Commercial and residential painting - interior and exterior, power washing, & drywall repair.
We purchased a "Big Deal" coupon of $75 for $200 worth of power washing. Rich did heavy-duty power washing of our fence and lighter power washing of our deck. Rich responded immediately to our work request on Saturday and had the work done by Tuesday! He did an excellent job and was also helpful with tips on how to prepare our fence for re-staining (e.g. areas for sanding). Thanks Rich!

I had purchased a Big Deal $199 for an interior painter for a day. This painting was a little complex and the lighting is very little in this area of my home. They did miss a couple spots and that could be a result of myself enjoying to talk as much as they did and it was probably somewhat distracting. I see some areas that look less glossy and I'm not sure if someone went over with a different kind of paint behind the other or they just missed it. I have also found a little bit of paint of my eskimo art and sculptures that I collect. I just don't feel they were as careful as they could have been. I'm not sure if I would use them again but they were very nice people. All in all I do think the job was complex.

It was good. He wasn't very responsive on scheduling initially and that's why I've asked for a refund and kind of sent me that report on Angie's List but he asked me for an opportunity to let him try again and they're good and he did a good job and his crew was great. So overall, I was happy with him. I would recommend using him but to be diligent about scheduling. It takes a little extra effort to schedule with him.

Well to say the least, don't ever use this provider. Keeping contact with this provider is shabby to say the least. It would be days before I would get a response. Then when I get asked for details it's like this guy doesn't know how to use his email or phone to go back and see that I had repeatedly sent him address and contact info. On top of that when I suggested a plan and emailed him a BASIC, BASIC sketch of what needed to be painted he said that wouldn't be a problem but had a difficult time to give us a date to do the job. Then when they show up it's like the provider hired two college students that had a day off hadn't told them a thing except the address of the job. When I told them what had to be done they looked like deer in the headlights and said "Rich didn't tell us anything" and had to drop what I was doing and find the room plan and give it to them. Not to mention as I went to go get the room plan again I heard them say "man, Rich blind sided us!" It gets better, for all you angies list big deal shoppers out there READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE PURCHASE!!!! This guy apparently thinks that a "day" of work consists of 7 hours. I wan't to know on what planet this guy is on who thinks that a work day consists of seven hours, what a crock. So in suit, I get a follow up email asking how everything went and "ohh, by the way here is an invoice for the over time". $90 for 30 min. over the "allotted time frame". Divide that between 2 workers(its an hour) divided by 2 this/these people are making 45.00/hour..... I know car mechanics and doctors that are making less. At the least if there was a time constraint as there is alot of times with some of these coupons, these guys should have said something if they couldn't have completed the job in the 3.5 hour "day" that the coupon claimed. Lesson learned?: Never hire these people and if you have the time....just do it yourself. For what it's worth the guys that painted the mural did a good job but this company will nickel and dime you fyi.... Seven hour work day......what a shame.

Response from A Brush with Success Inc
Well as the saying goes you cannot please all the people all of the time. I appreciate and agree 100% that if an Angie's List member purchases a coupon they should read the fine print before purchasing or before the work is being done. Very good call by this member as they evidently did not read it. I want to say that the fine men and women from Angie's List are the ones who come up with the fine print and discuss it with each contractor prior to putting up a Big Deal. It seems as if this member believes I just put up something to make it a short day of 7 hours. Not the case. This member also states that I don't know how to use email? I have all of the emails from member and how long it took for replies. I would say this member is greatly stretching the truth as to how long it took to reply. If anyone would like to see proof of this please let me know. Also the BASIC BASIC sketch was a bunch of scribbles that didn't make a lot of sense via computer. The boys who showed up have college degrees in computer graphics so I was not too worried if member provided the scribbles to them so they could do something with it. Not a big problem as I told them I thought they would like the job .. yes they had not seen it. Also I want to state that he described these your men as college students. They have each spent 4 or 5 years in the ARMY prior to going to college and are to be respected for their service. Very well rounded young men in their 30's. Too bad member did not speak to them about their back ground. Also when I asked these men how many hours they worked they stated that they each worked 5 hours at this job. 5 times 2 is 10 minus the coupon so the member was charged for 3 hours at $30 per hour. If it was only 30 minutes over the allotted time it would have been for 1 hour or for $30. Also this member did not call to discuss what he perceived as being over billed, which he was not. Also no payment from this member and he will probably not send any money. It is unfortunate that I have to pay to have painting done in his home. Doing specialty painting is not something that we want to do as we never know how long a particular project will take. Because of this review we will not be doing any speciality painting for customers with a coupon as I do not want any further problems with this. This member was told that but refuses to acknowledge that fact. Member is upset over $90 which has not been paid? I am not sure that is nickel and diming but to some it may be. Please read the review after this one done, work by the same men who explained to customer about going over the 7 hours as this member was also told. The sham is with the review.

