They were excellent. They worked with us to meet our needs and time schedule.

Hands on Painters cannot be trusted to do interior work that involves spraying--they will not properly control the spray dust--and they have written into their contract that the dust is your problem, not theirs. Also, we had to redo some of their work because they did not prep properly
Response from Hands On Painters Inc
"Thank you for your review. We do take our spray technique very seriously and understand there can be over spray and additional dust/“float” (dust that gets stirred up in the air and lands over the next 24-48 hours) which is why our estimates do indicate that we are not responsible for additional dust beyond what we can see (and do clean up) prior to wrapping up. Our project manager did complete additional cleaning in areas that were affected. We offered to come back and touch up any issue that you had with the painting however, you declined.

The 2 man crew from HOP did a great job. From start to finish took about 4 days. David built my window trim and did a base coat of paint on the first day, next Rich built my closet header and began installing my outlets and TV mount. When the new drywall was dry, he installed my closet doors. He took the time to remove the old floor track and readjusted my carpet to it looked more attractive. He also helped us fix another door that didn't close properly. He really is a door expert, so if you are having trouble with a door opening or closing, Rich is your guy. When he wrapped up, David returned and painted all the new construction, painted my ceiling and the trim. He went the extra mile to paint my bedroom door which was a slightly different color than the closet. He also painted the inside of the newly installed header. His attention to detail was really appreciated. These guys were prompt, professional and very good at their jobs. Also friendly and went out of their way to make us happy. I would hire them again in a heart beat!!

Very professional job. Have had HOP do many paint jobs for us in the past. Have recommended to several friends. Reasonable price, quality work. Have hired them to do small molding and trim work. Very nicely done.

I am so pleased with the excellent results of my painting project provided by Hands On Painters. The entire team at Hands On Painters is courteous, professional, and responsive. Alex, project scheduler, was able to accommodate a very tight time table to complete the entire interior and exterior painting project for my house. Gale, office manager, always kept me informed on progress and answered all my questions as I was not able to be present on site. The painting team led by Naun arrived at my house on time and worked steadily and efficiently. The workmanship and care the painters have shown in protecting all the services as they painted is exemplary. I am receiving so many compliments on the colors and how expertly they were applied. My project was completed beautifully and in record time! I highly recommend Hands On Painters for any of your painting project needs. Their responsiveness, timeliness, and attention to detail in workmanship will give you the confidence in a company that is reliable, trustworthy, and true to its mission of producing a high quality service.

I was very impressed and pleased with the entire experience. Our walls were opened to replace a watermain pipe shortly after DPW repaired a watermain break outside our house. I emailed pictures of the holes to get a general idea of the cost. Brandon, my project manager came out to inspect in person. He said the amount of work required is more than the 16 hour/$800 coupon covered. I was ok with that because there were holes on the wall and ceiling. We also needed an access panel added to turn on/off the outside waterline to our garden hose. Gale, the office manager emailed the total-cost contract. I accepted and mailed signed contract and check for 1/3 the total. After my check was received Gale called to set up a 2-day repair date. I asked if the project could be completed in time for Thanksgiving because my mom is elderly and sickly. Gale was very compassionate and went out of her way to ensure it was completed in time. The two guys who did the work were friendly, professional and on time both days. The work was so well done I had to tell my family on Thanksgiving that the holes were fixed. They were jaw-dropping amazed at the work and the matching paint, as if the holes never happened.

don't know they collected a deposit but have not performed work Ordered the job 6 weeks ago. Can't get them to commit to a start date. Office does respond to emails within a day in most cases but only when I initiate contact. To be fair Hands on Painters was the only company of the 3 that even bothered to inquire
Response from Hands On Painters Inc
"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thanks for the comments. Hands On Painters Inc has been working hard to get painters to jobs. Our operations has been hit very hard by COVID19 issues. From off site office communications, illness, elderly care, access to supplies, to daycare for employees with schools not being open...Luckily we are coming around and our new normal is feeling better every day !... I know 6 weeks is a long time to wait on having your shed painted. Hope you are safe and healthy . Jonathan Zawacki owner"

Very well! This was the third time I hired Hands on Painters, and as before, I was not disappointed. The estimator, Derrick, came on time as scheduled and listened to what I wanted done. He also gave a few suggestions that, in the end, were really good suggestions. His estimate was accurate with the final cost and very fair. He had also guessed it would take 2-3 days to complete the job and that is what it took. Each day, the three painters came on time and started working right away. The most important thing – the rooms they painted (the living and dining rooms, two other rooms’ ceilings, as well as outside parts of the house) looked great! Professional, as you would hope, and they did a nice job cleaning up when they were done. I would definitely hire Hands on Painters again and I highly recommend them.

Very well. New drywall needed to be put into the ceiling of one bedroom and that was handled very competently. The one difficulty was in scheduling the carpentry needed, particularly concerning the windows. That should have been done first to prevent paint chipping off later from the repainted woodwork.
Response from Hands On Painters Inc
"Thanks for the positive comments! Scheduling can be a challenge, went possible, we always try to schedule painting last. Your patience is always appreciated."

This the second time I’ve used Hands on Painters for work on my townhouse. We had to wait for Mother Nature to cooperate with the weather since it was exterior but it was worth it. Once again I’m pleased with the quality of work that Jonathan and his entire staff provide. You can always contact them with questions and they are great to work with. The quality is worth the value.
