Within a matter of days of my first call to Fine Painting, Greg came out to provide an estimate. He was punctual and very professional. Since this was my first time hiring painters, I cannot give much of an opinion on the estimate provided. I can say that it seemed to align fairly closely with the prices I've read about on Angie's list when researching the topic. Four days later, the workers arrived to paint. Overall, the job was done very well, but there were some very minor imperfections along the trim and window boundaries. (DISCLAIMER: I am a perfectionist, my wife claims I'm too picky/anal and was very happy with their work.) I know they did not use tape, but perhaps that is a standard practice among professionals. I also found one small area that they failed to paint near the floor by our cabinets (2" x 1"). Overall, I am satisfied and my wife is very satisfied with the final results. I would rate their work a 9 out of 10.
Description of Work: Painted kitchen and repaired minor cracks.

Their bid was quickly scheduled and turned around via email. Dave answered questions in a timely fashion. He also let me know in advance that he was going to be at the Patio Show, and might be a little hard to reach - very thoughtful on his part during the bidding process. It was important to us how companies approached the Tudor boards. Some proposed to paint the edges and face different colors - largely, my impression, based on what was easiest for the painters, vs. what looks best. If companies "cut corners" on the Tudor boards...it left doubts in our mind about their approach to quality. Fine Painting proposed to "do this right" and have the edge and face of the Tudor boards the same color. This reflects a focus on the customer/quality, and that was an important factor for us. I did select another company based on cost & paint quality -- Fine was $100 more, and proposed a mid-grade paint (Sherwin-Williams A-100) instead of SW Super Paint. But they were a close 2nd.
Description of Work: My project was to paint the exterior of our Tudor style house - a split-level three story house with partial brick. The paint scheme is two-tone -- one color for the Tudor boards and trim, and a second color for the backboard. There was also a third color for the front door. We also wanted to paint the gutters and downspouts. All companies contacted quoted powerwashing and touch-up, significant caulking given no original caulk between boards and backboard, and two coats of exterior paint.

They did all that I asked them to do aside from the edges of the door frames. I was expecting to see the sides of the doorframes painted and they were not. I had to call them back out to do that. Upon painting the hinges of the front door and the door going to the garage, grease had come out and drained down the doors. I didn't know they would paint the hinges and they didn't ask me. When David Fine came out and I mentioned that the door frame sides had not been painted, he did two, maybe three, but didn't finish all of them and he left. I'm not likely to ever call them or recommend them to anybody. I don't have a whole lot of room to store other furniture in, however, our coffee table has a set-in glass top. I had a covering over this table and they put an extra sheet over the top of it...and now there is a scratch in the glass - it wasn't there before.
Description of Work: I hired them to paint the interior of our foyer, all ceilings and trim work.

THIS REPORT IS FULL OF MISTAKES. I'M NOT SURPRISED, SINCE WE DID THE JOB OVER A YEAR AGO. THIS LADY WAS NOT PREPARED WHEN WE GOT THERE, AND EVEN HAD MY GUYS DO ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WAS NOT EVEN ON THE QUOTE. SHE DID CALL LATER AND WANTED THE EDGES OF THE DOOR FRAMES PAINTED AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED. I PERSONALLY WENT OUT TO DO WHAT SHE ASKED FOR, AND SHE WAS THERE AND SHOWED ME WHAT SHE WANTED DONE. THE EDGES WERE ALREADY PAINTED, BUT THE EDGES WERE NOT AS SMOOTH AS THE FACE OF THE DOOR FRAMES. THIS IS A SMALL TRACT HOME THAT PROBABLY COST $100,000.00 AT BEST. THE ORIGINAL PAINT JOB AND TYPE OF TRIM ARE NOT THE BEST ON THE MARKET. AS FAR AS HER STATEMENT THAT WE PAINTED SOME OF THE HINGES, SHE MUST NOT HAVE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DOOR AND GARAGE DOOR HINGES WERE PAINTED WHEN THE HOUSE WAS BUILT. THESE DOORS ARE COMMONLY SPRAY-PAINTED DURING CONSTRUCTION. THE FACT THAT THEY HAD OIL ON THEM SHOWS THAT THE PAINT WAS OLD. SINCE WE HAND-PAINTED EVERYTHING, IT DIDN'T TAKE A EXPERT TO NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE FINISH. ALSO, THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE SCRATCHED HER TABLE. ALL WE DID WAS COVER IT WITH A 1-MIL THICK PLASTIC TARP, WHICH IS NO THICKER THAN THE PLASTIC USED BY OUR PAPER BOY TO COVER THE MORNING PAPER. AS I STATED EARLIER, THIS JOB WAS DONE OVER A YEAR AGO. SHE IS BADLY MISTAKEN ABOUT THIS ENTIRE REPORT. DAVID K. FINE

