"My husband and I used Johnel from All Star Painting in 2021 to remodel two bathrooms- one primary and one half bath. I’m finally posting this review after wrestling with my conscience for far too long. While Johnel was extremely friendly and easy to talk to, the attention to detail from him and some of his team was seriously lacking in a lot of places. Examples include setting the temp gauge on the shower backwards (so it went from hot to cold), installing a chrome-colored drain when all our hardware was black, scratching up our new toilet seats by setting their tools directly on them, using a sticky clear caulk around the toilet that attracted dust and dirt. But wait, there’s more… The most irritating thing is the way the master bath flooring turned out. The grout has been crumbling since day one. I let Johnel know and he sent someone to patch, but the whole thing needs to be redone as it continues to crumble every day. Also, Johnel told my husband to return a tile sealant that the Tile Shop sold us, so our matte white ceramic tile is riddled with gray stains from the gray grout we chose. The original man working on our bathroom was somewhat communicative and took his time. When the job appeared to be running behind schedule, Johnel sent in some other dude who did the crappy job on the floor, including chipping one of the tiles, which we had to ask to be replaced. Oh and that replacement tile, not level, so every time I step on it it makes a cracking sound and more grout breaks loose. To add to our displeasure, we chose a combination of white grout for the shower walls and gray grout for the shower floor. The way the grout was applied, the gray bleeds into the white at every joint, making it look dirty or moldy. The gray grout on the floor is inconsistent in color- turned whitish in spots as it cured. Also, the clear caulk they used on the shower wall joints over the white grout quickly turned yellow. I mean, what’s the point in laying tile so carefully and then rushing to grout and caulk it all together that it just looks sloppy? Also, when we noticed that we could see the old beige paint through the new white paint, we asked Johnel to send the painter back, to which he told us if it took more than one more coat, we’d be charged extra. This was white over beige, not dark brown, black, or navy. Just a regular light beige. I would think a painter could cover this with two good coats if it had been done right and with care. Fortunately, one more coat did the trick. After 9 months, our shower door started jamming. That’s when my husband informed me that the crew didn’t save any of the paperwork or warranty information – they threw everything away. How convenient. After 10 months, one of the new toilets is leaking water onto the floor. Was set below the tile resulting in a bad seal. Cost us $250 to have a plumber come out and reset. We also ended up paying someone $200 to remove the yellowed caulk and recaulk in white. I would not recommend these guys, unfortunately. We're pretty bummed with how things turned out and are having a hard time finding someone to just come replace the bathroom floor. Referrals welcome!"

"Florent came out quickly for an estimate. He quoted me a great price and then lowered it TWICE by finding different ways of approaching needed repairs. His crew was punctual, professional and wardworking. They made sample squiares of stain right on my floor and helped me pick a color. They started right when I needed them to and got the work done quickly. My floors look amazing."
