We first met Sam and his company when they did the painting for some interior remodeling. They did a great job, so we contacted him again when it was time to repaint the exterior of our house. It was a challenging job, as part of our house is more than 40' above the ground, on a steep slope. They were up to the challenge, Overall, they are responsive and timely, showing up when they say they will and working long days to beat the fall weather. All the prep was thorough -- scraping, sanding, priming, masking etc. -- and they just did a wonderful job. We have been glad to recommend them to friends and neighbors. You won't be disappointed. read more

I can't say enough good things about Variform, and I've been talking my head off to any neighbor that stops by. They did such an impeccable job refinishing our exterior soffits and repainting our home. Sam was on top of everything, and was very communicative with us. We've had other people come to do various other projects, and no one else has been so prompt, friendly, detail-oriented, and TIDY (literally at the end of every work day, and at the end of the projects, so conscientious). These folks left no detail ignored, and I couldn't be more grateful!! read more

Sam and his team did an excellent job painting my kitchen cabinets. I'm pretty picky and I can tell you they were meticulous from start to finish. They sanded everything, patched seam and other dings in the wood, applied (sprayed) two coats of primer and three coats of paint, and still left the most clean worksite of any contractors I've hired. The crew arrived promptly at 8 am each morning, and Sam also communicated with me every day to let me know when the guys were leaving and what was coming next. I'm working with them now to get a bid on another job. Highly recommend. read more

See all

Imagine that you want to paint your house - you'd be very careful, very meticulous, make sure everything was exactly how you wanted it. Now imagine you get that except you didn't actually have to do any of the work. That's what Sam and his crew give you - they're are careful as you would be but they're actual professionals. They aren't the cheapest, but they're worth every penny. They even very patiently repainted places my dog decided she just absolutely needed to step in wet paint. read more

Sam and his crew did an excellent job on our exterior painting job. They took their time doing all of the prep work that's needed to deliver an outstanding job, were meticulous in their craftsmanship and in keeping all of the spaces around them protected and clean, and were respectful of the neighbors throughout. Sam does an excellent job communicating status - including with affected neighbors. We would be delighted to hire Sam and his crew again for any future paint jobs and would highly recommend Variform to anyone looking for a high-quality, low-stress job. read more

Sam was great to work with. While we unfortunately were not able to contract with Variform due to some other circumstances, I felt compelled to leave a positive review based on the speed at which they responded to our inquiry, scheduled a walkthrough, and provided a competitive estimate. I would highly recommend Variform for anyone looking for professional grade exterior house painting. read more

I can't stress enough how pleased I am with Variform. The crew was very safe (COVID precautions), friendly and generally seemed to enjoy there work! Drop clothes were properly placed everywhere, tapping, masking was incredibly well done and the quality checks at the end were very impressive. The crew was fast, efficient and paid very good attention to details. The outcome was spectacular and I can't stress enough how pleased I am with the work. I would highly recommend them to anyone and use them again. The price was fair and they completed exactly on time to their indicated schedule. Thank you Variform!! read more

Sam is a class act person. We thought we could fit in painting our new shed while the sun was out, but when the morning arrived with snow, Sam still came out to our home to inform us of the weather delay and confirm paint choices. We feel like we're in great hands! read more

We are very pleased with our experience with Variform. The price was reasonable. They started and finished when they said they would. All of our windows were masked and covered. This may sound obvious but the last time we had the house done, our windows had paint oversprayed on them. Great care was taken to cover our landscaping and sidewalks. Ladders and other equipment was tided up each night. The painters left not a trace of trash or litter. They were pleasant and polite. And, of course the job was very well done. We would definitely hire them and recommend Sam and his crew very highly. read more

We were previously working with a general contractor on reconstruction after black mold mitigation, and the crew we hired took a really long time to do a very bad job. We ended up hiring several new contractors to fix the shoddy work and added damage. We contacted Variform about redoing the awful paint job -- they provided a very competitive estimate and, despite the busy time of year (lots of people getting exterior painting done in the dry summer months), they said they could squeeze our little job in on the weekend. During our initial walkthrough, we could tell Sam really knew his stuff, and throughout the process he communicated well, did everything he said he'd do, and was always on time. One other guy from Sam's crew took on most of the job, but Sam stopped in regularly to check in on things. The work they did was excellent, and they had great attention to detail -- they offered to fix things we hadn't even noticed or thought to ask about!  One of the biggest tasks was repainting our kitchen ceiling, which had terrible texturing. Sam and his guy were dissatisfied with their first attempt at improving it, and offered to paint it again at no extra charge (although we appreciated their skill and professionalism so much, we paid them extra anyway). The end result was a vast improvement. And the cherry on top --by the end of the job, our home was left cleaner than when they started! After the nightmare experience leading up to our contacting Variform, it was such a huge relief to work with people who really know what they're doing and clearly care about the quality of their work. We've already recommended Variform to one of our friends, and we would definitely call them again for any future painting work. read more

At Crescent Builds, we have been happily working with Variform Painting for the last few years. We have tried many painting contractors over the years and never quite found one that consistently matched our own standards for a high quality paint/stain work with a consistently great final product, until we worked with Ned at his great team at Variform Painting. We work a diverse array of clients with varied projects types, whenever we have worked with Variform, our clients have raved about them. Ned and his crew one have become one of our most trusted subcontractors. We can always rely on their consistently beautiful work, attention to detail. In addition, Ned's frequent schedule, and budget updates really go above and beyond and help us immensely. (Not to mention really timely and consistent estimating)! We have built a great relationship Ned and Variform based on a shared goals of high quality standards, and excellent client communication. Highly recommend Variform Painting for any size project! read more

