Very pleased with work done by Lonestar Painters. Ryan cleaned my outside windows and outside of my gutters. He even did some extra things I asked him to do at no charge. He was professional, very pleasant and easy to communicate with. He was also meticulous. I will use this company again to clean my windows and seriously consider using this company when the time comes to paint my house. read more

Lonestar's owners and their entire crew did an amazing job for us! Well, several amazing jobs, actually. We initially hired them to paint our master bathroom, but with their high quality work, attention to detail, and extremely reasonable prices we kept adding projects from our "wish list" to their scope. Ultimately, not only did they paint the bathroom, but they tiled one of the walls (it looks amazing), painted the upstairs bathroom cabinets, a couple of doors that needed some love, and ultimately, painted most of the exterior of our home. They also threw in the installation of a lot of cabinet hardware (handles and pulls) that we had intended to do ourselves, but due to procrastination (and laziness--let's be honest), hadn't gotten around to doing yet. Lonestar's owners came to our house every day (often multiple times) to check the progress of the work and make sure everything was being done according to our wishes and expectations. I really appreciated their attention to detail and their passion for making sure that everything was done exactly right and that we were happy with the results. If you want a job done well, done right the first time, done on schedule, and done at a very reasonable price, don't hesitate to call LoneStar. They will be my "go to" guys for as long as we live here. read more

Reposting and updating this Review after removing last names of owner and general manager in initial update. While they can be commonly found on the internet as tied to this company, I did not realize it violated the general guidelines of privacy. This was originally posted around April 6, 2013. ---------------------------------------------------------- This company is a division of Saving America Energy, LLC. They do business under both names, so I felt I needed to have a review in both places. If you are looking for a company who will take your money and not deliver the work, these are the guys for you. Please see my review and updates under their Saving America Energy page: http://www.yelp.com/biz/saving-america-energy-austin-2#hrid:bAs1QSTST6mqarVHS7CWrw This saga has been going on nearly 5 months. They have taken nearly $2K of my money and I have a partially painted house to show for it. The latest - the painter, David, did not show today because their check to him bounced. He did not have the courtesy to call me and tell me he was not coming and took off with all the paint and materials that were purchased with my money. I have asked him to return them so I can get the job completed. He said he would be right over. That was three hours ago. I have left messages, texts and emails for both the owner, Bob, and the General Manager, Dale. They have failed to contact me back. I have not had any luck with the gutter guy/foreman Mike or the painter David. If you come across any of these guys, run. I have filed a police report. ---------------------------------------------------------- April 19 Update: For the record, I have still not heard back from Dale or Bob. Not one communication. They have not offered me a refund. They have not attempted to make anything right. In addition to the police report, I have filed complaints with the BBB and the Attorney General's office. I have hired folks to fix the job that they botched up. Chimney repairs not done: They did not even do the repairs on my chimney and assumed I would never know. The contractor I hired to complete the repairs found a bunch of nails they had pulled out sitting on top of the chimney cap, none of the rotting siding replaced, and wood missing from the chimney cap and a piece of siding missing. There was even a hammer left up there by them. I guess they figured I could not see it, so they did not have to do the work, even though the gutter guy/foreman, Mike, assured me the repairs were done while he was on the roof in March. Siding repairs done improperly on the back of the house: Many of the siding repairs they did do, were done incorrectly, including using indoor nails, silicone instead of caulk, which is not paintable, and incorrectly placing the siding repairs above the slab line instead of protecting it. They destroyed siding that previously did not need repair when they were trying to repair rotted pieces and did not offer to fix. They just painted over stuff without proper preparation. The paint they started and never finished showed paint right over over wasps nests and debris, as they failed to properly power wash and prep the house. Trim that should have been replaced was not replaced or caulked. I have photos and will post them in my personal photos on my yelp account. Charges to my credit card and no merchandise received. They purchased gutter covers on my behalf, using my American Express number, but failed to provide an invoice or merchandise in spite of my requesting both. So, for nearly $2k, I have vapor gutter covers and a big mess to clean up which will cost me more money to have done correctly. Instead of hiring skilled workers to do the job correctly, they sent people with the wrong tools to do a job they were not skilled for. They have sent more than 8 different people to my home since December just doing, and redoing repairs. The siding repairs were touched by at least 5 different people, sent by them. Everything they did will have to be redone correctly. Everything! read more

Lonestar Painters exemplifies a company we whole heartedly trusted with our home. Their quality of work is exceptional! Originally we used their services to paint our house. Then they stained our arbor. The biggest job they just completed was replacing our entire fence to a beautiful and detailed dream! We highly recommend Lonestar Painters! We look forward to working with them again when they install our hardwood floors! It's difficult to find a company that does it all! We consider them our trusted go-to Company! read more

See all

Worse painters! No commitment, unprofessional, never on time, no responsibility. it's been 6 months still things are pending after calling multiple times in a week. read more

If you have a painting job......... THESE ARE YOUR GUYS!!! I received a bid from this company to do a complete exterior painting job. Not only were they prompt they were meticulous. Very professional, had no problems with daily communication. Kept me informed of what work was to be performed each day. I had other tradesmen doing other jobs as well and there was never an issue of working around each other, very accommodating. Business took me away from the project and I asked if pics could be sent daily to show me color/progress. They were not only happy to grant my request but also elaborated on pics when/where necessary. The job was started and completed within the specific dates indicated. The site was left in the same condition as when they arrived. Again, I highly recommend this company and do intend to have them back to complete some interior work. read more

