Exceptional Painting is the perfect name! Mr. Leondras Owens certainly lives up to the standard he set in naming his company. After receiving several quotes from painters and refacing companies, we decided to hire Exceptional Painting to refresh our natural wood cabinets. It was a big job that included a large kitchen island in a contrasting color and cabinet doors with glass panels, a built in wine rack, some odd table legs and six stools. Mr. Owens promised to complete the job in two weeks but having significant experience working with contractors, I knew that really meant 3-4 weeks if I was lucky. To my extreme pleasure, he started the job on Monday, June 8th (when he promised to) and walked out of my house with the job complete on Friday, June 19th. He provided updates daily and did exactly what he said he would in each update. When he was done, it was as if I had brand new cabinets throughout my kitchen and adjoining rooms. The finish quality is amazing and I have yet to find a flaw in the paint. Joints between cabinet and counter are flawless and my appliances donâ t have a single drop or smear of paint on them. Before hand, the cabinets were certainly showing their age not just in color, but in dings and damage from 15+ years of family duty. But after his careful prep work and meticulous attention to detail, my cabinets and doors do not show or act their age at all. In fact, they look better than we even dared to dream they would when we first decided to tackle this project. As we collected estimates early on in the process, all the refacing contractors we spoke to said the same thing, â you canâ t really paint the cabinets much cheaper than refacing, so you might as well go with refacing because you essentially get brand new doors and hardware for the same price.â Well guess what? That must be a mandatory line taught at cabinet refacing sales school. And like many sales lines, it simply isnâ t true. So while Mr. Leondras didnâ t provide the lowest cost estimate, it was substantially lower than all of the bids from the refacing companies. I need to emphasize substantially, as in less than half the price. So, when combined with the truly exceptional quality of his work, the relative value makes Exceptional Painting an easy choice for a painting contractor. While Iâ m here, I want to also mention that the entire team involved in our project was amazing (you all know who you are). We thank you all for the way you cared for our home and our family while you were here. In the future I will make one call (actually, he prefers you to text him) when I need to hire a painter. I wonâ t seek quotes from other contractors. I will simply ask Mr. Owens when he can fit me into his schedule, which should be extremely full because you wonâ t find a better painter in the Triangle. And I will gladly wait until he can work me in. Thanks a bunch Mr. Leondras!
