We went with another contractor.
Description of Work: Kelly was professional. Her estimate was higher than other contractors. We decided to go with another contractor since we could get additional work done, i.e. additional room painted and trim work painted. Since we didn't go with Kelly we don't have a sense of what colors she would have recommended since the initial meeting was primarily for her to scope out the project. ($5640)

From our first meeting with Kelly we knew she would be the right person to help us pick a color that we would love. We had a dark green in our living room that just was not cheerful at all. We thought we were pottery beige people, but Kelly helped us think about other colors and in the end chose colors that were vibrant and happy. She really wanted us to be very happy with the colors. Her crew was always on time, respectful and even very nice to our 3 year old who asked them numerous questions. They finished early and took care to put back all of our furniture. A few days later, we are loving our new living room. The color is perfect and it was actually an enjoyable process. We would use Kelly again.
Description of Work: Our living room, hallway and the walls along the staircase-including all woodwork.

Response from Paint the Town Red
YOU KNOW THAT A CLIENT LIKES YOUR WORK WHEN THEY REFER YOU TO THEIR MOTHER-IN-LAW!! I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH THE MEMBER AND HER FAMILY AS WELL AS HER HUSBAND’S MOTHER. BOTH FAMILIES ARE GREAT AND I FEEL LIKE I AM AN ADOPTED MEMBER. SHE PREVIOUSLY PAINTED HER LIVING ROOM A DARK GREEN AND REGRETTED IT. SO SHE CALLED ME TO HELP SELECT COLORS AND SAVE HER FROM THE PAINTING PROCESS AGAIN. I NOTICE THAT MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH GETTING THE RIGHT COLOR ON THE WALLS TO ENHANCE THE ROOM IN ALL SEASONS AND ALL TIMES OF DAY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A ROOM IS PAINTED DARK AND THE FAMILY IS IN THAT ROOM AT NIGHT MOST OF THE TIME IT MAY BE TOO DEPRESSING. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU PAINT A CHILD’S ROOM OVERLY BRIGHT AND HAPPY THEY MAY NOT WANT TO SLEEP BUT INSTEAD STAY UP AND PLAY WHEN THEY GO TO THEIR ROOM. COLOR HAS A VIBRATION LEVEL ASSOCIATED WITH IT. MARKETING ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN STUDYING THIS FOREVER AND IT ALSO APPLIES TO YOUR OWN LIVING SPACE. THE MEMBER'S MOTHER-IN-LAW HIRED ME SPECIFICALLY TO BOTH CONFIRM AND EXPAND ON HER NEWLY SELECTED COLORS FOR THEIR NEW TOWNHOME. SINCE SHE IS FROM THE SOUTH, SHE HAD A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND HAD A HARD TIME WITH OUR MIDWESTERN WEATHER. TOGETHER WE CREATED A SPLENDID ENVIRONMENT.

The colors are exactly what we wanted and everything looks great. They used high quality paint and did a wonderful job! The clean up was impeccable. The only thing I can complain about is that they we late quite a few times. Everything else went smoothly.
Description of Work: They painted six rooms in our home, including two bedrooms, the living room, dining room, kitchen and one bathroom.

Response from Paint the Town Red
THIS HOUSE AND CLIENT WAS AMAZING TO WORK WITH. THE TOWNHOUSE WAS ONLY 5-10 YEARS OLD SO THERE WERE ONLY BLEMISHES TO REPAIR ON THE WALLS. THE FUN CAME WITH DETERMINING HOW ALL THE COLORS IN ALL THE ROOMS SINCE IT WAS A 3 STORY HOME AND THE HALL WAY FLOWED INTO ALL OPEN FLOOR PLANS ON EACH LEVEL. WE STARTED WITH THE BABY’S ROOM AS SHE HAS A FEW IDEAS AND ACCESSORIES FOR HIS CRIB. WE USED A DEEP RED TO ACCENT THE ‘BLUE-JEAN’ BLUE WE SELECTED. IT WAS PRICELESS AND COLORS THEY COULD WORK WITH AS HE GOT OLDER. THE MAIN LIVING ROOM WAS OPEN TO THE KITCHEN AND THE ENTRYWAY. WE CREATED A DRAMATIC LOOK WITH ACCENT WALLS AND RICH COLORS THAT COMPLIMENTED THE WOOD WORK AND THEIR ARTWORK. THE HOME LOOKS LIKE A JEWEL BOX. THE BEDROOMS ARE DISTINCT FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL WHILE THE LIVING SPACE FLOWS AND GENTLY TRANSITIONS ALL THE WAY TO THE THIRD FLOOR. THE PRICE IS MISTYPED AS THE COST WAS APPROXIMATELY $5,500.