We are sorry to say - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Our experience was, at the very least, horrible. Were had the entire interior of our 2-story house painted, ceilings included, as well as our kitchen and bathroom cabinets. This was a 2-week job. I will say we were impressed with the way things started. The floor was covered with paper all the way up the stairs and throughout the hallway of the 2nd floor. The furniture was also covered with plastic. once the downstairs areas were painted and the crew left for the weekend, we noticed areas that needed to be touched up. Were also noticed paint on the back side of the (wood stained) handrails. I sent Ever a message letting him know that there were a lot of touch ups needed. He informed me that a complete walkthrough would be done and touch ups provided. Then came the 2nd floor... where everything went wrong. First, the paper had been REMOVED BEFORE any painting had begun. The hallway was painted seemingly enough without incident. The master bedroom was painted the WRONG color. NONE of the furniture was covered on any of the bedrooms. We found paint on some of the furniture. One of the nightstands in the master was randomly tossed on the bed tossing everything inside askew and broke the tracks for the drawer. There was paint on the new Berber carpet in the bedroom and closet - NO DROP CLOTH had been put down in any of the bedrooms or closets. The front facing of the blind on a window in the master was taken off to paint around the window and apparently one of the clips to hold it in place broke at some point and they TAPED it back on thinking we wouldn't see it. We were not told about this and they were obviously trying to hide it. We found paint on the curtain rods and pulleys. Then while putting the furniture back in the master, we began to move the chest of drawers and noticed the one of the back legs had been split from being dragged along the carpet. We were not informed of this either. Some of the drawers had been taken out to lighten the load and when our back in some of the tracks were broken AND there was also a hole in the back. We also noticed that paint had been spilled or dropped on the wood flooring in the hallway that wasn't cleaned up very well. There are still places that are smeared. They didn't paint behind the toilets or move the stove to paint the wall or the inside end of the cabinets. Also, the crew washed out their paint equipment IN OUT FLOWER BED. Needless to say, everything is now dead. E also had to remove paint from our Harley that was in the garage. No paintings was done in the garage?? There seems to be some kind of miscommunication or disconnect with Ever and his dad and the crew. We never had the feeling that we all were on the same page. This may have been "one of those jobs" where nothing goes right, that does happen. However, our advice - save yourselves a lot of stress and use a different company to do your painting. read more

Used them twice: once when we were moving into our house and again when our ceiling had to be redone. Both times they were fast, well-priced, and left our place clean. We recommend them to anyone that needs their house painted and wants a good job done right. read more

They removed my popcorn texture and installed crown moulding 6.5 years ago. I was new to home ownership so this was all new to me. They did a great job removing the popcorn ceiling and applying new texture. Great job on installation of crown moulding. I had someone in my house a few years ago and they had pointed out that they only put 1 coat of paint on the crown moulding and one coat of paint on the ceilings. I definitely notice it now. I didn't know any better. They were cheaper. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

did not keep their appointment time. Just did not show up! I had to call them twice, wasted the whole morning waiting for them. Was told they guy had a flat tire, so that is why he was unable to make it. If they had contacted me I would have gladly rescheduled..but I had to chase them down for an explanation. Never will call them again. read more

Wonderful work and very kind group of folks. 10/10 would recommend them to have your home painted. Fantastic job.

A few years ago I used Lonestar to paint the exterior of my home (including repairing the siding and the wooden part of the chimney. Their bid was very competitive and the work they performed was superb!!!!! I am getting ready to remodel the inside of my home and they are the first company I am planning on calling for the paint and drywall repair. read more

Lone Star painters did an amazing job for us!! We were originally going to do the work ourselves, but changed our mind at the last minute. They only had a few days notice, but were able to give us a very reasonable quote based on pictures. They showed up on time and ready to work! They were so polite, professional, and fast!! I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend them!! read more

These folks did a great job on short notice. I needed my outside house trim re-painted to meet HOA guidelines and they were responsive and polite (much more so than other companies I called). They did have to reschedule/delay a few times because of weather, but they made an effort to come out as soon as possible since I had an HOA deadline to get the repairs done. I was hesitant because of the negative reviews I saw here on yelp but I think some of these reviews are referring to a different company with the same name, which is unfortunate because Lonestar is really very good. The owner of the company is Ever who was professional and helpful (and I'm a difficult customer). I felt I owed these guys some kudos and I would strongly recommend them. read more

Ever and his crew was on time and did a great job. They gave me a very good price and the service was superior. I would highly recommend there company and I will use them again. read more

I recently used this company to paint the entire interior of my home. I found them to be professional and their prices to be very competitive with other companies. The entire crew was friendly and courteous as well as neat and tidy. They did wonderful prep and made the four day job easy and painless. The end result was gorgeous and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a great work at a great price. read more

If you need any painting done, inside or out, these are the guys to call! They are the best, I contacted 4 paint companies and they were the best priced and the most professional! They painted inside and outside and they did a beautiful job! Very polite and everyone in the crew were professional. Ever helped me out with several issues since my house was damaged by the spring hail storms, insurance, trim damage etc....Give them a call, you will be gald that you did! read more
