Description of Work: Ross did a fantastic job for us. Very professional, punctual, and careful about clean up. He painted multiple rooms for us, and even fixed some rough areas a previous painter left. I will most certainly use him again.

Description of Work: Ross was the best painting contractor we've ever worked with - he was professional, responsive, extremely detail-oriented & always showed up on time. What we appreciated most was how he went the extra mile (without our asking) to ensure the job was done right. His prices are very reasonable - we found Ross here on Angie's list & hired him to paint the interior of our home in anticipation of putting our home on the market. His excellent work makes our 15 year old home look brand new! We have found our new favorite painting contractor & look forward to working with Ross again.

Everything was perfect.
Description of Work: I had used Ross the year before to remove wallpaper and paint my dining room and he did such a wonderful job I had him remove the wall paper from one of my bathrooms and my kitchen and paint in December 2012.. He is a very polite young man and his work is excellent. He is courteous and prompt and cleans everything up when he is finished. I plan to use him agian in the future.

Ross came over to give me an estimate and I liked him immediately. The job was going to take approximately 2 weeks as he was going to do the work himself. I didn t quite like the length of time but he was able to work around the kids and I was able to do some cleaning and dusting on areas that don t get cleaned very often
Description of Work: We have a 4,200 sq ft two floor house and I wanted both the walls and ceiling painted. The walls tan and the ceiling white. I also wanted the front porch, side porch and screened in porch painted white. I got three estimates from two independent contractors and one large company. I made my decision not only by price but how the painter was going to work with me. I take care of my two young grandchildren two days a week and we use both upstairs and downstairs throughout the day.

Ross gave us the best price quote for 2 coats of paint. He completed the work in 3.5 days. He did the work and did not use a sub-contracted crew. He was flexible regarding the start date and once he started, he continued until the work was finished. He was very neat, cleaned-up each evening. He did everything to our complete satisfaction. We would definitely use his services again and, if we had found him sooner, we would have had him paint the exterior of our house when we had that done this past summer.
Description of Work: Painted two story foyer and family room, kitchen, eating area and upstairs hall and open office area.

I've had great experiences with A rated companies from Angie's List. Ross tops the list of best experiences I've had. Professional from the first call through job completion. Very quiet when working - you forget he's even in the house. Very thorough for every aspect of the job. We couldn't believe how well he was able to match paint where requested and just how much impact the paint and trim changes made in our overall house appearance. We used Ross's service in preparation to sell our house. We were lucky to sell our house within 8 days, and we feel confident that it was due in no small part to Ross's quality work.
Description of Work: Removed wallpaper from 4 rooms & repair walls. Painted 5 rooms, stairway, 2 hallways, trim for each, and windows within each. After we started, we added some work (trim and windows), so our final bill was slightly more than the initial estimate.

Ross came by to give me an estimate within 2 days of my first contact with him. He arrived on time to start the work and everything was always cleaned up nice and neat at the end of each day. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to help me make a few decisions on type of finishes to get (eggshell vs. flat) by listing out pros and cons of each. I plan to hire him again this Spring to paint my bathroom.
Description of Work: I hired Ross to paint the stairwell and kitchen in my house. He painted the stairwell and upstairs hallway (walls and ceiling). I also had the stair railings and banisters prepped and repainted. He prepped walls in the kitchen in the areas where I had started (but not finished) removing the old layers of wallpaper. He then primed and painted the kitchen.

Ross did an excellent job. We set up an appointment for him to provide an estimate. He couldn't make the original time but he called to say that he would be late. He showed up promptly to do the work both days. His pricing was excellent. It was $165 to do the floor bracing and $100 to do the bathroom fixes. I think the work he did looks great - it is perfectly seamless. Ross knows his ability limitations and will honestly answer any questions you may have. I would highly recommend Ross!
Description of Work: Improper caulking around 2 bathroom tubs had to be removed. Anchor screws around the bathtub needed to be concealed. Also, there were 2 soft spots in the flooring. Ross removed the caulking, cut off the anchor screw ends and mudded the area. He allowed the area to dry overnight and returned the next day to apply a second coat of mud, sand the area, caulk, and touch up the paint (that we provided). He also braced the soft spots in the floor.

Ross arrived promptly at 1:00 p.m. and removed his shoes before entering my home. He worked quickly and unobtrusively, but appropriately asked question when necessary. I was very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Ross did a number of small projects in our house: installed a new ceiling fan and moved an old one into another room, adjusted a running toilet, tacked and tucked a cable under the carpet in a guest bedroom, and hung a picture on a high wall in our living room.