I was really pleased, both with the quality of the paint work and with the colors that Kelly helped me to select. Kelly listened very closely to what I was trying to accomplish, color preferences, etc. but also gave me some great advice about what would work best and what to avoid. This struck me as an especially challenging project because the loft is largely open and one room flows into another, etc., so choosing colors that work together was not easy! Everything turned out great and is pretty much exactly what I wanted. I was also really impressed with Kelly's team. They were professional and worked extremely hard to get in and out of my place in less than a week. They were also really careful with all of my things and cleaned up thoroughly each night. I ended up paying a little more than I'd planned because of some additional repair work that needed to be done, but it's worth paying a little more to get people who really know what they're doing.
Description of Work: Kelly and her team painted my entire loft, which is approximately 1500 square feet, specifically. They painted the large main room (with approximately 18 foot ceilings), the adjacent kitchen, hallway and foyer, study, bedroom, master bathroom, and guest bathroom; as well as the ceilings in the bedroom, study, hallway, and master bathroom; and all of the closet doors and baseboards. They also did some fairly extensive repair of the bedroom ceiling. Also, Kelly did a color consultation with me in advance of the painting to choose the colors that her team would use.

THIS MEMBER WAS AMAZING TO WORK WITH. SHE PURCHASED A 2 STORY LOFT AND WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE HER WINDOW OF TIME BY PAINTING JUST AFTER SHE MOVED THE BOXES IN BUT JUST BEFORE UNPACKING THEM. HER SPACE WAS UNUSUAL SINCE THERE WERE EXPOSED BRICK AND AN OPEN ROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR THAT OVERLOOKED THE LIVING ROOM. THE ROOM HAD INTERESTING PIPES THAT WE USED AS ‘URBAN-CONTRAST’ IN OUR COLOR PALATE TO EMPHASIZE THE FEELING OF A LOFT WHILE ALSO ADDING AN ELEGANT FEEL TO THE OVERALL HOME. THE COLORS WE USED WERE RICH. WE CONCEALED THE WALL TEXTURE IN THE HALLWAY BY SKIM COATING AND SANDING IT WHICH ESSENTIALLY CREATED A FRESH NEW, SMOOTH SURFACE AREA. WE PAINTED OVER THE DREARY COLOR OF THE LIVING ROOM WITH A PALATE OF 3 RICH EARTH TONES.

Kelly & her team did a great job. Kelly has a great sense of color and space- which was extremely helpful in painting a uniquely designed space and really bringing out its full potential. She was also great about trying out the colors on the wall and offering alternatives when some of them weren't what we had in mind. Her workers were very efficient- it took about 2 1/2 days to finish everything. They even changed a couple of light bulbs in hard to reach places. I got a few estimates before picking Paint the Town Red and their prices were in line with others that were recommended on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Painted living room/kitchen, master bedroom, master bath and stairs/ entryway, including ceilings & moldings on ceiling. Did not include painting of any trim or moldings (e.g., doorways, baseboard).

We met with Kelly to decide which areas needed touching up and which areas needed new color as well as repair. Kelly was instrumental in helping us to decide which colors would best help us to sell our condo in this difficult real estate market. Her crew started on a Monday and were done on Wednesday! They did a superb job of preparing our home for the job as well as cleaning up before they left! We could not be more pleased with the results! Our place looks fantastic and I would recommend Kelly and her team to anyone!
Description of Work: My husband and I are preparing to place our condo on the market. We needed to spruce up the walls in order to compete with all of the new construction in our area.