Two brothers showed up - they were very professional. They worked steadily and were very careful and meticulous. They came to me before the time ran out and let me know what they could complete within the time allotted for the deal - asking if they should stop then or continue on and bill me for the extra time. I chose to go a little over the time in order to finish up on what was most important to me. I was very happy with the work and would call them again!

The team started on time and finished in less than 3 days. The painters were professional and the work was done quickly and my house looks great. They used Benjamin Moore paint. The crew as friendly and neat. The cleaned up each day before they left and disposed of all trash. Very clean lines on the painting and trim.

The finished result was completely average, I would not use them again. I purchased a coupon through Angies List and it took about two weeks before they could come out for a small painting job, not a problem, but the day they were schedule to arrive the owner e-mailed me rather than calling, saying that they had trouble finding my home, minutes later the workers he sent to do the job called and said they were picking up supplies. I had talked to the owner, Rich, about bidding a price for painting the entire house (about 3,500 sq ft) and it was agreed he could do it when he came out, however he didn't come out to the job and the kids he sent made no mention of providing an estimate. At that point I was no longer interested in doing business with them in the future and let them finish the job and will search for another company to do the rest of the interior and exterior of another house.

Response from A Brush with Success Inc
This is an interesting review. 1st off the result was average? Exactly what would that mean? When someone says average is it because of the workmanship or the quality of the product. This member purchased a paint that would not cover after 3 coats and still showed thru. Thus the result being average. Acutally I would rate it poor. Also member did not consult as to the area they were painting what coverage was needed or what kind of paint to purchase. As far as emailing instead of calling it was the only contact I could find at the time I was notified that the address provided was a school? Just tried to get to the customer as soon as I could until l could find a #. I didn't find this to be a problem? Turns out that the address used to be listed as a day care center thus the confusion. It may of helped if the member had mentioned this. As for the member stating that they were looking for a bid for the entire home, I have looked repeatedly thru past emails with no memtion of this on any of them. I wonder if the member may have confused me for someone else? I would never let an opportunity like that slip by without addressing. My last contact from this member actually was to ask me to send the boys back out for some more painting. My response was when would he like them to come out. I never received a response back. I am not sure what fault I am at here?? As I said very interesting...

Rich responded very quickly to my inquiry and we discussed over the phone the work I needed done. He referred me to Guiry's for paint and even was able to get a discount based on that his company was doing the work. I needed to go to work and the painters showed up earlier than their normal workday so that I could get to work on time. They showed up prepared, very polite and punctual and ready to work. We walked through the job I wanted done with Josh while the second painter started setting up the first room. I then left them to do the painting. They got everything done, great quality and thorough and locked up my house when they left. The paint Rich estimated we would need was only slightly over what was used, but better a little over than under. Pricing was very fair for the volume and quality of work completed.