Ross was extremely professional, polite and easy to work with. He came by to give an estimate in the evening which made scheduling a breeze. He gave me an estimate on the spot which was significantly less than other companies. Ross is very trustworthy -- we gave him a key on his first day here. The work looks great! He was able to get our ceiling very smooth and handled the skylight in the bathroom with ease. Ross even went above the call by scraping some leftover wallpaper in the bathroom that we couldn't reach (which was not in the way of his painting) and fixing the air vent covers which had been falling out for years. I've never hired a painter before but will definitely hire Ross in the future.
Description of Work: We had scraped the popcorn from the ceilings in our family room and one bathroom. We needed a professional to smooth out the ceilings and paint. The bathroom has a narrow skylight shaft.

The work went very well. Ross had estimated that the work would take five or six days to complete and that's what it took. He is extremely neat in his painting. Door knobs and hardware were removed to prevent getting paint on them. He taped trim and made sure floors were well covered. We were extremely pleased with the glaze work he did for us. This was his first time doing glaze striping but he practiced and read about the technique before he ever started the work. It came out great! When painting the porch, he took off all the screens and washed them before putting them back when he completed painting. He vacuumed the floors to remove any small debris that might be left. We were extremely pleased with his professionalism and plan to use Ross for additional work in the future.
Description of Work: Ross replied promptly to my phone call and was out the same day to give us an estimate. We wanted the master bedroom, master bath, powder room and another bath painted. We wanted to use a glaze affect on the bedroom walls. In addition, we wanted the screened in porch and the outside of several palladian windows painted. Ross's estimate was very fair for all this work.

Wonderful job! We were very pleased with his work. He painted two coats on the walls and ceiling and even added a third coat below the chair rail because two coats didn't cover the dark paint that was there. Ross was very prompt and pleasant to work with and we will definately use him again in the future.

Ross did an excellent job; the result looks great! He brought his own materials and was very quiet. In order paint the dining room ceiling, he draped the walls and lamps in plastic.
Description of Work: Ross painted the foyer, stairway and hallway walls along with a 30 foot ceiling in the dining room. Before painting, he applied drywall compound to nail holes and the drywall seams, sanded these areas and vacuumed the dust.

WE contacted Ross and 3 other painters listed w/ Angie's List to quote on the repaint of our Master Bedroom, Master Bath and Hall Bath. Ross presented a professional air as soon as he arrived to quote the job. Since we were obtaining 4 quotes, it took awhile to decide. Ross was well below the rate the others were quoting. I contacted Ross regarding the paint he used since we had an idea what we wanted and he was more than willing to use the paint we supplied. The job was done promptly and with excellence. I WILL use Ross again in the near future and have already recommended him to friends.
Description of Work: Ross repainted our Master Bedroom, Master Bath, and Hall Bath. The hall bath had a paper border around the top of the wall that had to come down. He removed it, patched the wall and re-painted. All work was 2 coats of paint. We specified and purchased the paint ourselves.

I had a lot of work to be done. As I called different paint companies for estimates, I was looking for someone who would be very professional, with the ability to correct the mistakes done by the previous company. At the same time, I wanted a high standard of work for this present job. I chose to get an estimate from Ross Tait because of the report on Angie's List. When I met Ross and discussed the job, I sensed that he would be easy to work with. His assessment and estimates were right 'in the ball park'. After his first few days on the job, I knew I had made the right choice. Ross was a true professional in every way. He was always punctual and careful in every detail of the job. Everyone who sees the paint job wants to know how I found this painter. I have already hired him to come back in the spring to do another job on the exterior of the house. Hire Ross Tait, you will be glad you did!!
Description of Work: Extensive wall preparation. Painting of complete inside of town home with some high ceilings. Preparation and painting of trim. Removal and placement of all hardware. Installment of electrical sockets and switches, with new ones. Laying of bathroom tile.

Ross was on time for the estimate appointment. His preference was to use an oil-based primer, which I know would bind better. But I asked him to please use a water-based primer since I am allergic to oil paints. We agreed on a price of $400 for labor and paint and a start date. Later, Ross called me to say he thought he had quoted me too much money and wanted to drop the price to $350. I said sure. I really appreciated him doing that. I have never had a contractor do that before. All the painting went very well and looks very nice. At no extra cost, he even touched up some of the wall paint from prior painters cutting in. Ross is very professional and well-mannered. He was always on time. He was a pleasure to have in the house, and we will definitely call him again when a painting project comes up.
Description of Work: Needed to have existing oil-painted crown molding and wainscoting caulked, primed and two-coated with latex paint. The 10' walls and ceilings didn't need to be painted again. So it meant lots of cutting in for the trim work.