Initially, Kelly met with me at my home and discussed design options, offering colors, contrasts, and room flow for our home. She was able to give me the options I felt comfortable with and then I was able to make a decision, that in the end, I was thrilled with. Her team was professional, precise, and very quick! They did a thorough job and completed the painting within 2 days.

Fantastic overall. Kelly returned my call within one day, she quickly scheduled me in, she came out and listened to my needs and provided fantastic color recommendations. The paint crew was scheduled for that weekend and Renee (crew leader) was very meticulous and detailed about the work. I am extremely pleased with the results and would not hesitate to use Kelly in the future, the price is well worth it.
Description of Work: Painted Master Bedroom (11 x 14), Office (11 x 11), all walls, trim, doors and ceilings in both rooms, plus accent wall over fireplace and an accent wall in the kitchen.

THE MEMBER WAS SO FUN AND ENTHUSIASTIC TO WORK WITH. THIS WAS HER FIRST HOME SO SHE WAS REALLY INVESTED IN PERSONALIZING THE SPACE TO SUITE HER TASTE AND STYLE. THE WALLS WERE ALREADY NICELY PAINTED IN BEIGE BUT THEY REALLY LACKED PERSONALITY. WE ADDED THE RIGHT ACCENT WALLS AND PAINTED KEY ROOM TO MAKE THE HOME REALLY FEEL LIKE HOME. WE MADE THE FIREPLACE GRANITE LOOK RICH AND MADE THE ROOM FEEL MORE COHESIVE AND SUBTLY DRAMATIC. WE WORKED AROUND THEIR MOVE-IN SCHEDULE AND WERE ABLE TO FINISH THE JOB IN RECORD TIME SO SHE WOULD HAVE TIME TO UNPACK THE REST OF HER ITEMS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH SUCH POSITIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE EXCITED ABOUT INVESTING IN THEIR OWN HOME TO REALLY CREATE A FEELING THAT PERSONALIZES IT AND IN TURN INSPIRES THEM. THANKS! J

Overall, it went great! Because we were having bookcases installed, we needed the living room painted quickly. Only 2 of the several interior painters I contacted could fit me into their schedule. I got quotes from both & decided to go with Paint the Town Red because the quote was a bit less but also because Kelly provided color advice and other interior decorating opinions. I liked & respected her immediately. I initially e-mailed Paint the Town Red on 6/12, Kelly came to look over the job on 6/18, we received the quote 6/24,and she and her crew did the work in two full days: 6/26 and 6/27. The written quote was a bit sketchy, but she explained in detail what would be done-and it all went very smoothly. The crew of 3 guys was very professional, efficient, detail-oriented, and nice. After the first coat, I asked for some (minor) changes, for which we weren't charged. Kelly was quite flexible. It all looks beautiful, and I'll use Kelly again when we do the rest of the condo.
Description of Work: Painted large living room and hallway, including ceiling, wood trim and baseboards, 6 doors, and a brick fireplace. Kelly Fitzsimmons (the owner) helped us decide what colors to use. Kelly's crew first scraped, caulked, plastered, and sanded to achieve a smooth and blemish-free a surface as possible. They taped and filled cracks, fixed some water damage on the ceiling, and repaired a scraped and flaking windowsill. They applied 2 coats to the walls, woodwork (after sanding and priming), and doors and 1 to the ceiling. Sherwin Williams Pro-mar 200 paint was used. Kelly carefully looked over the work and the crew did some touching up. They cleaned up after the job beautifully.

