They gave me an estimate, set a date and showed up when they said they would. They did a great job of working around me, as I work from home. The job was done very well.

This is the fourth and most challenging project we have placed in DJ's Painting and Power Washing's miracle working hands. They painted every inch of the entire lower level of our home which went years without attention at an incredibly fast pace. Always on time and always putting in a full productive day. Wall patching, trim replacement and installation of a new bathroom drywall ceiling all completed quickly and to perfection. From their fair estimate through working under difficult challenging conditions, we could not be happier with the results. What an incredible difference someone with such professionalism, knowledge of their craft and honest work ethic can make. Would we have them do a fifth project for us? Absolutely! Thank you Derrick, another job well done!

I selected DJ’s Painting & Power Washing to paint my home on a recommendation by an employee at a major paint company store. Great decision. All aspects of the work by owner Mr. Derrick Spears and his crew were totally professional. They did more than I expected from start to finish, from their expert prep work, including covering all furniture and fixtures, fixing pop outs, drywall strips and spackling to even applying two coats of paint on all walls including the 18-foot walls in the foyer and great room and each day ended with thorough clean-up. Best of all, it was reasonably priced for such excellent work. Given Mr. Spears top-notch and efficient work, I’ve already scheduled to have the entire exterior of my home power-washed by his company.

This provider is terrible at answering their phone or returning phone calls when messages are left. Also they scheduled an appointment and were 40 minutes late which cut into another appointment I had scheduled so we rescheduled. Then for the reschedule they never showed up and didn't return my phone calls. Basically I wasted two solid days on this company and will never work with them again.
Response from DJ's Painting & Power Washing
"As a top-referred home improvement firm here in southern Maryland, we are proud to say that we stay booked for at least 3 to 4 months in advance. When we schedule our appointments with prospective customers, we do so knowing two things: (1) in order to get your project completed, if it is more than a days work, then you are looking at a possible 3 month wait to get your project taken care of, (2) to come out to do an estimate for anyone, we are taking time away from our current projects, as well as, time away from our family. So while I appreciate your thoughts over you not feeling we answered your call in a timely manner or by showing up as expected, I respectfully disagree. We came out to the address you provided (which is not occupied), to find the house completely dark, and no one there to meet us. Seeing as we had driven across three counties to meet with you, we decided to wait for 45 minutes in the driveway. Finally, after giving you a quick call to see if all was ok, you not-so-kindly let me know that you didn't feel like waiting around since you already met with other contractors. We attempted to reschedule but you decided against that. I would have been more than happy to meet with you at an earlier time that day. However, when I am on a project for one of my customer's, they and their needs, are my top concern. I'm hopeful you found a provider to meet your needs in the time frame that you were looking for. Best of luck to you."

We are planning to sell our house and it was in dire need of a good power washing. The house has some very high peaks that make doing any washing from the ground difficult. We looked around for different companies to use and, after some research, we decided to go with DJ's. DJ's wasn't the cheapest but they came out to the estimate. Other companies used an alternative way rather than coming out to provide the estimate. This may be acceptable for them but I like the personal attention and, after speaking with Derrick, we came to an agreement on price, time frame, and service to be performed. We got a good vibe from him and he even offered some advice on other questions we had (not related to the job at hand).
They were very accommodating to our schedule. They power washed the house/deck on the first visit and did an exceptional job. The house, deck, porch, patio, and sidewalk looked great when they left! They came back a couple weeks later to stain the deck. They had drop cloths to cover the patio to prevent over spray and made a plan before they started. The deck was a little dirty (from the trees thanks to the forest that surrounds us) and they blew it clean before even starting
The workmanship is great. Derrick and his team are very professional, personable, fair, and friendly. When they were done, they stayed a little longer to chat rather than taking the money and speeding off. Derrick also helped me save a little money by telling my in advance of the fees I'd have to pay if I used a credit card.
If I need a painter, I know who I'm calling too.
Very satisfied with the service received!

"I always enjoy coming out to meet each and every prospective customer. It certainly allows me to know exactly what you are looking for and helps me to provide you with the best plan of action to get your project completed. It just so happens that while I'm learning all about what you are wanting to get done, we [Member Name Removed] veer off and talk about other things as well. Yes, it's always nice to get paid for what we do, but it's an absolute privilege to make new friends along the way. Thank you for taking the extra time to talk with me as well. It was my absolute pleasure working for you and look forward to assisting you in the future, at your new home!"

