SHP

I hate to write this review, because Eric (the owner), is just the nicest guy. I believe part of the problem was that he was running the business virtually alone as his partner had just left the company. It all started with the date of our house painting being pushed back almost 3 weeks. That week also happened to be the week that Eric was not in town. The house was pressure washed and caulked. However, the guy who did the caulking didn't bother to caulk completely around the windows, nor all the spots that the old caulking had worn away. The next day the house was spray coated. From the ground it was evident that the coat was not thorough. There was a lot of evenness and show through. And I then realized that the contract also stated that they do only ONE coat. I wouldn't paint the interior of my house with just ONE coat of paint, let alone the exterior which is subject to rain, sun, the elements, etc. I don't even paint my finger nails with one coat and expect it to last more than two days. Had I known this simple fact, I would have never gone with this company. In fact, I had previously gotten a quote from a reputable company that cost just $100 more and passed them up because my friend recommended Smart Home. The rest of the week was rough. We were told by some of the painters that we had to wait for Eric to get back before anything could be decided about the paint job. Painters would come and go. They continued to work on the trimwork and touch ups, which baffled my husband and I because the main body had not been painted right. Not to mention, there was a lot of overspray (plants, garden lights, our front deck, the furniture inside my house (when the back door was being painted), hose knobs. Overall, I felt like they did a sloppy job. Eventually, at the beginning of the following week, when Eric was back in town, we were able to talk to him. Again, he is the kindest person and really does want to please his customers and do a great job. He agreed to spray the house again and add a second coat to most everything (for some reason, our garage door was not resprayed and i still see some show through in spots) and did it in less than a day. By that time, we just wanted to be done with house painting and were more or less pleased with the final result. We do still need to restain our front porch due to paint drips. Overall, I was disappointed at both the overall quality and efficiency of the job. I would not use this company again. Especially when spending thousands of dollars.

It went amazingly smoothly and surprisingly fast. Jason's team of experienced painters came and prepped the house for painting the day before. They pressure washed, sanded, tied back trees and when everything was dry, they masked areas off. The next couple of days seemed like magic, I would leave for work and come home, they would have left for the day but a new side of the house would be finished (it took three days, including painting the trim). There are no drips, smudged areas, or imperfections that I can see. All the lines are beautifully crisp and you can tell the paint is high quality. My house went from looking outdated and shabby (peeling paint and cracking shudders) to modern and fresh. The paint crew (the one man I met) was polite and informative and Jason was polite, informative and very professional. I have recommended Jason and Smart Home Painting to all my neighbors (they've actually asked who painted our house).

Arrived on time every day. Let me know whether or not they would be there (based on the weather this time of year) ~ Did a great job, gave me options on where all I should paint trim colors - did an outstanding job filling hardiplank seams - also filled all holes on house... very professional, top quality company.

Fabulous! Completely painted and trimmed the exterior of our 2,500 sq. ft. house in three days time. Two of our neighbors have asked them for bids after seeing their work. Beautiful job. I have absolutely no complaints.

These guys are great! I initially heard about them in the local newspaper here in Beaverton. They had a classified ad I called. They were able to give me an estimate in just a few days and painted my home a few weeks after. I had them paint 3 bedrooms, my kitchen, living area and our 2 bathrooms. My wife and I were amazed at how courteous they were when they showed up to the estimate and also throughout the job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire a good painter.
