They've painted the inside of my house, the exterior of my house, stained an outside deck, and even fixed a powder coated aluminum pergola that got scratched during installation and fixed a door that my dog scratched.

When we started, we didn't know what colors we wanted to use, but Gregory was there to help us throughout the entire design process, present and creative, suggesting unique details like a wood-look painting technique on closet doors and a special artsy detail on the outside of our house- a beautiful rising sun. Our home is unique and colorful in the best of ways thanks to his consultation and guidance. His team is professional and friendly. Having children around we are always concerned about having professionals in our home who are respectful and trustworthy. His painters are exactly that.

If you are looking for an exceptional painter, look no further. We have had several homes painted both inside and out and own several rental properties, so we have worked with many painting contractors over the years. Hands down, Gregory and Transformational Color are at the absolute top of any of our future painting needs. Gregory's integrity stood out immediately. Our initial walk-around consultation was in November, and instead of rushing the job in poor weather, he thoughtfully suggested waiting until spring for the best results. True to his word, he proactively followed up in April with a scheduled color meeting and a comprehensive proposal. To be honest, I originally read about his "color session" with some skepticism, thinking it was just a simple meeting to pick colors. It is so much more than that. You have to live with these decisions, so it needs to be a truly considered process. Don't pass up on the opportunity to have Gregory pick your brain about it. It will be worth it, believe me. During our color consultation, he offered fantastic expert advice. We went through several color changes prior to making our final decisions. We actually ended up adding to and modifying the plan twice--once suggested by him and once requested by me--which included changing the color of the downspouts versus the corner boards, and finally changing the rain gutter color and some major panels in the front of the home. These final touches really made the overall job pop! Gregory accommodated all of these changes with absolutely no price increase. He had one fantastic crew member who did an incredible job managing most of the prep work, pressure washing, daily clean-up, and touch-ups. Gregory was personally on-site for all the painting and in constant daily contact with me. He checked in regularly to discuss progress and brainstorm any thoughts or modifications I was considering. Instead of clean up and driving off at the end, Gregory insisted on a 100% touch-up walk-through, giving us plenty of time to live with and experience the workmanship first. The results are flawless! Oh, the neighbors love it also.

After interviewing eight potential painting contractors we chose to hire Watercolors. It was a…read moregreat decision! First: for those starting this process of choosing a contractor, do your due diligence and check your painter's name, company's name, and license number. You may be surprised by the results--I know I was. Watercolors has a license in good standing, employee insurance, and is bonded. The license is held 100% by the owner, Jason Weihrauch, an upright person who stands behind his workers and delivers personal attention. Second: consider the written bid. A bid should be detailed about the specific materials that will be used. Jason's bid included the products, number of coats of paint, expected prep work, and even the port-a-potty. Third: the job itself. Watercolors did extensive and complete prep work. They even, for an extra agreed upon (more than fair) amount, fixed some window sills with termite damage. My neighbor was so impressed with the job that transformed my old deck, they hired Watercolors that day! And they were quite pleased with the result as well. Finally: the finish produced was more than satisfying. I am proud of my home again, it looks beautiful. Thank you Jason, Carlos, and the Watercolors Team.
