Response from PAINTING BY MICHAEL
WOW, I AM SO TAKEN BACK BY BOTH OF THEE LETTERS THE MEMBERS HAVE WRITTEN. WHAT AN AWESOME FAMILY. WE AT PAINTING BY MICHAEL TRY VERY HARD TO KEEP THE CUSTOMER VERY CALM AND STRESS FREE DURING THE TIME WE SPEND ON THERE PROJECT BUT SOMETIMES WE RUN INTO AREAS THAT REQUIRE MUCH MORE ATTENTION THAN WE FIRST ESTIMATED (AS WAS THE CASE WITH THE MEMBER'S BASEMENT). WE TURN ON THE HALOGEN LAMP AND EVERY IMPERFECTION JUMPS OUT AT YOU AND WE SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS IT TAKES TO BRING THESE AREAS UP TO THE STANDARDS THAT WE STRIVE FOR. THEY GAVE US AN OVERALL A. I CAN'T REALLY PUT INTO WORDS HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL, I WILL TREASURE THE TIME WE SPENT WORKING IN THEIR HOME. THEY ARE INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL PEOPLE. I WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK FOR THEM, AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE I WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE IT OR I WANT MORE WORK FROM THEM, BESIDES WE HAVE ALREADY PAINTED THEIR ENTIRE HOUSE (AND CASHED THE CHECKS, LOL). I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE DONE THEIR HOUSE WHEN WE WALKED AWAY I FELT LIKE I MADE A FRIEND ALSO, AND THEY GAVE US AN A.., WOW. THANKS.

Michael and his wife Cindy came out to our home to provide an estimate and offer color options. Michael's bid was much lower than the previous two ones we obtained. Thus, we were a little worried (you pay for what you get). However, we took a chance. WOW!!!!!!!!!! We are glad we did. Cindy's color suggestions were wonderful. It took four hours to go through the entire house, ensuring the color matches flowed throughout the house. Our house is 11 years old. The previous owners did very little maintenance. As a result, Michael confronted many nail pops?. Average was 200 per room. Michael and his crew prepared and painted each room of our 7,700 square foot house. Michael offered suggestions as he progressed in his work. He used Benjamin Moore paint (very good). He applied three coats of paint for the trimming. In addition, he went above the call of duty, to ensure we were pleased with his work. The only small issue was his crew's timing. At times, they arrived late and left early. This was a 6 week job?. Perhaps if his crew was more conscious of time (time is money), they may have completed the job in 5 weeks. Yet all is wonderful. We are enjoying our house transformation. We would highly recommend Painting by Michael to family, friends and colleagues.
Description of Work: Removed nail pops from each room (ceiling and walls).... Average 200 per room. Removed wall paper. Sanded and primed walls .Painted walls and trim.

They started by using a black light to find ALL the wall and ceiling imperfections and then dug right in repairing, patching, sanding...again and again until Michael was completely satisfied. This was a HUGE job which included caulking and patching extensive amounts of trim and shadow boxing, staining pine wood for our family room ceiling (that carpenters later installed as high beams), wallpapering our dining room, bathroom, mudroom closet, and two bedrooms. And of course painting and MORE painting of our laundry, mudroom, family room, living room, entry, halls, 3 large bedrooms, spare bathroom, bar area and large conservatory. Many rooms have 3 story ceilings and various painting "challenges" that were handled with ease by Michael and Jose. Each room had different colored walls, trim and ceilings but all came together as if I had spent twice this amount and hired a professional designer!
Description of Work: We hired Michael and his right-hand man Jose to paint practically the entire interior of our 6,000 square foot home including ceilings and some wallpaper hanging. Michael's wife Cindy helped us to choose our colors for each space and her eye for color combinations, etc is amazing! In our newly built home, sadly our walls were very poorly finished with MANY nail pops and imperfections. Michael and Jose are really wall "specialists" and most of their time was actually spent replacing nail pops with screws and patching and sanding nearly every wall and ceiling. As Michaels says, "It is all in the preparation" as the end result has left us with a beautiful "Model" home. What especially impresses me about this team is their serious commitment to exceeding your expectations and their professionalism. Their work is outstanding and their customer service is even better. I cannot recommend Michael and crew highly enough!
