I couldn't be happier with the service and the work. The turnaround time and customer service exceeded all expectations. These guys truly are experts in their craft. The price was fair. When I stopped by their shop to make color selections, they were so nice and gave me so many options. Then, the doors got finished so fast and were delivered a week or so early! The quality appears to be great. I had two new wood garage doors finished about 2-3 months ago and so far, everything looks amazing.

They took off wallpaper trim and fixed a water damaged corner of the bedroom wall. They prepped and painted everything in 4 days. The painters were courteous, clean, and efficient. I felt very comfortable entrusting them with the house if I had to leave for a little bit. It was the easiest project I have ever had done in the house.

They did a super job on the outside of our house. It's a fair sized house. They came out and they power washed it a couple of times. They did that and they came back and cleaned it. Lucas said, "I can help you pick the colors." He came out with some colors. I thought that they were very good colors. So, he helped with that. He decided the colors. When I saw what he had picked, I just said, "You know what. That's better than what I was thinking." Then they came out and painted the whole house. He had a nice sized crew. There must have been six or seven guys. They cleaned up the windows. I was worried that I would have to replace all the windows in this house, which would have been an enormous cost. There are a lot of windows. They did all the caulking and they stripped and painted them. They look great. The price was good. The paint has held up good.

He did a great job! He also painted my downspouts a color that matched my brick and looks really nice. He was on time and I would recommend his services to others. He has very good ideas.

We contracted with Lucas Markantone Painting last fall. The process was easy: we arranged with a friendly and personable office person a date, Mr Markantone came on the agreed upon date and time, introduced himself and his company, inspected the job, and sent an estimate a few days later. It was agreed upon that it was unlikely the work could be done in the late fall, and when we called in April we were given a time frame in the second half of May. We then were informed that the painters could start earlier. Greg and his crew were punctual, professional, knowledgeable, very thorough, polite, and last but not least friendly and very tidy. They power-washed the house and did a lot of scraping. They used huge drop cloths so that when they left for the day there was no paint chip to be seen anywhere. Greg discussed with us how to store their materials and ladders and found a satisfactory solution. The work was completed within 3 days and we were highly satisfied with the result. We would recommend this company to our friends and contract with them again.

They provided an estimate and were able to schedule within our timeframe. A team of two individuals came to our home who were very professional, knowledgeable and personable. As they went through the work, they would request our input on any additional work or changes that required our attention. They were very easy to work with and I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.

They did quite a bit of work. They were expensive, but were absolutely superb. They were worth every dollar. The workers were very professional. They were on time, on schedule, and on budget. They seemed pretty honest and were just fine. It was a very positive experience. I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Everything went very well. They were very professional, their people are super competent, and all around they were a delight to work with. I would highly recommend them to anybody and I intend to do business with them again. They are competent in all aspects of painting. They charge a reasonable amount of money, but you get it in spades.

They were extremely professional. The estimate was written on a professional contract spelling out everything that he was going to do, how he was going to do it and the cost associated with it. The workers were very professional. They moved furniture and covered things. They put everything back exactly where it was. I had to do very little preparation myself. I wasn't even here the day they did most of the painting. I felt comfortable leaving the workers here with my daughters and they worked all day. I can't emphasize enough how professional they were and I didn't have any concern about them making a mistake or getting paint on anything. It was just perfectly done.

He was very expensive. He did the estimate and didn't come back for six or seven months. He gave the estimate in the fall. My husband and I didn't quite go over everything he was supposed to do and we were sort of shocked that he charged a lot of money for things that we thought he should have included, like painting the outside of the gutters and things to go with the rest of the trim. We should have gone over the estimate more thoroughly. His work is gorgeous. He painted the exterior and most of it is trim because we have a brick house. It still looks great. His painters were just wonderful. I was upset about some trim not being done and he came back himself to touch it up.
Response from Markantone Painting
"The actual estimate date of this exterior job was 1/5/2005 and was accepted on 1/11/2005 with the customer's signature. By signing the contract the customer states they have agreed upon the job specs of which areas to be painted were clearly described and the price was given. Once a contract is signed, exteriors are painted by when the contract was received, then weather providing painting begins; because of a lot of rain that year both in May and June, the job was delayed. After the customer's review of the completed painting, more work was done and no extra charge was billed for their complete satisfaction."
