While in AZ fixing up my rental home, I was involved in a car accident and sustained injuries and pain. After accident, Color Pride rearranged their schedule and painted my home right away. I believe this took quite a bit of effort on their part. With the house painting completed ahead of schedule, I was able to fly home sooner than expected. And, able to see med providers and recover that much sooner. I was very appreciative of Barry Hawker's (owner) understanding my situation and taking quick action.
Color Pride painters were professional,courteous, and worked hard. The completed paint job was high quality. They did not cut corners. Minor drywall repairs prior to painting were done well so not noticeable after being painted. Good job with securing protective covers. There were no paint drips, spills, sprays, etc., that ended up on surfaces where they didn't belong. Following my review, there were only minor "touch-ups" required.
I felt lucky to have contracted with this firm. They did a very professional job and kept me informed along the way. I will use them again and recommend this company to others.
Barry said they used Dunn Edwards paint, but they would purchase whatever brand of paint we wanted. We had been looking at Sherwin Williams paint, but we heard good things about both brands, so we took our S.W. swatches to D.E. and they matched it (and it matched perfectly). Color Pride picked up the paint.
The first day of the job, the crew arrived on time, and Chris, the supervisor, came 10 minutes later and walked the perimeter of my house to go over the job again in detail. I had called one week prior to change the job slightly, we added part of our block wall fence to the job; Barry didn't even charge me for this addition. The crew was very professional, taped up our patio and moved furniture to avoid overspraying onto anything. They arrived on time each day, and were done after 2 1/2 days. On that 3rd day, Chris came to look at the finished product with me. I didn't like the way the front door looked - their were a few paint drops dried onto the door - he stated that they had probably been there prior to painting, but that they should have used a razor to remove them. So they fixed it, but then used a roller on the door to touch up instead of the sprayer they used the first time, so it wasn't as smooth of a finish, but I honestly haven't even thought about it again until now. Later that day, I noticed several areas (small areas) that they missed, and I hadn't caught while walking the house with Chris that morning. I called him, and he had one of the painters come to walk the house with me the next day to touch up all of these areas. I was very satisfied when they were done. One of the reasons I gave Color Pride a 'B' for Quality was because I think they should have caught these small things themselves - should have paid attention more during final inspection. But they fixed everything I asked them to, and I would use them again. The house looked phenomenal when it was all finished.
This job was completed 1 1/2 years ago. At this time, there are several little chips from door frame where I notice paint has come off. Also several areas, mostly where boards are pulling away from wood siding and where siding meets eachother, where I notice naked wood - I don't think this is due to the paint itself, I think these areas should have been caulked more prior to painting, and some of this is surely due to the condition of the wood itself - it's old and pulling away from siding. The cracks in the retaining walls we had prior to painting are showing again now as well; these cracks were there prior to painting, but it seems that the elastomeric stucco patching that Color Pride applied to these cracks did not last. When I stand back and look at our house from the sidewalk, it looks wonderful still. These things that I point out are only noticed upon close inspection, and because I live here I notice these things, and I am picky. Again, I would hire Color Pride again. I just think to be the best, they could be more thorough with their prep work, and inspection and touch-up afterwords.
I am very pleased with the work performed. They were on time and clearly explained what they would do. The doors and frames look great. I was impressed that the service manager took the time to come and check the work, especially on a relatively minor job.
I have no qualms about recommending Color Pride.
They were excellent. Everything they did was excellent. Overall, they have an A grading. I am also going to use them in the future.
It turned out that it took longer than they thought to get the pH of the newly stuccoed surfaces low enough to be painted. Color Pride was so patient with us, as they had to wait almost a week after they first started our house so that we could spray down the walls multiple times each day before they could be painted.
We feel like we really got a quality paint job using Color Pride, and we would highly recommend them.

"[member name removed] , Thank you for the review. We appreciate you taking the time to fill out the review form. To address some of your comments we looked up our records and found the job was completed from 12/12/2011 and 12/14 20011. Not March 24, 2014. Regarding the doors sticking, the door on the hall closet was hung as I remember by a handyman you had hired to to do some work for you. The door was not hung square and this was the cause of the sticking. We rehung the door to take care of the problem. As for the paint used, it was a commercial level paint Dunn Edwards VersaWall (velvet sheen). This paint was chosen because of the budget constraint you discussed with us. It is a good quality paint that has excellent durability. Due to the time of year (cooler temperatures) and the moisture level in the atmosphere all paint would take a full 30 days to completely cure through. This may explain the comment that the paint was sticky. As we had not heard from you in over 2 years we were unaware of your concerns. Please feel free to call me to discuss any of them with me direct. Thank you again for the opportunity to your painter. We would look forward to hearing from you. Barry"
