DANIEL HACKETT PAINTING CO

Daniel himself did the estimate, and was punctual and personable. The work went smoothly and the result is great. Daniel's team started right on time every day, spent a lot of time on prep work, left the premises clean, and the result looks good. The estimate was reasonable and the billed work came in at that amount. Would definitely hire again.

They were much less expensive than several other bids we got, but they did a great job.  Worked quickly, and cleanly, and were easy to go along with as the moved from room to room of the house.  Daniel came in and personally worked on some of the more complex pieces we had, and matched them very nicely on a difficult section of trim.

The job was done quickly and cleanly, and the house looks good even now. The paint has held up very well.

I think Daniel is very responsible and professional to deal with. His crew is hard working and they all did whatever it took to make me happy. He was willing to make multiple trips to put up color samples until I found a color that I liked and my designer agreed

with. He didn't charge extra for every trip made to place more samples or to correct other items I asked for, so many subs are change order happy! Not Daniel with Hackett painting.

Went fine

Very good job! Daniel is definately a man of his word, even with a couple of compications, he was there to take care of it!

He was really great ,very porfessional.Did not take any payments until the job was done.

Daniel Hackett painted the interior of our Palo Alto home and did I lovely job. The team he sent to our home was professional and a pleasure to have in our home. Daniel checked in with his crew everyday, and stayed to assist on several ocassions. Daniel was very responsive to any of our questions or concerns during the job. He even painted a wall with a color I was uncertain about to make sure we liked it. It was a plus to know that payment was contingent on our being completely satisfied. In fact, any little spots or areas that needed work Daniel did himself before asking us for payment. Payment in Full was asked for upon complettion and inspection to our satisfaction, My husband and I were so pleased with the job that we have asked Daniel to give us an estimate on painting the exterior of our home this summer. We highly reccommend Hackett Painting.

This was the lowest of four bids that I received. The company was recommended highly by my real estate agent. When the owner came to talk to me about the job, he made me feel very confident about how the job would go. He said that two of his employees would be doing the job and that they would be done in 4 or 5 days. Only one person ended up doing the job and it took a week and a half. I had serious communication problems with that employee.

The prep work was poor, short cuts were taken, and they would not even cut the old carpet away from the base trim, which created a huge mess when new carpet was installed the following week. I was very particular about my choice of colors. One of the colors was for two bathrooms and another was for a bedroom. They promised they would do tests for these two colors so I could approve them prior to painting. I was not living there at the time, and when I stopped by the next day as we'd agreed in order to give the color approval, he had already painted all three rooms with two coats. The bedroom color turned out fine, but the color for the two bathrooms was awful.

The employee initially did a fairly careful job, but as he moved around my condo, he dinged up things he had just finished painting, even knocking over a ladder that splintered six inches of window trim. Never did he call any of this damage to my attention. I called the owner, who came to look at the window trim damage, and he had his employee come by to fix it that same day. I honestly think the owner was surprised at how much damage his employee had caused.

They did not adequately clean the cabinets prior to painting, so the paint did not properly adhere and has been flaking. The painter also used my bathroom and kitchen sink to empty his buckets, so after I moved in I had to remove paint scum from my drains. Toward the end of the job, I just wanted to be done with them all together. I would definitely not use them again or recommend them to anyone.

I have a recessed light over a shower stall, and when the painter pulled the trim down to paint he could not get it to fit back properly. I had to have my electrician come and reinstall it to the tune of $100.

It went very well indeed.

DANIEL AND HIS CREW ARRIVED PROMPTLY AT THE SCHEDULED TIME AND COMPLETED THE WORK ON TIME. THE CREW WAS COURTEOUS AND RESPONSIVE TO MY REQUESTS DURING THE COURSE OF THE WORK.