I chose Variform because I watched how detailed they were in their prep of a house down the street. We have a complicated exterior and as they did the prep I saw the same meticulous work with no shortcuts taken. As a result the final paint job using 4 colors is beautiful and several months on now, looks every bit as good as the day they finished. Highly recommend Variform painting read more

Ned and his crew are the real deal. Best painters I have come across! I am in Real Estate and I am happy to refer them to clients. They take their time making sure that everything is done right the first time. They are prompt, pick up all of their stuff and are super nice on top of everything else! Ned has a great sense of color and was really helpful helping me pick our stains etc. Don't bother with anyone else. Also, I had a horrible experience with a contractor. Ned is going to repaint all of our new and now peeling cabinets along with the interior that the last guy painted over wall paper! read more

I have used Variform Painting twice in the past couple of years for interior and exterior paint work. Sam Cano, the owner does high quality work. He is easy to work with, on time, very neat and tidy while doing the job. He is very respectful or what the owner wants I would highly recommend this company to anyone interested a top quality paint job. I feel lucky to have found him. read more

We can't be more pleased with Variform Painting - their management and entire painting crew have exceeded all of our expectations. We have used a long list of painters in the past and found them to be repeditively late, lacking attention to detail, and just looking for a quick shot of revenue before heading to the next job. Variform Painting will work to insure that when the job is done, you will wonder how you ever worked with any other painting contractor. They were at our job promptly at 7:30 AM everyday with their folks arriving in advance so there were no excuses about being delayed in traffic. They meticulously prepared all the surfaces and methodically stuck to a plan of completing the job on time and on budget. And if there were any problems that they missed, they were very courteous and prompt about making the modification. We absolutely felt they were an extension of our family and they worked diligently and professionally in all that they did. I would only use Variform Painting for any of our inside or outside painting jobs. They are already scheduled to paint the outside of our home next summer. read more

Variform Painting painted my 1904 stucco house 3 years ago and did a FANTASTIC job. The paint job looks like it will last a very long time. Ned was very patient and good natured in helping us fine tune our color scheme and then he and his crew were meticulous about the preparation which is essential for a thorough job. They worked very diligently arriving every day on time. On bad weather days they called to say it was not good painting weather so we knew exactly what to expect. Ned has trained his crew to be very attentive to details. We were delighted with the result and highly recommend him to our friends and clients. Ned is very nice to work with and very organized and anyone would be lucky to work with him. read more

Wow, these guys are good! They just finished painting the exterior of my house (the white parts). I have a brick house with white dormers and white wood windows. I got 5 bids and Variform was the only one that actually addressed the issue that there might be lead-based paint on the house (built in 1945). Of the 5 bids, they were the 2nd highest, but after seeing how long it took to sand, clean, prime and paint I think I got a bargain. Ned explained how they use Hepa vacuum sanders and put plastic down so that no paint chips fall into the dirt to contaminate it, etc. Besides all the care in case there was lead based paint, the guys were polite and every day they cleaned up after themselves and put everything away. Each morning they started at 7:30 am promptly and worked hard throughout the day, not taking short cuts. The also took care after I washed all my storm windows not to get them dirty. I cannot recommend Ned and his team enough. They were professional and worth every single penny, actually probably worth more. If you want a job done right and the paint job to last, get Ned and his team. They are worth it. read more

Beyond amazing from scheduling the estimate to the finished product. The owner responds immediately to your estimate request and is out within days to take a look at your job. We have had them paint both the outside and inside of our home and have always been extremely happy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Variform Painting to anyone. In fact they have worked with several of my family members and many of my friends. read more

It's a pleasure to write this review, my experience with Variform was high quality. The owner, Ned, was on top of it fromt the get go, he really knows color schemes well. So, if your on the fence about colors, he can talk you through the often stressful decision making process. His crew showed up ready to go and provided me with an outstanding paint job. I'm looking forward to hiring them again! read more

I bought my Queen Anne Craftsman ("an old battleship of a house" as it was once called) in 2001, and selected Variform Painting to completely re-do the exterior in 2002. Got 4 bids on the job, and Ned Trimming's was not the cheapest, but he gave me good confidence that they would work with me as we discovered the inevitable surprises in a job that big. Since then, I've hired them four more times, including painting the interior first and third floors, the glass-enclosed front porch, the decking and steps on three sides of the house. and a complete re-painting of the exterior in the summer of 2013. The job they did 11 years earlier still looked great, up close and from afar, but I didn't want to tempt fate. On the final day, I told the crew boss (Jason) and the primary painter (Samuel) that I should give them artists' brushes so they could sign their names to the completed work. And the original reason for selecting Ned was once more borne out - no job of this size & scope is free of surprises. In each instance over the years, Ned and his team identified the issue(s) and proposed alternatives as well as their recommended solution. A homeowner cannot ask for a better business relationship. The guys at Variform make you feel secure and informed, as if it were their own home they are working on. They accommodate your schedule and priorities, are intensely reliable, keep their promises, are meticulous about cleaning up and keeping your yard & gardens undamaged by their work, and ultimately make your property *pop* in appearance. These guys are all pros. Can't recommend them too highly! read more
