Great service. Jim's crew went above and beyond. They exceeded our expectations. They even did small things like painting the mailbox that was not on the original estimate.

The project went great from start to finish! Jim Valentine returned my calls promptly and provided an estimate within 1 day of my initial call. His pricing was competitive with other painters I had called for quotes. His workers do a fantastic job and are tremendously hard workers. They stayed late and got both rooms done in one day. In the "above and beyond" category, they fixed a door that didn't shut properly while they were here. They also came back the next day to hang a heavy mirror on one of the freshly-painted walls so as not to have the wall damaged if I tried to hang it myself. I look forward to using Jim Valentine and his crew for future projects -- both interior, and exterior!
Description of Work: Valentine Painting and Decorating painted 2 interior rooms: a dining room, and bathroom. The bathroom was tricky because there was a lot of cut-in work required, and this is an older house with plaster an lath walls, (so nothing is really even.) They also re-skimmed the bathroom walls to repair cracks and damage to the old plaster walls.

I was really pleased with this company. The owner was very professional and responsible which is why I chose him. He indicated to me that he had more knowledge about older historic homes which is important to me because my home was built in 1922. I wanted to make sure the paint job was done right and that everything was done as exact as possible. The work turned out great and I am really pleased with him. He has a warrantee and he told me to call if I found any problems. The price seemed high but it was probably a fair, average price especially because they did repair work as well as paint.

The team at Valentine Painting could not have been better. Jim Valentine provided a quote within a day of our calling him. The painting crew was ontime and very thorough in everything they did. Care was taken to cover all the floors and furniture, and the crew was careful not to wear shoes in our home. The quality of the painting work was outstanding, and the crew did an excellent job cleaning up. They needed to match the paint color since I did not have an original can from when the house was built. The paint they used was a perfect match with other rooms in the house. They were in and out in one day. It's clear they focus on quality, which is something I've not seen in other painting companies. I'll use them for any other painting needs that I have in the future.
Description of Work: Repaired drywall seams which had cracked due to house settling. Painted several large rooms with 22 foot ceilings.

Jim and his team are incredible. We recently had some built-in cabinets installed. The cabinets were already primed but needed a final topcoat of paint. We had contemplated painting the cabinets oursleves and had already purchased the paint. However, we really wanted it done by a professional as we were concerned about how the cabinets would look. We called Jim on a Wednesday. He promptly came out the next day and gave us an estimate. He scheduled his crew to come out on Saturday to do the work. They promptly arrived and completed the job that day. Needless to say, the cabinets look wonderful!! Jim's team did a fabulous job. They were very neat and tidy and the cabinets are beautiful! We also felt that the price was very reasonable. We paid $350 and we provided the paint. I highly recommend Valentine Painting. We will definitely use them again!

They did a great job. Wilson, the foreman is very nice and accommodating. The entire crew was very nice. In addition to what we agreed to have painted by our contract, they sprayed the window hardware and repainted the bathroom, when I was unhappy with the first color I chose, without additional cost. I have not found a single area in my home that they overlooked or messed up. It is a truly professional paint job. I highly recommend Jim Valentine and Wilson. We will contact them again this spring when we plan to paint the exterior of our home.
Description of Work: Sanded, prepared and painted walls in (2 story) foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, two hallways, loft/office, and master bedroom. Also spray painted popcorn ceilings in all of those rooms. Painted spindles and risers of stairway and spindles of the railing on the loft. Also painted kitchen cabinets. Spray painted hardware for windows.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Jim Valentine and his team are incredibly professional, courteous, timely and meticulous. I had the entire interior of my 1150 Sq Ft condo painted, including drywall work (repairing seams, holes, water damage). The quality of their work is top notch. Jim was always quick to respond (even when I changed my paint colors three times prior to them starting the job!), and was extremely patient and understanding when the flooring company I hired took two and a half weeks to do work they promised would be done in 4 days. Jim worked around their schedule and was flexible with me every time I had to push back our start date. They just finished today and I almost don't recognize the place. It is immaculate. I have walked through each room and I can't find a single flaw. His team of workers were fast and efficient. They were also very careful with my belongings (thank you!) and made sure to clean up each evening since I was still living in the condo while the work was being done. They finished everything in less than 5 days with not a single issue. This is a quality company. You'll pay a little more for this exceptional service, but it is worth it based on the results. I would have no reservations recommending Jim Valentine to any of my family and friends. Thanks for everything!

