I’ve had many painting contractors working in my home; most were adequate, some were good, few were very good, but none were truly outstanding and exceptional - until now. Jeff and his team are now my go-to painting contractor. There are many reasons for this and while quality of work, cleanliness, on time arrival, and cost are obvious reasons, there is something in addition that Jeff offers - he sees his work from the client’s perspective and acts accordingly. He’s at the worksite each day, the first to arrive, and frequently works alongside his team - nothing shows team commitment more than this. He’s constantly monitoring the work and immediately addresses any issues. He also has a wonderful and dedicated staff of professionals. So look no further if you need painting done in your home (and he also offers additional services)!

The job was coordinated with our flooring company. The spindles were painted off-premises and brought to the house. The risers were painted with a scuff proof paint. The people who ripped off the old stair parts were not very careful and so the painters had some extra work to do with filling and sanding. They were pleasant to work with. I would recommend them to others. Dave was our painter. Jeff estimated and coordinated the job.
Description of Work: We had hardwood flooring put in and we needed to have the spindles and risers on the stairs painted. Also new moldings.

After months of contractors redoing our bathrooms, we were in need of painting in several areas of the house. Jeff came to our home one day after our initial contact and did a walk through with us as we made our list. He offered great suggestions and we were very comfortable with him. His proposal came the next day, and we happily accepted. He worked with us as we finished up the remodeling work and he brought his team right on time. The team got right down to work and did a phenomenal job... we were delighted with the sparkle repairs they made, and their painting was neat and beautiful. We would be happy to recommend them and will be sure to use them again!

The quality of the work is excellent, and the shade of white is giving exactly the effect I was hoping for. I could not be more pleased with the results of the painting job; Jeff Lawler and his team transformed a house into a true home! Jeff's courtesy, honesty and professionalism are top of the line, and his entire team is efficient and a true pleasure to work with. We are going to use Jeff for painting the exterior of the home, as well as the interior of our garage. Having been a homeowner since the 1980s, I can vouch that Jeff Lawler is the best painting company I have ever contracted.
Description of Work: We required the entire interior of our new home repainted. It was a complex job involving removal of wallpaper, repairs to the wall, and painting over multiple colors. Jeff and his team did a fantastic job. There was an issue with a bad batch of paint (manufacturing defect; things like this are rare but do happen). Jeff was amazing. He personally took care of repainting the area, and helped us get a refund from the paint manufacturer.

Jeff and team were absolutely fantastic. Jeff came in to give an estimate, and even talked me out of doing some expensive work on the trim which was in good shape in the home we just purchased. I also added some other areas (inside of closets, etc.). He also recommended using a new scuff resistant product on base boards and stairs, which is working great and looks the same as other paint. Jeff also worked with, and around the flooring folks who were also doing work. The whole house was painted first, then once floors were done, Jeff cleaned up their mess (floor stain on base boards, railings, etc.) for a very reasonable fee. I'll absolutely call again for future projects.

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job with our project from start to finish. During the preliminary estimate, Jeff was extremely thorough in his description of the work that needed to be performed which allowed us to better understand the itemized estimate to assess the work that needed to be done. We had extensive conflicts on our end during the project (coordinating work from another home, remodeling the interior of the house, planning a move and welcoming a newborn!) and Jeff was extremely accommodating with our schedules and worked around the schedules of our other contractors. Their work product speaks for itself, not only in the large picture but down to the details (e.g., refining corners and caulk around baseboard, wall repairs, ceiling repairs, etc). It's more than evident they take great pride in their work and it shows in our beautiful new home. We will definitely be working with them again!

I have had my share of problems with contractors in the past so I was delighted to do business with this fine company. They will be back to paint again!

He does custom work, paints furniture upon request. He removes wallpaper. Whatever the project is, he will bring in enough people so that he can get the job done within the timeline at a great quality. He is very flexible with our time schedule.

This is the first time I have written a review for anything. My wife and I hired Jeff after we had a really bad experience with another painter that we fired mid-way through the job of painting the entire interior of our townhouse. Some of our walls were in poor shape (nail pops, uneven finishing, cracks, etc,) and required a lot of prep work which Jeff did (vs. the fired painter who did very little of the prep work needed). Overall, Jeff and his crew did great work, were very professional and did a great job cleaning up at the end of each day's work. I cannot emphasize the latter comment enough as my wife and I spent on average 3 hours each evening (for 5 evenings) cleaning up after the fired painter (vs. 10 mins for Jeff - minor vacuuming). We had a great experience with Jeff and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a painter. Also, we thought Jeff's price was fair, especially given the quality of his and his crew's work.

We had them come out to paint our newly remodeled kitchen and bath room. Their quote was in the middle range of several we obtained. They came in, and completed the job promptly. We were very happy with their work, as we have a very high ceiling in the bathroom, and it was not easy to reach portions of the wall due to the placement of the bathtub. Once everything dried, there were a few spots that needed touch up, which they came to fix the day after I called them about the issue.

Hired another painter that had done work for us in the past, but I would like to say that just going thru the quote process with Mr. Lawler was a breeze. He's totally responsive, absolutely professional, price competitive, and overall a pleasure.

Jeff's team was great! They were professional, friendly, organized and cleaned up! They did a full 2 coats in 1 day! It was a transformation! I would absolutely hire them again. They even cleaned the light fixture and put in new bulbs for us. The guys were a delight to have around and I enjoyed their humor. It is terrific to have a team that enjoys working together.
Description of Work: painted a foyer, up the stairs, and a hallway. It was done in 3 colors, white trim, chair rails, box trim and crown molding. Ceiling and upper walls were a light color and lower walls another color. they prepped all the walls, caulked and cleaned the trim ahead of time. drop cloths were everywhere.
