In looking for a company to paint the trim of the outside of our home, we were referred to…read morePreferred Painting. 03/04/24 Received quote/contract with details - some details standard and some specific to our job. We have a ranch home, our paint job excludes door, garage door and shutters, includes only wood trim. 03/06/24 Issued check for $500.00 deposit to secure job 04/25/24 Deposit check was cashed While the weather prolonged the start of our job, Preferred Painting failed to touch base with us. My husband had to reach out and find out when we were going to be 'on the schedule'. We had finally reached a point where we were told the power washing would be done, it may be Thurs, July 25th or Friday, July 26th. That changed to Friday, possibly Sat. Friday, July 26th at nearly 6:00 PM Abraham arrived to power wash. 06/26/24 power washing of the trim was done, completed in less than an hour and a half. The siding was NOT power-washed even though we agreed to the extra charge for it to be done. We were told the crew would be at our home at 7:00 AM the next morning to start painting. 06/27/24 one guy showed up by 7:00 AM, a second guy showed up a couple hours later and Abraham a number of hours after that. Painting started, but job not finished. Before leaving, Abraham informed my husband that a second coat of paint was needed in certain areas of the trim, as more paint came off during prepping and scraping than anticipated, and there may be an additional charge. Derrick then texted and advised us of the additional charge. The amount specified seemed high. I presented some facts to Derrick, about the situation and his crew, and asked him to consider the same when adding the additional fee. I was not asking him to not charge us, I was asking him to consider all that had already happened when coming up with the amount of the additional charge. Derrick stated the amount he told us is his standard amount and since we were at an impasse, he would have his guys come back to drop off the paint and we could finish the job ourselves. My husband then talked more with Derrick, they came to an agreement on an additional cost and Derrick confirmed Preferred Painting would be completing the job they started. Derrick reached back out and shared his appreciation of the talk. Rain again caused delay. 07/30/24 we were notified that another job had to be finished over the next couple of days so the crew would be back on Friday. 08/02/24 Abraham and another guy arrived by 7:00 AM. It was clear that Derrick had spoken with his crew, as Abraham was rude and unprofessional. The guys were gone around 9:00 AM. Abraham did not confirm that additional work was to be done or that the job had been completed. Abraham did NOT do a final walk through, he did not advise me they were leaving - they simply left a can of leftover paint at the front door and disappeared. From our experience with Preferred Painting, the contract is a mere formality and not truly followed. The standard portion of the agreement requests that someone be home at the start of the job for walk through before the work begins, and at the end of the job for a walk through to confirm completion. In checking the job, we found some areas that were very poorly done. Derrick was notified of his crew simply leaving and was sent some pictures of the unacceptable work. We asked Derrick to come check the result. 08/06/24 Derrick came to walk through; we pointed out that the power washing had not been done as it should have been done (entire home). We also pointed out the areas of the trim where work was not completed. Derrick agreed to have his guys come back to finish up. Derrick also agreed to credit us a portion of the charge for the power washing as it was not completed as expected. 08/09/24 Followed up with Derrick to find out when someone was going to complete our paint job. He informed us that Abraham was working in the city and finishing Monday. Here we are again, being delayed for a different job. 08/13/24 Derrick informed us he will be sending out another one of his guys. 08/20/24 Derrick confirmed Jose will be coming to finish painting on 08/21/24. 08/21/24 Jose showed up on time, assessed all that needed to be done and completed the job. Jose was friendly and thorough, he also confirmed completion of the painting. Walk through was completed and final payment was issued. No one has control of the weather, but the fact that our job was put on hold so the crew can complete other jobs was not understood. Preferred Painting left us to believe that we were less important than their other jobs. Derrick reached out to confirm completion and apologized for the delays. While the end result is satisfactory, it was discouraging that we were not valued as a customer.

Aug 2021: Gerardo and his crew were professional, on-time and delivered what was contracted…read more Geraldo came out for the original estimate and came back to review the job scope prior to signing the contract. I originally received 5 bids from Yelp painting contractors to paint the exterior of my 43-year-old, 3,100 sq. ft cedar siding home. Gerardo's bid was the 2nd. lowest, only slightly higher than the lowest bid. However, his bid included everything in the price that I needed (no extra add-on price options). He did start one day later than expected, due to another job running longer, but called me in advance to let me know. He was flexible to allow me to buy my own materials, so I just contracted for the labor. I was able to get his painters' discount at the paint store by showing my contract (Nice!). His crew did a good job with prep (power washing, scraping, and caulking). When I called out a few sites I wanted more attention paid to, his crew responded to my request. He was very conscious about not getting overspray on cars in the driveway, plant pots, etc. He did a great job keeping the job site clean. Overall I would strongly recommend Gerardo and would not hesitate to use him again.

He seemed personable and provided a quote based on pictures, which was helpful, since we were still closing on our new home. Prices were exactly in our range. We were also very clear about the time frame for painting. He planned to start working a week and a half before we planned to move in. He and his assistant painted REALLY fast, finishing each floor in our house in a day. At first, I was impressed, but once we looked closer/moved in, we were disappointed to see missed corners and spots where we could see the old colors around appliances, trims, etc. We had to ask him twice to return to clean up those areas. The first time, he blamed the mistakes on his assistant. The second, he apologized, but blamed our timeline. We never needed him to finish that fast and as a manager, he should have reviewed his assistant's work. There are still issues, but we have not asked him to return because he spilled paint on our countertops, trim, and ceiling and its not worth the effort to clean after him. In the end, you get what you pay for *shrug.* The experience was disappointing because he bragged about working in Naperville and offering the same quality to everyone. Given our bad experience, I can only hope that is not true.

It hadn't been painted since it was built, which at that time was 27-years. It was in very rough shape on the North/East side. When the job was complete, it looked GREAT! I contacted them again this fall due to pealing and checking of the original now 33-year old paint, again on the NE side of the house. Kevin gave me a very fair price and the work began. The crew worked very hard, did a lot of prep work, including re-caulking, and even used a special primer to aid in the prevention of checking and pealing. Once again, the house looks GREAT. Susan contacted me a week after the job was complete to ensure I was completely satisfied, and then sent me the bill. Think about that, they worked at-risk, knowing their quality and my perceived value would prevail. Of course, I paid in-full with a smile and will recommend them to my neighbors, friends, and family. Thank you Susan, Kevin, and your fantastic crew!
