I am very happy with everything they did. I think the work they did in this house is over the top fabulous! Chris and Jon are great to work with and got everything done on schedule.
Description of Work: I have just recently moved and hired Blice-Edwards to do some rooms in new home. They have done work for me in my last two homes. They did art work on the ceiling of several rooms, a floor design on my screened in porch, powder room walls and ceiling and a beautiful new technique in my dining room.

We met with Chris and John first at our home where they looked over the project and then again at their studion to review their design ideas. The process from start to finish was GREAT! From the initial meeting to the completion of the project Chris and John were a pleasure to work with. They were professional but at the same time very friendly and easy to work with. When we wanted to make some changes to the original proposal.....No Problem! John came out to our home again and met with us to review the color changes. When John and his assistant Eric were in our home they were neat, courteous and prompt. I would HIGHLY recommend them! We are already thinking about what our next project might be with Blice Edwards!
Description of Work: We contacted Blice Edwards based on their reviews on Angies List. The project involved painting an old white TV cabinet and making it look like a piece of old world furniture. The piece looks AMAZING!

Chris and John are great to work with and very talented artists. They had done work for us in our previous home and it turned out beautifully. When we purchased this home and decided to make extensive changes we knew we wanted Blice-Edwards to do some custom finishes on the interior. They did several different types of wall finishes and a beautiful ceiling mural. We are absolutely thrilled with the results. They do such beautiful work and are much more than faux painters. We truly enjoyed working with them and without doubt will hire them for future projects.
Description of Work: We renovated our home and Blice-Edwards did custom wall finishes in our great room, master bedroom, master bath, half bath and did a decorative mural on the ceiling. They also did a custom finish on two nightstands.

Everything went smoothly...they are neat and professional...they really take pride in what they do.
Description of Work: We had them paint a built in cabinet and shelving...they also had to do some repair work on the decorative trim of this unit. The finished product looked beautiful. They took a drab colored built in shelving unit and made it pop with a vibrant blue color( which they helped me choose) that inhanced the other room colors perfectly. The rubbed looked to the unit and the pretty glass nobs they added finished off the look. We are very pleased with the outcome of this project.... it made a big difference to an area of the room that before was really bland! These guys are really good with color!

They quoted us and brought over samples of what the room would look like. They also took the time to explain everything and confirmed our ideas before they started. The project started Monday and they thought they would finish Thursday but ended up completing the project on Wednesday, a day early. The finished product was better than what we expected. My daughter was extremely excited!
Description of Work: They painted a mural in my daughter's room. They are so creative and professional. Once again, extremely happy with their work and will continue to use them for other projects!

These guys are true artist and very professional...it is always a pleasure working with them on a project.
Description of Work: This is the 3rd time we have had work done by Chris, Jon and Eric. The 1st time we hired them was 9 years ago to paint a 4 wall Mural in our daughter's nursey. It turned out absolutely fabulous...a whimsical garden scene with oversized flowers and picket fences which was able to grow with her...the room just makes you feel happy when you enter it. The 2nd time we used them was for a large retractible canvas that would cover our flat screen TV when it is not in use. It is a beautiful sophisticated painting of a scene from our backyard of Eagle Creek lake and our koi ponds, done in a VanGo type brush stroke. This latest time they truly out did themselves with a really cool underwater ocean scene for a child's bedroom. The sea creatures are so realistic, and the added swarkoski crystals to the coral and sand gives the room a suttle wow factor.

I contacted Blice Edwards with the goal of having horrid wallpaper stripped in my powder room and then having the walls lime washed because I wanted a unique, old world look. I set up an appointment with Chris to come out to the house. After we talked about the and quot;lookand quot; that I was hoping to obtain, he suggested a venetian plaster. He explained the process and even came back later that day to show me samples. I was totally impressed not only with the idea, but with his extra effort to return to my home the same day. On November 1, Chris and Joey arrived early and spent the day stripping the paper, cleaning the walls and applying the base coat. They were very professional, worked hard and did a great clean-up job. After the walls dried for a couple of days, Jon and Eric arrived early and began the process of applying the plaster. They too were very professional and hard working. The finished room is exactly the and quot;lookand quot; I was seeking. I absolutely love the wall technique, the color and warmth of the room. I definitely recommend them and I will keep them in mind for future projects.
Description of Work: Stripped wallpaper, cleaned walls, applied base coat, venetian plaster and gloss.