The completed job was exceptional. I have hired many companies in the past for paint and restoration work and this job was by far the most proffesionally done and the only one that I would say was done with perfection. From the start Jim Valentine was an obvious verteran and expert in his field. His consultation alone set the standard for whch all other quotes I received (3 from Angies list total) would be measured against. Jim is top notch and could be charging seperate fees for his color, design and project management work. I have been an Angies member on and off since we lived in San Francisco, CA 10 years ago. To date Jim Valientine and his crew of proffesionals have been the most satifying $$$ spent on any home project we have undertaken. Jim Valientine's right hand man and crew Manager Wilson.. has been working with this group of all "staff" W2 painters for years.. theyre like family and they all have strong skills in the art of painting. In summary I not only will hire them again but have enough confidence in Valentine Painting is the best value and quality that I will no longer use Angies list for paint work and will only call one company for future needs.
Description of Work: This job was far more extensive than any "average" paint job. I had a number of unique requirements that I realized the average painting company would not provide with the quality and standards I require. We own a 100 year old home in Dilworth and are very particular about how this jbo was to be done and had high standards for the completed work. 1) Painted all walls in home (2180 square feet) 2) Painted all trim, baseboards, crown, etc. in home 3) Hand stained two custom hardwood exterior doors 4) Touch up multiple location on exterior of home from previous exterior paint job 3 years ago 5) Completely refinish kitchen cabinets, 2 x bath cabinets and office cabinets 6) Refinish fireplace (aged finish), refinish hardwood mantle, strip and hand finish This job was a complete home restoration ALL of the cauk was removed from this home and replaced, many areas dry wall work was done, new taping, new trim. Paint was only 15% of the effort on this job. The degraded interior of this old home was restored to near perfection and brand new conditions I never thought would be possible, especially at this price.

The owner of the company gave me the estimate and oversaw all of the work being performed. I was very pleased with the entire process. There was bad weather and Jim stayed in contact with me to work around this issue. Use him, you will be 100% satisfied.
Description of Work: Painted back of house, garage floor, and caulked all windows.
They were excellent. They were very capable. There wasn't anything to dislike about them. They were punctual, professional and knew what they were doing. They didn't mess around and they did the work. They cleaned up and didn't leave a mess. I would use them again in an instant.
Description of Work: I used Valentine Painting in June for painting and wallpapering. They also fixed some problems left by a previous contractor including some woodwork and cabinetry finishing.

Door refinishing is an extremely labor intensive project that requires three to four trips back and forth to achieve maximum results.Exact time to re-coat depends on the days weather and humidity. I would like to personally thank this member for there cooperation in being home at different times on four seperate days to accomodate our schedule. Thanks again! Jim Valentine

Jim first came out to give an estimate and stressed that his goal was to provide quality work for a fair price. The price was a little higher than some other painters, but I am a stickler for getting things done right without a hassle. Jim's crew showed up every day on time and worked extremely hard. They snaded baseboards, fixed holes, primed walls , recaulked windows all day for 8 days. They were always proffesional and did anything we asked. Our home needed a ton of prep work including days of sanding. The team did it with no complaints ever. On final inspection they touched up anything we asked and never argued about contract or cost. Jim came by regularly and did several walk thoughs with me and my wife. I am so picky and could not be happier with the work. They truly transformed our house and I could not be happier. We did make one change to color and it worked out great. A little extra cost, but worth the money. I would definatley reccommend them to anyone and hire them again.
Description of Work: Jim provided interior and exterior painting. The exterior was pressure washed including window washing. Inside teh team repared cracked drywall, painted, and installed crown molding in two rooms.

