Top Coat Painting was very professional from the time they came to give us a quote for the job to the time they completed it. They were here on time on the date and time we set for the job. They were extremely neat and took great care not to get any paint on the building. We were extremely pleased and will use them for all our future office painting needs.

It went fine, and they "rolled with the punches" from my eccentric 90 year old Mother, and were very patient and tolerant with her.

Michael and his helpers did all the work promised, did it well and punctually. In fact we had a demanding deadline and they rescheduled some other work that was not as time-sensitive in order to take on our job and get our place all done on time. On the exterior of our house there were imperfections to be fixed before paint; some needed materials replaced, and some only needed repairs. Michael and his crew were helpful and resourceful and conscientious about saving us needless expense, and they gave us suggestions for options, and ran ideas by us so we could choose how to proceed. We were very happy with that whole approach. Michael and his helpers did not need to be managed or instructed or scheduled, but came and went as they needed, and did what they needed to do, and brought the job in on time and according to his original estimate. When we found a couple spots where the color was not even in one room (there had been no lights working in there) and pointed it out, they agreed and were happy to put another coat on the area. We are "absentee landlords" and could not be there all the time to oversee the work. Michael and his crew were able to take care of everything even when we could not be around. We would hire them again and be happy to trust them to take care of things when we could not be there ourselves. We're glad we used them.
Description of Work
Exterior paint entire two-story three bedroom house, and power-wash and stain two-story deck. Trim, including some horizontal trim around sill and bottom of second floor, had some rotted areas which needed repair and replacement. Michael quoted a flat price for the painting and deck. He quoted an hourly rate for the trim repair, because you could not know in advance how much would be involved with that until the work got started, but he did estimate how much time and repair work there might be, and his estimate worked out well.

Michael and his helpers did all the work promised, did it well and punctually. In fact we had a demanding deadline and they rescheduled some other work that was not as time-sensitive in order to take on our job and get it done on time. Michael was also very helpful to us by suggesting some strategies and methods for handling specific situations such as trim, natural-finish woods, small repairs, and the like, and gave us ideas and solutions we would not have thought of ourselves or been able to do ourselves. Also he helped us to $ave money by pointing out areas that did not need to be repainted; when someone has a chance to take your money, and says, you don't need to $pend that much, try this idea, it's a sign they have your best interest in mind, so it's good to consider their advice carefully . . .)

After two days of drying and we were able to walk on the deck and inspect it, we were so disgusted, disappointed and angry of the job performed. We had one shot to get the job right on a brand new deck and decided to hire a professional (from Angieslist). We received several estimates and decided to go with Top Coat. His estimate was right along with the others and we just liked what he had to say. Boy, were we mistaken. Nice guy, but workmanship is awful!! What we ended up with was NOT a professional stain job! Several areas never saw stain, drips, areas of stain are thicker than others, inconsistency of brush strokes (areas were even painted against the grain! Number one rule of painting....go with the grain!)....have many pictures to show the unprofessional job!!! It's a good thing for Top Coat I don't know how to upload pictures!!! My husband and I could have stained it better! How do we fix this? We now have to sand the whole thing!!! Thanks, Top Coat!!

Great! The work was done at probably the hottest part of a very hot summer but the crew showed up early to make sure that things got done. Gene took care of some imperfections in spots on the replaced siding. He gave me tips on the deck work that we chose to do ourselves and on painting a front door for our daughter. The final product looks terrific.

Gene recommended a new ceiling structure and paintining method. He masked all arrays necessary. He repainted three doors. He recommended many color and finish options. My wife loved the crown molding, wall color choices and all the door choices. Gene always gave us fact sheets on the products he recommended and color choice options. I have complete faith in Gene and company to advise rus, educate us, do the project on time within budget. We consider him a gem among painting professioanls in the painting business. We hired him three straight year for various exterior and interior projects. He will do our next project this year. He is a fine painter and very professional.

Randy and crew did an excellent exterior and interior paint job for me. In fact they exceeded my expectation when they found that I had some hidden water damage behind the mirror in my halfbath room when they removed it to paint the wall. They removed the damaged drywall and replaced it. In addition, they removed the damage ceiling and replaced it with a suspended ceiling so that I could have easy access to any leaky pipes in that area in the future. They finished the ceiling with crown molding which really made that halfbath really POP!!! I also got them to install a handrail on my stairs which was above and beyond what we had agreed on. It was another example of the great work they provide in addition to the excellent painting!!! I would gladly use them again!!!

They did a great job. They were efficient in their work, and they did a good job cleaning up.

We've used them a few times. The most recent time was for to paint the exterior of the home. We have a 2 full story home, with a deck, and a garage that they painted. There were a few cosmetic issues, nothing big, that they had to work around.

All in all after months of thought it went poorly. I came home from work on day 1 and a double window without screens was left completely open. ( I called Mike and he said it was to dry the paint.) Had I come home a bit later and the Rainstorm would have cause big problems. In that same room a wet pillow was left on an a Hopechest. The pillow smelled of paint. There was a wet paint stain on the Hopechest. In the basement paint was spattered on the floor, doors, and bathroom sink and washing machine. The nightmare continued and got worse. I told Mike of my concerns. He listens but doesn't not hear. I had to show him the defects. He had to repaint the entire upstairs hallway after I pointed out the poor job. He failed to the sand spackle and just painted over it. When paint was spilled on the carpet he tryed to vaccum it up with my vaccum. Many nails were not set and spackled. Three missed spots on the Kitchen ceiling were touched up with gloss paint and not ceiling white. Some of the interiors of the inset ceiling lights were missed. I had to leave a six page note (note pad size) of problems for him. All for not. I just wanted him to leave. I have not had a chance to fix all these problems so they are still here for your viewing.

I am sorry you feel that way we tried hard to make you happy. I understand that you were very stressed taking care of your 90 year old mother. The hallway only had one coat we had not had time the 2nd day to apply two coats it was not a bad job it was not done. I have never in my 32 years in business ever treated as badly or screamed at the way you did. we were treat like a red head step child. I still said I would come back . We toke care of all your issues as they came up. There was No paint spill or vacuum on job. hope your mom is doing well michaelann C.

It went very well. I am very happy with the work. I have an older home that had never been professionally painted, at least not in the last 50 years. The trim was in very bad shape as well as some of the walls. I also had some big cracks in my ceiling. Now it looks like new house on the inside. They got all the work done on time and even did a few extra things I needed done while they were here. They arrived on time were very professional and easy to get along with. They even got along well with my little dog who insisted on watching them work. I plan on hiring them again to do some painting on the outside of my house next year.,
