with high walls and lots and lots of natural light flooding in the windows... one of the reasons why I fell in love with the house! However, the previous owner had gone around and 'paint patched' scuffs and spots on the walls, which stuck out like a sore thumb to me! Either the finish of the paint didn't match, or the color... but with all that light flooding in... that?s all I could see. Bad paint patches everywhere!
I found Claude on Angies List, along with a few other painters, and asked him to come by to quote. I was originally hoping that
I might be able to just do a better, more matched, patching job myself, and perhaps save the expense of painting the whole place. But after talking with Claude, and doing my own patching experiments to realize that he was 100% right and I wouldn?t be
happy with attempting to repaint over patches? I decided to go ahead and just do the whole house. And I couldn?t have
been happier with that decision!!
Firstly, out of all the Painters on Angies List I had called, Claude was the most reliable! He ALWAYS returned my phone calls or text messages? and very promptly! He was always on time, and when he quoted my house, it was a concise quote, broken down room by room, so that if I decided to do only certain rooms and not others, it was very easy for me to
re-calculate how it would change the cost. There were no hidden fee?s, or taxes, or additional money owed for walls
over 10ft ? what he quoted is exactly what it cost. Also, he was the best value for money from the other providers who had quoted. Some were only quoting one layer of paint, or charging additional for patching /repairing small holes in the wall. Claude?s quote was inclusive of any small patching and included 2 layers of paint.
I often left Claude alone in my home to paint, and even asked him to lock up for me on a particular day as I wasn?t going to be
home for a couple days. I had no hesitation whatsoever that they are honest, reliable contractors.
I?m so happy with my decision to repaint the whole house. It looks so fresh and clean and there are no longer any blemishes on my walls. I have perfect walls!
The one thing that Claude does ask on exterior painting is that the customer should do any wood damage replacement themselves or ask another contractor to do that part. He specializes in painting, and this was the reason we ultimately decided not to have him paint the exterior, as we were looking for an outfit who could do both wood work and painting on the exterior--less hassle for us. I wouldn't really say that is a "down side" to Poli Paint, it is just something to consider if you're looking to have an exterior paint job done on an older home. As I said, he hand paints everything on both interior and exterior--This is actually one thing I really liked about his proposal on the exterior even though it did not include wood work--He quoted us to hand paint with two coats all the siding, which would ensure a thicker, longer lasting coat of paint. The painter we ended up selecting for the exterior, and all the other contractors who quoted us for exterior painting planned to paint the siding, gutters and soffits with a sprayer.
Prompt for our estimate meeting and in getting the estimate back to me on the same day. Communicated when he would be at the house via call or text. He was able to smooth out some very difficult walls left by a previous owner. Always put down painters cloths even thought he knew we were replacing the carpet. Cleaned and straighten the area after the days work. Very neat. He goes above and beyond
Very pleasant to work with. Will definitely use again.My home is 7 years old and the front of the home was beginning to deteriorate from sun damage, so I initially hired Claude to paint the front of the home with 2 coats of paint. It looked so good that I decided to have the rest of the home painted, but 2 coats seemed unnecessary on the part of the home not affected by the sun. So, to keep the cost lower, we agreed to use one coat of paint/stain wherever possible.
The house is very large with many windows and doors, complex elevations and cedar siding. Claude worked for approximately 3 weeks painting every nook and cranny to my complete satisfaction. He painted the trim, windows, doors and gutters, and stained the cedar shingles. All work was done by hand with brushes and rollers (no spraying). He even brushed the stain on the cedar siding where needed to ensure adequate absorption. He caulked everywhere it was needed. He came back after the job to take care of an area he missed and also made a minor drywall repair inside that I couldn't reach.
His prices are very straight forward on windows and doors with a per unit charge, half for one coat. Pricing of gutters, siding and trim is a bit more subjective, but seemed fair and in-line or slightly lower than what others were paying in my neighborhood. His willingness to go with one coat where needed cut the cost by half on those areas.
Where you will really score using Claude is the quality of his work. Painting is his only business and he takes a lot of pride in his work. He used no sub-contractors or other employees on my job and I highly recommend him.
