"Emerson Paints: All Sales, No Service If you’re considering Emerson Paints, let me save you the trouble: don’t. I responded to one of their Instagram ads and was immediately bombarded with phone calls—relentlessly. Once I was ready, I called back and scheduled a free estimate. The sales rep they sent was personable, knowledgeable, and assured me he’d been with the company for ten years. That part actually felt promising. He gave us three tiers of service, and my husband and I chose the middle option. I even went to the paint store the next morning to pick out my color. I texted him with my selection and… crickets. Days passed. I followed up. He apologized and promised to get back to me. He didn’t. Eventually, I called the office directly, only to find out we weren’t even on the schedule. That’s when the owner stepped in—sounding every bit the overpromising, fast-talking salesman you hope never to deal with. He assured me we’d be fit in the following week and that he was “putting his very best guy on it.” Then the day arrived… and a truck pulled up with a completely different company name and logo on it. Turns out, Emerson subcontracted the work without telling me. Not even a mention. Total bait and switch. To make matters worse, the sales rep had promised I wouldn’t have to prep anything in my kitchen. But when I asked the owner, I was suddenly responsible for clearing countertops and emptying the front of all my cabinets. My kitchen was a disaster zone for a week—all based on bad information. Then came the most unbelievable part: on day two of the project, an Emerson employee came to "check on things"—and let himself into my home. No knock. No doorbell. No hello. Just strolled right in like it was his place. I was stunned. The one saving grace? The subcontracted crew was excellent. They were professional, efficient, and lovely to work with. I would’ve happily hired them directly—for a likely much lower price—if Emerson hadn’t been the middleman. (Message me if you want their name; they were fantastic.) Emerson Paints, on the other hand? Not a single follow-up. No call to see how the job went. Nothing. Their last contact with me was their guy walking uninvited into my house. Bottom line: Emerson Paints is overpriced, unreliable, and dishonest. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone."

"John did an outstanding job painting our home! The work was clean and precise, and he went above and beyond by fixing small issues we had noticed or not. His attention to detail, professionalism, and thorough cleanup were impressive. Highly recommend for any painting project!"

"Fine it was fine"

"Painting fine, easy to work with"

"We hired Wow 1 Day for 2 separate projects and each one was high quality work with professional service and communications. The first was after we had a flood and needed to get our basement painted after water remediation. The second time we use the company to repaint our entire house. They were great helping with color consultations. We let our kids have some say over there rooms but the company was great in helping with that process. They also helped us be selective about trim and doors that didn't need to repainted to keep us on budget. I would recommend this company without reservation."

"Fair price. EXCEPTIONAL work. It looks like nothing every happened in our basement. I strongly recommend them. I will be using them again."

"Mr Lane and crew were top notch. Did a great job, came on time every day, cleaned up. Great price."

"The work progressed on time by two excellent associates who were very capable in painting, but also in hanging patio doors. Their painting job was done very meticulously and the house looks clean and great! Giorgio also arranged for a plumbing contractor to replace leaky faucets to facilitate power-washing the walls outsi before painting. I feel that I got good value for the money."

"Very fast and very good."

"Bottom Line: This is the third time using Manor Works – the second time for painting. They did excellent work for a reasonable price, and more importantly, rebuilt some customer trust after some botched carpentry work. Communication: Scheduling the initial estimate was easy and timely, while communications continued throughout the process. This was particularly important as we needed several days with good weather for external painting. Scoping Work: This is probably the most important first step in any project and often either messed up or purposely inflated. Victor actively listened to my desires and provided detailed advice and worked through various options as we worked out the details. For this project, we needed the exterior foundation repainted. Manor Works powerwashed, scraped, primed, and painted it all in a day. Quality of Work: The final product looks great, and since they back it with a 4-year warranty, I have peace of mind it was done right. Even more importantly, they ensured the painting was neat and clean without a lot of extraneous paint on the siding or other objects keeping a neat and professional look. Pricing: Price was the best of three highly ranked Angie’s List companies. Mano Works’ expertise, practical scoping, timely communication, and excellent work took the hassle out of this project."