Excellent overall experience. I got Jim Valentine?s name from Angie?s List, and I?m glad that I called him. We scheduled our appointment to meet at the house for Jim to provide an estimate. He a couple of days in advance to confirm the appointment. However, he was running a bit late the day of the appointment, but called well in advance of our scheduled meeting time to let me know he would be a bit late. He called again when he was headed to our house. Once he arrived, Jim carefully walked each room and made notes as to what our desires were. He pointed out potential problem areas and discussed how his crew would prep these areas. In order to prepare a formal estimate, Jim walked the house again on his own and carefully completed his standard estimate sheets. He then reviewed the estimate sheets with us and provided a firm estimate on the spot. Jim called a couple of times over the next week to see if we had any questions. We chose Jim for several reasons: genuine interest in the job, excellent communication, competitive price, professionalism and commitment to working with a set, though reasonable, timeframe. We couldn?t have been more pleased. Jim?s crew had a key to our vacant home, so they were able to work at their schedule, which often included early mornings and/or late evenings. They always cleaned up when they were done. The prep work was excellent, which is key to a nice paint job. Holes in walls were patched so well there is no evidence of previous damage. No corners were cut ? shelves were fully removed, recessed lights were loosened, all switch plates were removed, etc. Jim maintained regular contact with us throughout the process, and took great pride in the work of his crew. Our paint job looks terrific. We would highly recommend Jim Valentine for interior painting needs. You would be making a mistake if you didn't have Jim provide an estimate for your job.
Description of Work: We solicited bids from three painters to paint nearly 100% of the inside of our newly purchased home. The home had been lived in by a family of five with two dogs, and while in good shape, it certainly needed to be freshened up prior to our move in. We wanted most of the walls and most of the trim painted in a two story home. There was a month between our close date and our move date, so the painters would have the home to themselves.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT. ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT DO THIS JOB, I DO RECALL THE ESTIMATE. TO ADD SOME CLARIFICATION TO THE REPORT, THIS STAIRCASE HAD GOUGES AND NAIL HOLES EVERYWHERE DUE TO A CARPET THAT WAS REMOVED. TO MEET OUR PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS, THIS JOB WOULD REQUIRE TWO SKIM COATS AND A THOROUGH SANDING. MY ESTIMATE TOOK THIS INTO ACCOUNT. THANKS AGAIN, JIM VALENTINE

The job went fantastic! My house was a mess from the water damage and the dry out process. This made the work area a jumble of furniture to work in. The crew was wonderful about moving all of my furniture around, I was behind due to a broken hand. The crew couldn't have been more patient, helpful and pleasant. All of my furniture and belongings were covered with drop clothes and the doorways were sealed with plastic where sanding was done. Care was taken to properly prep walls and woodwork before painting. The crew cleaned up every day and left the carpet vacuumed and space orderly. They were very professional and I was very pleased with the finished results. While there were some difficulties with a language barrier the crew was wonderful!!! They took care not to let my animals out. They asked if I minded that they worked late, each day was 10-11 hours in length. They were extremely pleasant and careful with my belongings. They even repainted a window seat in my dining room which I didn't request. This made the job look complete in that room, they saw it and made the room look totally finished. The job was finished in less time than estimated! Jim came by and did a walk through to check details and make sure that I was happy with the results. Thank you for a very pleasant experience!

It went fantastic. They repainted some area around my front door which I didn't request. They noticed it and fixed it for me. There was one area that the owner wasn't happy about and he made his crew come back out and fix it which shows his dedication. They were very professional and I was very pleased with the finished results.

Jim and Kelly were wonderful to work with. Jim was attentive and conscientious with phone calls, scheduling, and any issues that arose. Kelly is very talented and has a great eye for color. Their painters did a great job with the bathroom ceilings and crown molding. It was difficult to find someone to take on the job of re-doing our master bath walls which had been damaged in places during our bathroom remodel, as they had been faux finished by a previous home owner. After meeting with Kelly, who actually did the master bathroom work with another painter, I was so pleased. She was not only willing to take on the job, but she had examples of her work to show us, excellent ideas for the finish, as well as suggestions for a new wall color. (Which we hadn't even considered.) She made a sample board, attempting to match the existing finish, in hopes of repairing the damaged areas of the walls to make the job less costly, and of what the new finish would look like over the existing one. Although the matching sample looked good, we chose to go with the new finish and color. (And we are so glad that we did!) After hours of hard work, we ended up with a beautiful new finish and color on our walls. We couldn't be happier with the result! Spending an extra $2,000 for painting on our bathroom remodel was not in our budget and was a bit painful, but after seeing all of the steps involved in arriving at the new finish and seeing the finished product, the cost was understandable, and we feel that this was money well spent.
Description of Work: Valentine Painting painted three bathroom ceilings and crown molding ($450) and re-did previously faux-finished master bathroom walls, giving them a new finish and color ($1,950).
