Chris and the crew was amazing. My walls were pretty bad condition. I picked out colors and they did everything else. They cleaned up every day which was helpful so I could use my bathroom. Project took 3 days. Other companies said a full week so nice to get it done faster. Defiantly looking forward to hiring A Stroke of Color to do our exterior this spring.

Chris and his crew did a great job. Their price was more than fair. Even though they were working on one of the hottest weeks of the year, they did not cut corners. I was impressed with Chris's attention to detail and eagerness to address every minor thing I noticed on the final walk-through before they were done. Communication was great. I would definitely hire them again. I was worried they would find more wood rot than we had on the initial quote, and indeed they did, but they charged so little for replacing those items that I was really glad they found each one. 6 months later the house still looks great.

We were very pleased with the entire job. The workers were punctual and courteous and worked in a very professional manner. After the job was completed our floors were refinished by another company, after which Chris Knight, owner of A Stroke Of Color sent an employee back to handle painting of floor base molding that needed to be repainted. On another occasion Chris sent over an employee to repair a crack in a wall and ceiling which opened up a few months after the job was completed. We appreciated his concern and willingness to make these repairs. The follow up repairs were done free of charge, which was greatly appreciated!

Chris and A Stroke of Color have it figured out. As the other reviews say, they showed up by 8:15AM with a huge crew and were able to get the entire job (rot repair/replacement, caulking, painting, trim paint) done by 5:30PM the same day!!
The crew were all very nice and easy to talk to. One of them even let my 2 year old help paint part of a door. Working with Chris was very easy. He's always a phone call/text away. The crew went above and beyond, even repairing boards with fine details.
My biggest surprise was that the 2 garage doors, front door (even a different color), and back door were all painted and were not extra cost. They ended up needing to replace a couple extra boards from the original quote, but since the crew had extra in their truck they through it in for free. My wife literally wrote a check for the exact amount listed in the quote.
I've already had them take measurements for some inside jobs in my house. I would use them again in a heartbeat and trust A Stroke of Color on any size project.

Chris was great to work with - from the initial bid through the completion of the project. The bid was thorough and descriptive, the entire crew was punctual, polite and professional, and we couldn't be more happy with the way it turned out. I would recommend A Stroke of Color to anyone looking for interior/exterior painting.

We are very pleased with the painting performed by Chris and his crew. The paint job is impeccable. They painted ceilings, walls, trim, and kitchen cabinets. Everyday before they left they put everything away and vacuumed the area they worked in. The house had some hidden tricks which were unexpected and Chris and his guys handled them efficiently and they all look great. They even installed some trim for us in a random corner that didn't have any. I would 100% recommend using this company.
Another great aspect was the communication. At the end of each day Chris called me with a brief update of what had been completed that day and what I could expect of the next. Each member of the paint team I spoke with was also friendly.

They showed up early actually, which surprised me because ive dealt with contractors in the past that just seemed to show up whenever it was convenient for them. Mr. Knight and his whole crew were great. They were polite and very funny. They seemed to like their jobs a lot. What I liked best about them was that they cleaned up so well after they were done it was actually cleaner then it was before they started. It looked amazing and Im getting more work done here in a few months and Im looking forward to them returning. Thank you guys.

Response from A Stroke of Color
"With our crew of professional english speaking painters we get a lot done because of our efficiency. The reason I let our customers know we all speak english is most contractors, even with Angies list, sub contract their work with non insured workers and a lot of times no one on the job speaks english for the customers. If Im off the job site, I want our customers to know that everyone on their job knows all about the job we are doing because of our morning walk through and safety meetings we have every day at every job. Thank you and hope you choose us. Christopher Knight (Owner)"

I couldn't of been happier at the service A stroke of color has done for me. They were punctual and they were efficient. They were extremely polite and actually very funny and pleasant to be around. They did an amazing job on my house. The advice that was given to me prior to this helped me a lot. The best part of all was how fast and efficient it was all done. It took two days and they even came back and did a follow up to see if everything was to my satisfaction. I just cant believe the way it looked before and the way it turned out. Awesome job thank you Mr. Knight and crew.

Chris and his team show up on time, well prepared, and do a great job, and they work fast.  At a very fair price.  Overall very happy with them and their work.  We've had them paint interior of our house (parts) and many rooms in the church we attend, also.  Excellent work both places, and they're a pleasure to work with.  Wish all home repair contractors were this good.

fine for the most part. Some of the men were fighting verbally before the project manager got there. they did a nice job but were in a hurry and left some tools on sight; tape; a gooey white substance in grass on our side yard; and killed a small patch of grass on our other side yard. The project manager took care of our complaints.

Bedroom #1 had already had a wallpaper border removed but did not have the glue taken off. They prepared the wall underneath the border for painting, filled all of the holes in the walls, painted woodwork and painted walls with two coats of paint.
Bedroom #2 had a border to be removed and the wall underneath prepared. All of the holes were filled. Woodwork and walls were painted with two coats of paint. The bathroom walls were wallpapered but had not been properly sized so wallpaper removal was difficult.  Once removed, the walls were repaired but I am currently waiting for some work to be done by another contractor on the vanity in that room before proceeding with painting the walls. The bathroom ceiling had water stains which were treated and painted. A long hallway also had water stains on the ceiling which were repaired and the ceiling painted. In the dining room and living room, nail holes were repaired and the woodwork and walls were painted with two coats of paint. I was not initially going to change the color of the crown molding, but after the walls were painted I decided the crown molding in both rooms needed to be painted a different color. The owner of A Stroke of Color was very accommodating and took care of the crown while his crew was still at my house and I did not have to schedule for later. He had enough painters at my house to do all of the work in two days which I appreciated. The paint was included in the total price.

Excellent - very professional company.  Their estimate was in the ball park with others, communication between the owner and me was excellent, the team was punctual, the prep work to the house was done well, and the painting was detailed.  Everything you would expect from a painting professional.

It was good. He was from this area. They were not the most expensive or the least expensive. It was a one-stop shop. He did the things that needed to be done before he started painting. That was the reason why we hired him. The other companies wanted $2,000 for different colors and then they wanted another $2,000 for repairs. He did not do that. They were fast, we have a three-story house and they had it done in less than two days. He has a very big crew. Each one comes in and has a certain job and they take all of the windows off and start on their job. The paint was high quality. He was very good with communication.
