Douglas Painting

Exceptional, Doug Williams & his crew are the best, increased crew & work dates to meet our schedule. Absolutely the best painters, heartily recommend. Douglas will paint another home that I have.

This is my third return to Douglas Painting and I continue to be very supportive of Doug and his team. The quality of their work is exceptional. Their attention to detail is impressive. They are very careful with the surroundings including furniture and floors. And, at the end of every day they do a fantastic job leaving everything in order.

I am very glad I found  Douglas Painting on Angie's List two years ago! 

Doug has done interior painting for me before, so I called him again when I moved into a new place which needed painting. The walls were not in the best shape, with lots of nail/screw holes, and weird indentions all over, plus many, many drips from previous owner's bad painting job. Doug mudded and then sande d all the walls, & fixed a 1'X2' spot in the ceiling caused by a leak. He painted the ceilings as well -- the two large areas, which included the kitchen, dining room, and living room, and the downstairs stairwell, had vaulted ceilings, 20' at the apex. Doug and his son did an excellent, excellent job!  Before the paint job, friends coming to see the house the first time asked if I had done the painting. After the paint job, people ask, who did your paint job.  I've had other work done to this place since, and all the workers complement the paint job.  Doug's work is definitely worth the money spent.

The completion of this project far exceeded my hopes and expectations. Doug's bid for the scope of the work turned out to be  completely accurate. The quality of the work along with the attention to detail is exceptional. In spite of the rain delays they used every opportunity available to get the work done including weekend time. Doug was very helpful in guiding me through the color choice which wasn't easy given the multiple shades of gray available.

This is the second time I have used Douglas Painting with exceptional experiences both times. Doug is completely trustworthy and professional and goes out of his way to make sure the client is satisfied. It has been especially enjoyable to hear all the kudos from neighbors and people walking down our street.

I recommend Douglas Painting without any reservation.

Doug came promptly and gave me a quote for the two rooms. He was very nice and said he was very busy but would try and get me scheduled in the next week or two. True to his word, Doug and helper Kevin came the next week and got the job done in one day. They were very neat and everything was cleaned up before they left.

Doug came by to look at my bathroom and explained in detail the work he would do.  He was extremely knowledgeable and offered a few money saving suggestions.  He returned on the date and at the time promised to patch the ceiling.  We scheduled another date right then for him to return and complete the job.  He always showed up on time and completed the work.  I am very pleased with my freshly painted master bathroom.  Although his price was slightly higher than the other estimate I received, I felt confident he would deliver a superior final product and I was not disappointed.

We got 2 more bids of $1100 (Handyman) and $1800 (Professional Painting company) for the same job but selected Douglas Painting as he sounded knowledgeable and was pointing out things that made us feel they are the right choice. I received his bid in a text message for the overall amount and did not bother asking for a detailed bid and I think that wasn't a good choice there. 
One, our idea of choosing them over others was that we thought he is knowledgeable and we would not need to stand there all the time and inspect how things were going and they would do a quality professional job but what we found was that they would do everything that we would point out and specifically ask for but if we didn't point out things they would be left out. And after I pointed out several things in a few walls, he wasn't happy and said if you want to get that quality job you need to pay a lot more (which I totally didn't understand as I thought I had hired a professional painting company to do a good quality job). I felt totally wrong over my choice of picking the painting company.
Two, since I did not have a detailed written bid from them and trusted on our verbal conversation, he refused to paint the baseboard and said it was not in his bid, however we very clearly had a detailed conversation on everything (including the baseboard). At the end to settle things down I took the bitter pill and asked them to paint the baseboard in the master bedroom and kids room on the upper floor and leave it in other places, they eventually did it but not without giving us a hard time.

Doug's team did an excellent job painting at my house, they were prompt, easy to schedule with and provided a great service.  I am a new home owner and both Doug and Brian were very helpful in giving me quick tips and supplies for fixing some issues with plaster.  Doug was considerate of my costs and delayed the indoor painting a day in order to allow me to get a discount on paint (SW was running 40% off sale).  Brian helped me to down select my paint colors and was quick and efficient when working in the house.  While painting the eaves Brian was able to identify some areas where we needed mortar work done for home maintenance - which I greatly appreciated since I'm never on a two story ladder I can't see issues near the roof.  
We had a difficult time previously scheduling this outdoor work, perhaps because it's not a huge job - but scheduling was easy with Douglas Painting.  Additionally, other providers indicated that they would be unable to scrape the wood by hand and would use a power washer instead to remove old paint from the eaves - Doug's team did all the scraping and calking by hand and took great care managing the old wood/ old house.  They were prompt in scheduling to meet with me, when timelines needed to change Doug called and worked around my schedule to re-arrange meeting for the quote.  Doug provided me with a quote and even provided a discount at the end of the job because his team was able to complete it in less time than he originally estimated.  I felt the cost for work was fair and the team was honest.  My neighbors have already contacted Doug to provide an estimate for work on their house.  
Thank you Douglas Painting.

