Healey's Painting

Curt Healey and his brother Dave were outstanding! In painting, the prep work is what makes a good end product and they were extremely thorough in sanding, filling, priming and making the surfaces ready for paint. Not only did the paint go on great, but they also back-brushed every inch after they sprayed. I spend a few years painting long ago in college and we never did the things Curt did to prep a house. I would highly recommend Curt for any job you may have. The price was more than reasonable for the job as we have a lot of exterior square footage but in jobs like ours, the value was exceptional.

Healey was great as a person; great as a painter; and even a great singer - he'd sing as he worked!
We loved the finished product!

Stained fence--Excellent work, very clean and professional

Curt always does a great job- he's conscientious, professional and very reasonable. Easy to work with and always wanting to accommodate the homeowner's wishes, questions etc. Besides all that, he's a nice guy!

They were very thorough. They completed the entire house and even went above and beyond what most painters would do. They use exceptional products. They were hard workers. We were extremely satisfied. They were very reasonably priced.

After deciding to contract the exterior painting, we solicited three bids. Curt was the highest, but not by an inordinate amount. After researching his company and also due to the fact that he could fit us in on our unexpected, but accelerated schedule, we hired him and it was definitely the right choice and we are so glad we did. During our initial conversations, he said several things that caused us to make this choice. 1) he was clearly not a "burn and turn" type contractor. He did most of the work himself, with some able assistance from his brother, as needed. His statement was essentially, that he was interested in doing a quality job and not out to try to do as much work as possible, in as short a time as possible; 2) He stated that good painting was 80% prep and 20% actually applying the paint. (From my personal experience in painting half a dozen prior homes, as well as numerous fire stations where I have worked, I know that this is a simple, yet profound truth.)
Curt estimated that it would take him 10 days to complete the job. He took 10.5 days. Pretty precise estimate, in my book. It was clear that he was not trying to juggle multiple jobs, to the expense of all. He spent the bulk of this time in prepping the house, which included pressure washing, sanding and scraping where needed, caulking, masking, priming, clearing back shrubbery, removing light fixtures, etc. He used very high quality Miller paint and the final results are simply outstanding. We have already had numerous compliments on the job from our neighbors and random passersby. Positives: 1) On the job each and every day and finished within 1/2 a day of his estimated time of completion; 2) cleans up as he goes so that by the the end of each day, you could not tell that he had been there at all, (other than the progress of the job); 3) very, very, very meticulous with an amazing eye for detail; 4) went above and beyond the original agreed to work, including taking every exterior light fixture, (including switch covers) home over the weekend and painting them in a complimentary dark bronze color that fitted the house color scheme very well; pressure washing the moss off the brick chimney and part of the cement back patio; fixing a recalcitrant back patio gate and garden shed doors; removing old telephone lines, painting the rooftop vent pipes, garden hose racks and other accessories in the same dark bronze as the light fixtures, ....etc., etc.; 5) very engaged and interactive, asking questions about what we wanted when it had not been previously discussed; offering professional advice as to how best to accentuate the architectural detail but still keeping it in character with the home without being too gaudy; 6) only top quality materials used; and 7) offering to come back to touch up any minor things that we both might have missed on the final walk through. Negatives: NONE! Miscellaneous comments: Curt, (and his brother David) epitomize what are rare qualities in this day and age: craftsmanship, professionalism and complete pride in what they do. It really shows. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" is utterly true. While he might be a slight bit higher than the typical "spray and run" painter, the quality of his work is so worth it. Since we would soon be moving, it was tempting for us to take a lower bid, but having pride in our home and wanting to make sure that whomever bought our house would not need to think about repainting it in five years (or less), led us to choose Curt. It was totally the right choice, even if we will only be able to enjoy the results for a few more short weeks. On top of all these superlatives, Curt and David are swell fellows....personable, thoughtful, funny, engaging and unflappably courteous. A job well done, and they get our highest recommendation! When our new home needs attention, Healey's Painting will be our first choice.(Plus he gives you really cool coffee mugs and ink pens when he finishes....)

We were pleased with this company from start to finish

Healey's Painting did a beautiful job! I would recommend them to anyone.
