DS painting did a fantastic job! Paint looks beautiful - lines between trim, walls and ceiling are perfect. Job included the entire house and was done while we were home, they were very professional and a pleasure to have in our home. They cleaned up at the end of each day and made the project enjoyable. Derek even helped us select colors. They are highly recommended!!
Description of Work: Painted the majority of the house interior - about 3000 sq ft... included wall paper removal and significant spackling.

He rescheduled the appointment the night before, an hour after I reminded the tenant that he was coming. 2 or 3 weeks later he was late in arrival. Work looks good so far.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the job I was on until the following day so I called to see if I could push the customer back 1 day. Insted of starting the job on Saturday I did the job on sunday. Sometimes these things happen and I did apologize for any inconvenience and I'm apologizing again sorry for any inconvenience. I don't like to to leave a job before it's finished to start another job and sometimes customers like to add more work or unforseen things happen with the job that make the job run longer then figured. The paint job came out great and the customer seemed happy about the work. As far as my punctuality I was as nice as I could be with a customer and as far as being late I was actually 5 minutes early but the job was on [Member Information Removed] street in center city Allentown and the township was doing street cleaning so by the time I found a parking spot several blocks away so I could have been 10 or 15 minutes late. Again these things happen. Also I did not reschedule 3 weeks later maybe the home owner was thinking of another contractor I was not the only contractor on the job but I was only there for 1 day. Again sorry for any inconvenience.

Wonderful experience working with Derek over the course of a week to complete the job. On-time every day, very professional, excellent clean-up, and took time every day to walk me through each area looking for anything needing touch-ups. I would absolutely recommend Derek. He helped turn our house into a Home.

So glad to be of service. This job had a lot of high work almost every room was between 12ft and 24ft high needed 3 sections of scaffolding and a 4 ft ladder on top to reach some places but it was no problem for us. Sometimes you just need to do what ever you need to do to get the job done and keep moving. Because of all the high work there was also a lot of spackle repairs in hard to reach areas but again nothing we are not used too. We took pictures and the house looks great and everyone is happy. Thanks for the A.

Derek performed the work we agreed on and stayed to do more as we kept adding on when we kept seeing the transformation they were giving our home. They spackled and painted almost the entirety of the home by the time they were done. We couldn't be happier. We will be asking Derek to return when we have more for him to do. The decision to hire Derek was his honesty from the first phone call, to all of the work, to making sure our home was clean when they were all finished. One of the best traits about Derek and his brother is their love for dogs (I'm sure other animals as well), as one day they had finished up and they had stayed for a little bit to play with the dogs who were couped up out of the way for the day. The dogs loved it, they were quickly best friends and were the whole time. Derek and his brother were very accomodating and respectful. They were more than happy to help with moving furniture without asking us to do it but to help them we tried to stay ahead if we could. If we couldn't it never phased them. They work quick but do not compromise quality. I will certainly be using them again. To speak to Derek making sure it is quality work there was a spot in the ceiling in our hallway that didn't look like it coated properly on the edges due to the previous wallpaper that was there and without even mentioning anything Derek pointed it out to us and fixed it by coatiing and making sure it looked right, even though it took more work than what was originally quoted. I respected his wanting to make it look right and treating our home as if it were his. Can't beat the workmanship, price, and quality. They truly transformed out home. Approximate cost of service was painting only, not the paint.

This job over all was a great experience the home owners were very open, understanding respectful and easy going. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet the home owner and getting to know them. Being able to build a relationship and trust with the home owners is always number one and painting second if you have a good relationship with the home owners and making sure everyone's needs are met everything else runs smooth though out the job. The home owners where great and even the dogs. Home owners are very happy and we look forward to be working with them again in the future. Thanks for the A.

Derek and his brother were excellent. They came on time, fixed a couple of cracks, painted the foyer beautifully, and left the foyer cleaner than it was to begin with. I would summarize Derek as being very professional, skilled, and with the right attitude.

