Gil Painting Co Inc

I like their attention to detail.  The job was very well done and afterwards they cleaned up very well like they had never been there before.

Walter Gil, his son Javier, and another relative showed up at the agreed time of 11 AM and set right to work on my front porch. They used drop cloths to protect the porch floor and the surrounding plants. They sanded, primed and painted 3 front porch posts w/ 2 coats of paint. They caulked porch ceiling cracks and painted with 2 coats of paint.
Walter had purchased the Benjamin Moore paint in the colors I had chosen and I paid the bill of $242.
They then moved inside the house and again carefully placed drop cloths on the wood stairway and hallway up and down. Walter patched hallway cracks and skimmed over imperfections in the 88-yr old walls. He used Kilz, I believe, on the hallway walls where patching and skimming were needed. While the hallway prep dried, the painters set about covering bedroom furniture that could not be relocated and moving other items that could be relocated. They covered the bed, dresser, TV, night stands with plastic drop cloths and the floor with a heavy canvas drop cloth. They spent about 6 hours on-site on Day One.
On Day Two, they returned at the agreed upon time of 9:30 AM, again put down hallway drop cloths and painted the hallway walls, excluding the trim. In the bedroom they took down the 3 window curtains and, at my insistence, the window shades as well, using a step ladder. (I was concerned that the shades and curtains not be damaged, as a previous painter had done by reaching up to remove them without using a step ladder.) The Gil painting crew have steady hands as they did not use painter's tape for edging next to the woodwork. Nevertheless, there were no problems. They primed the bedroom walls and applied two coats of paint in the course of the day.They cleaned up after themselves, replaced furniture and window coverings.
They spent about 5 1/2 hours on-site on Day Two, the final day.
One of my criteria for workmen is how many jobs their job creates for me after they leave. In the case of Gil Painting Co, I spent about an hour returning clothes to a closet, cleaning floors and windows that should have been cleaned anyway, and another hour trying to adjust one window shade which would not "stop" at regular intervals. This required using a step ladder, reading internet advice on how to repair it. I also had to touch-up paint a small part of the hall woodwork that I had pointed out to one of the painters, but which was not done.
The labor estimate Walter Gil provided was $3200 for the 3 tasks.
The 3 painters were on-site for 11 1/2 hours during two days. Which, if i did my arithmetic correctly, works out to approx. $93/ hr per man.
I am pleased with the quality of the work and the result. But I do feel that the price was above normal.
I have used Gil Painting Co over the years and have been pleased with their professionalism, friendliness, and punctuality.

We were very pleased with Gil Painting Co!  They did a wonderful job painting our entire basement and there were absolutely no issues!  We didn't even need them to come back to touch up.  They showed up on time and were in and out in two days.  They also did a great job on prepping the walls and cleaning up.  I would definitely use again!

My ceilings look absolutely perfect!  The job was done with excellence and the price was very reasonable.  I didn't realize how much damage was actually done on my ceilings, but everything looks great now, and it only took two days to finish!