THE MEMBER WAS SO SWEET! HIS HOME AND STYLE IS IMPECCABLE. WE SASSED UP THE KITCHEN WITH A PAPAYA-LIKE COLOR AND DID SOME MAJOR REPAIRS IN A WATER DAMAGED AND NEGLECTED ROOM. THIS PROJECT REALLY ALLOWED US TO SHINE IN THE “OTHER” ASPECT OF PAINTING THAT WE DO BEST - REPAIR! I AM VIGILANT ABOUT CREATING WALLS TO LOOK LIKE NEW AGAIN. WE SCRAPPED, PATCHED, SANDED, CAULKED, PRIMED AND PAINTED OUR BUTTS OFF ON THIS ONE. THE OUTCOME WAS STUNNING AND THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES WOULD BLOW ANYONE AWAY. I ALWAYS SAY THAT THERE ARE 2 CRITICAL ASPECTS TO PAINTING: PREPARATION AND COLOR. PREPARATION INCLUDES COVERING THE FURNITURE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FIXING THE REPAIRS IN ORDER TO PREPARE A SMOOTH SURFACE AREA TO ENSURE A DURABLE, LONG-LASTING PAINT JOB THAT ALSO LOOKS AND FEEL STUNNING. THANKS.

We loved working with Kelly from start to finish. She was invaluable in helping us select colors. At the same time, she was very open to our input - meaning while talented, she does not take on an air of superiority. Her crew was exceptionally neat and professional. While you will pay a bit of a premium with Kelly, it is well worth it. For example, on the first day of painting, I received a call at work. Upon seeing our new rug, Kelly felt that one of the colors was not a great match for the room. She still painted the fireplace with the original color so that we could review it that evening. She was absolutely right. We in turn went with a different color which we love. Kelly didn't blink an eye at having to repaint the fireplace and going with another color for the room. Now, how many painters would do that! Again, we have huge praise for Kelly. Paint makes a phenomenal statement in your environment so it makes sense to go with the best. Kelly and her crew are the best.
Description of Work: Painted two walls in living room, two walls in master bedroom, 4 walls in guest bedroom and all walls in both master bath and guest bath.

TALK ABOUT AWESOME AND DEDICATED CLIENTS! THE MEMBERS NOT ONLY HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF STYLE AND FEEL FOR COLOR, THEY ALSO HAVE A WONDERFUL DYNAMIC BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM. WE SPENT MANY HOURS GOING OVER COLOR AND IT WAS A TRUE PLEASURE. THEY WERE OPEN TO CREATIVE IDEAS AND REALLY THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDERED THEIR DECISIONS. IT IS A JOY TO WORK WITH FOLKS WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR PLACE FEEL GOOD. COLOR PLAYS SUCH A LARGE ROLE IN THE OVERALL MOOD OF A HOME AND REALLY CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT ON YOUR OWN. I AM DEDICATED TO GETTING THE ‘RIGHT’ COLORS AND COMBINATIONS IN THE SPACE FOR THE MOST DELICIOUS OUTCOME! THANKS, GUYS!

Kelly spent hours going over wall colors with me; in the end I chose 8 of them to make sure they are not clashing or overpowering. Her input was invaluable to the amazing end result. Her crew were very fast and neat finishing the whole job in just 8 days (estimates from other teams were for 1 month). They were professional, hard working and very experienced. Very open minded to my suggestions or questions. Kelly herself would stop by every day to inspect the work and advise the crew on what needed to be done or touched up. She was also very proactive in touching base with me almost daily to go over any changes, problems or work progress. I absolutely love how it came out, and I'm happy I chose Kelly for this job not only for her great patience to consult with me over colors, but also for the way she and her crew completed the work. Very good client oriented team!
Description of Work: Kelly's team painted a foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 stairways, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a hallway which included walls, woodwork, rails, ceilings and repairs where needed.

Kelly returned our call quickly and scheduled an appointment within a week. She was very prompt and took alot of time talking with us about the project. She was very personable and professional. Her painters were great. I was concerned about my wood trim and they were very cautious and the result looks great! They cleaned as they went. We are very happy with the job Kelly and her team did and we will definitely use Paint the Town Red in the future!
Description of Work: Kelly's team painted our interior back stairwell that included six flights of stairs from the basement to attic including a very high vaulted ceiling as well as our kitchen. There is alot of wood trim in the stairway and kitchen and they were very careful in the detail work. They even cleaned a window for me that was unreachable.

