Cameron did a superior job on our deck painting. There were lots of challenges with the shortage of paint, height of the deck above ground, and inclement weather. He was persistent, reliable and had excellent communication skills. We are very pleased with his honesty and work ethic.

"We're pleased to hear that Cameron exceeded your expectations despite the challenges. We appreciate your business."

I had College Works come out for a small project, just to stain my deck. I dealt with Alex who was nice and knowledgeable. I was impressed by his professionalism being as young as he was. Everything went smoothly, communication was great, his painting crew was top notch and the quality of the paint job was just what I expected. I would recommend College Works and would not hesitate to hire them again myself.

Overall we were satisfied with their work. The only delays we experienced were due to the weather and the experienced painter being late. The kids were all nice and no complaints with their work. The kids started late working waiting on their experienced painter being late

Jeff Korus and his team did very professional and did excellent work. Jeff found me by knocking on doors. His timing was great. He listened to what was needed, presented their credentials, set the right expectation, outlined the pricing and timing, was very responsive, and they delivered. Yes, I highly recommend Jeff Korus and College Works Painting. :)

Working with Jeff Korus was an experience of unusual quality. He is a young man of unusual maturity and integrity for his age. He deserves a top rating. Some of his hired help was very good in their attention to detail of the interior work, and some compromised attention to detail. But Jeff seized took responsibility for our drawing up a punch list and he personally addressed each detail to our satisfaction.

Alex Williams led a team from College Works Painting and completed painting the exterior of my house in June, 2018. He was professional throughout the job, communicating regularly, and delivering quality work right on schedule. I would recommend Alex who clearly has a grasp on how to approach painting projects in this his second summer with College Works.

The whole process went well and we're very pleased with the new color. Jessica and her team provided assistance in selecting the color, making the cost very affordable, arranging the dates, and completing the work. The house looks great and it was completed in 3 and a half days. They worked with us to ensure every detail was done with quality.

Fairly well, There was a little splatter on the staining but overall, good work. They came back for a little touch up at our request. Bottom line: yes, we would hire them again.
