Very professional, clean, fantastic paint job....Job well done, Fred!!
Description of Work: Fred came for an estimate and started work the next day. He and his crew were punctual, efficient and took great care in their work. This job included painting a family room/kitchen, living room/dining room, foyer stairwell and upstairs hallway including windows, trim, molding and doors. Fred was meticulous in his work, including making some repairs to damaged walls/door. I was so pleased with the finished product!! I will definitely use Fred again for indoor and/our exterior painting projects.

Fred came out the same day I called to give us an estimate, and even worked with us to stay within our budget, which we really appreciated. He was able to come complete the work only a few days after, and called the day before to let us know when he would arrive. He was very prompt and professional, and did a great job. He removed the vents, light switches, and banister and put them all back up before he left. He even fixed a blemish in the drywall that we could not get to due to the height. He also ran to home depot for more paint to finish the job. He did great work and we are extremely pleased! I definitely recommend Fred, and we will be using him again if we ever need painting done in the future. Thanks! :)
Description of Work: We moved in last fall and painted all of our walls, with the exception of the stairwell, due to the high ceilings and our lack of a ladder adequate for the job. Fred painted the stairwell for us to match the den upstairs.

Fred was very prompt in returning my initial inquiry phone call. Came out the next eve for estimate and performed the work the day after that. Fred is very detailed and professional. His work is excellent and he left the place cleaner than when he arrived. I will call Fred the next time I have a painting job.

They did a great job! They painted it just the way we wanted. They also painted all of the trim and fixed a few cracks in the ceiling and painted them. Fred also went out of his way to pick up an extra gallon of paint to finish the job. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great job done for a very fair price.

Everything was fine until the end. I asked them to paint both sides of the back door and the worker said "You're trying to get all of the work out of us you can." I was very disappointed that they made that comment because they didn't paint either side of the front work. They did do good work and I would rate them highly in every category except professionalism. I had three bids and his was the lowest. I would most likely use them again if needed.

They were excellent and they were easy to work with. He is a nice man to do business with, his employees are well mannered and they kept everything clean. When you are painting like that, it is impossible not to get something on the ground but it was minimal and they didn't paint the shrubbery like other painting contractors have done. I'd use them again for inside or outside.
Description of Work: Fred's Painting Service did the whole exterior of the house. They repaired and painted some shutters and they painted the trim. They are one of the few painting services that will take down the downspouts, paint behind them, and then put them back up.

We can not say enough good things about Fred and his crew. They scraped and painted the outside of our house and the screened in porch. We have always had problems with one side of the house. Fred worked so h****** it. He is a very, very nice man and the crew were hard workers. We will use them again.

Outstanding. Thank you Angie's List. I would place this firm at the top of your recommendations. Very neat and thorough. No horse play but easy to communicate with. I highly recommend. Keep on doing what you are doing now.
Description of Work: Painting of the exterior of our 3,800 sq ft house, our exterior is all cedar planking, multi-level, 3 floors in the back requiring 40' long ladders. We required they used Behr Ultra paint with a different color trim and a different color accent paint. Fred works with a crew of 4 doing some painting himself and closely supervising his skilled painters. They did an outstanding job and were very neat.

He was supposed to come over on a Friday to paint the fence before we had a party. He didn't show up. We called him and he said he couldn't come, he had other jobs ahead of us. This wasn't what we originally agreed upon. We said that Monday wouldn't work, we wanted it done before the party. I cancelled the job. I felt like he lied to us and didn't keep his word about what time he could perform the work.
Description of Work: He gave us an estimate and scheduled work. He was supposed to paint the fencing of our backyard behind the hot tub.

WE DID NOT LIE TO THIS CLIENT, WHEN WE RESCHEDULED, SHE WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN I WAS. WE WERE NOT TOLD THAT SHE WANTED THE WORK DONE DUE TO ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS CLIENT WAS DISSATISFIED, HOWEVER, WE HAD OTHER JOBS SCHEDULED PRIOR TO HER CALLING FOR AN ESTIMATE AND SHE WAS TOLD THIS AT THE TIME OF HER ORIGINAL CALL. I FELT HER REPORT WAS UNFAIR BECAUSE WE WERE HONEST WITH HER FROM THE BEGINNING. FRED'S PAINTING SERVICE.

It was a wonderful experience. They were very responsible and careful. They were nice and listened to what I wanted. I would have them again, and next time for exterior painting. They were very reasonable, honest & understood what I wanted. Consider them, they are very good. Keep doing a good job.
