Nik and his team at Somerset Painting and Home Improvements did an amazing job with my basement and garage remodel (please see photos)! I had never hired a contractor before, so I was somewhat cautious and apprehensive. However, my fears and apprehension were quickly allayed by Nik and his team, who were very professional, efficient, communicated well, and performed all of the work with an attention to detail that exceeded my expectations! All of the subcontractors who worked with Nik at Somerset Painting and Home Improvements, including drywallers, tilers, electrician, floor epoxy, etc., did superior work and I could not be more pleased with the results! Before the remodel I had carpet, drop ceiling with fluorescent lighting, and some unnecessary partition walls in the basement. The project started with a water leak. Nik recommended removing the ceiling tiles, painting the ceiling black, and installing down lights. He also recommended removing the partition walls and adding an egress window to open up the basement. I hadn't thought of these things and appreciated his suggestions. During the course of the project, I decided to convert the space to a gym and added a bathroom. Nik was very accommodating with the many changes that I made to the plan, and I appreciated his flexibility. He even installed a sauna in the spare basement room, which turned out great! Nik's tiler did an incredible job with the bathroom tile work! The garage was a mess before the remodel. Nik and his team repaired the drywall and installed wall storage panels throughout the garage, which allowed me to organize all of my tools. Mat did an amazing job with the garage floor epoxy. Dragon (electrician at Somerset) did a phenomenal job installing hexagon ceiling lights in the garage and down lights with smart switches in the basement. He also installed a Ring security camera and some exterior outlets. All of Dragon's work was exceptional! Several months after the work was completed, I had another project that I needed Nik's help with, and he generously took time out of his busy schedule to accommodate me, which was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend Somerset Painting and Home Improvements, and I am very confident that you will be as pleased as I am with the work that they do for you!

We hired Somerset painting to paint the exterior of our house. Not only was the job done to perfection, they were professional and easy to communicate with. Details are everything on a paint job and they exceed it. The entire staff from office staff to job site manager handled everything with no stress to us.

Somerset painting handled two jobs for us recently. First the exterior of our home and then a family room remodel. Both jobs went very well and work was done timely and good quality. Working with the color specialist from Somerset, we picked out the best colors to update our home and I have so many neighbors compliment me on how great it looks. Many have asked for the name of the company and i gladly pass it on.

Amazing company. Very professional and informational quote- Kevin took the time to go through the entire process, even recommending larger gutters in the back of my home (another contractor installed the gutters). The quote was very competitive and included a free color consultation. Tim led the project and did an amazing job. He communicated with me often and he is a very talented painter. My house looks brand new. He even finished the job on a holiday weekend which shows his dedication to his craft. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

This is the second time we have used Somerset. We had our original lovely crew! They are responsive, detailed, communicative. Their quality of the work is excellent. Before we begin we go over everything and they provide a written detailed report of what we discussed and heads up on the cost if anything else should arise. No payment due until they finish and you are satisfied. One year guarantee if you should find a problem.

We hired them to paint the exterior of the house, replace some rotted boards and replace the gutters. They are not the lowest price in town, and there work quality was pretty good. However, they rushed to get the job done quickly and did not clean up properly. I found more than 100 nails on the patio, porches and brick walkways, in places where people will be walking in next week's graduation party. I had to go around the house picking up debris and paint chips. On the positive side, they were prompt, polite and didn't try to convince us to do things we didn't need to do, so we found them trustworthy.

Somerset Painting was once again to my rescue! We needed an ice d*** situation fixed at our front door and the ceiling damage repaired and painted before listing our house. Needless to say Time & quality work were both required and Somerset came through for us. The work would be called out in the home selling paperwork so everything had to be fixed permanently and looking good….BOTH WERE DELIVERED!

The job was done to an acceptable standard. The company did NOT honor their quote and instead bought primer at $50/gallon without consulting me, which drove up the cost by hundreds of dollars. This felt unethical to me so I confronted the one who performed the estimate (Rick) who also happens to be the owner. He was unprofessional over the phone and seemed drunk. He stated to me that estimates are just a guess and don't mean anything. If I knew any of this ahead of time I would've stayed away from the company. It's worth mentioning that everyone else I dealt at the company was professional. Blame falls squarely on the owner.
Response from Somerset Painting & Professional Improvements
"Wow how things can be totally misrepresented. The estimate for the labor never changed. The gentleman asked me for a guesstimate of how much paint would be used. I told him at the time I did not like to do that because it just gets us in trouble. He demanded I give him a ballpark I missed the ballpark because the primer was needed that did not appear to be needed when I saw the work. Please know that when we were done discussing the whole situation I let him know he could pay whatever he felt was fair. I don’t know how to do any better than that.? I have never been drunk in my life. And I love treating customers with total respect and fairness. Which I hope you can see from the other hundreds of reviews how we treat people."

