Work took a few weeks as expected.  Crew was clean and respectful of property.  Excellent prep and painting which shows no problems one year after work was done.  Siding went from dingy, pocked and chipped to looking brand new.  If the crew supervisor thought something didn't look right (paint color choice to relocating cables to repair issues( he brought it up rather than simply continue with the work as initially outlined.  Price was more than hiring some college students on summer break but was very competitive for a professional painting contractor  that yielded far superior results. This is a professional organization who can put a large enough crew together to get work done efficiently. These folks know what they are doing and they do it well.

The workers were on the job everyday by 8am.  They kept the area in which they were working very clean.  They worked on the building for about one month, as estimated by Brian.  As well as the great paint job, I was very impressed with the way they were able to complete the project without any complaints from the buildings' 26 tenants.  Truly a professional job from a very professional company.

When I purchased my house, the exterior paint was chipping & peeling and needed  to be repainted. I called Tara Pro Painting and they took the time to present me with a good accurate estimate. The next thing I knew, my house was painted in a reasonable amount of time and the work was extremely well done. I am extremely happy with my experience and Tara Pro Painting's service is wonderful. I would definitely recommend their services to others.

The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The crew was courteous and hard working. The foreman on the job site was responsive.  The team's attention to detail throughout the project was excellent. Brian was also a good communicator and highly responsive to questions that I asked, either via phone or via email. They hit the deadlines and the house looks beautiful. People in the neighborhood have stopped to admire and comment on the new look.

Brian and his excellent staff arrived exactly as promised on the day and time established.  It was immediately clear that he had a staff of people that worked well together and were professional in their approach.  They knew who was to complete the different jobs that go to make up a great completed job.  The care to keep the site clean, picked up after themselves, and when it was complete a fresh look and a job well done.  Brian deserves great credit in making this happen, and his staff for making it look so easy
When the job was completed the cost was as quoted.

I really enjoyed working with Tara Pro.  They were always on time every day.
The work was done in a very professional manner in under the time allowed for the job, which made the move in much less stressful.  They were very good with my neighbors, making sure the work was of minimal inconvenience to them.
It was definitely the best experience I've had with any contractor.  I have my friend, Anna, to thank for the recommendation and I certainly will refer them in the future!

My overall experience was very pleasant.  The painters were very nice to work with and were very friendly, even when I decided to change the color at the last minute!  They gave me lots of advice which I found very helpful.

They finished the work as promised. But quality was very bad.

what they responded is absolutely not true. I already had the wood available in the garage which went to waste. They replaced some but did not replace all. The wood was available. All they had to do was take the time to do the work right. It would not have cost them extra cent.
And totaly not true about blackmail. If they are fabricating lies like that bewarned more. I only asked them to come and check the work and see what needs to be done, to which they said they can come but will charge some hundreds/hour (don't recall exact figure) just to check.
Response from TARA PRO PAINTING INC

"Our files show this member was advised four years ago when the painting was done that a lot of rotted wood needed to be replaced.He told my foreman that he did not want to replace any of the severely rotted trim and he wanted us to just use fillers to patch it temporarily. We told him it was not going to last but did what he asked ,making it very clear that the fix was not going to last long and the wood needed to be replaced. He called me about a month ago and insisted that he wanted us to do all repairs or else he would give us bad reviews online. He was very angry when we refused to be blackmailed and was very abusive on the phone ."

The overall experience was excellent from start to finish.  Brian, the owner, was prompt, professional, responsive and very easy to work with throughout the project as was his crew who did an outstanding job. They are fast, skilled and completely reliable.
I think Tara Pro Painting did an excellent job on our house at a reasonable price. They are super-professional, friendly, honest and neat workers. I highly recommend Tara Pro Painting. You cannot go wrong hiring them.