What can I say? D.J. and his team remind me of scarecrows - because they are outstanding in their field!! We hired them to paint three rooms in our rental property. The first room was the kitchen, which was covered with wall paper that was all the rage back in 1975, when the house was built. Lots of cabinets and things to work around; lots of "cutting" as far as painting goes. DJ and his team removed the wall paper, sanded the walls and primed and painted the walls with a color we chose. They also did the same thing in the master bathroom - removed old wall paper and sanded, primed and painted the walls and ceiling. They also painted the master bedroom. It all looks FAN-TAS-TIC. When we walk into these rooms now, it is like walking into a brand-new house. This was a clean, sharp paint job with a lot of attention paid to detail, and they left the house as clean as they found it. Although they had told us to plan for a two-day project, they did the entire thing in one day. Unbelievable. Also, DJ is very pleasant to deal with. Absolutely will not hesitate to hire them again. Worth every penny!!!

I contacted Derrick via Angie's list and he was extremely responsive to follow up with an email and schedule a free estimate. He walked me through the repairs to my drywall and gave some suggestions as well. He provided his estimate the next day via a phone call and it was in line with what I was expecting to pay. A few days later I signed and returned the contract via email and waited for Derrick to find an available spot in his schedule. I wasn't in a big rush, but since Derrick busy he couldn't fit me in for several months - not a big deal for me but his great work really is in demand!
The day of work, Derrick and his team showed up promptly at 8am and began working right away. They took great care to move any cover any furniture I wasn't able to move as well as remove all of the wall plates and light fixtures. The team of three completed all the drywall and painting work in a day and a half; which I thought was really fast! The work all looks very good and I'm happy my walls are no longer a drab white. The team cleaned up after themselves very well and were extremely respectful and courteous to me (and my dog) while they were in the house.
I would definitely use this company again for drywall and painting and I'm interested in trying their power washing service in the future.

Went very well, very happy I found this company. They did a great job with the power washing and painting, my house looks brand new again. Would definitely recommend them and will use them again for my future needs. They even got the work done sooner than promised. All A's in my book. Derrick is a great guy to work with, he even took a hidden chip of my siding to have the paint mix for the foundation match up exactly. Everything was tidy when they were done, didn't have to pick up any leftover materials or trash. Great job guys! Thank again

These guys ? three of them -- did a fantastic job.
Responded to my call for an estimate the same day and were
at my house the following day. The estimate itself came within a few days. I
believe the estimate was competitive. They couldn?t schedule me for about a
month, but actually did the power washing a week earlier, which took one full
day. They also power washed my deck, garage apron, and garage door (inside
& out) gratis.
They spent one day prepping as per contract: Prior to any
painting being done, any areas where needed, were caulked with an oil based
cedar colored caulk.
They spent two days painting as per contract: Apply a tack
coat followed by a full strength coat of Behr Transparent Wood Finish to all
the siding around the exterior of the home. Cedar Natural Tone, color chosen by
customer. (I changed my mind on the type of stain to be used ? it cost more ?
they did not charge me extra). Apply stain on home with a spray with a back
brush. Paint side door, along with door jamb, with one (1) coat, semi-gloss,
white.
I have some interior painting to be done and will definitely have DJ's Paining & Power Washing do it.

We used DJ on two occasions..May and June 2015. The estimate was accurate, the work was excellent and we felt comfortable with his team in our home. His team was concerned about doing quality work and keeping things clean. We will definitely use him for future projects. We had three different estimates, but Derrick closed the deal.

After soliciting several price quotes and proposals. I decided to hire DJ's Painting to paint the entire exterior of our home. From the very onset, Derrick was extremely knowledgable and informative as we discussed paints and finishes to meet our desired outcome. It was a big job that took a full week to complete. Even with weather delays and meeting other customer needs, Derrick and his team were able to complete the job on time and budget. They were prompt, professional, courteous and clean, resulting in a great job at a fair price. I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend their services.

Derrick of DJ's Painting and Power Washing was incredibly professional, prompt, informative, and superbly qualified. He utterly transformed our deck; look brand new! Far better than we thought it could look. When considering a contractor for this type of work, look no further and DJ's Painting & Power Washing. They did A+++++ work, and we could not be more satisfied. Yet another Angie's List find that turned out to be a diamond. Thank God for Angie's List.
BTW: We have already hired Derrick to return this fall for several projects. Can hardly wait to see the results. I give DJ's Painting & Power Washing my unequivocal recommendation!

This was the second time that we used Jeff's services. The first time that we contracted with Jeff was to refinish our Kitchen cabinets and paint 80% of the rooms in our 3-Level Townhouse. His crew is always punctual, detail oriented and dedicated to providing excellent services. The team did an excellent job with the stairs and ensured that the final product was as perfect as possible. We will be using Jeff's services again.
