Andrew was flexible and had positive responses to any requests.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Thank you for confirming that my prices are competitive, since I don't get much feedback on other painters' prices. It's always nice to work in the neighborhood."

Andy responded immediately to my inquiry and offered to perform the job for a great price. Although he's a busy fellow, he stayed in constant contact with me via text. Andy showed up promptly, performed the job flawlessly, cleaned up the area and the garage door looks spectacular. I've already arranged for him to return for interior painting. Friendly, professional, experienced, responsive.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Thank you for that wonderful review. I'm looking forward to the interior work that we have scheduled and I appreciate your patience."

All work was done thoroughly and completely
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Pride myself in paying attention to small details my customers may not notice and I appreciate that you Took note of it. Now that we've taken care of some small problems on the house I'm sure that the property will sell quickly."

Andy is very professional with great attention to detail. He doesn't paint around things like smoke alarms, switch plate covers, heating registers, etc., he removes the hardware and then paints. Andy is very talented and knows what materials to use and how to use them correctly. I would recommend Andy to anyone who needs painting done professionally.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"This job was an ambitious upgrade to an older apartment. The ceilings were scraped and re-textured and they were extensive repairs to the walls. There was some additional drywall work that I did prior to painting. I scheduled my work around the other contractors ( flooring countertops windows bathroom, etc) Close coordination is always important on projects with multiple contractors."

The work was great. I told Andrew the paint colors and he purchased the paint, except for one quart I had on hand. He let me know of his progress--it wasn't a time consuming job, but we had high heat one week and rain another week, so he told me he was postponing it due to weather. When I went to look at the job afterwards, a neighbor asked told me he had to quit due to rain and resumed later. It looks great, and I am very happy he took the initiative to coordinate everything. I was able to contact him via email for everything, which was very convenient during the holidays. I thought his price was reasonable.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"My client and I communicated exclusively via email on our phones from initial bid to finish paint job. This is an effortless way for busy clients to take care of their painting projects."

Excellent quality and price. Andrew took the time to find the best approach to dealing with the trim and color transitions. He also caulked the windows for no additional charge above the agreed upon price.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Clean lines distinguish a superior paint job from an average one. Caulking around windows ceilings and bull nose transitions creates a more professional finish."

From the beginning to post completion and every step in between, Andy was committed to my happiness and the success of my project. I am immensely grateful to have found an impeccable painter who is the utmost professional. Andy invested the time to learn my tastes and preferences, he guided the project according to my style and introduced me to innovative design ideas I fell in love with. Andy was mindful of my constraints and his creative solutions enabled me to adhere to a challenging budget and timeline. Andy is a meticulous, highly talented painter. I fully trust Andy with any project and eagerly look forward to the next opportunity to employ his painting services.

I would highly recommend Andy and would hire again. He is very knowledgeable on what the house needed and did not need. He made some minor repairs in the stucco & eve. The eves had not been painted in several years and it was oil based, so when he went to paint over it, it would run. But somehow he managed to get it looking beautiful. The work was perfection and my house looks fantastic. He also painted my chimney to match my bricks in the front of the house. He was very cognizant of keeping the gate closed because of my dog. His price was very reasonable. He finished the job in the time estimated.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"The eaves had the original oil stain from 40 years ago. Three coats later, I was finally able to apply the two finish coats. The rest of the job went according to plan."

Andy is amazing! I am so happy we found him. He had less than a week to get the whole house interior done, including the insides of the closets. To make things harder, he had to work around other contractors. Andy is efficient and professional. Our house looks great! He offered great advice on the colors to choose and worked unceasingly to get it done before the movers came. Now I need to get him to do the exterior . . .
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Wow, those are indeed words of praise and I sincerely appreciate it. Now, about that exterior. . ."

I have chosen many painters from this website but I am happy that I found Andy Sturtevant. He is now the only painter that I will use and I like to keep up this old house. Andy really helps when it comes to paint selection....I am overwhelmed in this area and he really helps me narrow it down. He is meticulous and professional and I find his prices very reasonable.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"I really like the color that you picked out for the walls in your kitchen and den. The light gray goes well with your artwork and furnishings. I'm looking forward to the next phase of the paint job."

I contacted Andrew though Angie's List and he got back to me the very next day. He listened to what I needed and was able to offer advice on the products available, and then give a ballpark figure for the job. His price was very good, over a third less than another painter we'd contacted, and based on his good reviews, we hired him for the job. He showed up on time, with the supplies needed and despite a small glitch with his sprayer, worked hard all day, applying even more coats of stain to the fence than the two his quote had mentioned, for no additional charge. Very nice guy, very professional work ethic, very reasonable price. Would definitely hire him again. 
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"I work hard to keep my pricing competitive but I never take shortcuts on my work. The great reviews that my customers give me are very important to me. Thank you for this great review."

