"Solid work. I would, and probably will, hire GTO Painting again soon for another project. Friendly and easy to work with. Showed up on time and worked every business day with a crew of 3-4 until the job was done. It took a bit longer than I think everyone expected, given it was a big and messy job, but Juan made sure that the job was done well and honored our contract, despite probably having earned less per hour than he had expected/hoped."

Specializing in wall and ceiling work (in particular drywall, plaster, soundproofing, painting ,popcorn removal , insulation and any property maintenance that is needed) has allowed us to become indispensable experts in the construction field.In the business since 1998

"I recently purchased a new home, and like many older houses, it needed a lot of TLC. Thankfully, I found Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. From the moment I met Brad, I knew I was in good hands. He's not just a contractor; he's a genuine, friendly, and incredibly respectful professional who goes above and beyond. Brad's work was truly outstanding. He expertly prepped and painted the entire interior of my house, transforming it from a dated space into a bright and welcoming home. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the finish is flawless. But Brad didn't stop there. He's a true multi-talented individual. He also tackled a range of other essential tasks, including: • Plumbing Repairs: He expertly replaced my kitchen sink and shower head, and efficiently fixed a leak in my downstairs bathroom sink. Problems that would have taken me days to resolve, he handled with speed and professionalism. • Security Upgrades: He changed all the door locks, providing me with peace of mind and enhanced security. What truly sets Brad apart is his personality. He's not only amazing at what he does but also incredibly funny and easy to talk to. He made the entire renovation process enjoyable and stress-free. He kept me informed every step of the way, and his communication was excellent. Brad's work is a testament to his dedication and skill. He treats your home as if it were his own, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in everything he does. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and personable contractor, look no further than Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. You won't be disappointed. He has earned my highest recommendation. Thank you, Brad, for making my house a home!"

Quality work, minimal disruption. We realize that having your space overtaken by a paint crew isn’t exactly the ideal situation. That's why we've created a smart painting process that eliminates the hassle and mess you usually get with a painting project. Our personalized, detailed proposals clearly outline our services rendered and the total cost of the job. Our painters then work from the proposals, ensuring every project is completed on time and on budget. We deliver both speed and quality so you don’t have to shift your whole life around. And you won’t even smell paint fumes after we’re gone—we also use zero VOC paint, which is better for you and the environment.

"We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience with Wow. We selected a matte sheen for our interior and they used velvet, didn’t repair nail pops, & used a long nap roller, leaving an orange peel texture on our previously smooth walls. We had some areas needing sanding which were not properly done. To be fair, when we raised concerns, they returned promptly & did a nice job fixing the exterior. They applied 1 coat of matte to the interior, again using long rather than short nap roller we requested. 1 coat didn’t fully cover the shine and orange peel remained. My husband preferred to attempt a fix ourselves rather than having them return again, so we told them it was better. We told them we applied a 2nd matte coat with a short nap roller to further reduce shine and smooth the walls. They did not acknowledge this or offer any rectification. We paid $2400 for our interior, applied 2nd coat ourselves, and are stuck either living with orange peel or paying another company to fix it."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Typically, professionals recommend two coats of paint for even coverage. However, you may be able to get away with one coat if you’re painting over a light color with a darker or similar-shade color. But if you’re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats.

If you’re going from a darker to a lighter color, like white to black, you may need up to three coats. Buying high-quality paint and using primer on the walls beforehand can save you the extra labor and cost that comes with adding more coats of paint.

There are many benefits to painting a garage floor, especially if you use an epoxy floor coating. In general, paint makes your garage easier to clean. Since concrete is porous, it tends to absorb things like dirt, grime, mildew, oil, and grease. Paint—specifically epoxy-based paint—creates a barrier that helps you easily mop up the mess before it stains or is difficult to remove.

Yes, but you’ll need to make sure that the old exterior paint is in good condition. Before painting over the old paint, clean the surface thoroughly with a pressure washer. If you are opting to paint a lighter color over a darker one, you might need to apply a tinted primer so that the old paint color doesn’t show through.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

Yes, you can paint vinyl siding. A fresh coat of paint gives your home an updated look without the expense of replacing vinyl siding. For the best results, look for paint with acrylic and urethane resins, as these materials adapt to the vinyl’s expansion and contraction in different weather conditions. Use a color that’s the same as or lighter than the vinyl siding’s current color, as dark colors tend to absorb too much heat, which can lead to warped or buckled vinyl.
