A FRESH COAT PAINTING

We can't say enough good things about A Fresh Coat Painting! They have done multiple interior and exterior jobs at our home, both large and small. They have impeccable attention to detail; every corner and seam, every surface is left even and smooth with no defects or cracks. The staff are prompt and professional and leave your home as clean as they found it. We will never hire another painting company!

We’ve had many different painters do work for us over our past 45 years of home ownership, but none can match the quality, attention-to-detail and workmanship of Kurt and Paul’s teams at Fresh Coat. Their willingness to collaborate and make great suggestions based on their knowledge and experience has resulted in exceptional results in the projects they’ve done over the past 15 years that we’ve lived in this home. Here are some examples of projects they’ve undertaken over the years: • Repainted a stairwell bannister that had been damaged by movers • Repaired and repainted walls and ceilings (that had cracks in corners from settling) in family room, loft, bathrooms and bedrooms • Repainted cabinet exteriors after bathroom and kitchen upgrades • Repainted the exterior of a weather-exposed front door and its trim • Repainted “harlequin” diamond patterns on entrance hallway and insets in family room to reflect our subtle desires • Repainted a fireplace mantle that was showing its age All of these projects resulted in a “like new” condition that met our very meticulous quality requirements. We are extremely fine-detail oriented and have extremely high expectations. Kurt and Paul’s teams meet these requirements beyond our expectation. Their communications, planning and expertise are unparalleled. Thanks guys!

They were fantastic. Professional, clean, did a great job and were plain nice. Price was very reasonable. Would use them again.

Excellent quality, very professional, excellent attention to detail

Excellent! We selected Fresh Coat because of their professionalism, extreme attention to detail and willingness to work around our schedule. The refinish work on our front door is fantastic. They completed sanding, filling, priming, and five coats of spray which resulted in an fantastic finish. We selected them because of their high quality workmanship in past projects. Their work completely met my super-critical demands for perfection.

They are always professional and respectful of your home and space. Communication is prompt and courteous. They have meticulous attention to detail--no stray paint or missed spots, everything always looks perfect! We plan to use them for all of our painting needs in the future.

A Fresh Coat Painting did our home office in Venetian plaster and the results are striking. Such a beautiful job and they were great in taking time to help us define what we wanted and then doing such a professional job. I would highly recommend them.

They are always on time and on budget. They are respectful of our house. They take pride in their work. We don't bother to shop around for painting services anymore.

Friendly, thorough, punctual and skilled. I would trust these guys with all of my painting needs and probably any of the other services that they offer. They provided an accurate and fair estimate, coordinated my appointment professionally, and were fair with their price. I will use these guys again!

Our 1938 home was last painted more than 12 years ago, so it needed a careful work-over. Constructed of 3/4" cedar planking, it could best be described as an "Aging Beauty' with many 'freckles' of raw wood coming thru the paint. Meaning some places required extensive sanding and repairs to the wood surface before new primer could be applied. It was not yet a restoration project, but I would say we were 1-2 years overdue. Company Owner Kirk came to the house and power washed the exterior himself, a process that enabled him to get familiar with the home and its challenges. Next he worked with my wife and I to select colors for the siding, trim, front door and shutters. The 3 of us looked at other homes in our area with newer paint jobs, as Kirk pointed out their flaws and attributes. He was patient, thorough, and a good arbiter of minor differences between H & W. Kirk helped us choose colors that were different from the prior scheme, yet consistent with our trees and flowering shrubs. The Fresh Coat Painting crew arrived on time and went about their work briskly. Our home required substantial sanding and preparation, along with two coats of primer. They were respectful of our tenant, and waited until mid-morning to turn on radios. Working hours for July (it was HOT !) were from 7:30 to about 3:45 each day. Several workers had been with the company more than five years, a good sign of job stability and commitment to craftmanship. After talking with several crew members, it was obvious they were trained to spot causes of paint failure, such as uneven drying, moisture or oils in the wood, and 'bubbling' caused by too much (or sudden) exposure to full sun. A homeowner should realize that in today's world, painters spray product onto the surface wherever possible. In a few areas, brush work is still done [doors, railings for decks, window sills]. I was not prepared for this 'fact of life' that technology allows, coming from an 'Old School' approach. It seems that today we must accept the fact that 98% of your home's exterior is 'painted' by power machines, not by hand. That said, spray painting allows for multiple coats to be applied more quickly than by brush. Two times Kurt or the crew made me aware of 'extra' features that were not part of my original bid. One involved painting the underside of a 2nd story deck; another was the surface of a 40 sq.ft brick entryway to the front door. Each 'add on' to the scope was presented with adequate information to make a decision. I never felt 'hustled' or hurried to consider their requests. The prices as quoted were reasonable. Crews were led by savvy, practical men who knew their trade and how to respond to my questions. A Fresh Coat uses Miller Paints, which are not cheap. But I didn't want a short term result, either. Overall I was pleased with the job done by A Fresh Coat Painting, LLC. They gave me a firm start date and stuck with it. The owners responded to telephone calls during the job, and the crews cleaned up well afterward. Owners Kurt and Paul are pros in every sense of the word, and train their workers to a high standard. Their prices are not the lowest in town, but I believe I got superior service along the way. I would highly recommend them, especially if your home is older or in need of a major paint job.

