Scott was amazing from the day he provided estimate to the day of completion of project. He was clear in setting up expectation in terms of time, budget and expectations. At completion of project we paid him instantaneously and later called him since some of our personal projects which were not part of estimates were not done. He promptly came over and addressed those also for us without any fuss. After few days he followed up to ensure our satisfaction. note this was after full payment was made. You rarely see such due diligence from service providers.

This project went so much more smoothly than I ever expected. The painters arrived on time, did an excellent work, professional, respectful. They were efficient and very careful and neat when painting was completed. They took great care to remove all their tools and equipment and put my house back in order. They finished my project earlier on plan. I will highly recommend them for future project.

Big job! Took a bit longer than anticipated, but our home was totally transformed and we are beyond pleased. Scott spent a considerable amount of time with us before, during and after the job to ensure everything was managed and completed to expectation. We would highly recommend Scott and his crew!

THANK YOU SCOTT FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!! Scott, your professionalism and an eye for details was a welcomed experience!! Your team arrived on time each day and worked full days to ensure our project was completed within the scheduled timeframe. They were easy to work with and very responsive to the changes we make throughout the process! AND..... It was very good to see that after finishing our project... they made sure the all the areas effected were cleaned up! I will definitely be using Scott's painting services again!! Thank you for the GREAT job you and your team did at our home! Jim & Mattie

Very good process all around. With some pictures and text exchanges, Scott was able to give an estimate that was very reasonable. As with many competent painters these days, their availability was out a month or so but that worked well with my schedule. Carlos and his crew were efficient and did a good job of taking time to prepare the area for painting. I was impressed with how they really seemed to enjoy the work they were doing. The quality of the work was great and they were very receptive to addressing any of the minor issues that come up with any paint job. I would definitely use them again if I have painting needs in the future.

Stop looking!! You found your painting crew! I learned about Scott and Upton painting on Angie's list, and I had 4 painters bid on the (many) jobs I needed done. In short, these guys were great. I handed them the keys to the house...and they got it done on time and under budget. Highly capable... and they have the highest character/integrity of any painters I've ever come across. They pointed out a mistake even before I noticed it and they came back to make it perfect. They are committed to doing things the right way at the right price. I give them my highest ranking.

Amazing job from the initial meeting with Scott to the painting completed by Steve. Scott stopped out quickly after the request was made. He was prompt and professional. Extremely fair pricing. Steve showed up on time and did a excellent job painting five rooms and filling in cracks, etc. I will hire them again. Thank you Upton Inc.!

My old walls and ceilings had quite a few cracks! They were expertly repaired. The crew was very polite and professional. Scott is a prompt and good communicator. I really appreciated his low key demeanor. There was a lot of work to do, and they did it well without any drama, adhering to my schedule and needs. I'd hire them again.

Scott and his crew were punctual, professional, and extremely friendly. They completed the job in the time frame they quoted, and the outcome was fantastic! Best staining/painting job I have ever had done to one of my houses. The price he quoted was the price charged, and believe me, the price was extremely reasonable, especially given the outstanding attention to detail and the quality job he and his crew completed.

Steve took mud brown ( previous owner had painted ) cabinets and turned them into gorgeous off white enamel cabinets that literally brightened the whole top floor! Gorgeous job and great to work with. Upton is a superb company and I would highly recommend. L Scott. Eagan Most important to mention is that Scott, the owner, is probably the nicest person I have met in Minnesota since I moved here!

Scott and his team are responsive and do a good job. I have had Upton. Inc. paint my personal home interior/exterior, enamel existing wood work, paint multiple rental properties, strip existing ceiling texture and apply knock-down ceiling texture. They are professional, responsive, use quality products and their finished work looks outstanding. Pricing is fair and they always clean up well after they are done. I would highly recommend Upton, Inc. if you are looking for a quality professional painting team.

It looks fabulous now and we couldn't be happier! Scott worked with us to do the job when our family was out of town, which wasn't necessarily convenient for him but we have 6 kids and he knew far better than I that it would be too hard for us to be here with the smells & mess. They did double time to get the job done before we came home, so we could have a functional kitchen right away. Scott was patient and prompt in seeing that detail things we requested get taken care of to our satisfaction. We already have Scott's team scheduled to come back in January to do some more painting for us, so that speaks to the quality of their work and our experience!
