We were very impressed and satisfied with the workmanship, professionalism, and punctuality from beginning to end. From ceilings to walls to trimwork to mouldings, all work was expertly done. I'd highly recommend Dunbar painting to all, and have already scheduled Kris for some additional work in a few months.

Fantastic! Kris was super responsive as soon as I reached out and provided a very acceptable quote right away after seeing photos of the space and knowing measurements. He was even helpful in suggesting paints! He arrived promptly at 7:30am and worked very diligently all day. We thought 2 coats would be enough but you could faintly see the lines from when I painted test colors on one wall so Kris actually did 3 coats for no additional charge. I could not be happier with the outcome of his hard work! Our first floor looks perfect! We will absolutely hire Kris again in the future to paint our stairwell after we are finished moving things in and probably other rooms upstairs as well. I definitely recommend him!

Kris was professional, reliable, and friendly. He walked us through the process and put in the time to do the project right. We’re thrilled with how it all turned out. He’s one of the best contractors we’ve worked with.

It did a good job of explaining various aspects of the process. They did a wonderful job and they did it quickly.

Kris is a great painter. He is meticulous. In addition, he is very tidy. At the end of every day, he had all of his materials cleaned up. I would never consider using a different painter.

Kris did a wonderful job patching over the holes.  He very thoughtful and precise about it.  Then he expertly painted the house very quickly.  You cannot tell there were ever repairs done to the walls.  He was very communicative about what he was doing and finished ahead of schedule.  Overall, we are extremely pleased.

Kris was excellent.  Showed up early, finished early.  Made suggestions and prepped in depth a week ahead of time.  Very easy to work with and the job was done expertly.

Kris was neat, smart, punctual and focused on quality. He spent five days straight making sure everything was perfect and my unit now looks like a completely different space. We brainstormed a few ideas together when we first met and he uses only quality products. He works alone, so the job gets done right. Highly recommended!

Kris was very courteous and professional from the first call. He arranged a time to do an estimate within a few days and showed up on time and carefully evaluated the job from room to room. He provided a detailed estimate within a couple days and also gave a date for when he could start, which was a few weeks away. He started exactly when he said he would and worked continuously for the rest of the job. He showed up every day but even if he hadn't he strikes me as the type who would be careful to notify you if he wasn't going to come one day. He is very trustworthy and I was always confident he was being careful with the house, locking up, etc. He got a lot done every day, yet there was never any dust or other paint-related mess when I got home. He was also very accommodating about paint selection because I needed to avoid oil-based paint and VOCs. He sent an email most days just updating me on the status of things and asking questions and bringing up helpful considerations. As for the results, the walls and woodwork turned out gorgeous, like new again, despite being almost 100 years old. The results were especially astounding in the room that had serious plaster damage--there was no trace when he was done. Even my little vanity project (the metallic band), which required a really detailed eye, turned out amazing. I am hiring him again soon to sand down the main staircase and paint the risers and stain the treads, and possibly for some exterior painting. So, I highly recommend him!

Kris is terrific. He responded quickly to my initial request and made a date to stop by and evaluate the job. The estimate arrived soon after and was quite reasonable. My schedule was flexible and so waiting for Kris was no problem. It was well worth the wait!
Kris is honest, experienced, thorough, and easy to work with. I am really pleased with the painting.

They cleaned up after work everyday and their price was within budget but the quality of their craftsmanship is really good. It's hard to find a good plasterer these days. The older gentleman really seemed to have everything together as far as setting up the job, keeping the place neat, and not trapping dirt into the house. They did an excellent job!

I CANNOT say enough about Kris. His attention to detail and his care for his work is impeccable. He even asked my neighbors if jt was okay that he covered their plants while he was painting, in order to protect them. He went the extra mile. The only (and I'm reaching here) downfall is that he IS his business, so you have to be patient. But trust me, its absolutely worth the wait. Fantastic work in both ethic, accommodation and execution.

Kris was very punctual, from getting me an estimate to doing the work.  The quality was great and he kept my house clean.  The walls look so good that I don't want to re-hang my art.

Kris was extremely professional, did an outstanding job, and cleaned up after himself.  He was on time and came prepared with everything needed.  Kris was a great help in choosing the right kind of paint and finish for the projects and I was very satisfied with his work.  I would highly recommend Kris to anyone needing a good painter.
