Venetian Designs Painting and Decorating

Luke and his team at Venetian Designs are fantastic! My wife and I are truly grateful for their contributions to the remodel of our townhouse. Luke and his team were timely, professional and their quality of work was impeccable – they are just overall great to work with for shorter or longer-term projects. As we think about future needs, Venetian Designs will 100% be our go-to team. We had a laundry lists of project “asks” for Luke and his team: paint our entire house (three floors), install new base boarding and trim throughout the house (inclusive of our old wooden windows), paint our kitchen cabinets, create built-in shelving and cabinets for our living room, install recessed lighting throughout our home, install new doors throughout the home, gut and completely remodel 2.5 bathrooms, add wainscoting as accents, sand and re-stain our staircases and re-do the aesthetics and tiling around our fireplace, finish unfinished closet space to turn into a wine cellar, finish another unfinished area of our basement including adding ceiling tiles (to name a few). One of the many things we truly appreciated in working with Luke and his team was their willingness to expand their typical work expertise beyond painting, which by the way, is picture perfect as they really know how to pay attention to all the small details…my wife and I still joke that we can get lost in the deep blue on one of the walls. What I can’t stress enough is how great of a project manager Luke is. He is open about other jobs that his team may have, but will always make you feel like you’re his priority. He’s always responsive and doesn’t “ghost” his customers. In terms of project planning, Luke did a thorough job thinking through our master shower remodel which included stripping down an older tub and shower and turning the space into a 6 foot long shower. This is the type of contractor you want to partner with you and what separated Luke from the other contractors we evaluated early in the remodel decision. Again, what really sets Venetian Designs apart is their abilities to project plan, to provide guidance on whether or not something is structurally possible or aesthetically makes sense and to be proactive in communication around timelines, cost, materials needed, etc. He was truly transparent about what could be done within our budget and provided great ideas for alternative ways to achieve the look that we wanted. These were such refreshing qualities and my wife and I were low stress throughout the entire project. Please enjoy some of the before and after pictures of our home below. Please note that Luke did not install our hardwood floors, but recommended an awesome flooring guy for us who we would also recommend to others (@Flooring by Krystian). Please feel to message me directly if you would like more details on our experience with Venetian Designs. Many thanks to Luke again for making our first home perfect!!!

Venetian's quote was the lowest, and I think we got what we paid for. The Venetian team were pleasant and easy to work with. After they completed their work, we noticed a number of areas where the quality was not great. They painted our baseboards and there are numerous places throughout our home where they did a poor job of taping and there is now paint on our brand new hard wood floors. Additionally, there are some places on the baseboards where the paint is already chipping and it hasn't even been 6 months since the work was completed. When we needed additional paint work done, we reached out to Venetian in the hopes that they would be able to do some touch up work in the places we noticed some issues. It took them over 2 weeks to get back to me, and then when I reached out again to solidify a date with them I never heard anything back at all. Due to the lack of response, we reached out to other interior paint vendors and when each of them came to our home to provide us with a quote they commented on the poor quality of the previous work done by the Venetian team.

I couldn't say enough about Luke & Venetian Designs. Our first experience with them was last year when we had our trim & doors redone. We had oak trim & doors & Luke & his team painted them white. It looks stunning with very little grain showing through. Due to overspray, they painted every room in the house, including some ceilings. This also included removing some wall paper & border & correcting some rather large blemishes in the walls. While they were here completing other jobs, they also painted our fireplace mantel at no additional cost. Their painting was extremely precise & the final product looks outstanding. Any time we have friends or company over, we receive complements on the quality of their work. The estimate given by Venetian Designs beat out two other competitors, hands down. Because of such a positive experience the first time, we used them again to do our kitchen remodeling project. Even though they have a history of competitive pricing, we still got estimates from two other painters. Venetian Designs still came out the most reasonably priced. Luke & his guys painted our cabinets, refinished our laundry room counter-top (free of charge) & applied a beautiful back splash. It's a completely new kitchen that I absolutely love. They are hard working, extremely detail-oriented & offer great decorating & painting advice. We couldn't be happier with the services provided by Luke & Venetian Designs; we'd recommend them to everyone (& actually, two of our neighbors already have used them for their own painting jobs).