We usually do our own painting but decided to splurge a little and have a professional do it this time. They did a great job from start to finish in much less time than it would have taken us to do the job! David Fine is easy to work and communicate with. He was able to do our job a week earlier than scheduled which we appreciated. If we are in a position to hire painters again, I would definitely call Fine Painting.
Description of Work: They painted a master bedroom and repaired plaster in the kitchen as well as repainted the damaged areas.

We scheduled this contractor over a week prior to the agreed upon date. The job was to be begin at 8:00am. The contractor sent us an e-mail at 3:30 pm in the afternoon before the appointment canceling our appointment citing "unforeseen problems." Since this was an inside the home job which required my presence, I had scheduled my work schedule around this. I needlessly lost a half day of work due to the late cancellation.

WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR LONG RECORD OF SERVICE FOR MEMBERS OF ANGIE'S LIST. UNFORTUNATELY, AS MOST CUSTOMERS UNDERSTAND, PROBLEMS AND/OR CIRCUMSTANCES CAN COME UP ON RARE OCCASIONS THAT CAN CAUSE SCHEDULING PROBLEMS. WE APPRECIATE THAT MOST MEMBERS OF ANGIE'S LIST TREAT CONTRACTORS WITH UNDERSTANDING, RESPECT AND DIGNITY. WHEN WE CONTACTED THIS INDIVIDUAL, (THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE TO COME TO HIS HOME) HE MADE THE COMMENT: "HOW WILL I KNOW THAT SOME OTHER UNFORESEEN PROBLEM WON'T COME UP AGAIN?" HE SAID THAT WE E-MAILED HIM AT 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT, BUT THEN SAID THAT HE TOOK OFF A HALF DAY OF WORK. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL? ALL SAID AND DONE, I'M GLAD THAT WE DIDN'T WORK FOR THIS PERSON. SINCERELY, DAVID K. FINE

Their service was great. Their quote was prompt and their work was exceptional.
Description of Work: They painted our master bedroom, bath and two other upstairs bedrooms.
We had used this company last year to repaint the exterior of our home (very pleased). Very prompt / professional in the estimate with much better recommendations on paint and repairs than two other estimates. Estimates were written. Team arrived as scheduled and stayed on the job until completed (five days). Cleaned up areas every day. Covered all furniture. No loud blasting radio. Very prompt and professional painters. Supervisor came in several times over the course of the work. Price was higher than estimate because we added some work we discovered during the painting.
Description of Work: Repaired, replaced, repainted crown molding in living/dining room and hallway/entryway. Repaired one window casing. Repaired several ceiling problems, repainted ceilings in above areas, repainted all baseboards/toe molding in above areas plus kitchen. Repaired/repainted all window/door casing in above areas, plus kitchen. Repainted all walls in living/dining room and hallway/entryway.

Job 1: My house is 20 years old. They took down wallpaper and prepared the walls to paint. They made my crown molding look new and beautiful. They spent time on their craft instead of just hurrying to get the job done. They care about doing an A+. They went back to paint a ceiling twice, cleaned up after the job, and were professional! There is nothing to worry about when they are doing a job for you. They are honest and up front with the cost. Job 2: They spent 4 days painting my land and taking down wall paper in my kitchen. They did an A+ job.
Description of Work: Job 1: They stripped wallpaper for me. Then they painted three rooms, baseboards, and ceilings.($2100.) Job 2: Took down wallpaper, repaired walls, primed walls, caulked, painted trim/walls.($0.)

