    BEFORE - broken wall

    I am a realtor, and I needed someone to do only touch up and repair of the wall on one of my listings. Everyone I called was either too busy or wanted to do bigger job. Hokan was very nice in communication and did what he said he would do very fast! He finished the job in one day and charged very reasonable fee. I would definitely recommend him and I will be working with him again for sure for other properties!!!

    Hokan painted this wall perfectly with razor-sharp lines, and exact balance.

    I was optimistic finding a Swedish painter on Yelp in my neighborhood, because in Sweden professional craftsmen tend to take their work seriously. Hokan is no exception. We had a whole 3 bedroom condo painted and he did it all by himself (no hired in subcontract crew), took about 5 days to finish and that included a custom-design wall, accent wall, in total 4 different colors. He came in at a great competitive rate compared to our other (5) quotes we got from other painters on Yelp. Word of advice, don't hang around when he is working, because he's very friendly and a great guy to chat with, so you'll end up prevent him from doing his job. :)

    He painted our kitchen. Did a excellent job in time period he planned and kept the work area clan and neat. I would have no problem making him our painter in all future projects

    I loved working with Hokan and was sad to see him go. Everything stated in these reviews is accurate. He accommodated my schedule which was very tight. I do suggest that you allow him to recommend paint as I selected a paint that was not very desirable, and the job ended taking a longer than it should have. Listen to him and buy The paint that he said yes. He is truly a perfectionist and the job still turned out beautiful. I love this paint job. I am definitely going to use him again in a few months to do some doors and some woodwork. You will not be disappointed. He works alone and he is definitely trustworthy. I left him in my brand-new condo for four days and was never worried. I will not disappoint and his price is definitely reasonable. Just buy the paint that he recommends!

    Our entry way now bright and cheery! Thanks for the exceptional painting Hokan!

    From start to finish, this was a fantastic experience. The team was professional, punctual, and…read moreextremely detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prep the walls--power washing, filling cracks, sanding, and priming--which really showed in the final result. The paint job looks flawless with clean lines and smooth, even coats. They kept us updated throughout the project. What impressed me most was how clean they left everything--no mess at all. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality painting work.

    Let me say that my house is painted and it looks great. The company was easy to get a hold of and…read moreobtain a quote. BUT.... They broke my outdoor TV screen and won't pay for it. It's up on the second story and was an expensive outdoor/marine rated TV. I elected NOT to have it taken off before painting because I was afraid it would be broken. I felt that workers working around it with paintbrushes (it was covered with plastic) were less likely to damage it. But at the end of the day the screen was broken and I have had no one else working in my backyard that could have broken it. Maybe a ladder or a guy falling into it. I discovered it was broken about 10 days after the painters left. When I mentioned it to the owner, he denied it was his guys. If this was a regular TV, I would probably let it go. But this was a specialty TV. I asked for his insurance company so I could file a claim and he never sent it. It's obvious, once I paid, he just doesn't care. Additionally, everything he removed from under a covered deck....a set of weights, a weight bench, exercise trampoline etc., he left rusting in the bushes and never put it back after he painted. I called to ask him about it and he has still never put them back. I'm big on reviews as I use them to pick those who work in and on my house. Because he doesn't have the character to pay for things that he broke and he doesn't value things that I own by putting them in the bushes instead of moving them somewhere under a tarp and then putting them back....I cannot recommend this company. I will be putting this review in google and other sites. I will also be filing a small claims against him.

The quality, as promised, was lacking where the high gloss paint was used, and not done to our satisfaction. Yes, there was a problem, but there was also a happy ending! Based on past experiences with other companies, we figured they would push back against our complaints, and move on without rectifying the situation. Luckily, that was not the case. One of the most important qualities in any company's owners, is integrity. The owner here stood behind his work, and had a very experienced painter come back to completely redo the high gloss areas that were done incorrectly. It looks beautiful now! He also explained that since this job, they have taken steps to change some of their practices to improve in the future. Every company should take advantage of learning experiences, take accountability for mistakes, and put the customer first. Stubbins Painting is one of those companies. This sort of real integrity is rare, and is what makes me comfortable in recommending them!

They are now light and fluffy. My only gripe? The estimator, while very pleasant, ghosted my follow up question like a teenager avoiding chores. Also, despite my very specific request to contact my husband on paint day, they still called me--maybe they just missed my voice? That said, the quality of work was so impressive that I can forgive the slight communication hiccups. Would I hire them again? Absolutely. Would I bet money on the estimator replying to my follow up questions next time? Let's just say I'm not a gambler.

Communication and quote started out great with Dane but the workmanship was lazy and as you can see in the photo did not last at all. I am assuming they only put 2 coats of finish on and didn't prep correctly since all of the finish has already released after only 4 short months. When his team was "complete" I could tell they did not do the job I expected. I asked them to come back out and place one more coat on....which they did but didn't make much difference. I have since refinished myself after spending over $2k for their crappy work. It looks great now.....after a real complete strip and 4 coats of the finish I originally asked for. My advice is do it yourself or go elsewhere.

I scheduled the painting and Nacho and his helper were right on time. They came all week and did all the prep work and took the cabinet doors to the shop. They did an excellent job and I was impressed with how smoothly it went. I love the way it turned out. It is beautiful and the quality is awesome. Compared to the other bids I receive it was an excellent value. I have already referred 3 friends to John's and I would use them again for any painting need I may have.
