About us
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Dan Muir, born and raised in Portland Oregon. I went to Centennial High School and have a five year degree from Multnomah University. I began painting in 1973 to work my way through college and continued after graduation. I began on old Portland homes and soon perfected the preperation necessary to produce long lasting, quality paint jobs. I make an effort to be prompt and timely, to insist on quality, and employ people who are well versed in comunicating with customers who may have questions or concerns. I have been quite successful in painting largely due to my overall dedication to good preparation, the use of quality materials and the knowledge of the many dynamics in this particular industry. Good paint jobs do not happen by accident. It takes an organized effort with people that know the business. I hope you will trust me with your home or your commercial property and I promise I will do all I can to make the painting experience a pleasant one. Our license number is 47305 and everyone that works for me is on payroll and fully insured. You can contact me directly at 503 810 6105. You can also look us up at www.muirpainting.com.

The job overall was fair. It was done in a timely manner. The cost was good but the painters didn't prep as well as they should have. There are spots that weren't scraped or sanded which has lead to flaking already. Also contacted owner about a paint drip on the front door. He said he'd come over and take care of it. I wasn't home but my father was over. He told my father that it was a shadow and touching up wouldn't help. It's definitely a drip. I'll end up having to spend some time doing some touch ups. I guess at the cost I shouldn't have expected perfection.

Muir painting referred me to Chris Takayama for a 3-room painting project. Overall, he did a pretty good job, but after all was done and paid for it turns out Chris on his own and without my knowledge and consent substituted standard extra white paint for the wood trim & doors instead of the off-white color I wanted and he agreed to. Chris initially seemed willing to resolve the matter, but now after several weeks he has stopped responding to my e-mails. On this basis I cannot recommend Chris Takayama or Muir Painting until this matter gets resolved.
Response from Muir Painting
"Well my record now of 8 F or 1 star reviews remains perfect, in other words houses I have never painted. Chris was a former lead man for me and last year went out on his own. I refer jobs to him sometimes ( jobs I can't take ) and I tell the customer right up front it is between them and Chris. This gentleman has never contacted me and this is the first I have heard of this. I always stress to the customer that I do not receive any money from the job. It is interesting though that the work seems to be fine and I have no clue what the deal is on the color."

If you are looking for a professional painter with an experienced crew and high level of craftsmanship, we recommend Muir painting. Our home was painted in one day and the finished product is spectacular. After the day was done the cleanup was thorough and our home was left nice and neat. It was good to work with Dan through the whole process from bid to work day with a follow up of minor fixes. Dan was very responsive and followed up with us along the way.

This is an overdo good review! We had this work done a year ago and Dan responded same day for a quote. We wanted to match the trim and of our house and the garage with the original color that was about 19 years old! We still had the old paint cans. So I brought them to a local paint store to get them to match the paint where Dan would pick it up for the job. He gave a quote for just what I asked for and also a quote if we wanted them to paint the whole house. It was very competitive. Once the weather was good they got the painting done quickly. There was an area that was missed, but it was resolved next day. Overall I'm very happy with the communication, service and quality of work. The exterior paint and oil peaks looked fantastic!

Good work, reasonably priced. Scheduling was a bit of a challenge; I think because they are busy.

Dan Muir painting is OUTSTANDING. We have a big house that hasn’t been painted in over 15 years. Price quoted was $500 less than the other local bid I got. Once we hired Dan and his team they got to work within about a week. They were very professional and did a beautiful job and Dan was in contact most days by phone. Our house looks so beautiful. Price I paid was exactly what was quoted. They finished within about one week. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dan Muir and I would definitely hire him again!

Went wonderful. Dan did the evaluation and left a quote at my house. We then went to pick out paint and schedule a time for the work to be done. Dan showed up with his crew and was able to paint the house in one day. He answered all questions to my satisfaction and was very patient. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

We couldn't be happier with results. Dan Muir and his crew of painters are stand outs. They just completed the exterior paint job of our house. Our house is not an easy house to paint.... it is tall , lots of roof pitches, shingles,lots of windows, knee braces, soffits, etc. The process from bid to completion went great. We got several bids from other top notch companies, but Muir Painting stood out. The owner, Dan, gave us a fair bid right up front, he was always in constant contact and easy to reach. There were 7 painters working on our house, they were a wonderful group of professionals....skilled and just really nice and thoughtful through the whole process. We can't say enough good things. We were dreading getting our house painted, it turned out to actually be a fun and exciting process watching our house transform. We don't normally write reviews, but we feel Muir Painting is an exceptional and stellar company. If you hire Muir painting, you won't be dissappointed! Thank you, Dan, Matthew and crew. We appreciate you all! Really you all are A+

I can’t say enough good things about Dan Muir and his amazing crew. Most importantly, Dan is a genuinely kind man, and has skilled, quality people working for him. I’m a very detail-oriented, communication-focused customer, and Dan was always available to answer questions and provide guidance on scheduling and options. I am extremely satisfied with the outcomes, and everything has met or exceeded my expectations. We just resided our 1929 house with smooth HardiPlank siding. The combination of that smoothness and our dark color choice ensured that this job had to be done *perfectly*. They worked hard to prep my house to be ready for the right weather window (which was stressful to me with all of our September rain), but Dan’s years of experience gave me comfort that I knew it would get done right. The worksite was kept clean, there were no mistakes, and there was always plenty of communication and coordination from the crews. Our finished product is stellar, and I have nothing but praise for them. I wholeheartedly recommend Dan Muir Painting for your exterior home painting needs. Thank you, Dan and crew!

