They were able to accommodate my work schedule and complete the job is a very reasonable timeframe. They even returned 2 days later to do a touch up for me. No questions asked, no extra cost. Joshua even inspected it himself.

Joshua's painter, Jorge, came exactly when they said he would. His work was impeccable and he patiently tolerated the moves we had to make to keep our dogs away as he switched from room to room. The work was projected to take two days but he finished it in one day! The doors and doorjambs look great. I highly recommend this company.

Joshua was the paint contractor, but his painter, Jorge, was very professional and painfully thorough, down to every detail. He went above and beyond our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend this contractor to anybody.
Response from Joshua S Markell
"Thank you, Brett! It was really great to work with you and Lilly. Anyone who works with us must adhere to the same procedures and quality we expect. I'll tell Jorge how happy you are, and I really appreciate your 5 star review and recommendation!!"

He did an excellent job. He picked up molding and installed that the next day, we did not ask him to do that.

Joshua was a true professional. He was diligent every part of the process from (1) estimates, (2) quotes, (3) scheduling, (4) arrival, (5) prep, (6) seeing the job through the end. He is truly a master of this craft and committed to the art of painting. On top of that, he is a great guy, responds to communications, and kept me updated regularly. I have another project coming up and I will definitely be hiring him again.

I am very happy with the results of Josh painting my home. The painters were friendly, efficient, and reliable. The amount of experience enabled them to help with choice of paints and colors. Their ability to listen and to understand what was important to me was appreciated. Their skills, professionalism, and careful cleanup are to be admired.

Outstanding customer service and meticulous attention to detail! It was a pleasure to work with Joshua right from the start. He took the time to carefully explain the paint and detail options, and helped to guide me to the right decision. The quality of the job was outstanding, the price was fair and the job site was left spotless. I found Joshua to be very responsive and he even checked in the next day to make sure I was happy. I would definitely hire him again.

Joshua gave us a few options with no pressure. We elected to take the more expensive option and glad that we did. Milton has been on site for Joshua completing most of the work. We had two oak front doors that needed to be stripped down and sanded, restained with a clear varnish finish. The work that Milton has performed shows the quality of work, the care and concern for complete customer satisfaction. excellent work.
