Chris and Antonio did an outstanding job painting the exterior of our home. Also, both had exceptional people skills. Jason Bertok was very professional and a great representative for Painter 1. Jason is the main reason we selected Painter 1 for the job. One thing my parents taught me. If you do not have anything positive to say about someone. Just say nothing. Have a great day!

Steven answered our estimate request promptly and impressed us enough to give the project to them. It was just our master bedroom but after 38 years we really wanted a great bedroom. Steven's crew were prompt, meticulous and quick. My wife and I are so pleased.
Response from Painter1 of Columbus
"A master bedroom is the first thing you see in the morning, and the last thing you see when you got to bed, therefore it should be great! We're thankful for your trust and so pleased to hear that we delivered upon your expectations!"

the manger Steven is very rude has no personality at all. They didn't finish job. hole. Holes not covered behind refrigerator. Grills and covers not put on in rec room. Three of there painters walked of job the first day and they said i said something to them that was prejudiced. They were from Mexico its really funny but i was married to a mexican woman for 20 years and have three children with her. I can't understand that lie. They were push real hard by Steven to finish the job. Very poor job . Please don't use this company
Response from Painter1 of Columbus
"We are disappointed and saddened to see this unfairly negative review. Approximately 1 year after we completed this clients interior painting project this client contacted us to report "streaks/stains on their living room walls". Prior to this, no quality concerns of any kind were reported upon project completion or at any point over the past year. This client signed off as satisfied and paid in full upon completion last fall. Finally, our post project photos (taken within 2 days of project completion) show no signs of streaks or the like on any surfaces and we perform a quality assurance review prior to leaving every project. Even with these facts considered, we honor our service warranty therefore last month we coordinated a time with this client to return to their home and assess. While we acknowledge the appearance of faint streaking on the lower third of some walls, we cannot identify the cause. Many potential causes can be considered that do not stem from our products or processes and while recently onsite we confirmed that the streaking appearance is eliminated by wiping the areas with a damp cloth. As to the rec room "grills and covers", the client is referring to 2 register vents and 2-3 outlet covers within his basement that he removed prior to starting their project. We attempted to reinstall these upon project completion but unfortunately the client said he could not locate them at that time. With regards to the "painters walking off the job the first day" comment, we would like to clarify. Painters were consistently present throughout the duration of this project however on the first day, one of our crew leaders did depart early and he requested that he not be required to return due to remarks made by the client that he deemed to be racially offensive. We will not go into detail about these client remarks, but we did honor this crew leader's request to not return to this project site and instead, we engaged a different crew leader on this project. It is unfortunate to receive this unfairly inaccurate reputational blemish."

Painted the cedar trim and pergola for our house. Didn't use drop cloths so some paint ended up on our plants and stucco. Project manager (Emily) was very helpful in fixing these issues. Good company that maybe needs better trained painters.

We had Painter1 transform our kitchen cabinets and island with paint. Rick and his whole team were super professional, timely, neat/clean, friendly, and did a fantastic job!!!! Every question was answered so quickly, and every detail from the first visit and estimate was clearly spelled out and discussed. Expectations were set on both ends and were ultimately beyond met by us at the end of the project! We were thrilled with the outcome using Painter1 of Columbus and would hire them again in a heartbeat and also highly recommend them to anyone.

We recently had our lake house and out buildings painted by Painter1 - Columbus. Rick and his team were just great. The project bid was competitive and very reasonable for the scope of work. Rickâ  s crew did a fantastic job prepping and painting. They were all super knowledgeable about the paint and application (cedar and metal ) and everything turned out exceptional. So pleased that we also used him to paint our stucco on our home in Columbus. We would highly recommend Painter 1. Columbus.

Painter 1 of Columbus did an outstanding job of painting the exterior of my hone. Trim and stucco. They were timely, professional, personable and the finished work exceeded my expectations. Several of My neighbors have since engaged Rick Dennis to do there homes and were equally impressed. Our homes never looked better. Would recommend Painter 1 to anyone looking for too quality and affordable painting.

