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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

It went great! They worked with us to create what we were thinking, putting in a ton of hours to research the right look and feel for the time period. When ever we needed them they were always available and the work turned out even better than we expected.

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.

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.

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!

The work went very well. They are amazingly creative, professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. We continue to receive complements on the work. They exceeded our expectations and even corrected some work done by a previous painter. I will definitely use them again in the future.

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.

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!

They are wonderful to have in your home. Always professional, polite, fun, and creative. They did a dining room for me that makes people drop their jaw when they see it. I'd never use anyone else.

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.
