Quality work done right. In business 10 years with 20 plus years experience. I walk through the project step by step with the customer to make sure that they are completely satisfied. I guarantee my work for at least 3 years, depending on the service provided. Insured and bonded.

"At first he was responsive and I was happy , but once I paid him , he did not show up again to do the second job that we agreed upon nor did he finish the first job that included tasks that were going to be completed in the second job . he did not show up on four different occasions over an entire week, then he hung up on me, I no longer want to work with him under any circumstances, so I would expect money back. He spilled paint on my cabinets, he painted the column the wrong color and it wasn't completed because it needs more applications, I overpaid him $100 on accident but said I would take it off of the next job that he never showed up for. Some tasks on the first job were going to be included in the second job but since he never showed up for the second job, the first job was not completed. I have to pay another contractor to fix his mistakes and finish the job. The paint in the bathroom also needs to be touched up, which he said he was coming back to do along with the other touch-ups needed. He also accidentally broke a piece off of my cabinet."

"I hired this company to repair hail damage on my home in 2023. The job was to replace the roofs on my house and garage as well as siding and gutters on my house. Long story short they came out and did the roofs in a timely manner, the siding and gutters not so much. Communication was lacking and they tried to charge me way more than what my insurance scope was. I had to get a lawyer involved. He sued me and we went to court. I won my case in February 2025 and I am still waiting to be paid the money I am owed. I do not recommend this company, buyer beware."

Painting questions, answered by experts

If you have a can or two of paint that's past its prime, replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. A gallon of paint costs an average of $25. You may pay more if you want a superior quality paint or if you choose oil-based paint instead of latex or acrylic. 

Buying in bulk can help you save, provided you use all the paint you purchase. For example, a 5-gallon bucket of paint tends to cost less per gallon than a pint or quart-sized can.

The average cost of installing baseboards ranges from $800 to $2,250. Painting your baseboards adds about $1 to $6 per linear foot. The baseboard materials, labor costs, baseboard style, and site preparation can all impact how much you pay.

You may be able to paint a high ceiling without a ladder if you have an extension pole that reaches high enough. Some extension poles have telescoping handles, allowing you to adjust the pole's length without needing to swap it out. Another option is to use a scaffold to reach high areas.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Painting the exterior of your home is a moderate to advanced DIY project and requires certain tools, supplies, experience, and time. Due to the intricacies and time involved, exterior painting is usually best left to a pro, but can be tackled by an enthusiastic homeowner.
