Over the past couple of years, my elderly father, who has lived in his home for nearly 60 years,…read morehad been wanting to repaint the exterior. He entrusted me with finding the right contractor, and after reaching out to several companies, I was left unimpressed. Quotes were either excessively high or the contractors themselves seemed disinterested in taking on a home built in the 1950s.
That changed the moment I found Barnoski Painting.
Being located just a mile from my father's home and having served the community as a family-owned business for over 50 years immediately stood out. When I called, Eric, the owner, made time to meet me that same day due to my circumstances. From the outset, he was responsive, punctual, and highly professional.
During our walkthrough, I explained my father's situation and that I would be the primary point of contact. My father shared a few specific requests, particularly restoring the front door and maintaining the existing color scheme. Eric took the time to walk us through the different service levels they offer, but what impressed me most was his honesty. Rather than trying to upsell, he assessed the home carefully and pointed out where attention was truly needed so the job would be priced fairly.
Standing in the driveway, he provided a quote on the spot. It was not only fair, it was exceptional. Without hesitation, I told my father to write the deposit check immediately. Eric's professionalism, demeanor, and transparency far exceeded that of any contractor I have worked with, and there have been many. We signed the contract right then and there.
Although the project was initially scheduled for later in the month, Eric called a few days later with an earlier opening. As someone who values communication and punctuality, I can confidently say Barnoski Painting exceeded every expectation.
On the first day, their crew, Eric, his brother Mike, who is the foreman, along with Phineas and Nick, arrived on time, prepared, and ready to work. Not only were they highly skilled, but they were also personable and genuinely good people. From the start, there was an immediate sense of trust.
What truly set them apart, however, was how they treated my father. Beyond delivering an A plus paint job, they interacted with him with a level of kindness, patience, and respect that went far beyond professionalism. It felt like family. That meant more to me than I can adequately put into words.
During the process, some dry rot was discovered. Barnoski Painting referred us to Crittenden Construction. While I was under no obligation to use them, I met with Vernon, the owner, and had the same experience. Fair pricing, excellent attention to detail, and outstanding professionalism. He even came out on a Saturday to complete the work and treated my father with the same level of respect and care.
It speaks volumes about Barnoski Painting that they align themselves with other professionals of that caliber.
Simply put, I cannot in good conscience give them just five stars. This is a 15 star company. Their commitment to quality, integrity, communication, and client care is unmatched in my experience. There is a reason this family owned business has thrived for over half a century.
If you are considering a painting contractor and want true peace of mind, look no further than Barnoski Painting. They are, without question, a diamond level organization.If you want, I can make a shorter punchy version for Google or a slightly more casual Yelp version.