It was awesome. They were easy to work with and will do whatever you ask them to do. They always have suggestions. We had gone out for Easter when they did it. It was amazing.
Description of Work: Blice Edwards decorated a whole wall in my kitchen. It was the backsplash on my countertop and a whole white bay wall. They built it out of plaster and then textured it.

This is the fourth time we have used Blice Edwards. We always call them for any artistic needs in our home. Everything turned out great!
Description of Work: We needed something different for one wall in our kitchen. They presented several different ideas and samples. We decided on a plaster/cement finish that came out spectacular. They were professional, on time, and completed the project as promised.

Originally Jon and Chris decided not to try to tackle our problem because they weren't sure they would be able to cover up the poor paint job that had been applied to our brick house with a lime wash. They weren't familiar with the product. After having thought about it over the winter they contacted us to tell us that they had come up with a solution that they thought would work. Instead of trying to use white paint to blend in with the lime wash, they mixed colors together to replicate the red in our bricks to cover the white in areas where there was too much of it.. They were able to give our brick house a much more realistic old world look. They don't usually do exteriors, but did this as a huge favor for us because they couldn't stand to see our beautiful house look the way it did. We will be forever grateful.
Description of Work: Blice Edwards used their decorative artists skills to paint over a poorly done job of lime washing on my brick house.

It went fabulously, and they were great. They had done some decorative painting for us at our other house, and this time we wanted something designed, so they designed it and we went with them. Our designer did not know what he wanted, and I told them that I wanted something like a sketch. He painted and brought it. They actually do it in their studio on canvas and bring it in and install it. It was perfect! Our decorator wanted the color changed on the flowers, and they actually came back and re-did the color on the flowers. It was pretty easy to work with them because they were very accommodating, and we are happy with the work they did for us. I would say that their price is good, and I don’t think they are outrageous.
Description of Work: We used Blice Edwards twice. The last time we used them was in June 2008 and they did some interior painting and painted a mural. They also put in our lower level play area.

Can't say enough positive things! They came up with the concept of painting large "groovy" flowers on the walls of my daughter's bedroom and bathroom. They incorporated mirrors as the center of the flowers. They actually met with my daughter to get an idea of what she liked and incorporated her ideas, too. They were very enthusiastic and the results pleased everyone in the family!

I have used them in the past. They did excellent work and were able to show me options and pictures of past work. We wanted a masculine feel in the bath and they were able to accomplish that. John was very personable, neat, and he cleaned up after he was finished with the work. Throughout the process, he was professional and communicated through each stage to make sure we were on the same wave length.

I first met them several years ago when I was re-doing my home. They came in and made several suggestions, completed the job ahead of schedule and the results were amazing. I have had 2 additional homes done by them, referred them to several other people and continue to be so impressed with the work they do.
Description of Work: Blice Edwards has done 3 homes for me in the past few years. I would never even consider using someone else. They are professional, creative and most of all amazingly talented. They have always far exceeded my expectations. Cannot say enough about them!

After the project is done you will hate to see them go. They are the finest, most ethical, and hilarious guys and you will meet. It was a pleasant experience that resuted in a unique and one-of-a-kind mural on my ceiling!
Description of Work: Christopher and Jon, are professionally, personally, and especially artistically two of the best. Truly. They painted a mural on my dining room ceiling that is both eloquent and beautiful. They work with you closely to capture exactly what your vision is and then they take it to another dimension. I love it! It makes us feel like we are in Italy. They are working on my daughters room right now and I can't wait to see the finished product. It only takes one artistic mural to realize the next time they come to do another project; you only have to give them a few descriptive words and step aside. They know more of what you want than you yourself. They have an abundance of awesome creativity. I love, love, love their work.

ESTIMATED THAT THE JOB WOULD TAKE 10.5 DAYS TO BE COMPLETED. THEY WERE FINISHED IN 4 DAYS AND WANTED TO BE PAID FOR THE ESTIMATED 10.5 DAYS. CHARGED DAILY RATE OF 1200.00 BASED ON ESTIMATE OF EACH PROJECT. THEIR WORK WAS GOOD, THOUGH THEY DID NOT SHOW UP TO WORK UNTIL 9:30 OR 10 AND LEFT BY 4:30.(NOT INCLUDING LUNCH AND OTHER BREAKS). WE PAID THEM FOR THE 4 DAYS THEY WORKED. THE HOUSE WAS A MESS FROM THEIR SANDING AND THEY MADE NO EFFORT TO CONTAIN THE MESS. THE WORK COMPLETED WAS GOOD, BUT I FELT THE PRICING WAS PURE THIEVERY.