The pressure wash went as planned then, OF COURSE, it rained the night before the paint/stain was to be applied. Paul and we agreed upon an "alternate date" and all rest off as scheduled. Outside of the pressure wash, the whole job took about half a day. All was grest except two paint drips on one stair (small potatoes given the size of the job!).

I reached out to 3 painters for quotes and I went with Kurt as he seemed very genuine and professional about his work. Pricing came in about the middle of all 3 quotes and honestly, I chose this company mainly because I just had a good feeling about Kurt. Pure gut instinct and my gut proved to be right. Kurt was extremely punctual in getting back to me when I called and his team arrived on time everyday to perform the job. They were meticulous in the prep work involved with preparing the house for a full exterior paint. They did an amazing job caulking the house, covering areas and cleaning up. The paint work is beautiful and all of the employees that worked on the house were such a pleasure to work with- down to earth yet very professional. I highly recommend a Fresh Coat Painting and I have every intention of hiring them again for interior paint work.

Perfect - would recommend to anyone.

We had just renovated our kitchen and in the process decided with our contractor, that the cabinets were in good shape and only needed some touch up painting. We also wanted to have the walls repainted to "freshen" the look in the kitchen and give it a new sparkle. We had previously used A FRESH COAT PAINTING, and were extremely pleased with their extreme attention to small details and professional understanding of painting. We had a couple of substantial "dings" after the removal of the old countertops. With the installation of the new granite and new appliances, there were some new areas that needed paint. Kurt came out to the house and explained all the options and processes they use with each. We decided that touch up was the best option, along with repainting the kitchen walls. We agreed upon the colors and paint type, and Kurt responded a day later with a proposal with options. Work was started promptly as scheduled and completed as agreed to. I am extremely nitpicky about painting, and in the past have done the work myself because I didn't trust anyone else to the job to my expectation. A FRESH COAT PAINT always exceeds my expectation and while doing the work provides great guidance about maintaining high quality paint finishes. We are always impressed with their final product and extreme attention fine, high-quality workmanship. The cabinets look like new and there is no trace that they were only touched up. These guys are great.

Excellent Job--Efficient, Cleaned everything up, excellent painting.

I was very happy with them. They were just great. They did a great job and people are coming and asking me who I used. It is just a very nice job. I did not have any issues with the service. The price was a little high, but for the work that I got and I did have a special paint, the price is A.

First, this our fifth job from these folks, so we knew what we were getting into. One of the owners, Paul, came a week before the actual work was to be done and pressure washed the exterior of our home so that it would be clean and dry when the "crew" arrived. A week later the crew arrived to fill holes, cracks, etc. and mask windows prior to the actual painting (staining). We had agreed that we would remove all of the exterior light fittings, electrial box covers, etc., to expedite their work, which we did after the pressure wash. The job took a little longer than expected, but we didn't mind. We keep having these guys back because the do excellent work and they are actually fun to have on the property. Both owners...Kurt and Paul...are delightful people to deal with and their crews, in our experience, are professional and pleasant to have around the house. And, each evening when they are through for the day, they clean up all of their tools and equipment so that we can enjoy our home that evening before they start again the next morning. They "guarantee" satisfaction and, today, they showed off that promise. In the prior four jobs there had never been a need for a "call back", but this one was complicated enough by our home's architecture that a couple of places were missed. Paul was back here in a flash to touch up the missed bits, even though we had already paid for the completed job. As every time before, we are utterly satisfied with the job done. The price ain't cheap, but you do get what you paid for!

