Dan works with a team of very skilled professionals who are prompt, courteous, professional and very good at their work. Painting, drywall repair, woodworking, any job is easily handled. We have a large dog that often goes in and out of the house during the day. Dan't team was more than happy to see to it that she was taken care of. Dan is also a master at including things in the scope of the work that weren't in the initial bid (freebies) to ensure that the work is professionally completed and that you are 100% satisfied. Do yourself a favor. Don't waste time trying to find other contractors for your painting, powerwashing, woodworking etc. needs. Just call Dan and I guarantee you will be very happy with the results.
I have contacted Dan by phone, text and e-mail and always received a prompt answer. He goes out of his way to be on time for appointments and when he tells you he and his crew will be there at an appointed time, he will be there and you can take it to the bank. In addition, they work the job To Completion. No breaks in between days, no disappearing mid-day. His knowledge of the paint products available allows him to provide you with the best recommendation for getting the desired result.
While there are many people who can paint your home, Dan and his team are professionals and stand out from the rest. They do excellent work and very importantly, if a problem arises months later, then he is there to correct the issue to your satisfaction.
1. Everything that should not be painted was covered.
2. They cleaned up after themselves each day, were quiet and courteous.
3. If windows leaked when they power washed they caulked them before painting.
4. If there was bare wood showing someplace they primed it first.
5. They removed door knobs to paint the whole door, something other painters had not done.
6. They offered free of charge to paint a mail slot and light above the single door to match the door's knob.
7. They not only sprayed on the first coat but back rolled it as well making sure the paint got in all the grooves, and made sure the bottom of the boards were also painted.
8. All the moldings were carefully hand brushed, and each was given two coats.
9. We have some long vertical windows in the front that we wanted to accentuate. They were not framed with an extra trim piece across the top but we needed that to look like it was molded to complete the "look" of the finished product. Dan's crew was able to paint it to look as if it was trimmed with a molding piece. You can't even tell that it is part of the same board that is painted the house color.
10. They were very careful with our flower beds, nothing was damaged.
11. They started when they said they would. They called if there was any change in plans. Kept us very well informed.
12. Dan was very prompt in returning any calls and addressing any concerns we had.
We were very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend D & S Painting to anyone looking for a contract painter.
"we did not perform any services at this address. There is another D and S painting company in Oregon City.. I'm not sure how this review ended up on my site"
We saw Dan?s sign in front of a house in our neighborhood--the exterior of which had just been painted. We immediately recognized the high quality of the work. By the time we went back to copy the info. the sign was down (due to HOA restrictions). Lucky for us, we were able to speak to the homeowner, who gave Dan & his crew a glowing endorsement, and said she would be hiring them paint her interior this winter. We got Dan's contact information from that home owner.
The moment Dan looked at our project, (which included clean-up & repair of a terrible paint job by a previous owner that was over-painted onto fixtures, ceilings, and cabinets) he told us how his crew would clean it up, repair wall damage before painting, and cut the new lines between colors. With just a few more comments, we knew he was our guy.
He worked closely with us and the paint company to match our paint colors, recommended where to make the breaks between colors and many other extras. During the course of the work, he often shared his expertise regarding other issues with the house that we will need to address over time.
Unbelievably, he had his proposal to us within six hours and, because of a turn in the weather, was able to start and complete the job the very next week. The entire interior was completed in a little over four days. One of the other companies did not even have a proposal to us for five days and talked about scheduling the work a month out (after the carpet was laid). He agreed with our concern that it would be best to paint before laying the new carpet, but included up to two hours of touch-up painting after carpet installation in his proposal. When we called him after the carpet was installed, he had a crew here within five hours to complete the job.
His crew was very respectful of our space and worked with us to make certain that we were inconvenienced as little as possible. While the painting was being done, his crew immediately addressed even our smallest concerns. Afterward, Dan did a thorough inspection of the job with us before his crew left, and they corrected the very few areas which Dan was not satisfied with.
Before when people came to visit we made excuses for the poor paint job. Now we can now proudly show off our ?new? home.
We highly recommend this company and would hire them again in a heart-beat!
That first job led us to hire them to repaint several rooms in our new house. They did a beautiful job of the interface between the colored walls and off-white ceilings. They also went through the entire house, and touched up all of the other interfaces that didn't look quite right. It was this attention to detail that made us call him again for our future painting jobs. Friends of ours who have a very nice home, also had some painting done at the same time as this job. When they visited our house, and saw Dan's work, they frowned and told us they wish they'd hired Dan instead.
We then had them paint one side of our house, which the previous owner had ruined by mixing glossy and flat paint. They did a beautiful job of this, but there was one part that didn't look quite right. Dan made his crew re-mask and re-spray the area to make it right. In fact, he noticed the problem with that area even before I did. There was no further discussion about what to do about it. He decided to fix it and do it right. This is in direct contrast to other contractors we've worked with, who would've rolled their eyes or tried to talk us into being happy with the job as done.
In summary, we will continue to use Dan and his crew again. Aside from the quality of the work in the fair price, there're some intangibles that make hiring Dan feel like a good idea. There are lots of little things that he does ? delivering paint samples, moving pieces of furniture in a very careful way, and spending time talking with you about all your options and even recommending the cheaper one sometimes. He treats his employers well ? He still has some of the employees he had a few years ago, and they've told me he's a good boss. Finally, Dan is just a nice guy. He Is very friendly, but always completely professional, polite, and respectful. We're picky about the folks we have in our home, and I have complete confidence and comfort with Dan being in our house.
The latest job was his annual roof and gutter cleaning of our rental house. The house has 60' high maple trees and 100' douglas fir trees within 20 feet of the roof. The roof has a 32 foot drop off the back. The back plexiglass deck cover is 20 feet off the ground. His crew cleaned the composite roof, the plexiglass roof and all the gutters. After they finished the roof, they cleaned up the sidewalk, deck stairs and driveway. They did an excellent job!
I have used D & S Painting since 2008 for pressure washing, interior painting, exterior painting and deck maintenance. I highly recommend them.