Andy is a pro with decades of experience and it showed. Once the drywall was dry, he primed the kitchen, dining room and guest bath areas on the first day. The second day, Andy applied 4 types of paint to my walls and ceilings over 6 hours of work, carefully estimating the drying times for areas needing two coats of paint.

In addition to being a nice person, Andy does top notch work and provides great value with his experience.....I plan to have him back for additional painting work.

Andy gave us a good estimate on the work we needed done, and we hired him from a total of three estimates. He is a professional painter and his substantial experience shows in his work.  The 15 year old Nexwood deck was quite dirty and had areas of mold and mildew. After careful pressure washing, it turned out great!  I think it turned out better than even Andy thought it would.  The wrought iron fence had a fair amount of rust, but now it looks almost new.  Andy had some recommendations regarding the paint we chose for the fence (as well as the rest of the projects) and we are very glad we followed his lead by using the Dunn Edwards Paints. The front and rear doors, as well as the garage door and associated trim, look terrific!  Andy is very friendly and has accumulated a lot of knowledge about many aspects of construction over the years.  He has a keen eye for colors, and provides good advice when asked for recommendations!  He takes pride in his work, and we are already planning to hire him for some other tasks we need help with inside the house.

Andy spent over a week at our house while we prepared our home for sale. We had a lot of work to do and Andy helped prioritize our list of things and made sure they were done well.

Andy is a very detailed painter and made sure he fixed several mistakes made by a previous painter (with red paint, no less!). The level of quality work he did was far superior to any other painter I've had come out.  

Since we were on such a short time frame to get this done, Andy would not only paint the rooms and outside as requested, but he made several trips to the store for us to match old paint colors we no longer had, get new light fixture covers and help remove some stickers that my children had strategically placed on their bedroom doors. :)

Not only is Andy a great painter but he was also a bright spot in our lives as we frantically got things ready for sale.  He even pitched in to help move boxes.  If you need to prepare your home for sale, he is your guy! 

I have already recommended Andy to a colleague at work and would tell anyone who is worried about having a stranger in their home that he is a true gem.


Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"I really appreciate your positive review. Getting a house ready for sale is always a challenge, especially so with five young energetic boys in the house. I will always remember the times when they would come home from school and immediately head for the back yard to play with Sonny, my German Shepard dog. Your house was always a place of love and joy and I wish you the best in your new house across the country in Indiana.c"

Andy did an excellent job painting my bathrooms, room doors, front door, and security door. Before selecting Andy I called several A rated Angie?s List painters. One was too busy to bid and suggested I call Andy ? whom I had already made an appointment with. That told me that Andy has a good reputation among painters. I took three bids and selected Andy. Andy impressed with his attitude, knowledge, and experience. Andy finished ahead of schedule and on budget. I?ve already recommended him to a friend looking for a painter.


Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed your beautiful and unique photographs throughout your house. You certainly have a great touch, behind the lens. You're as dedicated to your photography as I am to my painting."

Andy did an incredible job painting these old walls (my house is 60 years old). He took a lot of care to fill in all my nail holes and managed to repair several cracks in the plaster. He applied two coats throughout. I was really impressed with his diligence and professionalism. He took many precautions to protect my belongings so that nothing was in any danger of being harmed or marred. He worked quickly and always left things tidy at the end of the day. I will use Andy for all my future painting projects, and would gladly recommend his services.

Very pleasant. One man business. Had a larger job than anticipated, and his pricing ended up higher than others.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"The cheapest bid does not always yield the best quality job. Clients who focus solely on price to make their decision are often disappointed with the results. No work was performed by my company for this client."

Excellent professional job. He even let me use his power washer machine to power wash my driveway at no cost. Also, he is a very friendly nice guy. And he cleaned up like many painters do not.

Professionalism: Andy’s commitment to excellence was reflected in his consistent “can-do” attitude and
interaction with us. We were totally comfortable with Andy being in our home. His strong work ethic was complemented by his easy-going and friendly conversational style.
Communication, attention to detail and follow-through: Andy informed us up front what was realistic to expect as a finished product for each area at the time of bidding as well as the length of time it would take to complete the job. He kept us apprised of his schedule and progress on a day-by-day basis. Andy was sensitive to the health needs of the home owner and worked cooperatively and collaboratively with us.
Craftsmanship: Andy demonstrated attention to detail and highest standards whether caulking baseboards or finalizing the correct shade of paint for our walls (which he continued doing until he was satisfied the color was correct!) Our finished product reflects his craftsmanship.
Materials, price-point: Andy presented a contract to finalize the bid and begin work. Simple, clear and fair. His estimate was very reasonable and he did not charge more than the estimated cost.
Service: We know who to call when it comes time for the outside of our home to be painted! We would definitely recommend
him to friends.
Response from Andrew Sturtevant Painting

"Thank you for giving me a good review here on Angie's List. I am looking forward to making the outside of the house look as good as the inside!"