Paul gave us the original estimate but we worked primarily with Curt when the job started. Chris was the lead man of the crew and was responsive to our questions or concerns at all times. They were on time every day and actually finished ahead of schedule. The crew was very professional and cleaned up after themselves each night. We will have them back if and when we need any painting and would recommend them to anyone.

We were very impressed with the service from A Fresh Coat. when we moved into a new house they repainted the majority of the interior for us, including a large entry with high ceilings. Recently we had them back to repaint two individual rooms we hadn't done before. Kurt and Paul are prompt, courteous, and respectful. They responded quickly for the bid and gave a clearly written proposal. There were no surprise charges. They took care to keep our house clean and tidy. They helped sort through all of the old paint left by the previous owners and hauled away what we didn't need. They left a touch-up kit with clearly labeled paint with all of the new colors we had chosen. We plan to use A Fresh Coat for all of our future painting needs!

Curt came promptly to give an estimate and was easy to work with throughout. The painting team was punctual and seemed to work hard. They cleaned up as well as could be expected after each day's work. They were even careful to keep our cats out of the work area. We're very pleased with the paint job, especially the cabinets - they look like new! The only drawback was that they don't have a shop to spray paint cabinet doors, so we had to give up up our dining room for two weeks, but we feel that was appropriately reflected in the price. The job was completed on time. We'll definitely use A Fresh Coat again.

What can I say? They come almost to the minute of when they promise. They have all of the tools and techniques that one could ask. They are nuts for preparation (the KEY to successful finish work...ask anyone who really knows!). They are pleasant and easy to work with. And they are really nice people! They have been here four times so far and we'll have them back anytime we need painting or finishing services!

Don't hire these guys if you want a quick, cheap job. These are pros who take pride in what they do. Their price reflects this, but, well, you get what you pay for! The job went great! The crew came on July 4th(!) to pressure-wash the surfaces to be stained. They returned a week later to thoroughly prep the services, doing extensive sanding and other prep work. Then two and a half days of hand-staining the surfaces...two coats...very thorough! The team used especially high-quality product and were very careful around our plantings. Them masked those areas not on the current job quite effectively. We plan to have A Fresh Coat of Paint return (for yet another job...this was their third for us), in the next year or two.

Painters hired by my general contractor, who went out of business. I asked for an upscale job, with attention to detail and sharp edges, and was willing to pay extra for it. My contractors selected Kurt's team. The price was a bit high, as expected. Kurt was very nice and professional. The quality of the painting was OK - I did specifically ask for the edges to be sharp and not overlapping onto the ceiling or woodwork, but they pretty much all overlapped by a moderate amount - not sloppy, just not the accuracy I had wanted for that specific job (it would have been fine for others). They also painted right over the window tracks, which had to be replaced. But testament to Kurt's professionalism, he was extremely professional, did not disagree with anything but immediately offered to fix the work and pay for the tracks. Painters returned to fix the edges. They are now a bit closer to the true corner, but still actually overlap a bit, I decided to just let it be. Apart from the edges, the painting looked great. They did excellent prep of the woodwork and nice, even application that is still holding up well today, I like the smooth surfaces. Here's the amazing part, though. While the general contractor I hired went out of business and stiffed the painters on the job (they didn't get paid a dime for the work on my house despite my paying the general contractor in full), Kurt was true to his word and still paid for the window track to be replaced! So overall I would say if you want someone who you know you can trust, Kurt is your man. They do a very decent job painting for most applications, and will fix things until they get it to your liking without arguing, which is the most important character for a contractor in my book.

Kurt came to the house soon after I called to request an estimate. It looked at the project and told me exactly what the process would be, including all the preparation work and clean up as well as patching nail holes, etc. He gave me a verbal estimate and then emailed a written one within hours. His crew was able to come within 2 weeks and the work was completed in two days. When they left after the first day everything was cleaned up and put away as much as possible and when the work was completed, they left the area spotless. Kurt was very pleasant and professional and the painting crew was the same. It was a total pleasure to do business with them and they did a beautiful job. I would hire them again in a minute!