SHE WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. FROM TALKING WITH HER DURING THE INITIAL ESTIMATE I KNEW THAT HER REFINISHED WOODWORK AND NEW KITCHEN CABINETS WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO HER. SO DURING THE PREP STAGE WE TOOK EXTRA CARE TO COVER ALL THE WOOD INCLUDING THE FLOORS SINCE WE PAINTED THE CEILING. TO ME THE PREPARATION DETERMINES HOW SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE JOB IS. I LISTENED TO THE CLIENT AND WE CREATED A LOVELY AND INVITING KITCHEN AND A FUNCTIONAL, CLEAN 5-STORY STAIRWAY. SHE WAS DILIGENT AND GOT 2-3 OTHER QUOTES AND I WAS VERY PLEASED TO BE HIRED TO WORK WITH HER.

I left a message for Kelly and she returned my call while she was out of the country. Incredibly nice! When she returned to Chicago she called and we set up a time to meet. She came promptly. We discussed the rooms to be painted & what I was trying to accomplish color wise. I believe it was within a week that she came back to meet with myself and my husband to discuss colors. She came up with great ideas. For example, we painted two walls in my son's room a beautiful shade of blue and two walls a funky green color. The family room and kitchen are fresh and flow nicely from one room to the next. Our daughter's room was a last minute decision to paint. The room had had a flat finish on the bottom portion of her walls which was repainted with a semi gloss. She gave great ideas as to types of paint to use since I have small children whose fingers are everywhere on the walls! Overall, we couldn't be happier with Kelly, the work done and her trustworthy and professional staff.
Description of Work: We had our family room (walls and ceiling), kitchen (just walls), son's room (walls and ceiling), and daughter's room (a portion of wall under the chair rail) painted. Our family room required some patch-up work on the crown molding/ceiling.

THE MEMBER AND HER FAMILY WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH. THEY UPDATED THEIR HOME WITH MODERN, FRESH COLORS AND A NEW KITCHEN! WE REPAINTED THEIR DATED FAUX STAIRWAY TO A RICH NATURAL COLOR. THE WORK INCLUDED PRIMING THE FAUX, PAINTING THE CEILING, ALL THE WOOD TRIM AND STAIRS PLUS THE WALLS. THE DIFFERENCE WAS NIGHT AND DAY!

Kelly returned my call quickly, made an appointment to discuss color ideas and arrived on time. She gave me wonderful ideas, requested the paint manufacturer to send 'extra large sized' paint samples to my home so that I could review them at different times of the day in various light and together we came up with a plan to revitalize my home with new modern colors that totally updated my home. The paint crew arrived promptly each day and covered the floors with cloths and protected the furniture and walls as they painted. Each night they cleaned up and Kelly inspected their work throughout the project. The crew members were great painters, polite and helpful. The job was finished early, my floors were left clean, large items were all replaced to their original location and the extra paint was taken to the basement. Overall the project was a great success.
Description of Work: Paint the Town Red repaired and painted the ceilings, walls and trim in our foyer, stair well, living room, hall, kitchen, dining room, master bedroom and 2 bathrooms.

THE MEMBER WAS SO APPRECIATIVE OF CREATIVE COLOR CONSULTATION PROCESS. SHE WAS OPEN TO MOVING BEYOND HER “COLOR COMFORT ZONE” IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY CREATE A HOME THAT NOW FEELS AMAZING! WE WORKED FOR HOURS TO DETERMINE JUST THE RIGHT COLORS FOR EACH SPACE. WE REVIEWED TWO ROUNDS OF DIFFERENT 8X11 COLOR SAMPLES ON THE WALL AND MONITORED THE COLORS THROUGHOUT THE PAINTING PROCESS NOT ONLY TO MAKE SURE THE COLORS MATCHED THE NEW WINDOW TREATMENTS BUT THAT THE COLORS ALSO WORKED BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER AND IN THE LIGHTING JUST AS WE HAD ENVISIONED WITH THE SAMPLES. WE TURNED A VERY SIMPLE BEDROOM INTO A DELICIOUS, RICH SPACE. WE PLAYED WITH ACCENT COLORS THAT ALLOW THE EYE TO FLOW THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH EASE AND CONTINUITY. THE DINING ROOM AND THE RICH CHOCOLATE BROWN KITCHEN PERFECTLY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER AND THE BATHROOM IS SASSY! IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH AND GETTING TO KNOW THE MEMBER.

