AMAZING! Paul himself came and quoted the job. VERY reasonable, almost questionably so, but my neighbors had hired 3 years ago and they were very happy and the house looks great. The subcontractor was very professional, frequent contact, and tidy. The house looks amazing. Neighbors have actually stopped as driving by to complement it! There was no part of the process I would say "I wish this was better/different" 100% satisfaction from this customer.

He meets with you when you first contact him; he comes to your house and once the price is agreed upon, he sends out his workers. If there are any issues after the job is done, he'll come out to take care of it. I've always been happy with his work.

I had used the company 3 other times for exterior painting in the last 15 years. They did a good job on the exterior of my home. I asked the owner, Paul, to come take a look at the interior of my home for some painting. He gave me an estimate for about 2500.00 for the interior painting. I asked if he could send a women out for the painting and he said he had guys that I knew that would do the work. I ended up finding another company who had a women that could come out for the interior painting. He then said he could find a women to do it all of a sudden. I contacted Paul to let him know and he said I was under contract and if I did not hire them for the interior painting there would be a $150 fine. I ended up having to pay it. I was very displeased by this and will not use their service again. I think Paul poorly operates his business.

The painter began well, then became completely sloppy. Paint was dripped on woodwork, on floors & on wood cabinets. Walls were treated & smeared 2 times broken in the house by the painter. It was so bad,another paint, company was hired to fix the paintings.

They sprayed the house as opposed to using a brush. The house looked nice after but had done no prep work. The put the paint on without cleaning the house first. After the entire house was painted, one of the guys mentioned we should have someone come check the chimney because the wood was rotted as well as the siding all around it. Instead of telling me before they painted they slapped the paint over it and told me after the work was done. The prep work makes all the difference and they do not do that at all. I would never recommend them to anybody.

He came and started using patronizing comments. I used him anyways as he had a high rating. Then his staff came out and those guys were great. He restricted his staff from doing work properly. The job turned out great because of his staff.

We've used Paul Powell in the past to pressure wash the house but not to paint it. This time we hired him for both. When he came to give the bid he gave me copies of his insurance and workman's compensation papers and itemized the contract (i.e. paint trim, paint doors, pressure wash house, pressure wash driveway, etc). They came to paint the day after hurricane Ike remnants blew through the Cincinnati area (September, 2008). We had a piece of siding torn loose and they replaced it for us.

The interior painting was about $900 and the exterior work was about $300. The price was a little high, however they did a very good job. The job was worth paying extra. He is very accommodating and nice. We will use them again in the future and would recommend them to others.

Initially I was pleased with the results of the work, but after 6 months, I am experiencing cracking and peeling of the paint on some window sills and bubbling, cracking, and peeling of the paint on a couple of door frames. I am currently in discussion with them regarding their one year warranty of their work.

It went great. The estimate was done quickly, they came on time, they finished up the job ahead of schedule and they cleaned up. Everything looks good.

The job went well overall. They came each morning as planned, worked hard but were pleasant. They moved all the furniture to do the work but moved it back each night so there would be minimal disruption. They even helped to re-hang some heavy artwork and a big quilt (we're both in our 70's so really appreciated them going the extra mile) without grouching at all. They made sure everything was as we wanted it before they left, packed up all their things and left us a lot of leftover paint for future touch-ups as needed.

Excellent work. The quote was very professional and easy to understand. I had to call about one item but they quickly told me what it was. The work was completed within a week of us approving it and the porch looks much better than before.

Paul Powell came out to give the bid and gave me details on what they would do. I spoke mostly to Kelly who pressure-washed the house and pavement. A third man repaired the step. Everyone at the company was professional, polite, and easy to work with. My house looks wonderful.

They also did all the prep work and pressure washing, as well as the trim in a different color than the exterior. They did a good job. Everything was great!

The finished product looked very nice, although I was under the impression that they would do more scraping & spackling of imperfections on the trim than they did.

NEEDED FOLLOW THROUGH WHEN IT CAME TO PUTTING DOORS BACK UP AND TAKING OFF A MIRROR INSTEAD OF PAINTING AROUND IT. THEY BROUGHT IN A SUB CONTRACTOR FOR THE DRYWALL AND THE COLD AIR RETURN VENT DOES NOT FIT, BUT THAT WAS A SUBCONTRACTOR. OVER ALL THE WORK WAS GOOD.