Our crew lead by Julian and Kristian (not sure if that's how he spells it?) was *outstanding*. For some people there may be some difficulty with English not being their first language. Work through it, your patience will be rewarded. These guys do good work and care about your project. On our project they made smart suggestions on the fly as things came up, and gave me options, and let me choose what to do. For example, there was some wood damage that we didn't know about until they got there with a ladder, and the initial plan I had for gel staining my front door was not going to look how I initially thought. In both of those cases and a few others they showed me the issue, were ready with good ideas, let me pick an option and showed me progress along the way so we could course correct as needed. I knew what was happening with my house each day and I feel extremely confident that I got great value for the price I paid. They also pointed out some work that needs to be done on some windows that I didn't know about. They are not a window company but now I know about the problem so I can address it before it gets worse. We had a pretty big project. I live in a 1920s home with stucco and wood board style siding. We needed a lot of painting, and varnishing / protecting the front door some woodwork around it. We also needed some repairs done on the wood trim as well as the stucco. We also still have a lot of original windows, some in great shape, and some in really bad shape, and we needed some light repairs there as well. Everything looks great, even better than what I hopes for, and I am so happy to have things fixed. I strongly recommend them to anyone who has a large exterior painting project, especially if it is a somewhat more complex problem that might involve some light repairs or determining the extent of damage and deciding what to do from there. I will also mention that the guy who came out for our initial consultation, Kevin, was great to work with. He gives very detailed bids and was also able to help me better understand the condition of my house and what options I had.

The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. I received a quote right away, the renderings were a huge help in making our decision, and the end result is beautiful. Every one on the team was helpful, responsive, professional, and kind. Thank you for bringing our vision to life! Definitely recommend this company.

Awesome! The owner, Rick, came out two days after the call, provided a detailed estimate in writing later in the day and gave me a good estimate for the timeline. They actually had a crew available earlier than expected, so from the estimate request to job completion was a little over two weeks. The crew was great! Polite, professional, friendly and did a great job. They tracked down the cement fiberboard and replaced the damaged siding, did a great job painting and did everything we needed. The estimate was pretty spot on (we had quite a bit of work done not originally included). The final invoice was detailed and easy to read. From booking to estimate to scheduling, to execution, billing and follow up, Somerset was awesome.

I highly recommend Somerset Painting. Here’s why: Our project consisted of two parts: carpentry and paint. We needed to replace about 200 sq.ft. of second level wood siding which had deteriorated over the years. It was not an easy job, because the lower level roof cut across at an angle, so each new panel had to be cut to fit then hauled up and put in place. Also, about 3,000 sq.ft. of wood siding and overhangs on the rest of our house needed painting. Most of the work was completed in one long day, which minimized the disruption. This was through hard work, not cutting corners. Julian and crew were justifiably proud of the end result. The new siding and paint look terrific. Careful prep work meant joint lines that are crisp and clean. In addition, the paint process, which consisted of spray, back-roll, and follow-up spray to blend the painted area, resulted in a very smooth appearance, including under the overhangs. Rick Hartsell, the founder of Somerset Painting, took on our project with just a handshake. A deposit was not required. His confidence that we would be happy upon completion was a deciding factor in our decision to hire them. Our house looks like new.

We recently had Somerset Painting paint the exterior on our 1926 Craftsman Bungalow. We were very impressed by Rick when he came out to quote the job, pointing out many things that others did not. We can also not say enough about the painter assigned to our job Tim Mitrofanov. His attention to detail, care for our property, plantings and execution was stellar, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

They met and went beyond our expectations. Removed wallpaper in powder room, primed and painted it. Painted all interior hallways, two sets of stairways with landings and foyer. 2 coats. Finished in days. When finished they cleaned our hardwood floors and vacuumed in-spite of everything be covered! Very professional, communicative and hardworking. A pleasure to have them in our home.

Work ultimately was great. A few hiccups. I would recommend for bigger jobs, but being a small job I don’t think we were a good fit.
