Our house before and after painting
Adam A.

Sparky's did an excellent job painting our house. We noticed we had a few rotting boards on the trim around our house, particularly higher up. I didn't particularly feel like getting up on any ladders myself, so turned to Yelp to find folks who could get it done at a reasonable price. Got a few different estimates and walked around the house, and while Robert didn't provide the cheapest estimate, it wasn't too far off and he definitely gave the impression that he would do the best job. When you're doing something as significant as painting your house, you don't want to cheap out. We didn't intend to have the whole house repainted, but it was surprisingly cheap to do so. It was roughly $3500 to just handle the trim, but $5000 to do the whole house - siding, doors, garage, etc. We decided to go for it and are glad we did. The pictures show what a nice job he did with the place. One thing that I think really sets Sparky's apart from typical contractors is their willingness to go above and beyond. Robert had a helper on his first day out who didn't understand that you shouldn't power wash window screens, and he inadvertently tore holes into three of our screens. I mentioned it to Robert and he replaced them with new screens at no charge. On his last day, he walked around the house and observed four other screens that looked a little worse for the wear (though they didn't have holes). He asked if he could replace those for us as well. I was pretty shocked - we had already paid him for the job, but he was pretty insistent on making the house look as good as possible. He certainly did that! One other thing that impressed me; while he was working on the siding of our house, I noticed our dryer wasn't venting properly. I called a vent cleaning service and they said they'd be out the next day. I asked Robert if it would be a problem for them to clean our vent while he was painting. He climbed up on a ladder, pulled the vent cover off, and cleaned out our vent himself - saving me a hundred bucks! Overall, we love the look of our house after Sparky's got finished, and our neighbors have given us tons of compliments. Robert would also work 10-12 hours days, frequently staying until it got dark outside. He clearly has a great work ethic and loves what he does. I'd recommend Sparky's to anyone who wants a quality job at a reasonable price.

I had a hole punched in my Airbnb wall and Sparky's answered my urgent plea and came out to help patch the hole. He did a great job!

FISH Painting And Drywall

FISH Painting And Drywall

(11 reviews)

We used FISH to repair what a plumber had to bust through to fix a leak. The gentleman who did the…read morework was on-time, polite, worked at a steady pace, thoroughly cleaned up and you would never know we had a horrible leak. That's not just good service. That's talent and skill too.

In response to Todd T and his review. I had a similar experience a few years ago where their…read more"drywallers", left a ton of nail pops everywhere. I counted 24 in the one bathroom alone. When I complained about it, I too was met with a very angry owner named Denny. Just a cussing and everything. He came back out and fixed everything, but it was a hassle. I paid $3400 to him for a large and small bathroom to fix them like new and I had to have it all redone 2 yrs later. The drywallers and painters are sub-contractors too, but the painters did a good job the first time, they had sharp lines and did a great job. But when they had to paint the second time, not so much. I think they were in a hurry and just did it to get out. Plus, he used Sherwin Super Paint in my bathrooms, instead of using a semi-gloss to help protect from moisture runs in the paint. After 2 yrs I had to repaint because it looked worse than before they painted. I had the water run stains everywhere in both bathrooms. Even the paint around all 3 tub surrounds was peeling. And the repairs to my ceiling was the exact same issue I had before they came (4 large nail pops in one section), they apparently did not do a very good job when they supposedly ripped it all out and redone that section. Also wish he would had told me Super Paint is one step above contractor grade paint and that I should have used something better. The new painters used Emerald semi-gloss. The painters suggested it and said Super Paint is garbage. I did not know at the time. Needless to say, this was the first and last time I used Fish.

Cornerstone Painting and Drywall

(40 reviews)

We're renovating our kitchen and a bathroom in a 50's ranch. We had torn down walls to the studs…read moreand had big holes in the ceiling from removed soffits. Cornerstone was the second Drywall company we contacted and their quote came in under the first bid, even though it included additional services such as painting the ceiling and didn't require any additional prep work on our part. The work was tedious as it required using drywall of different thickness and double layers in some areas to accommodate new cabinets and tie into existing plaster walls and ceilings. To eliminate the issue of matching ceiling texture, Mike proposed skim coating the ceilings of linked rooms so that the ceiling texture was uniform. The drywall/painting team that began work on our project had a couple issues that marred the result of their hard work. The team seemed focused on speed of work instead of quality, with the result of some details being missed. Examples would be ceiling LED placement, wrong drywall thickness in a key area, and dings in the ceiling. These issues were identified by Mike during inspection and he immediately took over the project himself. Mike corrected each issue, replacing existing drywall where necessary and making multiple visits to ensure the work was done properly. Thanks Mike.

I hired them for a large job. They did a good job although they charged a lot of money. I tried to…read morehire them for a smaller job (and to also fix a minor defect on the previous job) and they blew me off. I understand that painting companies have minimums, but other painting companies were interested in accepting this smaller job. It appears that they are only interested in the big score.