Derek and his workers did an awesome job. They were punctual and very careful in covering all the walls first. His trimming along the edges where the ceiling paint met the wall paint was precise. The job took 2 days because the ceilings took 2 coats. I looked around for pricing and Derek's price was awesome. You will not regret hiring them. They are professional, friendly and I will recommend them to my friends and to anyone that is on Angie's list. Happy painting! 😊

There is nothing like a happy customer. When I showed up to look at the job there was a 4ft x 5ft hole in the ceiling from a plumber looking for a leaking pipe so I fixed that and you can't tell that hole was ever there. The ceiling where the hole was continued through the the entire down stairs so we ended up having to paint all the ceilings. There was another hole in the master closet I fixed and we painted some trim on the exterior of the house on the second floor that was repaired from another contractor. Over all the job went well

Second floor of our house is about 800 square feet and took almost 6 days to paint. It's an older house that hadn't been painted for very long time and second floor has been a rental for over 30 years, so it required extra work and posed more challenges than normal. One of the challenges was plaster on hallway ceiling and foyer being so old, the paint was not sticking to it. Derek had never dealt with this situation before, and it slowed him down, but he was able to come up with solution that produced nice result at the end of the day. I let Derek know where I wanted cables, nails, etc removed from walls & baseboards and he is good about doing what you ask. It's important to let him know rather than assuming he will read your mind. Most of first day was spent spackling, excessive amounts of spackle applied to fill in all the dents, holes, etc. Derek and his brother Dana have good work ethic and experience, so I feel I hired the right guys to get this job done. They arrived early every day and got right to work and they have positive attitude, which always goes a long way. Their pricing is reasonable for the amount of work they do. The only complaint I have is that I didn't get copy of receipts and I think customer should get that if they want it, since they are paying for paint. I am glad I hired them and will use them for future jobs if they are up for the challenge.

this was a tough job from the start the apartment was not kept up very well for many years and there was cracks everywhere including a popcorn ceiling. originally we were going to repair the cracks on the popcorn ceiling but by the time we scraped around the cracks to do the repairs it made more sense to scrape the entire ceiling. after fixing the cracks we primed the ceiling and then started to paint it with ceiling paint as we were painting the paint pulled off the primer. we had a very hard time getting paint to stick so I skimmed coated the entire ceiling with spackle sanded primed and repainted. the ceiling looks great and so does the rest of the apartment.

DS Painting did a great job. Derek came to the house before the job to consult on drywall repair and ceiling painting. Derek and his brother arrived on time and were both very polite and took care to complete all work for our job, as agreed. The drywall damage was repaired and we are satisfied with the quality of work performed.

We contracted for a fixed number of hours. I was hoping that our very large great room and foyer could be painted in that time. Not only did Derek and his brother paint the great room and foyer (20+ foot ceilings) with two coats but also the upstairs and downstairs halls, mud room area and the stairway to the basement. They were energizer bunnies of painting! We tried to have things cleared and ready to paint but wow, in the end they did so much I said go home early on the second day! Definitely no concern over slowing down on a by the hour job. We are VERY pleased and would hire again.

these customers bought a big deal called the painter for a week at $1,199 for 40 hours. we did the job 2 guys 2 10 hour days. we did get a lot of work done for 40 hours and the reason was because there was no spackling to be done so we were able to just keep painting. we worked hard and appreciate the A. these reviews go a long way so thanks.

I was very impressed by the quality of work and the speed in which the job was done. Both painters were personable and professional. The only complaint is that they used really dirty drop cloths. They made an attempt to clean my hard wood floor, but after spending more than an hour cleaning it myself, I will still need to spend more time tomorrow.

another A nice... we just painted a bed room with some spackling all the ceilings. walls, trim, doors, Windows and closet 2 coats we did it in about 6 or 7 hours ... unfortunately drop cloths are dust magnets we shake them out as much as possible but we can never get all the dust out and I spackle every day. before we left we swept the floors twice and used a swifter and floor chemicals to clean the hard wood floors. when we were done the floors shined no foot prints dust nothing on them so I'm confused about her comments. she did say she was going to clean the floors again anyway even after we cleaned them.

not sure why we ended up with a B the review seemed really good and after talking to the customer we will be going back for more work. the only thing I can think of is that angies list called the home owner and did a review by phone I have noticed in the past that things get interpreted differently and inserted of receiving an A we end up with a B. so I normally ask the home owners to give a review by computer not by phone because you never know the person on the other end of the phone and what they are writing for you. well the job went well over all and again we will be going back to do more painting soon.
