Dunn Painting & Papering

Their attention to detail was amazing, fixing every nail pop, ding and crack. Will and his son are extremely efficient, accommodating and professional. Their work is impeccable. I would hire them again without hesitation

In a word, "exceptional!" I have worked with a multitude of contractors for different projects in the home. When it comes to painting, Will Dunn and his team are exceptional and world class in every respect. I have lived on the east coast, west coast and in two countries overseas. Will Dunn is, without question, the best of the best I have encountered anywhere. Will is professional, thorough, efficient, dependable, precise in forecasting an estimate both in cost and time to completion, is clean (before, during and in the wrap-up of any job he takes on) and has high integrity - something on every homeowner's mind when an outsider is working in one's home. He has great recommendations to offer as considerations for any project. Ask for his opinion and you'll receive superior advice. Above all else, he takes pride in his work and understands that any job may be the first of a multitude to come - especially in the world of painting and papering. And in that regard, Will doesn't view the work he takes on as the "next job" but rather, a client who today can become tomorrow's reference.

Mr Dunn is so reliable and honest wonderful job!!

We contacted William, who came and promptly provided us with an estimate. Although on a short notice, William accommodated us with the days when he came to work. Everything was done in 4 days. The work was completed with much care and attention to detail. Everything was cleaned and left in proper order at the end of the job.
William is a professional and we will definitely use his services in the future, with the next step in our house improvement.

Will is a total professional, a fair and honest businessman, and a caring individual. Anyone would be very fortunate to be able to contract him for a job.
Will and his sons prepared our house for sale condition and were always on the lookout to help us save money in the process:
For example, he worked along with us to use the paint we already had (and he's actually a wizard, I believe, in getting the amount of paint to stretch to complete the job!). He used top-of-the-line lambswool rollers to do the job. His spackling was a work of art! He would suggest whether a 2nd coat was absolutely necessary or not, for coverage.
He knew how to juggle his time to go from one room to the next to best utilize his time; he is hard-working and does his work ethically, for a higher purpose.
I found his work to be beautiful and meticulously neat and his pricing to be extremely fair (please notice above with his "cost" category that I put an approximate cost for their half-day or day of work for our type of job; their work for us was spread out over time, based on when we were available).
Will and his sons are cheerful with each other and the customer, and they seem sincerely to enjoy what they do! What more could you want than that?

Tarped all areas he was working on. Taped area not to be painted. Painted all doors and moulding with the most beautiful Hi Gloss paint called Advance from Benjamin Moore. From start to finish once again this man personified professionalism. Tarping everything so paint didn't get on surfaces where it wasn't supposed to be. Sanding where necessary, caulking seams to make joints seamless. His finish trim work was impeccably done. Which brings us to the wallpaper installation.
Before I move on I have to mention the doors he painted. We were ready to get new doors for our 30+ year old home but Will Dunn made them better than new. There is not a brush stroke anywhere. The Benjamin Moore Advance Hi Gloss paint and Will Dunn's expertise made these doors look better than when they were new. It means a lot to have a quality paint and an expert hand doing the job.

I picked out a pattern that looked like a faux stone wall. The install started on either side of my entrance door and ran up the wall to the second floor. He did both sides of the staircase and an accent wall in the foyer. It was an intricate match pattern and when all was said and done it looked like I spent thousands of dollars having a stone wall put up. Prior to the install he measured the wall and told me exactly how much paper I would need to eliminate waste. He was right on the money. No additional costs for buying too much paper. When I enter or guests enter my home now they are absolutely amazed at the transformation from the wallpaper. It looks like a totally different home. Seams are invisible and the job is guaranteed for life. I will have this company back when I start on the downstairs. DEFINITELY

I didn't expect to have to use the services of Dunn Painting and wallpaper so soon. Since before finding this great contractor we had just finished painting the whole upstairs. Glad we did find him and once again his professionalism was beyond reproach. He tarped all floor surfaces before starting. Pulled nails that had popped in ceiling and replaced with screws so it wouldn't happen again. Spackled, sanded and repaired all damaged areas. Painted all the ceiling with Benjamin Moore ceiling paint which was included in price. He did such a nice job again that we decided to change the color in another room and have him return again.

