Due to a miscommunication on my behalf painting of a fireplace was not completed. With just an email, a crew member was here the next day and the error was rectified at no cost to me.
I would definitely use this company again and would recommend them to anyone who wants a painting bid well, work done on time with no mess, and your repainted home looking lovely.
Please note Tara is a hands-on owner and works with her crew. She is very concerned that the job be done well and to the customer's satisfaction.
Excellent service, I will use them again.
Shortly after the stain was selected, a worker arrived and, in the course of one warm, dry day, applied two coats of stain on the walking surface of the deck and one coat on the upright parts. He was professional, responsive and competent.
She showed up on-time, looked at the job and wrote up the quote. The cost was exactly as she described during our previous communications and after being able to meet her in person, I was looking forward to having Speed Pro do the work
We agreed on a time for the work to begin and an approximate completion date. The crew started and completed as expected. The crew was very professional and did a fantastic job. There were never any issues and Tara's communication was great.
I look forward to using Speed Pro again and would defintely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional painting company.
Poor job done in kitchen by owner herself. You can see white patches even after 2 coats ! third one costs extra.
We just went with them because of excellent rating on Angie's, but now I think I should have shop around.
They have dripped paint on carpet as well as on floor in our newly constructed house...
"I'm not sure how to respond to reports like this. She chose a deep reddish color for the kitchen and didn't like it. So I stopped painting in the middle of the job and immediately ran right to the paint store to get another color that she liked better. I put two coats on and told her it may require a third coat because it was such a deep color. The paint was still wet when we left so I asked her to call me after it dried if she thought it needed another coat. She never did so I assumed it looked ok. Our bid states that drastic color changes may require additional coats, for additional costs. No surprises here."
estimates (both Angie's list companies) before selecting Speed Pro. The
first company quoted me 3 days/4 painters/$1500.00. Tara quoted me one
day, two painters, $750.00. There was such a difference, I was actually
concerned! I almost went with the more expensive quote because, well, if
it seems to good to be true... Fortunately I used my head and went with
Speed Pro. It took two painters 1 day to finish the job. About $750
including paint to do my living room, foyer, stairs and upstairs hallway
(including paint!) It looks beautiful! They were professional, polite;
came on time, and did a perfect job. I could not be happier. I will
never paint another room again! Speed Pro has gained a customer for
life. Thank you!
I called Tara and she responded promptly to set up an estimate. When she arrived, she was a great help in picking out some bright colors that would update my new home. I'm not exactly an interior designer so it was great to have a confident opinion on my side. I ended up doing an accent wall that looks great in my living room.
The work was done in a punctual manner. I had three rooms done (two coats of paint) and my ceilings in a flat white. It took less than six hours. When I came home, everything was clean and in order. Most of all, the painting looked great. I will definitely call Tara again in the future, the first time!
after I contacted them via e-mail. The owner came out for the estimate
and even helped me decide on the color by bringing in lots of color
charts. After this I promptly received an estimate and sent in my
deposit to hold the date we agreed on. Communicating with this company
via e-mail is an excellent experience. E-mails are answered right away
- no waiting. The crew arrived on time on the day we agreed on and
began painting our living room, dining "L", hallway - ceilings and
moldings. They also closed off an old clothes chute in the hallway and
dry walled over it (you cannot even tell it was there). It took the two
workers a full day to complete the work, and they were very polite and
worked hard. The paint job was excellent and we are very pleased. We
are planning to have them back again in a couple months to paint two
bedrooms. Thanks Speed Pro for a job well done!
But, I later called Speed Pro and (owner?) Tara asked me to email her the dimensions and a photo, since it was hard for me to meet her just for an estimate appointment. I told her in advance that the other quotes I had obtained were beyond my current budget. She gave me a quote of $250, and that seemed within my range.
When Speed Pro arrived they realized what they apparently couldn?t discern from my photo, which was that the mildew, etc., staining was very severe. They could have just power washed my wood as best they could, and moved on to the next contract. But, instead, they took it upon themselves to drive to Home Depot, buy chemicals, and then do treatments before power washing. What perhaps could have been presumed to be a ninety minute job took them the entire afternoon.
The deck looks very good. Of course it doesn?t look ?just like new,? but it probably looks as good as it possibly can. I?m a little surprised that Speed Pro took so much pride in doing things as well as if it was the deck on their very own home. And, I?m even more surprised that they did all that unforecasted extra work while still holding their original quote. I don?t have a history of experience with decks, but I do now know enough that when I have to get this kind of work done in the future, the first (if not only) quote I?m going to get will be from Speed Pro.
"This woman forgot to mention that I was with the painter I sent out and we both stayed until she was satisfied. I'm sorry that we didn't get it perfect the first time. There are often touch ups with painting, I don't understand why people are surprised by that. What sets us apart from other companies is that we will return as many times as it takes to satisfy our customers. Fortunately, if there are touch ups, once is usually enough. Windows will stick with the elevated humidity and not being left open long enough. I understand not wanting to cool the outside by leaving them open. Be warned this has been an issue this unusually hot summer. I can only chuckle at the "painting being too much trouble" comment."
My guest room project was performed in a day. The project entailed removal of wallpaper, usual patching where necessary, and painting walls, woodwork and the closet. The crew arrived promptly at the pre-arranged time and set up the job efficiently, and dove right in. At the end of the day, the room was transformed from an eyesore room to one that was updated and pleasant. Upon inspection, I noted a couple of small things that were quickly taken care of before the crew's departure. A later, more thorough inspection yielded a couple of other small things that I was not totally satisfied with and I emailed Tara for resolution. Promptly, at 9 A.M. the next morning, one of the crew members was at my door, with a smile and pleasant demeanor, to resolve those picky things that I wanted changed. I have become reliant upon Speed Pro's Tara and her crew to do the quality work that I would do myself, if not physically challenged. I can count on Tara's years of expertise to tackle any "surprises" that my old house may present in these projects. Her years of experience provide an encyclopedia of great ideas when you are just plain stuck, and solutions for many tricky paint problems. Her crew is always punctual, professional and respectful of my home. It has been a rarity to have to have someone come back out to resolve any point.
I am looking forward to my next painting project which is in the planning stage, involving multiple rooms and has some very specific challenges. I am confident that Speed Pro will do a fantastic job for me.Licensing
