Chris and his team at Decorative Touch painting were excellent! They arrived on time and worked throughout the day. Our home ended up being a bit more difficult to paint due to the condition of the cedar siding but Chris held to his quote, The guys did their absolute best to make our house look as good as it possibly could. My personal opinion was that the house looked great! But Chris sets the bar high and was upset that it didn't look even better. They used all the techniques including hand brushing, spraying, whatever needed to complete the job. I will definitely use Decorative Touch in the future.
I have high expectation for contractors I hire. Some would call me fussy. I would prefer to say "I expect value from my money". I DEFINATELY GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH FROM DECORATIVE TOUCH PAINTER'S
First I should say that I have had problems with exterior house painters in the past. Ever time I have employed them over the last twenty years. They were Slow, hard to reach, messy, h****** plants, sloppy paint drippings and just shoddy work.
Second, I was skeptical of spray painting.
Decorative Touch painting exceed my expectation in all areas. There workmanship was EXCELLENT. Spraying was definitely the way to go. The foreman was on top of all issues. Workman were pleasant to have around. I would happily recommend them to anyone and I certainly will use them in the future.
Walls were suppose to get 2 complete coats (kitchen only got 1 and in some places NONE!
However...Most of the trim was never sanded at all. Fireplace and stairway railing were not sanded and just painted over previously stained wood so new paint just peeled off with finger nail, horrible job. Bathroom was never caulked or nail holes filled or painted on brand new trim and also said they would have powder room completed first so I could have faux painter come but they only did 1 coat and I painted the 2nd coat myself!! Also quote was for eggshell in bath & laundry room but was done in flat. Ceiling in kitchen is ridiculous. I was told that it would be touched up after cabinets & recessed lighting were installed so on the last day Chris Porter said he did it but never did. There are so many runs everywhere and also paint brush bristles painted into the trim & brush strokes going every which way, cut lines and caulking are the sloppiest work imaginable.
I ended up sanding off the sloppy paint job they did and they were not happy and tried to get away with only repainting the majority of the trim with 1 coat. The new sheet rock is already cracked!!! The stairway looks worse than when they started.
They did not cover the floors and got paint everywhere all around the door jams and where the trim meets the brand new hardwood floor much of which will not come off. They left 1/2 full cans of soda, open chocolate (I have dogs) open cans of paint, and trash everywhere. We addressed the situation over and over and he finally sent someone new (Jason) to finish the job and his work was very good, unfortunately we didn't have him from the beginning and did not repair any of the previous damage. I contacted the owner a week ago about the cracking drywall and he told me he was out of town and to contact him next week (shouldn't he be the one to contact me?) but I called him Monday morning... he said he would get back to me and I have yet to hear from him a week later. I will not have him back, I am having the repairs done by a professional. Very dissappointed!
I did have them come over this spring to give me a price to stain and paint the outside of my townhouse, but they never sent me a quote, that is the only problem I had with them.
Job was completed in just one day - I was told it would be 3 days, but more men were added to the job and they did it all in one day!
Very good job; haven't found any mistakes at all. Walls and ceilings are covered evenly and thoroughly. Edges are perfect.
Very clean. Covered floors and furniture, picked up and cleaned up completely.
Very polite, friendly, and professional.
Will use them again when we are ready to do the bedrooms!
You can't go wrong with this crew.
