment that is 810 sq ft. Ok, complain away as long as the quality of work was good, right? Wrong again. I am attaching the pics of their work for you to see, just so that you know I'm not just venting. I have hardwood floors and it was splattered with paint because they didn't have enough coverings to protect the floor. In fact they arrived with NO floor covers at all and had to leave to bring them. What painting pros get to the work site without basic necessities to do the job? The paint drops were alsoon my bathroom window, tiles and sinks. They also messed up my coat rack because instead of taking it off the wall, they decided to paint around it and of course painted directly on the mahogany wood of the rack. When I noticed what they did, they promptly removed the rack and tried to remove said paint and when all of it didn't come off, they gave me an advice on how to remove it myself. There were so many spots on walls that weren't painted through, I stopped counting and pointing them out. By 5pm one of the contractors faded entirely and just sat there talking about what he's going to do when he gets home and what type of food he's going to eat. So I paid them, saw them out and immersed myself in paint removal off the floor and other surfaces. I texted Nathan the next day and told him about my experience. I sent him the pics of the shoddy work. He appeared to be furious and straight out said "You're absolutely right. I just don't see how they did such crappy work... I'm going to give them a call to see what hell... That's just pure laziness and carelessness." I was being understanding and told him that he should probably reconsider hiring these guys again if he cares about the reputation of his business as much as he says he does. He promised to come out and fix everything as soon as possible. We scheduled for Friday afternoon and... I didn't hear from him. Two Friday's later, I sent him a text and told him that he obviously doesn't care about the company's reputation and that I don't even want to deal with this anymore. Needless to say, I do not recommend this business to anyone. Stay away.

My husband contacted someone for painting services, and I contacted a few others for quotes. The first person to respond to me was Excellence Painting! Gerardo was so fast with email response time, and he was the ONLY company that could come and see the place that same day I called him. We scheduled for him to come to our place at 5PM (to provide an estimate) and he was on time! He came in, was very friendly, and walked around to see what work we were looking to get painted, and left. Later that evening, he was the only one that sent me an email with a quoted estimate. I asked him for an estimate for labor only, and then with paint. He provided both estimates! After reviewing multiple quotes, I decided to go with Excellence Painting because I felt that Gerardo, from the beginning, was very professional, and responded in a timely fashion! I felt I could count on him and his crew! He was also very competitively priced!!! The next day, Gerardo stopped by the place, and helped me finalize paint colors based on what I was looking for. He told me he would start the next day, but had a project in the morning to complete, so he would come in the afternoon. He came later in the afternoon (around 6-ish), and he started the painting. Then he came the next day with his crew, and finished the majority of the place. He finished everything yesterday! The place looks beautiful, as I will add photos of his work. My husband and I are VERY HAPPY!!!! Biggest thing for me - Gerardo was ALWAYS responsive, we primarily spoke through email, but he would respond within 5-10 minutes! He was always very energetic and happy! Whenever he said he would do something, he did it! He was never late, he was very articulate and detailed! I would absolutely 1000% recommend him!!!! I am very lucky to have met a great person such as Gerardo, and we will absolutely be using his company again for future painting needs!

Accurate Painters is an extraordinary team of professionals. They painted the entire interior of…read moreour home and although they were here for nearly 3 weeks, it was a pleasure to welcome them each day. Their work is not just accurate, it is immaculate. In addition, they follow through on commitments, manage their schedule so they can complete the job as planned, and the quality of service they provide is the best we've had. Alex was a constant presence. He was respectful of team members who came and went, and kept the folks he reported to up to date so that everyone was equally informed about the project's progress. Whether he was reinstalling window coverings, moving furniture to protect it, or talking our cats out from underneath a bed, Alex (and all of the team, for that matter) was consistently competent and kind. This company is top notch! --

This is especially amazing in the dining room since it hadn't been painted in at least 20 years and the patch matches perfectly. The painters are polite, professional and they clean up after themselves. And Adam answers emails & texts right away and always kept me informed. And to top it off, the price is right.

I needed walls, doors, baseboards all done and we were able to settle on a fair price and I scheduled for the following week since I was also getting my floors buffed and stained. During this time, Edgar recommended some paint colors and he was able to provide a COI as required by my building. It was easy to get a hold of him via text and he was always prompt in responding. Edgar arrived with all supplies (tarp, paint, caulk, rollers etc) as we had agreed upon. He spent the majority of the first day in patching and repairing and setting up for the actual paint job. The next day I stopped by to see the progress and I certainly appreciated his attention to detail. Edgar worked alone since his crew was on another job site but it didn't matter since I was in no rush and he ended up doing a great job by himself. In addition to painting, Solano does perform home remodeling too. Based on my experience, I definitely recommend Edgar for your home improvement needs.