Kelly and her crew have been consistently professional and their work has been of excellent and consistent quality. I have had numerous compliments on the quality of the work done. I have asked Paint The Town Red to return to do additional work twice. Kelly has provided invaluable help to me as a color consultant. For the latest job, involving three rooms and a stairwell, Paint The Town Red arrived promptly on a Monday morning and worked long days to complete all the work to my satisfaction in six days. The work crew was expert at their work, they were careful, clean and bonded. Kelly was present regularly to inspect and to supervise the work crew. I will not hesitate to seek out Paint the Town Red the next time I need interior painting and related maintenance.
Description of Work: Paint The Town Red has done several jobs in my home over the past three years. They have painted my living room, dining room and master bedroom, repairing and skim coating the plaster ceilings to hide the age cracks in my 90 year-old home. The last job, completed in March 2007, involved two bedrooms, a stairwell and my kitchen. Paint The Town Red removed acoustic tile from two bedroom ceilings and installed new ceilings. They repaired and skim-coated my stairwell ceilings. They removed the wallpaper from the stairwell and from my kitchen. Then they painted the two bedrooms and trim, the stairwell and the kitchen walls.

WORKING WITH THIS MEMBER IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE!! SINCE HE LIVES IN AN OLDER PLASTER HOME IT IS MORE CHALLENGING TO MAKE THE WALLS LOOK NEW. “TIGHTENING’ UP THE SPACE BY FILLING IN THE CRACKS AND PATCHING THE BLEMISHES IS A LARGE PART OF THE PREPARATION WORK THAT WHAT WE DID TO MAKE HIS SPACE LOOK NEW AND FRESH AGAIN. WE WORKED HOURS TO GET THE OLD WALLPAPER AND GLUE OFF THE WALLS. WE HAD TO SKIM COAT THE ENTIRE WALL WITH PLASTER TO FILL IN THE HOLES AND NICKS. PREPARATION IS THE KEY TO A HIGH QUALITY PAINT JOB THAT LASTS AND IS ATTRACTIVE. WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME GETTING THE WALLS AND CEILINGS READY TO PAINT. THE COLORS THAT WE SELECTED COMPLIMENTED THE RICH WOOD DOORS. WE FOCUSED ON MAKING THE ROOMS LOOK LARGE AND LIGHT. WE GAVE THE HALLWAY A MODERN FLARE THAT WAS SUBTLE AND SUITED HIM AND POTENTIAL BUYERS. THE CLIENT WAS A JOY TO WORK WITH AND WAS RESPONSIBLE AND VERY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME.

Prior to meeting the team at Paint-the-Town-Red, we thought we had a good vision of the color spectrum and tasteful color selection, however, the team took us to a new level of understanding. They took the time to consider a wide array of color choices and faux finishes that created a feeling and warmth in our home beyond our expectations. In addition, the painters were very considerate of our personal belongings, paid attention to details beyond our demanding expectations, were always on time, and got the project done ahead of schedule. We are very pleased with the results and highly recommend Paint-The-Town-Red.
Description of Work: Color consulting, wall repair, caulking, painting all rooms, and closets.