Brian provided an estimate to paint my house, and when I said I was ready to proceed he sent me his contract.  The job was fairly large for a residential project, and I wanted to make sure the contract was fair and balanced.  However, Brian's contract had many very unfavorable terms and provisions (for example, he required a deposit on contract signing even without a start date, he required weekly payments that are NOT tied to the progress on the job, he wanted the final payment to be only about 10% of the project etc).  When I tried to discuss the terms with him, he became rude and defensive.  He told me he would do the job on his terms only, and he refused to discuss any of the terms in his form contract.  Not only that, he was extremely unprofessional in the way he interacted with me despite the fact that I bent over backwards to try to be accommodating and friendly.  After several months of trying to get the project started, I conceded on most of his terms and requested a start date.  He then sent me an email telling me I should find another contractor.  That was the best thing that cold have happened as I found another contractor that did top quality work in a very professional manner.  In sum, Brian acted in a rude and unprofessional manner.  He is clearly not the type of contractor that can work through issues in a professional and respectful manner.
Response from TARA PRO PAINTING INC

"This member did not respond to us for over six weeks after the contract went out. Our schedule had filled up by the time we heard back from him ,and he was not happy that we didnt hold a slot open for him ,just incase he decided to respond later in the year.Then finally he sent me back a changed contract that had six extra pages added . Five and a half which I simple could not understand and everyone I showed it too could not understand. When I tried to talk to him about it he seemed quite proud that it was hard to understand. I am glad he found a contractor deperate enough to take the job at any cost. But as far as the quality of the paint job It May Be A Little Soon To Make That Call, dont you think?. I guess he is not very much in the Christmas mood , Since he didnt get his way he has decided to try and damage my business with his nasty words."

The entire things was great. While they were waiting for things to dry here, they went down the street and painted my parent's kitchen and bathroom. Very efficient!

Very responsive from the first request for an estimate, and work was started quickly after reaching an agreement. Around the same time I had some remodeling projects on-going, and they worked with the contractors to find times so as to not overlap. I did sense the slightest bit of annoyance that the entire painting job could not be completed until the (delayed) interior remodeling was completed. But in the end, it was done well. The price is a bit more than other providers would have been, but you get what you pay for: timeliness, good customer service, and good quality of work.

Vinny and his crew were fantastic. Right on time, fantastic communication of what they would be doing and what we could expect, and high quality work. Clean lines, no drip marks. Finished product looks great. We had a hard rain shortly after the job and found that water was getting inside the retaining walls still and causing bubbling of paint, etc. Vinny and crew came immediately back out, did a thorough job of double checking and caulking every seal, repaired and repainted, and we haven't had an issue since all winter long. I was impressed with how quickly and thoroughly they addressed this problem. Will definitely call them again the next time we need a paint job!

I wasn't pleased with the service. The prices were competitive, but the quality of the work wasn't very good. Three years out, I'm already having to patch things up.
Response from TARA PRO PAINTING INC

"This customer never called us ,if he did have repair issues . We actually had payment issues with him at the end of the job maybe thats why?. This customer was advised by me that if you choose to paint your whole house dark brown ,it will not last as long as a lighter color would."

They did a number of small jobs. They had a carpenter that worked for them as needed. The foreman, Vinny, was a wonderful guy. We really got along with him well. He was very good at explaining what they were doing and why they were doing it. He even offered to do more things. They were very flexible and thats what we needed. One of the windows was painted shut. When I called them Vinny came out right away and fixed it. The owner, Brian also came out to check the job.

Everything was great. They did a very thorough job and did nice work. They solved any problems they encountered. They did the work several years ago and it still looks great. In fact, I called them back when I had new windows installed to touch up the paint. They cleaned up well, and I would absolutely use them again.

Brian was incredibly responsive and once we decided to work with Tara Pro, things moved very fast. In fact, faster than we were ready for as we hadn't chosen the paint colors yet! Everyone we worked with was punctual and professional. The prep work was excellent. They sanded down the peeling paint on the wood surfaces and patched everything beautifully. As I mentioned before, we hadn't chosen our colors yet so we were rushed a bit and made a poor trim choice the first time around. We disliked it so much, we had them repaint it. It cost us a bit extra, but was worth it. There were a couple of odd choices the painters made when it came to areas to paint with the trim vs. the base color, so we had them touch those up as well. Overall, they did an amazing job - the only thing we wished they had done differently would have been to take a little more care when moving our plants. Some of them didn't fare so well. That being said, we are very happy with the paint job and so are our neighbors!

Tara Pro Painting is amazing! They completed the work quickly and did an impeccable job. The crew was clean, friendly,professional, very skilled and always on time. The quote was accurate. The experience I had working with Brian (the owner) and his crew was one of the very best experiences I've ever had with a Contractor. I would highly recommend Tara Pro Painting Inc. and I would definitely use them again.
