We got his estimate...by far the MOST THOROUGH estimate we'd ever received for painting....and were impressed again. His estimate included all the carpentry work for the house and the pool deck work and still beat all his competitors with whom I spoke. (Not one of the competitors was willing/able to include the carpentry work, so that was going to be an add-on expense for us.) Shortly after we returned from a lengthy vacation, I called to give him the green light to start and he was at our house the following week. He arrived each morning around 8, and never left before 5. One day he worked until about 7:30 so he could finish up the carpentry and get to the scraping, etc. the next day. His carpentry work was spot-on and he did the best scraping and sanding job we've ever seen. (He put down cloths to contain the paint chips and cleaned up, immaculately.) His work included priming the entire house after scraping/sanding; two coats of paint on the house, window trim, fascia boards, soffits, ceilings on two large side-porches; painting of spindles on the front and one of the side porches; painting the lattice work on one of the side porches; painting the floors of all three porches; painting the kitchen door; and staining the wooden parts of the pool deck. We ended up needing a bit more carpentry work than we'd first discussed, but the additional cost for that was minimal. We couldn't be happier with his work and would encourage everyone to give him a chance to estimate your job. He's got an incredible work ethic, and is very easy to talk with about any concerns you might have. He even grinned every time my husband called him someone else's name. When I posted some pictures of our newly painted house on Facebook for our friends and family to see, I wrote on my post "Love our painter." He's FANTASTIC! As a side note: When I called the painter who "came in 2nd" to tell him we'd chosen a different painter, he asked if we were going with Masterpiece. When I said yes, he told me Gary does very good work. That made me feel even better about our choice.

The gentleman who came by was pleasant but kept repeating, kind of elaborately, what a hassle dealing with lead paint is. And the projects we mentioned that would not even involve the older parts of the house, that had lead paint on them, he seemed uninterested in doing. He told us how easy it would be to do ourselves or how difficult they would be in general to do. It was a frustrating meeting, where we were told at least five times about lead paint processes, even though we were asking for the cost to do these things with those guidelines in mind. He got back to us, telling us what it would cost IF there wasn't lead paint. We wanted to know what it would be to do the work, adhering to all of the correct rules about lead, and he wouldn't bother giving us a number. They just didn't want to bother with us. I wish he would not have even come out and wasted our time.

Alex is a true professional. His crew scraped and painted our 1806 center chimney colonial and the quality of work was incredible. He is prompt. His crew is top notch .
They do impeccable work. They are very tidy and good attention to detail. I have used Spiral House Painting several times and will continue to use their service.

We have a large house (built in 1926) with a family room addition (built in 1993) and a pool/pool deck. When Gary Clark (Owner of Masterpiece) came to estimate the job, I was immediately impressed by his listening skills! (I'd already met with three other painters and ruled two of them out...

Painting questions, answered by experts
Because satin paint has a sheen to it, it will highlight curves and contours. While that’s great for trim, it’s not so excellent for your repaired drywall that has a few small blemishes. In addition, satin paint will stick to your surface better if it’s primed. Sand and prime your surface before applying satin paint for best results.
The best ways to protect floors when painting depend in part on the type of paint you’re using. When you’re using latex paint, most people will choose a drop cloth consisting of canvas, plastic, or heavy paper to protect the floor. If you are using oil-based paint, you may want to select a waterproof plastic sheet that will keep any paint from seeping through.
There is no one correct order for painting a room, as it largely depends on personal preference and skill level. However, for non-professional painters, we recommend the following order: ceiling, walls, doors, windows, trim. This is because painting trim, windows, and doors can be more time-consuming and meticulous, and it's best to save them for last when you’ve already gained some confidence from painting the larger surfaces.
The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
The best time to tip a painter is after the job is complete. Alternatively, you can buy the painters lunch or coffee during the job.
