I recently hired this company to paint almost the entire interior of my home and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results! They provided great customer service through all phases of the job. Mr. Bennett responded quickly to my request for a quote and provided me with a very reasonable price. John and Joe did a wonderful job and were polite and professional the entire time they were in my home. They did beautifully detailed work and communicated with me through the entire process. I've already had them back for a smaller interior project and they will be starting on an exterior painting project in the near future. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for good, quality painting at a great price. Hire this company - you won't regret it!

Overall great experience. From scheduling the estimate to the job completion, Tom was very responsive during the entire process. His crew did a very nice job getting my son's room taken care of for me and didn't leave me a huge mess to clean-up afterward. I had drywall repair from a leaky window, peeling wallpaper, and painting of walls and ceiling. Tom even called after the work was done to make sure it was done to my satisfaction. Would definitely consider for future interior painting work.

Tom and the other painters are very kind and professional. They did a great job and even worked on Thanksgiving because the weather was good. We had to wait several months for them to start because they had several jobs ahead of us but, it was worth the wait. We will definitely hire them again!

The project went well once it got started. It was a wet summer so the start date got delayed from what was planned in the spring. Once they started, things moved along well. There were a few additional repairs required that were accomplished for reasonable additional costs and without delaying the overall project/

I can't say enough good things about Tom & Ernest Painting! The entire crew did an extremely thorough job of painting the house and were very meticulous about the before and after results.

Once they started, they did an excellent job. I must be honest..They could have done a better job keeping me informed of delays and schedules (after being given a general timeline, I had to initiate every contact to find out when the work would get done, which can be very frustrating. This was because the rain kept pushing back starting date literally months and months.) Once they started, they did a tremendous job....and I would definitely hire them again if I need other painting done. Completely satisfied with the job.

I am very impressed! We hired Tom & Ernest Painting to paint the exterior of our house. Tom was extremely responsive and gave us a quote very quickly. We were kept informed of when they were able to paint and they worked around our schedule. I had to be out of town while they did most of the work, but my family kept me informed of the progress. The prep work was outstanding and, while painting, Tom and his crew were careful of the landscaping, kept my family informed of the progress, and cleaned up each evening. I was pleased to return home to a wonderfully painted house. It is obvious they pay attention to detail as it looks better than when it was new. I am planning on some interior painting down the road. I know who I will contact!
Response from Tom & Ernest Painting

Tom Bennett and his crew did an outstanding job. In addition to replacing some of our siding, they scraped all of the trim and caulked before painting the exterior. They were very professional and kept us informed. Their attention to detail and pride in their work were definite strengths. Even though we may have gotten the job done a little cheaper, we know that it is done right and will last for many years. Since Tim and his crew are a small organization, it took a while for him to get to us, but it was worth the wait. When we need to have our deck stained, we will definitely go to Tom and Ernest Painting.

The attention to detail was excellent, the workmanship quality the best I've seen. Having been in construction throughout my career, it was great to see a crew who really knew how to do good work, and maintained a positive attitude throughout the project. Planning to hire them for interior work soon.

Last year one of my neighbors across the street had his house painted, and I knew ours was due so I took more of an interest in watching how the painters attacked the job. To say the least of I so impressed how attention to detail they were, they hand brushed the whole house and then caulked every nail holding on the siding and all the seams, I talked my neighbor to get his take on the job they done and he said it was the third time they had painted a house of his and the interior of another. I then talked to the Tom and found out it was just him and two other that have worked for him over 10 years. I took his card and called him earlier this year he came out and gave me a quote I accepted it without talking to another painter for another price. Why? Well I thought the price he quoted was reasonable and number 2 I saw their work and I couldn't have been more impressed. One thing keep in mind, you are not going to get the exterior of your house painted the day after you accept the quote, my time frame was accept the quote in April and it was painted in September. Keep in mind they had other houses in line in front of me and this was the 4th wettest summer on record for Wichita so the weather delayed things as well. I couldn't be happier with the job they done . Once they were ready to paint our house they told me when they would be out when they through they would be done and they nailed it. Very friendly and down to earth, just the way I like it.

They came and provided an estimate the day after I called.  Once we agreed to have them do the work, they scheduled us in a reasonable amount of time.  They worked quickly and efficiently.  They cleaned up all the work each night.  They were careful not to damage any landscaping.  The work they did looks great.  We would definitely use them again.

I could not give a better reference than I am giving to Tom Bennett and his company Tom & Earnest Painting. I originally had estimate when painting season was over in Oct 2015.  When giving an estimate Tom found some areas of bad siding that needed to be repaired as well as a large piece of wood below one large bedroom window that was not installed properly and water was getting under neath it. It cost $1031 to repair which was done in November 2015 prior to scheduling painting the house in April 2016.  When Tom and his crew came back he found several other panels of paneling that had warped and would not pass any inspection. I have had siding replaced before due to golf ball damage but not all siding was replaced. The house is about 25 yrs old.  Tom could have easily painted over the bad siding and I not being experienced in house repair/construction would not have know the difference. It did cost and extra $2095 to repair more siding in addition to the repairs already done in November 2015 but as the words from his own mouth "If it was my house I would want to repair the damage and have it down right now instead of having to replace the siding later".   The siding really only took about 1 extra day to replace and one person was prepping the house by scrapping old paint off while others did the siding.  His employees were respectful of the property and worked very hard. They did a marvelous job and I was more impressed with the whole experience than with the two previous times I had my house painted.  I thought they prepped better and did two coats on the trim.  They do spray paint on the exterior (non trim) areas which I have been told by others who have painted my house that brushing and rolling paint on is better.  Personally I can't tell the difference and I will just see how long the paint lasts to know if there really is a difference or not.  It looks great now that's all I can say.  It was Tom's down to earth personality and easy going demeanor that was one of the most pleasant part of the experience but his honesty in showing me the damaged areas of my siding and fixing it right the 1st time was the best part of the experience.  I know now my house has all good siding and now has a fresh coat of paint.   I would use Tom and his company again in a heartbeat.

Neat, clean and quiet. Very professional job. Probably the finest interior painting I have seen. Looks like new construction. Joe and John were great. Always asked and confirmed what and where they painted. This was a large home and took a good deal of time to accomplish the job. We are having them back in the near future for some additional work.

Also had them paint the exterior of the house last summer. Extremely reasonably priced. Prompt and thorough. Beautiful job. Made our home look like a gem. Thanks so much Tom, Joe and John.

Better hire them. A class A business. ?