.He started the project buy moving and covering every piece of furniture in the room carefully with tarps and furniture blankets. He sealed off the opening to the adjoining bath to eliminate dust cleanup. He respackled the wall and then sanded it. He made very good use of his time management. While the spackle on my wall was drying he went to another job then came back a few hours later to start the sanding process. When the wall was finished and primed for the addition of the wall mural you couldn't even tell there had been a window there before.
He took his time with the mural installation and with the time he spent and the necessity ton pay close attention to detail I couldn't believe he was only charging me $200.
The finished job was everything I hoped for and more. Everytime I enter the bedroom it nis like entering my own private relaxing villa on the Amalfi Coat of Italy.
Would definitely use this company again.

Job from start to finish was great....could not have asked for better work and better price. He was very prompt with a house visit to bid the job and turned the estimate around within 2 days. He was lowest of 4 bidders and was the most accommodating in terms of schedule, additional requests (during the work), and advice as to what can be done to save on costs. He cleaned up at the end of each day and after the work was completed. He was spotless and the paint job was completed with pure perfection. Do not hesitate to use Bill.

He is a great guy. He is meticulous and organized. He doesn't do badly on the paint. He does an excellent job. He is thorough. He is very personable and customer oriented. He knows his business.

He was wonderful! We are so grateful to Angie's List for having found him.
He gave us an accurate estimate and a good price, worked diligently and was very detailed oriented. He gave the wood (because they were old) three coats plus the primer just to make sure that it would look great (the windows and trim are very old), and they do look terrific -- we were amazed at their new appearance.
He was incredibly neat and clean -- there were absolutely no drops splattered anywhere on the house -- we can't get over how he was able to paint the windows without any paint spilling over onto the glass, or on the siding (I would have made a mess, but I'm not a skilled professional like this painter).
And he was able to do the entire house on time despite a considerable amount of rain -- he just showed up whenever the weather gave him a break (and he worked long hours to take advantage of the rain-free opportunities).
He was also very friendly and pleasant to have working around the house, and did not disturb our normal routines and comings-and-goings. [and for those of you interested, he didn't smoke and leave cigarette butts all over like some workmen might] He always cleaned up after -- we never found any sign of anything left around to even show that he was there (except for his great work).
I can't think of any negative criticism -- he and the work he performed was just fantastic in every way, and we are really glad to have found him. Moreover, we plan to use him again later on to paint the interior of the house as well.
THIS IS THE GUY TO HIRE -- you don't have to look elsewhere!
And I am also going to try to nominate him for that special status on Angie's List -- I can't remember what you call it, but it's like an Honor Roll of some sort. I have to look into finding out how to do it -- he certainly deserves it! We've never had a better contractor, ever!

I would choose this painter first! I have had my interior painted more than once and so I know the difference between a bad, fair, good and great job! Will Dunn painting deserves a superior rating. I was looking to have interior painting done and wallpaper removed. I received three estimates all of which were about the same, however Will had something extra. He came with written recommendations and he was very professional and knowledgeable. Will provided a detailed written estimate that included a timeframe for the job from start and finish. He came on time to the job on the first day and immediately began to work. He began by immediately protecting my furniture and floors and before I left for work had done an excellent job of prepping one of the rooms (which included removing wallpaper border). When the job was done, the superior qualify of his work was undeniable. Imperfections were repaired and a hole I thought could never be patched looks as if it never existed.
When I attempted to pay him for his work after the job was done, he told me we would come back in a couple of days. He wanted me to be sure that I was satisfied with the job he had done before receiving payment. I was floored, yet very pleasantly surprised. I am not sure if he handles all his jobs this way but I was happy he did it for me. When he came back to collect his fees, he made me aware of a plumbing issue and then spent time to help me try to repair it. Will Dunn’s work speaks for itself; however the professionalism, on-time schedule and demeanor put him above the rest. I would definitely recommend his services.

William Dunn came out to provide an estimate and gave us the quote before he left. His price was the second lowest of the 4 quotes we received. We chose William as we had received a referral from a co-worker and knew that he would be on site the entire time to supervise and paint. He and two other experienced painters arrived on time and completed the job on budget and in three days, versus the four days he had estimated. They had a plan worked out to get the most painting done possible in a day. They put two coats of paint on the walls and primed and painted the doors and trim. They were very conscious of finishing an area quickly to allow access back into that space (ie master bedroom). The end result is beautiful and I would definitely recommend William and his crew.