I contracted them in email, prompt reply to schedule estimate. After estimate, received, they sent a very knowledgeable painter to do the work as agreed on. Excellent job & clean up. Price may be a bit higher than some of the painters would charge.
We are very pleased with the work. The whole job was done in only 1.5 days, and it looks really nice. All the holes are well-patched and invisible, and the paint looks great.
Description of Work: Patched and painted 2 hallways, 2 stairwells, kitchen, and family room. Removed wallpaper, patched walls, and painted one bedroom.

I picked this company because they had a high rating. My call was answered immediately and a time for an estimate was set for the following week. During the estimate, Fine Paint answered all of my questions and gave an explanation of the work to be performed and the cost for each element (i.e. wallpaper removal, ceiling paint etc). The crew arrived in a timely manner, all employees were very polite and professional even when I changed my colors in the middle of the project. The project was finished when promised. This is a great company. I am using them to paint the exterior of my home this summer. They did a great job, the walls look amazing.

We called Dave Fine and left a message on Monday. Tuesday he called and set a time to come over to give us a quote. Gave us a quote on the spot and followed up with an email. The painter came over on Saturday and was on time. He did a very thorough job and cleaned up completely before he left.
Description of Work: Painted the ceiling (white) and the family room (blue)and patched as needed. He had to paper off the ceiling fan and fluorescent lights in kitchen. Hung plastic over cabinets and appliances. He also placed plastic over the entrance from the rest of the house to contain fumes and over-spray.

Great experience. Dave Fine showed up on time for the estimate walk-through and then delivered the estimate the same day. Mike did a fantastic job with the painting. The quality of the work, the professionalism of the workers, and the friendliness of the staff have been outstanding. I'll be hiring them again to do more painting inside and outside my house.

There were just so many things wrong that we had to point out over and over again. We had to contact them several times to get them to come back out. We ended up giving the general manager a list of the things that were wrong. It was just a bad experience. I had to tell the general manager how to solve one of the problems they had. It took too many weeks for a house to be painted with 1/2 brick and 1/2 siding.

I have used Fine before and when this happened I thought of them right away. They did a great job as usual. The repair was into a corner with a motion detector and plant shelf, very difficult, but it looks fantastic. Every attention to detail was as done, as well as clean up. Use Fine if you want a quality job.
Description of Work: Fine came in to repair a 4x10 foot section of drywall that had to be removed do to a leak. The drywall was installed, taped, bedded, sanded, and painted. The trim had to be reinstalled. Half the room was repainted, and the entire kitchen.

We had some problems with the paint, it is a very old house with wood siding, and after the paint job, some of the new paint peeled off. I called to have them come back and fix it and they were on it immediately, they came right out and took care of everything. I was very impressed. The problems were caused by the age of the wood, not by their quality of work. They were very professional, responsive, timely, and did a great job.

Dave came out and provided a quote, and we arranged for painting the following week. The workers arrived promptly and began work immediately. They were quick and efficient, and the painting work they did was beautiful. I was working on the second floor while they painted, and could hear the workers as they worked. Most of the conversation was innocent enough, but at one point a worker harassed another in what I'd consider an unprofessional manner. The project itself was executed with great care, however. They cleaned up completely, and other than the previously mentioned comments, the team was highly professional. I am extremely happy with the work they've done and would absolutely hire them again.

Fine Painting came in and repaired my walls, fixed the other flaws, and painted my walls and ceiling. They did an excellent job! The workers arrived on time, did an excellent job, and even stayed a couple of hours later just so I could have my family room back to normal before the Thanksgiving holiday. My husband and I were very impressed and would certainly have them back to our home for future repair and paint jobs.
Description of Work: I had removed wallpaper from my family room and in the process, destroyed my drywall. I needed the walls repaired before they could be painted. I also had some other flaws in the wall that needed repairing.
