DP PAINTING AND RESTORATION LLC

Darren quickly showed up to assess damages, created estimate for insurance co., gave accurate timeline. His crew did a great job and brought the house back to like-new condition. Darren gave timely updates frequently. Answered my questions.

Excellent. High quality workmanship. Very good pricing. Very timely in getting the job done. Would use this company again and recommend it others.

We enjoyed working with Darren and would highly recommend him. He and a plaster repair specialist worked together on this project to repair our home. They seamlessly coordinated their work from start (working with the insurance company to adjust their estimated cost of repairs) to finish. Darren worked to get the job started as soon as possible after the cost of the repair was agreed (late Fall) so as to prevent us the challenge of having another ice dam form because of the hole in the ceiling allowing air to warm the attic. He communicated well, was respectful of our home, and did a great job on the repair and the clean-up.

I was very satisfied with the quality of the work! Very good communication, pricing was fair, and there were no surprises. Darren, the owner, is a professional - he's honest and he knows what he is doing. I highly recommend this company!

Darin is picky and makes sure everything is done well. He is the cleanest worker I've ever used - -vacuuming,, etc as he goes. We were extremely pleased.

Excellent experience. All of my questions and concerns were addressed quickly, clearly, and professionally. The work was fantastic and done on time.

We recently moved and wanted to get the house painted before moving in, not only did Darren’s team turn this around in a couple weeks but they did an amazing job and came in under the original budget! We will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend!

This past year, Darren Picket and his crew did an outstanding job with our home. Darren visited our home nearly every day his crews were working on-site. Darren took the time to talk with us, or meet with us, as often as needed, answering all our questions with patience. Darren's years of experience and his depth of knowledge in both painting and restoration are the reasons why we employed his company. We are happy we did and would highly recommend their services to others.

Darren took walls (one in particular) that were in very rough shape and transformed them into a smooth "brand new" surface. He had to spend a significant amount of time repairing them with sheetrock mud, but it was worth it. I am very pleased with the results, more importantly, my wife is extremely happy! If the need arises in the future, I will use DP Painting again. Darren is professional, meticulous, and has excellent customer service.

4/11/16 Received quote from DP Painting for $2040 for labor only to stain our deck4/18/16 Sent $500 deposit to DP Painting4/22/16 $500 deposit check cashed by DP Painting4/29/16 Emailed Darren Pickit since I had not heard an update or that our deposit check had been received4/30/16 Darren Pickit replied stating that it was still too cool at night to begin the work on our deckEnd of May- Finally notified that we can pick out our deck stain.  Was expecting that the work would be done by now so let Darren know that we were having a family get together on June 17 and I would like to have my deck done by then.6/7/16 $1400 check written to DP Painting so work could get started per Darren's request6/10/16 Started staining deck6/21/16 Staining of deck completed6/24/16 Darren and worker came to look at deck to see if we needed any touchups.  Wrote the final charges on a piece of paper for my husband, charged us $25 for five deck screws that were replaced and $609.61 for materials.  Total of services = $2674.61
Unfortunately this was not a positive experience for us.  We thought we would be dealing with a stand up business as we had seen them at the Lakeville home and garden show.  Our experience was not the same as our expectations.  Darren continually was telling us that they cannot control the weather and would even go so far as to send us pictures of the sky.  There were lots of rainy days from April to June, however there were a number of nice days as well.  If they were getting that far behind I would have liked to have known where we were in their line of upcoming jobs.  Also, we were told by Darren that they "might" have to work over the weekend to get our job done.  I would think that if it was raining that much you would definitely be working the weekends in order to get caught up on your jobs.  Maybe I am expecting too much, however the service we received did not meet expectations, and most certainly did not exceed them based on the unusual communication.  The crew worked hard when they were here and did a nice job on our deck.  There were some spots where stain got on our siding.  There had been stain on our siding from the previous owners' staining job.  When my husband pointed this out to Darren he was adamant that it was old stain and not new stain.  I was not born yesterday and I am not an idiot, however, if you work with this guy he will try to make you feel like one.  Even if it was old, a good business man would say "Hey, I know what will get that off of there, let me try this."  Nope, not Darren.  There is no above and beyond for this guy.  I hope he enjoys his $25 for the screws he put in our deck because they will definitely cost him.

The sub-contractors were great. The contractor was not great.
