Overall a very positive experience on a sizable job. The crew worked quickly and completed the job on time. Communication throughout was good and everyone personable and professional.

Smart Coats is an exceptional company that offers a full range of services from repairs to interior and exterior home structures, to room painting and other projects. Carter Roman was the lead on my home projects and has been in the past. I'm a returning customer because of Carter's professionalism and his attention to detail with his crew, great communication with me on all aspects of improvements including timelines and cost. There were no cost overruns, and the job was delivered on time. It looks fantastic. His crew works diligently and never cuts corners. The cleanup is fastidious. You'd never know they were there except that the job they did looks amazing. I strongly recommend this company

Smart coats installed a half bath for us. The carpenters we are very nice but there were some problems with the project: - some fixtures were breaking the drywall and had to get reinstalled weeks after the project finished - the electrician was lousy. He essentially got rid of our external light switch. We now have step outdoors to turn on the deck lights. He also added two switches for the same hall right next to each other - the project took a whole month longer than promised - the vent fan vented to the attic and now we have mold issues.

You will not find better customer service than Smart Coats. We had a really difficult project on a room and ceiling renovation and they worked incredibly hard to make sure that the job was done correctly and that we were happy. We have used Smart Coats before for painting (which was terrific)- and didn't realize that they did such great construction as well. You will not find another company that will strive to make sure their customers are pleased- I'd definitely hire them again!

For what it’s worth Marcio and his crew where fantastic. They worked very hard and were quite meticulous. When they did the touch up I firmly believe they fixed things I might never have noticed. I was totally astounded when they were cleaning up and swept the dirt near the house to get paint chips!. Marcio is really smart, knows what he is doing and firmly believes (as I do) that the truly only way to do something is the right way and not a short cut.

I was not only impressed by the quality of the paint job, but also by the professional manner of the Smart Coats crew. The work was done in a timely manner and workers were well trained and courteous. They were super meticulous and took pride in doing a top-notch painting job. My house under went a transformation from being an eye-sore to being "a jewell in the crown" of the neighborhood. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to my friends and family. Thanks Ed, for a job well done.

I hired them...customer service was great the quality of work was poor...they had to keep fixing the same problem....the paint was discoloured and streaked on all three porches and paint was on my vinyl...they insisted the problem was with the paint and didn't understand it...they did not pay attention to detail....
Response from Smart Coats, Inc.
"We are very sorry that your experience with our company was unsatisfactory. We strive to deliver high quality craftsmanship on every project. Unfortunately re-painting is an imperfect process and not all problems can be solved. We did our very best to repeatedly troubleshoot the issues experienced on your project. I personally attempted time and again to remedy the situation, going above and beyond both the scope of work and the proposal cost to satisfy you. If you feel there are any additional lengths to which we could have gone in order to make things right, please call the office and ask to speak with me directly. Thank you."

The Smart Coats crew did a great job not only painting the outside of the house and the back porch but also repairing all damaged wooden window and door frames. The quality of the work was excellent and the price was very reasonable.

We were quite satisfied with the quote process and the quality of the work done. The crew was very friendly and willing to respond to any requests. Clean up was very good. There was a little disconnect between the quoted job and what the crew knew about it to begin with but we were able to easily get that straightened out. I would recommend general oversight as the job progresses, but that's the same as I would recommend for any contractor's work.

Service also included replacement of any rotted wood trim before painting. All workers involved were very professional and courteous. Job of painting entire house/trim was completed in two days. Adair and everyone else were a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend them highly.

The Smart Coats crew was very polite, thoughtful and thorough. Prepping was first class, painting carefully done and cleanup meticulous. The job ended with an inspection and, after a few minor touchups, was complete. Happily, the price was quite reasonable.

they came, cleaned, stripped, painted and washed 90+ windows/frames. ed was in constant contact, i always knew what was going on. the finished product was great. there were a couple of weird glitches, we are a commercial site, and occasionally they would set up in front of a door without warning me so i could warn staff or there would be a rope hanging in a walkway, but they were quick to move, very nice, and continuously working. i will be calling them again.

It was a ok project. In terms of money, it is a decent project. Main painting are well done, but some carpentry works costed me quite high. I would hire them to my painting only next time.

SC was one of 3 quotes I received; they had the best understanding of what we were trying to accomplish. They did the work as scheduled, quickly and efficiently. The project manager, Carter, was fantastic. Very responsive to our modifications, and spot on. I would highly recommend them.
