He was so helpful in picking just the right colors. He helped me choose an accent wall and I love the overall effect. Also the prep work was meticulous with the patching, sanding, and getting rid of the roller marks left by the last painter. Im very pleased with my "new" home!

Kerry takes his time trying to figure out which colors would work for you. He listens and does what you want, but gives his honest opinion.

Kerry did a great job getting our rental property painted and ready to be turned over for our new tenants in the short time frame we gave him. His willingness to be flexible with his schedule was almost as great as the quality of his work!

Kerry takes pride in the work he does. He was sincere, hard-working and produces phenomenal, outstanding results. He will make sure it gets done in the time estimated. When he provides a bid on the work, he sticks to it regardless of obstacles that arise. The wallpaper removal took much longer than expected and he stuck to his original estimate. I appreciate his honesty and expertise.

Kerry did a fantastic job painting our living room, dining room, and upstairs and downstairs hallways. He was very easy to work with and made great suggestions on color combinations, which I used and ended up loving. He is very meticulous, yet efficient-- he got the job done in the exact time he projected. You can easily tell he takes his work very seriously and wants you to be pleased. And you will be! I would definitely hire him again for any other projects down the road.

The owner/operator of this business is a very patient person and even though he had a tough job removing the wallpaper, he kept his cool and did a fabulous job. He is knowledgable and will give you a great product. He painted 2 bathrooms and they look great. You won't be disappointed if you hire him.

I recently hired Design Effects to repaint my condo. Not only were they the first to call me back but the estimate process included a color consultation. Kerry was extremely professional, conscientious and thorough. He took the time to evaluate my space, the lighting, my goals and thoughts. He gave his expert opinion and made sure I was 100% comfortable throughout the process. He finished quickly and kept the space very clean during the actual painting. I am a perfectionist and am completely happy with the job Design Effects delivered. Do not hesitated to hire Design Effects for your next project!!

We switched to Design Effect after experiencing some difficulties with a sub par contractor. The premium paid was significant but definitely worth the money. The overall quality of the service and quality provided by Kerry Bauer were top notch. We saw over 10 contractors and used them as they are definitely not your usual painter. Some of the highlights: * counseling in selection of colors, paint brands and finishes * high attention to detail * will respect the original esthetics of the home * high work / service ethics Would recommend for anyone looking to get quality work done in their house.

Kerry is very knowledgeable and professional. I can't believe how perfect my 55 year old laundry room looks 'now'. He gave very good advice, he supports Green materials, and he did I great job! I will hire him again for my next painting job.

Kerry was very helpful with color selection and patient with our indecisiveness before the project even began. His quote was just a little higher but worth every penny. He is very picky about his work and fixed many items we did not even notice. He is open to suggestions and great about lending his opinion as well. This was the first paint project we ever hired out and he is actually coming back to do more work for us and we have already referred him to a friend. He deserves the entire 5 stars! Thanks Kerry!

Kerry goes above and beyond other painters I have hired in the past. He has the ability to do excellent color consulting and will work with you until the shade is right and you are totally happy. He is very detailed and takes his work product very seriously. An additional bonus for me was that he can also do various handyman type projects such as caulking, shower tile repair and gutter cleaning while completing the painting project. That extra feature was very valuable to me. He costs a little more than a basic painter, but is more than worth it. If you want top quality and impeccable results (even for handyman work), look no further.

Kerry was very willing to discuss what I wanted. I had some woodwork done by him before he painted. He was quick, precise, and very consciensious about his work. I would use him again.
