It was a sloppy job, paint dribbles everywhere, paint pooled on floor boards and some repair of cracks made it worse than before. Some of the crew spent time talking to family on his cell phone during the time here. I felt that I was being kind by not staying in the condo during that painting, but had to return do to a personal emergency. Good thing I did. Also had told them that they were welcomed to anything to drink in my Fridge, they definitely took advantage of that. Found out why price was so cheap with all the problems above and the fact that they did not paint any of the ceilings, though they did some repair to ceiling, they did not blend it out. Painted bathroom door, closed it before it dried and when I opened it all the paint pulled off of the door. I have a very small Laundry room and there was a same repair there, and all they did was paint down to the top of washer and dryer, it is so noticeable. I didn't realize that when I told them the whole condo, that it did not mean the ceilings, except where some cracks were fixed. I am done with them as they said they would come back and fix these things, that was almost a month ago and I am trying to sell my condo, tired of waiting.

When we stepped into our mostly empty house we were preparing for sale, the first thing we noticed after the paint job was the flood in the kitchen. The painters has unplugged the refrigerator. They had not plugged it back in. Walking upstairs we saw our custom-made silk drapes in the bedrooms thrown into a heap in the middle of the bedroom floors. The few remaining things in the rooms were tossed on top of the drapes. Then there was the mess. There was paint everywhere. Asking these people to clean up their mess was a bigger mistake than hiring them in the first place. They had not yet done lasting damage. This was about to change. Their cleaning the paint on the wall-to-wall carpet in the dining room resulted in a dark, permanent stain ruining the carpet. Do not hire Fresh Look Painting.
Description of Work: Fresh Look Painting did interior painting to get our house ready for sale.

Description of Work: Fresh Look painted two rooms in my house - one had stucco walls and the other was the kitchen with already-painted tiles. We hired them because both of these rooms were challenging and we didn't want to tackle them ourselves. They did a great job. They were very careful around the tile. They got the stucco covered completely (we had painted this ourselves a couple of times and knew it wasn't easy!). At one point they ran low on paint - they ran out to get more, with no charge to me. They were done on time. Staff were very professional and courteous. I would definitely work with them again!

It's hard to complain about this company. They were very nice people to deal with. However, I have several complaints. They used inferior paint, the wrong type of finish (i.e. satin vs. flat vs. semi-gloss) and the crew, though friendly and polite were clearly not trained professionals. As I look at the job after the fact, I am very disappointed in many aspects of it. This was the lowest of the bids I received for this job. I should have known better.

I will not use this company. I would like to preface my disdain by saying I was trying to contact this company because a friend of mine recommended them. I first called the number listed for the company on Friday, June 1st. After several rings a woman picked up and all she said was, "Hello." Since I thought I had called someone's home number by accident I asked if I had correctly dialed the number for FRESH LOOK PAINTING LTD. She responded with, "Yes, would you like to call back and leave a message?" I told her, "No thank you." and then hung up the phone. I attempted to call the company again on Monday, June 4th. The same exact thing happened. After a couple of rings, a woman picked up with a simple, "Hello." Again, I verified I was calling FRESH LOOK PAINTING LTD. This time the woman asked if I would like to leave a message with her or call back and leave a message. I told her I'd like to leave a message for Kemper Sullivan. I left my name, number. and what I was calling about. I was hoping to receive an estimate for an interior paint job to include 4 bedrooms, a hallway, and a stairway. Instead, I'll be looking for another company to handle my business.
Description of Work: There were no services performed because of a lack of professionalism when contact was attempted twice.

Response from FRESH LOOK PAINTING LTD
I was out of town & never got the message. Sorry this occurred. Not my usual way of doing business. And, yes, one number is both home & office. Cell phone is best way to reach me, even if out of town. (410-707-7593)

I was very pleased with this company. Kemper was able to schedule an appt. for an estimate very promptly. I was concerned about a somewhat short timeline, but his team could start a few days later and they finished in two days. Clean-up was very good as well. His team was professional and courteous. The house looks great!
Description of Work: The team painted the walls of my very large living room (36x18) that has very high ceilings as well. Also, they painted, the walls, ceiling, trim of my dining room, as well as two upstairs hallways and a stairway.

They were flexible about time/date and punctual. The owner was great to work with, and the young man that did the painting was very pleasant, easy to have in the house, and cleaned up after himself. The quality of the work was very good. You will not do wrong with this company.

My rental townhouse needed a freshen up on the interior and exterior paint. Kemper came in with a great price. His crew came in on the day as promised and did some of the work, but missed allot of what we had discussed. I contacted Kemper, he said there was some miscommunication between himself and his crew and he assured me that he would make it right. Two days later everything was as it should have been. It would have been nice to not have that additional bit of drama in the middle, but at the end of the day I got exactly what I expected for a great price. Thanks Kemper!

We were moving back into our townhome after it had been a rental unit for about three years. It needed a complete paint job as it had never been painted after the builder completed it six years ago. We got five quotes before we decided to go with Fresh Look. Kemper's quote was definitely the lowest price and he also had good recommendations from Angie's List, so we felt comfortable using him. Our timeline was very tight and we were lucky that our project fit into his schedule. During the initial meeting, Kemper explained the process thoroughly, answered all of our questions, and gave us a quote right on the spot. He had a team of three painters that worked extremely fast and were very accurate. He originally estimated the job would take two days, but his team finished in one 10 - 11 hour day. We were very pleased w/the quality of his work and also his price (especially compared with the other contractors). We definitely recommend him and would hire him again.
Description of Work: Painted our entire townhouse including walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Most of the job was completed via paint sprayer w/back brush for the second coat. Some priming to cover marks on the walls. All prep work was included.

The whole job went very smoothly. Kemper and his crew were all very nice and professional. They finished the job in two days. My wife and I were thrilled with the results. We were also thrilled with the price. Another painting company quoted us a price that was almost 3 times what we were quoted by Kemper!
Description of Work: They painted the interior of my standard sized townhouse, including the ceilings. They also repaired some minor wall damage. The only areas that weren't painted were the kitchen, master bathroom, and the closets.

They were less expensive than other companies and they did a great job. They came when they said they were going to and when I went to see the work it was very professional. They had to use a a lot more paint than they thought but they didn't charge me more and stuck to the original estimate.
Description of Work: They came out and painted the interior of a town house that I rent out.