The experience with Douglas Painting was outstanding. Doug is very professional, gives bids and makes knowledgeable suggestions and all in a very timely manner. Besides doing an excellent job with the painting, they were very careful in moving the furniture and putting everything back. In addition they were meticulous in cleaning up including the floors! They worked very hard and did not waste a minute. Plus the pricing was more than fair.

I recommend Doug and his crew without reservation. They rightfully take pride in their work.

Doug and the crew arrived promptly each day and took steps to make sure everything was covered including floors, steps, etc.  After each day's work, they were meticulous about cleaning up so that we could resume normal life in the evening.  They worked tirelessly each day, even touched up some paint on a ceiling in another room which was not in our agreement and at the end of the job, they dusted and cleaned all the woodwork, checked the floors for possible drips of paint and if found, cleaned.  Doug's attention to detail is amazing.  I will definitely call him again to paint a couple of other rooms in the house come fall.  Overall, it was a great job!

Did a great job of matching the existing paint colors. Beautiful paint job! Faux finish is a great match to what was already there!

He and his crew were very punctual and courteous. Doug was very responsive to all of my questions. 

Used him for exterior house, window and shutter painting last Fall. They power washed the wood siding and as they painted they opened every window to make sure it was not stuck. Would use him again. Good guy!  

The work was very well done, and looks great.

Did an amazing job, scraped and mudded old paint job; gave good advice on selection of paint. Smooth lines and clean look. Respectful and nice to work with.

I called Douglas Painting because of all the great reviews on Angie?s list.  Doug came by a couple
of days later to give an estimate, and was able to schedule the work within a week.  He and Brian arrived at the
scheduled time and completed the work within a day and a half as promised.  They are both professional and friendly.
I could not be happier with the job they did.  They also cleaned up and put everything back in place.  My dining
room, hall and living room look great.  I would definitely use Douglas Painting again and would recommend them to others. 

I was renting out two bedrooms in a house and needed a paint job done 3 day before the renters moved in. Doug and his team had an available time open and responded quickly to my requests. Not only was Doug professional, but he was also timely. In the end, he did a quick job accurately to my specifications and with no hassles.

Doug and his crew were awesome.  If I could give them an A+ rating, I would.
My house was to have been painted before I moved in but it didn't happen -
by someone else, not Doug.  He was one of the very few painting companies
that returned my call.  Came out for an estimate exactly when he said he would
and was on time.  He could start in a few days and did and arrived 10 minutes
early for the job.  His crew of guys were great - worked hard, were very
courteous and had a sense of humor.  The job was done in one day and Doug
and his crew went the extra mile and finished repairing one wall that hadn't
been sanded before painting started.
I would certainly use them again.

It went wonderful! I was very, very pleased. They were very kind. They came out to do the work on short notice. They worked efficiently, cleaned up, and there was no mess afterwards.

I highly recommend Douglas Painting.  They will be the first people I call for any future painting needs.  I contacted a total of 7 painters before deciding on them.  Their prices were very competitive.  They took my initial phone call immediately.  They showed up on time for the initial meeting and provided me a quote the next day.  They were able to book my job within less than 1 week.  They showed up on time the day of the project and did a great job in a timely manner.  I can't say enough good things about Douglas Painting!

The response to my initial call was prompt.  His understanding of the problem was immediate, the towel bars needed something behind them stronger than drywall.  He gave me a solution and was very prompt in getting back to me on price and when he could get the painting done.  He and his partner were at the house when they promised, and completed the job quickly.

Doug and his team were absolutely fabulous!   They arrived on time, were thorough and the painting was meticulous.  I had no concern whatsoever about passing the key to my house to Doug.   I would use again in a heartbeat.  

Great experience.

I've always done my own painting, this is the first time I hired a professional.  I've always felt it's one job I can do and why pay for it.  However, I had several areas in ceiling and walls that needed repair I couldn't do, and I was pressed for time to get the job completed in time for floor installation.  Doug is great to work with, very professional, and definitely worth the money.  The painting job was great, as I would expect, but Doug and his crew also did an amazing job fixing two previously patched ceiling areas perfectly.  He also fixed aother part of the ceiling between rooms that was sagging due to the house shifting over the years.  They had to go into the attic to shore up the area, and now the ceiling looks perfect.  Wow!  I've had two other "dry wallers" look at it and tell me they would get back to me and never did. I'm very happy with the job Doug and his crew did and would and have recommended them to friends and family.

He came out to do an estimate the day I called.  I had a time crunch as I was moving.  He had another job that was finishing early and was able to do the two days work for me during the same week.  They did an great job.

Doug was very professional and easy to get along with from start to finish. Everything was completed as promised and actually came in under the bid. He was also very helpful in recommending other trades in preparing the condo for sale.