Rich worked around my schedule and met me during my lunch hour to discuss my project and to prepare a bid. He arrived exactly on time and was professional and helpful. He provided me with a bid 2 days later that was $1500 less than the other bid I got for the same work. Once I accepted the bid, we scheduled a time to meet at lunch again on Tuesday of this week to discuss colors and go over the project one more time. I also asked Rich for help with matching paint on a wall and getting touch up paint for me. His painters started on Wednesday and finished on Thursday. My other bidder would not be able to start my job until mid-July after we had moved into the house. My husband and I walked through the house Thursday night and were amazed at how great it all looked in such a short period of time. Rich inspected the job himself and left the touch up paint this morning. I am extremely pleased and will use Rich for any future painting we need done. I can't imagine how this could have gone any better, and I highly recommend this company.

They were excellent. We called a different couple of painters and they were the one that will do the work. Pretty immediately they had the things done. They painted some woods on our stairs and it didn't work quite right when he first did it so he didn't charge us for it until they came back and touched it out, so they were really good.

We've used Rich's company twice and have been very satisfied both times. My husband used to be a contract painter, so we are pretty picky about the end result. I'd highly recommend a Brush with Success, they've done a great job both times and cleaned up the mess when they were done.

Gee, it is Friday morning and I saw this person on Wed. Very rude remarks. I stated that multiple coupons could not be used. Not that a coupon was no good. Also stated that the coupon probably would get thru a couple of rooms being the amount of work that was to be done in each room. It always is amazing that someone would write a review about I suspect and I was thinking. This is not a review at all but subjective random thoughts. No I do not give quotes while inspecting a property nor do I give I think it might be quotes. My quotes are real when they are complete. There was no promised price as stated so how would one know that it would be much higher? By the way my A for punctuality is appreciated as the member was 15 minutes late for appointment. As stated, very rude and this member will not be receiving a quote ever

I worked with Rich for this project. I was pretty nervous because I was living out of state at the time. We wanted the home painted before we moved in. I did my best to label things for the painters but there were really so many color changes and special instructions that I was holding my breath they could decipher it all. Rich was great. He understood exactly what I wanted to do. I think there were only two occasions he needed clarification, for which he contacted me immediately and then performed the task exactly how I wanted. I really appreciate how flexible and professional this team was. I am having Rich come back to give me a bid on the exterior. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat. Thanks for the color!!

They paid close attention to detail, and there was no mess. The two bedrooms look great! I would use Rich and his team again for sure. Highly recommended. Mark Littleton

The experience with the 2 painters was very positive. The arrived on time, moved heavy furniture. worked quickly but were very skilled and knew exactly how to sequence the job. The brand and type of paint were recommened beforehand. It covered the old paint with one coat. When the job was finished, they thoroughly inspect their work and moved furniture back. I highly recommend them!

He took forever to get a quote back to me and by that time I've already decided on somebody else. He did come to the house within three days from when I've contacted him. It was fine. I showed him everything that I wanted to get done and I do have one wall of wallpaper that I just want an expert to deal with, whether they renew it or paint over it or whatever they do. And he didn't seem too certain about how that should be handled. He said he had people that would look at it and do something with it. So that was a bit of a problem, his apparent uncertainty about this wallpaper. And then it was more than three days later before he contacted me to say an estimate will be coming. The experience was OK, but it wasn't outstanding.

With all of the mess that they had to deal with the painters did an excellent job and did not leave a mess or missed spots to fix later. Our house was destroyed by renters and we were under the gun to get the home back in shape, the painting crew did a great job which allowed us to move in on schedule.
Description of Work: Our tenants had seven girls ranging in age from 2 to 18 years old who were totally unsupervised. Almost every wall in the house was marked with pencil, crayon, marker, lipstick, nail polish, paint, food, vomit, gum, mucus, etc. The crew put two coats of primer on most areas below waist level. Every room in the house had to be painted (2762 sf) plus the basement (900 sf). The entire project took three days to finish. The crew used masking tape, plastic, and craft paper to make sure that they did not get anything on the floors or carpet. All of the light switch and receptacle plates were removed as were towel bars. They also made sure that all of the baseboard was taped and then caulked. At the end of each day they cleaned up their mess and neatly put their tools away.
