I had Painter Ready paint my kitchen, a bedroom, a hallway and a bathroom approximately a year ago. Mike Thomas who owns the company is completely unreliable. You are lucky if he answers your email in a week's time. Many times he just doesn't respond. Mike told me he would match the paint in my kitchen and it is definitely not matched. It was an off white and now it's an ugly sort of dirty looking vanilla color. I'm going to have several of the rooms redone, especially the kitchen. I've been emailing Mike off and on for months and have asked him to come over and look at a couple of things regarding the painting he did in my kitchen. He keeps putting me off and telling me things like he's busy or will get over to my place one of these weekends. The paint behind my sink is failing. The only way I can describe it is to say it's sort of cracked. The caulking behind my sink has separated and there is a split at least 12 inches long. Mike painted my backsplash a bright white and it looks nothing like it did before he painted. I was shocked when I saw it but didn't say anything. I should have. All Mike cares about is getting your money. He is not the least bit interested in what kind of a job he does. His wife, son and daughter work with him and they don't know what they are doing. Mike will agree on certain days to paint and then change the dates. He doesn't finish the job and I had to call him back several times to ask him why things weren't done and ask him to come back and finish. I asked him why some of my trim hadn't been done and he said that wasn't included in the job. I told him I wanted that done. Once he left my condo completely unlocked which is a big thing to me as I have had break ins. I now have an alarm system. I am single and I am not rich. My mother left me some money when she passed away which is the only reason I was able to afford to spend thousands of dollars on painting and now I will have to spend more to have things fixed and painted in the correct color. Mike has himself set up on sites like Home Advisor and somehow has gotten himself an A rating. He shouldn't even be on any of those sites. They are recommending him to others. Just be careful and do not hire Mike because you will get a lousy job with watered down paint. I have many spots here and there where paint has scratched off and the wall has barely been touched. I even got Mike a job with my 90 year old upstairs neighbor. Apparently he gave her some pretty good prices. The prices he gave me were not as good. I have no idea how he estimates. Maybe numbers just come into his head. My neighbor called me once because she was trying to get in touch with him and he wasn't getting back to her. I told her that he probably would but she might have to wait a week. Apparently he did get in touch with her. I guess she was lucky. I can't say enough bad things about this company. Stay away!!!!! read more

We hired Mike on the recommendation of a neighbor. His family is very friendly. He promised to (and did) make our house beautiful for a very low price, and his son water cleaned our roof. He never charged extra but reminded us that most painters would. He made our red trim and garage doors white. Our house needed extra prep work. Mike recommended getting new gutters, and we did. I also replaced some chimney siding he said was warped. He let me use his washer on my walkways, as he removed that item in order to reduce the price. I had plenty of time to use it. The weather and family issues impacted the timing of the work getting completed, but enabled me to ensure everything was prepped the way I wanted it to be (I did some of the priming, prep work, and all of the post-paint work). He left a few cans of paint for touch up. They tore off all of the masking paper and at our request took it away instead of using our recycling bin. They are very fast (hasty) workers but usually they only work a few hours day and a few days a week. I recommend having a deadline completion date in the contract along with what happens if the date is missed. This was hard on my wife who was anxious to get it done. Overall we are very happy with the result but we did a lot of related work and had to work hard on the communication, which was frequent as the timing of things kept changing almost every time we talked. read more

My experience with Painter Ready was educational. Desperate for someone available on our timeline, I did not do my diligence on researching this outfit. Lesson learned: never hire people whose license is suspended by LNI and have an F rating from the Better Business Bureau. read more

Do NOT hire this company. Not a reliable company. First, he missed our appt for an estimate. When I called he said "sorry, forgot". Then he comes out the next day for the estimate. I tried to give him my job b/c the quote was slightly under the others (although, on his bid he forgot to add tax which I had to send back to have him update...this should have been my first sign to stay away b/c it shows a lack of detail). In the first week of May, he said he would be out July 9th to pressure wash and he NEVER showed up. I contacted him on 7/5 to confirm and he didn't reply back until the 10th and said "sorry, didn't have it on my calendar". Mike is totally unreliable. Maybe they do good work, I wouldn't know since he appears to of not wanted my $5K job. I'm completely frustrated with this whole experience and have now wasted 2 months waiting for nothing. STAY AWAY! There has to be better companies out there who care about their job and clients. read more

Mike did a wonderful job working with us! He was extremely efficient but also careful, taking time to protect even our plants before painting. The job was very thorough, with great attention to the prep work before painting. He did an amazing job and we would highly recommend him to anyone else. read more

I will definitely have to update my review when the project is complete, but nearly 3/4 finished, I am already extremely impressed with this amazing family team we hired to paint our entire exterior. Their work, the care, the cooperative spirit has been a joy! read more

This is the best paint job we have had on our house. We have a variety of siding and lots of trim. Mike and his team used good paint and did proper prep work, helped me fix a few things as work progressed. Mike was great to work with. I recommend Painter Ready. read more
