Alden Painting

John and his team completed the work in a professional, timely, and efficient manner. Perfect job from top to bottom. John is a true gentlemen. True to his word, reliable and honest - with an excellent work ethic. In my opinion, hire him. You will be extremely pleased with his work product.

Clear estimate, timely work, skilled & friendly crew

John and his team arrived on time every single day for the three consecutive days it took to paint the entire interior of my house. Not only was John tasked with painting, but he was also asked to replace a lot of broken molding and baseboards. The work performed was truly exceptional and exceeded my expectations. I will be hiring John again this spring to do some more exterior painting for my barn, as well as some unrelated exterior work on my house.

We could not ask for a better experience with a painter -- Mr. Alden was prompt, efficient and clean. He is a consummate professional and a true gentleman. We had him working on our house while we were away and he sent photos of his progress with regular updates. We heartily recommend Alden Painting for all your painting needs.

All went as scheduled. Colors were nice.All was done in a professional manner. I would definitely hire John again.

They called me crazy because their work was substandard and I was also nit picking. Wow, how professional! Their contract was vaguely written. I was told the paint was included, then was told that I needed to pay for the paint, after I fired him. Then he involved the State Police. Their work doesn't meet up to what their website suggests. If you're looking for quality, they don't have the time because they have other jobs lined up. They show up late, leave early, and will expect to use your restroom, that's right, totally inappropriate.

The painting went very well. John Alden did such a nice job on a neighbor's house that I hired him to repaint our Cape Cod style house. The pressure washing and application of stain (Benjamin Moore) were completed in good time, with high quality finish on siding and trim. They took good care of the surrounding garden while working and cleaned up well when done. All of the team were very pleasant to have around. Overall an excellent experience.

John came, gave a very fair estimate and we figured out a good time to start the work. Every day they showed up on time and worked all day, only stoping to take a brief lunch break. Their work ethic was stellar, manners impeccable and their work is excellent. They even did some other small jobs for me while they were there! I even have them queued up for the next job.

John and crew were excellent from start to finish. John responded to all my texts, and answered every question I had . They went above and beyond in performing the job. John actually put different colors on our door and let us pick out the one we liked. He did the same thing with the stairs— he makes house painting fun! It was completed timely and they left the worksite completely cleaned up. My house looks awesome and I cant say enough kind words about john and the crew.

Good job, nice family business attentive to detail

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! John Alden, his son and his workers are A M A Z I N G!! We purchased our home six years ago. A really cool Stickley Bungalow, that was built in 1910 - a one story, somewhat 'rambling' (several additions, lots of angles), large home. With a lot of inside work to do, we concentrated our efforts - and our money, on this... leaving the exterior for 'another day'. Well, that day finally arrived and I went hunting on Angies List for a good painter. Instead, I found a GREAT PAINTER!! The exterior of our house was stained brown, actually, many differing shades of brown, as the various areas were no doubt done piecemeal over the years, by the original family who built and owned the home. Along with the solid brown stain, came lots and lots and lots of yellow trim. When I originally contacted John and he came by to check out the job and give me an estimate, I asked him to paint areas that needed it only... so, kind of like 3/4 of the house... sides and trim. As almost half faces away from the street and our side yard, I figured that I'd save some $$ by doing it this way. John gave me a very fair price for this original job, back in August, informing me that I'd be his final exterior customer of the season. He checked back often after this, making sure we were still set for the job and letting me know he planned to begin in late September. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans - sending lots and lots of rain - tough painting weather. John persevered, beginning the job as soon as he could and worked like crazy to get it done! As he was nearing that time, and the portions he had completed looked SO GOOD, he offered to do the whole (John will smile if he reads this), 'kit and kaboodle'... for a very reasonable fee. All I can say is WOW! Our one hundred-eight year old house looks gorgeous... absolutely beautiful! So, to recap: John Alden is a great painter. He goes above and beyond... arriving early, staying late... keeping things tidy... no mess, no drips, just perfect. We are 200% satisfied with John's work, his work ethic and his attention to detail. We wish we'd done this sooner ... but are so happy that I found the BEST PAINTER in Southern Vermont, to do the job up right. To anyone looking for a painter, to do exterior - or interior painting - do yourself a favor and have John take a look. Trust me, you'll be glad that you did! Last - he power-washed the house prior to painting, and included a marble patio and stone steps that are located in the back of our house. Both areas now sparkle! I didn't even know it was possible to get both to look SO GOOD! John did this without being asked to do so, he's just that kind of guy! And, at my request, his son hoisted/set up a pair of storm windows for me, with a smile. Nice people. Really, nice people!