Muir was exceptional. The owner Dan Muir provided a bid within one day of us contacting them. He provided a very competitive price without sacrificing quality. Dan was in constant contact from the time we accepted his proposal to the job completion and final inspection. His crew was very efficient and their teamwork was impressive. I would recommend Muir without hesitation!

Dan was highly responsive and promptly came out for a quotation before all other painters. He was flexible to work with me to customize the quotation for what I needed. He quickly started after we agreed upon the quotation. The painting came out exceptionally, exceeding all expectations that I had. He covered details that I hadn't even considered. I would hire him again.

I had a home that had aluminum siding removed and needed to original cedar shingles painted. The majority of the trim was recently painted so this job was mostly just the body of a two story 1914 bungalow. The shingles were in pretty good shape in most spots but not so much in others. It looked like there was one or two original coats of paint. I felt the cost was high to being with but that seems to be the current state of the market. The bid said they would "double coat" which I assumed was two coats but found out it was a tricky way of saying two passes to make one thick coat. Prep was to include the usual stuff like filing holes, caulking "where needed", prepping loose paint, priming, etc. After a light pressure wash they did a quick pass with caulk to fill the nail holes and caulked around some windows. That's about it. I had to have them back a few times to touch up spots that looked terrible with inconsistent coverage and alligatoring. After making me feel like a pain and someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about (I used to be a house painter), I gave up. Over the last year I have found tons of staples left in the wood, some holes, some nails sticking out, lots of rusty nail heads starting to show through because they never primed the house, not even the bare wood. There were many vulnerable areas left un-caulked. There were even painted over spider nests. I would say you get what you pay for but that would be a bit generous. There was no pride in workmanship here, just a crew looking to get in an out as fast as possible.
Response from Muir Painting
"Interesting review. You would have to read at least the last 30 reviews to see how satisfied our customers are (reviews on houses we did not paint don't count). I had a crew spent one day filling thousands of nail holes, light washing is what we would do on old shakes, and my bid is very clear on what a double coat is (we are interested in how thick that paint is). Lastly it was me that went out and walked the house with the customer and I made a great effort to explain that the surfaces on his shakes were not consistent. This is not unusual with non-grooved shakes. More paint would not change this. I thought his house looked great and he seemed happy with the paint job. I never heard back till now and I find it interesting that it has been a year. I will say though I have painted thousands of homes and buildings and I would expect that along the way we have not made 100% of our customers happy, though we do try."

Dan provided a very competitive bid, and given his great reviews on Angie's, decided to go with him. Although I was nervous about his crew doing our house in the winter season, he found a 4-day stretch without rain, and they got it done. The house looks great, trim work is careful, and a few small, minor areas I spotted after the job that needed to be touched up were promptly addressed a few days later. I would also say that Dan is very responsive and attentive via phone - we exchanged probably a dozen or more calls and texts. I appreciated that very much.

We received several bids and Dan's was the most competitively priced, but what mattered to us was Dan's responsiveness. Given the time of year weather can make painting a moving a target and Dan was in constant communication about his schedule. The quality of the work was fantastic. His team were professional, courteous, and very hardworking. Afterwards Dan followed up and spotted an area that didn't meet his expectations and promptly touched it up. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend.

We called them to give us quote on exterior paint .we selected from several referrals from friends too Muir painting was professional in honoring contract taking time to prep home and prepare it before putting primer and two coats of paint. They got paid after work is done. They are friendly and efficient. Five stars for quality work and service. Thank you very much from Schuld Family.

When we contacted Muir, we were told that they do not do small jobs (such as ours), however some of their workers are always looking for work on the side and they would have someone give us a call. A couple of days later Ricardo called and said he would like the work. He came by, gave us a reasonable quote, and came the next Saturday (thankfully a dry day) and did the work. He had draped covering over the shrubs and the wind had increased and caused some of the plastic to brush into the paint before it was dry. When Ricardo came to retrieve the tarps he saw the damage and arranged to come back later and re-do the damaged areas. He did this last Saturday and the job looks great. Thanks, Ricardo!

Returned my call about 5 days later. By that time, I had hired a truly professional painter who did an exceptional job. He called me again when he had not received a return call from me. I called and said only that I had found a painter.
Response from Muir Painting
"I make thousands of phone calls a year, so if I didn't get back to her soon enough sorry. I don't mind getting a D on a job I never painted. If you look at the two previous reviews they will comment on my responsiveness. By the way I was at a wedding in Mexico at the time."
