Mario did a fantastic job painting our new nursery - walls, trim and ceiling. After having a cancellation with another service provider earlier in the week, we contacted Mario and he came out next day to assess and quote the room. Two days later he was here to do the work - on time and on the budget we discussed. He came prepared with all of his equipment, showed us the paint color to confirm before he started and got right to work and finished in half a day! He was extremely personable and professional and we would highly recommend him for any job. We hope to work with Mario again the future!

Mario was a very nice guy, professional and punctual and ready to do the work. He also gave great suggestions on what will look better in our home. I called him a week ago and he was able to start the work right away. He even was able to negotiate the price for us that works based on our budget and for that I was thankful. I will definitely contact him again for more work. Thank you Mario edmond and I appreciate you and your hard work,

Mario did a great job painting our top floor apartment on the East Side of Providence. The apartment is lofted with skylights exposed wooden beams, so the painting job was complex work that required a lot of edging. Mario did very precise work quickly. He also was able to recommend a high-quality ceiling paint.

"Thank you for your business! Glad everything is done well and the way you expected. I’m sure will work again in the near future. Best!"

Mario provided amazing service. He called me two minutes after I reached out and was able to help us on a very tight timeline. He provided consultation services and we ended up choosing colors we absolutely love, that all work together. He is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. We’ve already planned out several other projects that we will reach out to him about in the short and long term!

I had Distinctive Painting paint to entire upstairs of my home. The job consist of all the ceilings, walls, trim, doors, baseboard and minor dry wall repair. Mario did a fantastic job on the trim, I was surprised he could paint that close to our hardwood floors and carpets without touching any of them. He correct all the cracks and repaired all screw holes in the drywall and the walls and ceiling looks great. The price was comparable to other quotes that I got. Overall my wife and I were very pleased with his work and will use again.

I can't say enough about Mario and the work that he did. He was prompt when we met for him to survey the area to be painted and provided an initial estimate, which he confirmed with a follow up email less than a day later. He was extremely professional and neat - we were also replacing our carpets so we were fine with him not using drop cloths. He did not get a spot of paint on the carpet. The job involved patching the walls and painting a combined living/dining room, kitchen, hallway, and staircase (including ceilings) and he was done in 2 1/2 days. At the end of each day, he left the house tidy with all his equipment set aside out of the way. I will definitely call him again when we decide to paint other rooms in the house. I highly recommend Mario - you will not be disappointed!

Mario is fantastic. He's extremely professional, punctual, responsive and extremely friendly. His work is top notch - our house is historic and in one room he took off wallpaper and the drywall underneath was just crumbling away. He did a great job repairing it and came out an extra day to get final details done so everything was perfect. Will definitely be using again.

I was satisfied, but I'm getting some peeling already and it hasn't been a month. I took time out of work for health reasons for my mother. The second week I had to have the condominuim I live in painted. I was informed on Tuesday or Wednesday that they don't work on weekends. I was very disappointed and had to basically put my foot down until they felt guilty, and I had them come on Saturday. Then they asked for a little tip, I did give it. I wasn't going to say anything, but he asked me to rate him. I went in the bathroom last night, and the paint was chipping already. I am disappointed. Some of the doors, when I opened them they chipped. I'm like you've got to be kidding me. The heater board, I got to take a nicer cut. He painted it so that the paint can have a nicer texture on it. He seemed knowledgeable.

I had to have my house painted while I was not personally present. He was prompt in going to the house and giving me a fair price with a discount. He worked with my schedule and limitation and delivered an excellent job on time. I was happy with overall results.

Excellent job to Mario and his crew! Mario showed up at the job within 30 minutes of me contacting him. He looked at the job, gave me a quote and started 3 days later. They showed up on time everyday, worked professionally. I spoke with him and his crewman several times and they are very polite, professional and very detailed. There was one small issue and he contacted me right away to let me know about it and how he was going to fix it. The condo was completely finished in 3 days, that included ceilings, trim, closets and walls. Not a paint splatter on any of the carpet or a drip on any of the walls. PERFECTION! I will hire again and highly recommend distinctive painting to anyone. Thank you Mario

Below average attention to detail. LOTS of splatter on floors and baseboards that we're still trying to clean. Although I could not have painted faster, I would;d have painted much better doing it myself.
Response from Distinctive Painting
"This was older house with lots of issues before we started to paint. Lots of splatters were from previous painting and not from us and we even point out that fact to the homeowners. We covered everything and being careful as usual,never got any complain while working there ! It's strange how some people can't be pleased no matter what we do, and we did a lot! Honestly, I don't know where all of this is coming from but my conscience is clear! Thank you!"