They started out great, I came home from work and everything looked good, however on the third day when I came home, I discover a problem; someone had gone through some drawers and other personal things. I called Kelly and told her no one was allowed in the condo until we talked. She did come up and told me she fired the workman who was in the condo the day I noticed someone had gone through some personal things. She only had one workman in the condo working and he became a little sloppier (I had to clean paint of off new cabinets and tile floor) he also missed a few spots (which I'm sure if I called he would have come back, by this time I just thought I would touch up myself as I did not want to take more time off work). The painter took home the outlet covers and when I asked where they were he said he would bring them back the next day after work, which he did; however they were still green and the walls had been painted brown. I painted and replaced the cover myself.
Description of Work: They were supposed to paint the entire 2 bath two bedroom condo, and repair wallpaper. The kitchen, living area had been remodeled and needed primed and then painted.

Response from Paint the Town Red
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS CLIENT WAS BEYOND DIFFICULT-A CLIENT THAT CONTRACTORS TRY TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY COMPANY COULD SATISFY THIS CLIENT SINCE SHE WAS ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CONTRACTOR WHO REMODELED HER KITCHEN. THE MINUTE SHE CALLED ME TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE I ARRIVED ON THE JOB SITE AND WAS MICRO-MANAGING THE JOB UNTIL COMPLETED TO HER SATISFACTION. SHE CLAIMED THAT WE WENT THROUGH HER DRAWERS THE VERY SAME DAY HER HUSBAND PUT THE LAUNDRY AWAY IN THEIR BEDROOM. YET, I ADDRESSED THE ISSUE BY FIRING MY PAINTER WHO WAS WORKING IN THE BEDROOM THAT DAY. PLUS I GAVE HER A DEEP DISCOUNT FOR HER SUPPOSED “TROUBLES”. IT IS A PITY THAT CLIENTS LIKE THIS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TAINT THE IMAGE OF A CONTRACTOR'S TRACK RECORD. PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL ANGIE’S LIST REPORTS THAT REFLECT A MORE ACCURATE REVIEW OF OUR SERVICES. ADDITIONAL REFERENCES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST TO CONFIRM THAT OUR SERVICE AND SKILLS FAR EXCEED THE GRADE LEVEL GIVEN HERE.

I am extremely happy with not only the finished product but also with the process! Kelly's energy and enthusiasm for her clients and their homes is amazing. I was desperate to get my place painted due to the drab color already on the walls and the even worse color the first painter I hired started to paint. She recognized this was a paint emergency and really saved the day! Having worked with others who have a difficult time understanding what you want or who want to work in colors they are comfortable, Kelly appears to be a rarity in that she provides fantastic insights and also provides options to find what will make the final product a reflection of you. Her responsiveness, customer focus, project management and attention to detail are excellent. But it is really her passion for what she does that makes it all come together to be a great experience. I would recommend Kelly to anyone and would definitely work with her again!
Description of Work: Color consulting and painting all walls, trim and doors in my 935 sq ft loft. Color Consulting: Kelly responded the same day to my phone call. She was able to meet with me within the next couple of days. She spent between 1 & 2 hours helping me select colors and suggesting color placement. She is very skilled at hearing what you like and don't like (even if you can't articulate it clearly) and tailoring her suggestions to that. Painting: Kelly sensed my need to have the work done immediately and was able to schedule her painters within the next two days. Her crew was fabulous - extremely nice, did very high quality work and cleaned up when they were finished. They worked long days over a weekend to paint my condo in two days. Quality: Kelly reviewed the work at the end of each day. She did a walk thru by herself & with me to ensure, while the painters were still there that all touchups were done and everything was perfect. She was very thorough.

Kelly and her crew came in with great enthusiasm! They patch and prep the walls before painting. Kelly took the time before the actual paint date and hand picked the colors with us. She had really high energy and was a hands-on partner through out the day of the job. The walls were painted beautifully and we have had many compliments regarding the interior of our store, since the grand opening. Kelly has great advice during the consultation and really understands the energy of your color needs and wants of the job. We will use her for all of our projects and recommend her to all of our clients and friends! Kelly and her staff are true pros!
Description of Work: We had the interior of our new store painted.
