Jim Cavanaugh stained our fence for us. We are so pleased with the final product. We've already had numerous compliments from our neighbors and people just walking by our property. Am so pleased. Jim painted several rooms in our home and again, we are so pleased with how each room now looks. Most of all, we are so grateful for Jim's professionalism from the start through the finish including the clean up. We would recommend Jim highly. As a fact, we already have!

Lots of people have good experiences with Jimmy, but I did not. He was painting the exterior of my house. He gave me a quote in the winter, and I thought I understood what parts of the house he was going to paint and trusted the quote he gave me. It wasn't until the last day of the painting, when the crew was leaving and said they were done, that I realized we were on completely different pages. It was deeply upsetting, and when I spoke with Jimmy about it he insisted that he had done everything correctly and offered to charge me more money to make it right. He seems to have good technical skills, but what was missing was: the sense that we had shared visions for the house, the communication/education skills to ensure that we were consistently on the same page, and the relational skills to find a solution that worked for both of us.

My husband and I just bought a house and needed most of the interior painted, we found Jimmy on Angie’s and we couldn’t be happier with the job he did! He was professional, flexible, and got our home done in about 5 days! He took care to make sure the colors matched the existing walls and asked us before making any decisions. He also made sure to clean up his painting equipment at the end of each day and left our home clean! We will definitely be using him again for our painting needs in the future!

Jimmy added a wall to my basement (framing, sheetrock, tape and mud, and paint). He worked conscientiously and quickly and finished ahead of schedule, and I’m very happy with the results. He was pleasant, polite, and great at communicating, making sure to ask each day if I had any questions or concerns. He was on-time each day and left the work area very clean. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. I will for sure hire him again and recommend him to others.

Jimmy was the star of our house remodel. He is meticulous and holds himself to the highest standards. He does such great work I had him paint every interior surface that we have. Thank you, Jimmy!!!

Highly recommend. We were looking for a painter for the stucco (upper) portion of our 2-story home and our two car garage. During the bid process Jimmy was impressively responsive to (and patient with) our questions. He provided the most detailed written breakdown of his proposed costs and was thorough and authoritative in his answers. We had to coordinate timing with a roofing company and a gutter company, and during the lead up to our project he remained responsive to planning communications. He not only stuck to his proposed schedule but worked with understanding and good will around difficulties caused by one of the other companies' failure to meet their own schedule. His work was thorough and professional and he remained responsive all the way through the final touch ups and cleanup. Would hire again and may have need to do so again soon for another project.

I am very happy with my newly painted garage! The quality of work is top notch. Everything was clear from the start, no surprises! Jimmy was onsite each day monitoring the project and was always prompt in answering questions. I look forward to future projects!

Jim did a fantastic job with my ceiling repair and repainting. The quality of the work he did was outstanding. Jim is very professional and a pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent. Jim kept me well informed as he proceeded with the repairs day by day. The project was completed on time and on budget with no surprises. I will be calling MNemonic Design for more painting projects that I have coming up.

I hired MNemonic Design to handle my interior painting project. My home now looks so wonderful, I’m having second thoughts about moving. Jim Cavanaugh is a real professional and provides outstanding value. He communicates well, goes above and beyond, and is very good at what he does. Jim took care of me and now MNemonic Design is going to be my go to place when it comes time to tackle another home improvement project. I’m going to recommend Jim’s services to everyone.

Jimmy is a top notch pro painter. He just gets it. Attention to detail, works to make sure the job is perfect and is just a wonderful all around person. We had the front of our house painted, vinyl siding and brick. He went above and beyond to make it perfect. Thanks again! I highly recommend for any painting project.

We were so pleased with Jimmy’s work. He painted the majority of the interior of our home and did a beautiful job. The job was completed in the estimated time and the quality of his work could not have been better. Jimmy was more than willing to answer any questions we had and did a nice job of cleaning up when finished. We would not hesitate to hire Jimmy again and highly recommend his services. You will be very pleased with his work.
