A former business name was Appalachian Painting. My wife and I are extremely dissatisfied with his work. Unfortunately, we did not begin to discover the results of Walker’s omissions and shortcuts until several days after I had paid Walker as he was leaving. Walker uses a common type of industry contract. The second sentence states: “All work to be completed in a substantial workmanlike manner according to specifications, per standard practices.” Walker did not follow standard industry practices. Walker did not cover our windows prior to spraying stain. As a result he coated our windows with a fine mist of stain. That is 33 glass sash panels of approximately two by four feet each plus two glass door panels. It took us many hours over three days to clean the stain from the windows. Walker also did not renew the caulking, as is standard industry practice, and despite my comments to him about the need for such caulking prior to him even writing the contract. As a result, within two days the new trim paint near some areas of deteriorated caulk puckered and could be peeled off with a finger nail. Moisture had evidently infiltrated the deteriorated caulk prior to painting. Some areas of trim that had been primed appeared to have not been painted at all and one end of the house and garage had areas of non-matching paint splotches of a cream colored flat paint on the white of the trim. The front dormer window trim, after painting, showed a spot of bare wood, barely noticeable from ground level, surrounded by cracked, flaking original paint. Light scraping enlarged the area to hand size. This area was part of the scope of the project. Despite working on adjacent trim, Walker managed to miss this one segment with his pressure washer, and while scraping and priming and while painting. As we discovered the problems with Walker’s work, I sent Walker several letters outlining the issues and enclosing photographs for illustration. After receiving the first letter, Walker returned and did a cursory job of painting the primed but unpainted areas and covering most of the mis-matched paint. While Walker acknowledged missing some areas of painting, he said he couldn’t understand how the windows could have been misted while spraying because he had rolled and brushed around windows, and he also couldn’t believe the new paint had peeled in spots; no apologies, just disbelief. Despite the peeling new paint Walker’s position is that he was not required to renew caulking because he did not write it in the contract. He ignores that the fundamental language of his contract requires: “All work to be completed in a substantial workmanlike manner according to specifications, per standard practices”. Caulking prior to painting is a standard practice. While I worked at replacing deteriorated caulk, removing puckered new paint, repainting and viewing up close Walker’s poor work or lack thereof I became exasperated. I sent Walker a second letter demanding a partial refund for cleaning the stain coating from our windows and for present and future (back of the house I didn’t get to) repairing of Walker’s failed paint and work he didn’t do. Walker sent a letter response that is a piece of work. In his letter Walker accepts no responsibility for anything and blames all of his shortcuts, errors, omissions and poor results on me; including his buying of one can of non matching paint. Apparently a Walker customer has no reasonable expectation that his new paint won’t peel within two days. I gave Walker until November 10, 2015 to remit the partial refund. Walker sent no refund, not even for the window cleaning. Prior to Walker we have had this house painted and stained three times without issues so we have a general idea of what should occur and what the results should be. Walker's bid was not particularly low to begin with. His results have made him very expensive. I give Walker an F for his poor quality work and for his refusal to accept responsibility and try to learn from his shortcut mistakes."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/somerset/dassoc-painting-reviews-437028.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Wild Prairie Homes LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Barbara D."},"reviewBody":"John was responsive and employees completed top notch painting work.

They even fixed the errors from our attempts to paint the areas in the past. Walls were fully prepped and all dents, holes, and other blemishes were repaired and sanded. The paint job was fantastic! The job wasn't finished until they were satisfied with it. Very impressive. Way past the "good enough job" that I would have done. They left the area cleaner then when they arrived, and even touched up the metal railings on the stairs. We had T & R do some painting for us last month too (not included in today's price of course) They painted a bedroom, and the cedar exterior of our home and did a great job, and that's why they were here again for this job. I've been very hesitant to pay for professional painters in the past. No longer, the results are noticeably better.
David and his son got the job completed as promised, I would highly recommend him. Cost was very reasonable. They did an outstanding job sanding and refinishing kitchen cabinets, painted ceilings and walls. They were very detailed and took their time to make sure we were satisfied as we are...
Fantastic! Jon provided excellent work and customer service. The job was completed in the time frame he quoted us. This was a very old bathroom on the rental home. Jon put in new flooring, repaired the toilet flange, repaired and replaced drywall, painted the bathroom and tiled the complete...

"Have used AA Painting in the past and was pleased. This past summer I had my ceiling sprayed and was happy with the how it looked immediately. 6 months later I began to see some cracking in the paint, but was not completely concerned. A couple weeks later it began to start peeling off like a river birch. At this time I called and left Don a voicemail, and sent an email. Waited a week to follow up again, still nothing. After multiple emails and voicemails with photos of the issues, I have not received a response. I was not even that mad as things happen, but to disappear when your work is being questioned has me really disappointed. When speaking with other painters they have told me this issue was due to too much paint too fast (coats not completely curing)."

Painting questions, answered by experts
You’ll want to wait at least two hours before you paint over a freshly applied caulk. This time frame is the bare minimum, however. If you live in a humid region or a cool climate, you’ll need to wait even longer. A good rule of thumb is to wait a solid 24 hours for the caulk to dry to be on the safe side.
You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability.
The two most common paint types are latex-based paint and oil-based paint. Here are some of the most significant differences between the two:
Latex-based paint:
$15–$60 per gallon on average
Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways
Dries more quickly than oil-based paints
More difficult to clean compared to oil-based paint
Oil-based paint
$20–$70 per gallon on average
Good for bathrooms, kitchens, doors, and trim
Easy to clean and holds up well against moisture
More likely to chip than latex-based paint
Requires good ventilation while drying
While no-VOC paints don’t contain the chemical compounds that are toxic when they’re outgassed, they can still have an odor. This is because odors can come from other chemicals in the paint that aren’t classified as VOCs. Again, ventilation is key, especially if you plan to sleep in the room on the same day as you paint.
High-gloss paint is the most durable of the paint finishes. Most glossy paints are enamel paint made from oils, which gives them that hard, shiny surface with higher durability levels. Less durable matte finishes tend to come as acrylic, milk paint, or chalk paint. So if you’re looking for durable paint, go for one with a higher sheen, as it will be easier to clean and ideal for spaces that are subject to damage.
