Exceptional Painting

Overall satisfied with the outcome..

Leondras and his team were wonderful to work with! They painted our primary bedroom and bathroom and I couldn't be happier with the results. We will definitely use them for future projects!

I have used the service many times for over 20 years. The quality of work was exceptional, dependable, they do what they said they would do, clean, they were meticulous with the work that they do, and explain what they needed to do so there was no surprises. They would come back again next week to paint my cabinets.

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 don’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, “you can’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.” Well guess what? That must be a mandatory line taught at cabinet refacing sales school. And like many sales lines, it simply isn’t true. So while Mr. Leondras didn’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 I’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 won’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 won’t find a better painter in the Triangle. And I will gladly wait until he can work me in. Thanks a bunch Mr. Leondras!

The workers arrived here at my new home in Raleigh and got straight to work. Scheduling was quick and easy and Leondras was polite and professional. Everything was done in less than 5 hours. It was a fantastic job!

I found Exceptional Painting on Angie's List, where they had a 5-star rating. Angie's List has never steered my wrong, so I rang them up to handle a re-painting of my family room and kitchen ceiling. Leondras and his crew exceeded expectations! They had my family room and kitchen sealed up like a CDC Ebola lab and re-did the ceiling in record time with no spills and no mess. When it comes time to re-paint my house, Exceptional Painting will be my go-to from now on.

Their work supports their name - Exceptional Painting! Once they started the project, they were here every day until completion. Their work is outstanding and the clean-up exceptional, I highly recommend Exceptional Painting! For real!

Exceptional painting did a great job painting a few rooms and a ceiling in our home. They were very clean while they worked. They were able to flawlessly patch a hole in the wall and hide a huge water stain. They were able to finish a little before schedule so that was a bonus. Overall I would definitely hire them again.

Leondras did a fantastic job painting my guest room. He is very responsive and communicative. The painting looks great and am looking forward to more painting jobs in the future when needed. He is a super nice guy and would highly recommend him. Thanks!

The owner, Leon provided a very through and detailed quote that provided us options for what we wanted to get done.

Great! Done in one day.

The owner came by for a quote on the day it was requested. Got a quote within 24 hours and it was quite reasonable in comparison with one other. The owner described the process (where every door and every hing gets numbered and put back in exactly the same place it was taken from) and he showed pictures of how the doors are sanded/primed/painted in his warehouse. He send me photos of any doors/drawers that were damaged to document where there were problems that preceded him. There were problems with slight, but noticeable gaps, in some of the doors - where the miter cuts in the corner of doors were not quite perfect. When the doors were strained, you never noticed, but painted white it was noticeable. So, he caulked those gaps and applied another coat of paint. The cabinets look fantastic - I think we'll double this investment when we sell.

Excellent painters and no mess!

Leondras and his team are very professional and polite. They come in and get the job done and clean up afterwards. I like how they use extra drops cloths to ensure no paint drips are on the floors. . I would definitely hire them again!

Three painters arrived and they were very detailed and could not have done a better job. They were professional and just did everything right. I would use them again for any painting needs I had!

They did an excellent job mudding and sanding everything first and their paint job was superb. Furthermore, I got great advice on everything else I wanted to do in the near future. Definitely recommend!

Professional with quality service.

It was fine.

Mr. Owens and his team did a wonderful job. I would most definitely hire him again.

The work went extremely well. Mr. Owens and his crew were extremely professional, friendly and a pleasure to have in our home. They paid close attention to detail and did a wonderful job in all areas. We would definitely hire again.

The job was done very, very well. This is the second time I have used Exceptional Painting and the quality of the work done is indeed exceptional. I would not hesitate to use them again.

best painter experience ever. I am very appreciative of their use of drop cloths, tape and paper to protect everything. Very polite, fast working and left the place clean. I will be hiring to paint the master bed and bath.

Leondras and his team were very efficient and professional and did a great job painting our kitchen and living room. They also repaired a part of a wall that had previous damage. Both rooms look great now!

Mr. Owens and his team from Exceptional painting did an excellent job painting my kitchen cabinets. The quality of their work made my old maple cabinets look brand new. They are now a beautiful off white color.

We absolutely love Exceptional Painting. Mr. Owens is no doubt a very busy man, yet he still makes us feel valued as the customer. He provides a prompt quote and works within our schedule to get the work done as quickly as possible. His crew is always professional and courteous, working diligently and swiftly to get the job done in a short amount of time. We also appreciate that it is Mr. Owens himself who comes to walk through after a job has been completed. He not only surveys over each completed room, but ensures that we, as his customers, are pleased with the final product. Clean lines, even coating, protecting/covering of our personal items, prompt and personal service, swift results, complete professionalism from start to finish...you can see why we'll never call anyone but Exceptional Painting!