I hired Alden Painting this past April to replace some bad siding, install gutters, and paint the exterior of my home. I am more than pleased with their work. The place looks great and I will definitely hire them again when the need arises.

Excellent job. John (the owner) was very responsive and always available. John was able to meet all of our wants and needs. Accommodated a color change after a room was completed with no problem. I have to say I was very impressed with the work, and will have John back next spring to paint the exterior of our home and our deck.

Received several estimates on power washing but was hesitant with hiring just anyone due to the fact of putting our home on the market. Aldenpainting was very knowledgeable and professional, hired him on site.

Great work! John and his son came when they said they would. Completed the job ahead of schedule and met all of my expectations for a painter. Would absolutely recommend and hire again!

It Went Very Well !!! This is a BIG deck 700 Square feet and a wrap around on pillars. I got a call back from John Jr. within 24 hours with an apology it was not quicker. (Other business sent me e-mails asking for photos or took a few days to get back). John was there the early evening of the day we talked and did the estimate. He went out of his way to get there as soon as possible even though it was no emergency. The price was upper mid range and the quality was excellent.The job included replacement of a number of 2 to 4 foot sections of decking that were damaged. Their protocol is to use a mold killer before pressure wash. They use ArborCoat stain which is high quality Benjamin Moore. Application was brush and roller which provided great coverage. Work was done when promised and area cleaned up at the end of the day. This is a family business and they care about the quality of their work. I would recommend them and am having them return to do some other work (carpentry and painting) on the outside of our house

It went great. Weather was not good so he had time from his exterior job. Came right when promised and finished when he said.

John Alden, the owner, promptly returned our phone call and provided a very fair estimate. John and his son were professional, dependable, personal and were very careful, deliberate and thorough. We couldn’t be more pleased with their work and the results. It feels like we have a new home!

Very well, we are very pleased with the work that was done. John the principal was easy to deal, with and very professional, we would recommend him to our friends and anyone who needs a painter.

Very timely in reply and giving estimate. Very professional. Communicated on when they would be there to paint and to do the work as we had pets we needed to make sure were secure. Really really appreciated that they got back to quickly to give us a quote etc and work schedule. Would definitely hire them again.

John did outstanding work and was very professional the entire time he was here. I was extremely pleased with the work john did both inside and out, he did such an incredible job, I would gladly recommend him to others. He is a true professional that are hard to come by nowadays. John went above and beyond several times while on the job; my dog got loose and walked through the wet paint on the deck, John quickly alerted me so I could stop the dog from walking through the house with wet paint on her paws, but he also helped with the clean up of the mess my dog made.

Alden painting did an excellent job. They were on-time, professional, fast and did everything we asked. I normally do the painting and I would have to say a little bit of a perfectionist. They sanded, primed and applied a couple coats of painting. They cleaned up everyday and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend you use them for your next job.

We could not have made a better choice and are extremely happy that we chose Alden Painting. Though he lives just over the border in New York and had multiple jobs going on at the time across the state line - John assured us that he would be punctual and begin the work as soon as one of the jobs was completed. True to his word- he arrived even days before scheduled. We found John and his sons to be extremely professional, efficient, punctual and responsive. The work that was done was of an excellent quality. They did a complete clean-up of the grounds after they were done. We were most pleased with the outcome of the job, which was completed quickly and expertly. We are very satisfied customers and would recommend John to other Vermonters in the greater Manchester area.

We bought a vacation home in Lake George, NY that needed a good deal of work as it was empty for 6 years. I found John Alden on Angie's List. John painted the entire interior of the house (3 floors) from ceiling to floor. He also is currently painting a screened in porch, deck and breezeway. Since I live 3 hours away, we had to use texting to coordinate the entire job. This could have been a nightmare but was anything but with John. John always lets me know when he will be working so I can let him in remotely and always promptly lets me know when he is leaving so I can remotely lock up and set alarm. We were very happy with the quality of John's work. He just doesn't paint, he provides valuable insight into color combinations which was extremely helpful. I would strongly recommend John Alden for all of your interior and exterior painting and power washing needs. He is a talented professional!

From the day we first met at the cabin until the project was complete the whole process was EXCELLENT!! If you need a painter Alden painting is the company to use.