We remodeled EVERYTHING in our home and ALL NEW ITEMS have paint spatter: countertops, cabinets, refrigerator, floors, door handles, showerheads, curtain rods, towel rods, sink fixtures, ADT sensors. EVERYTHING! He argues about any item brought to his attention. He is not s a painter and hides behind industry standards. No communication. No walk-through offered. Claims to have reviewed job and found it satisfactory. When we pointed out some of numerous issues, he argued with us. Went on virtual tour with him to point out most egregious ones like blue paint spatter along white baseboard and smeared pocket door from being closed while wet. He spent 2 days *remedying* over 80 issues he found. I took over 180 pictures of issues still un-remedied. I had to call other companies for estimates to clean up the damage that also included a gouged ceiling fan blade.
Response from Painter1 of Columbus
"We are certainly disappointed and strive so very hard to deliver the best service and experience for every client. Due to our respect for this customer, we have accepted no final payment, have refunded this customer deposit in full, and in the end, Painter1 has provided $7,194.10 worth of interior painting services at zero cost. Of course, this is a very troubling situation for us, as this customer feedback on the results of our work does not represent our actual execution... Touching on a few of these customer comments: we acknowledged that the freshly painted surface of a bathroom pocket door was blemished by a hidden protruding defect within the wall pocket that had previously scratched this door. We repainted this pocket door again but noted that it will continue to become scratched upon closing/opening until the inner wall pocket defect is remedied. The fan blade gouge was caused by a baseboard installer contractor (not Painter1) while moving long stretches of baseboard wood into and around their home whereby the sharp corner of a piece inadvertently struck a fan blade. In the construction industry, painting is typically the last service performed therefore any issues caused by a prior contractor are often left for the Painters to defend or absorb. Multiple contractors were hired and working within this client's home before and up through the first few days that our services commenced. This included contractors involved in installing new cabinetry, new showers, new fixtures, new baseboards, new trim, new vanities, new sinks, new drywall, and new doors that were prime coated by those installers. We also recognize much of the paint spatter identified by this client could not possibly have been attributed to our work due to the color/s involved (the spatter was not in a color that we utilized on this project). Not every fixture/furnishing within the home is new including the washer and dryer, ovens, most window blinds, smoke detector/s, ADT control panel plus sensors, and furniture (as some examples). Our work also followed the work of some drywall contractors, and they provide similar work and utilize similar prep products that we utilize in our own services. Paint spatter may also have been caused by the contractors that primed their new doors. Furthermore, and upon our arrival, the home (floors, counters, cabinets, etc.) were coated in construction dust and debris and it is very likely that many issues were pre-existing and could not be seen at that time. We always offer a final walk-through with each customer however this client stated they would remain out of the State until the end of the summer so they would be unavailable to perform a walk-through with us. As this customer has stated, I personally attempted to perform a remote virtual video review with them while on-site, however poor cellular reception made this impossible and this customer does not have WiFi. Still to this day, we have not had an opportunity to meet this client at their home and perform any type of formal review with them. As the owner of Painter1 of Columbus, and along with my team, I have personally visited this customer home and performed a detailed review of all surfaces and could not identify how this client's concerns could have been caused by our workforce. It remains unfortunate that we cannot have the opportunity to meet with this customer to clearly review and discuss each of their concerns in person. Our lesson learned going forward is we must meticulously identify and photograph any and all pre-existing issues upon our arrival to begin work within a client home, especially when other contractors are involved and when the client has stated they will not be present immediately before, during, or after we have completed our work. We wish them the best and hope in time they may appreciate the services we provided and recognize the value they have gained."

Punctual, professional, polite. Everything is cleaned up when the job is done.

"Thank you for your kind words, Judy, and we're terribly sorry to see that our services didn't deliver you a 5-star experience. We tried so hard to prevent every loose roof shingle granule from falling into the flashing valleys that we painted for you. Unfortunately, Mother Nature (wind) made this an extremely challenging feat. We're still going to swing back by to assess and see if another creative option exists to remove any remaining granules... Ultimately, we thank you for your business and for sending your friend our name as a referral! Our best to you and your family!! - Sincerely, Rick."

Extremely well done job! From prep to painting to clean up, I was impressed with the professionalism and quality over the 3 day job I had in my home. And I am thrilled with the product! Beautiful job, Iâ m especially happy with the stair railing (black hand rail and white spindles). And the vaulted walls of the first floor was a big effort, and they look terrific! I would definitely recommend Painter 1!

If you have a painting project - Painter1 of Columbus IS THE RIGHT COMPANY and TEAM for the JOB! Rick Dennis and his team did an AMAZING job and boy, was it a JOB! Prior to us moving into our new home, the Painter1 of Columbus Team painted the ENTIRE interior of our home. With a very tight timeline, they painted ALL woodwork, trim, doors, walls, and completely TRANSFORMED our home to fit the look and feel of our family. Rick and his team were absolutely phenomenal to work with as their quality of work, cleanliness, attention to detail and simply kindness and love of the job was a joy to engage with each and every day they were present in our home! We have 2 other projects we will be working with them on in the near future. Pricing is EXTREMELY competitive AND the guarantee of workmanship that Dennis ensures happens by the end of each job is nothing short of outstanding. Without a doubt, I recommend Painter1 of Columbus for ALL of your painting needs! Cheers! Erin H.
