"As someone who struggles with selecting paint colors and visualizing the final product, Lee was extremely patient and helpful in helping me choose what would look nice in my home! I'm thankful for his guidance and his professionalism! He got the job done quickly and everything looks great. He took great care in cleaning up after each day he was working in my home which was greatly appreciated. Lee even noticed some other things in my home that required repairs outside of just painting which he was happy to take care of for me. I would recommend Splash O Color Painting to all of my family, friends and clients for high quality service at a fair price!"

"He was awesome. He called back, but he was working in Reed field, North Carolina and he could not get to us for a couple of days. By the time, he got to us we had already gotten the other estimates, and we were pleased with him. Hampton guy was great. He was really quick to get back to us, but he had other projects that he had already lined up. The experience was very satisfactory. He was very courteous, and prompt. He was very honest in saying that he cannot get to us, and if we needed to have this work done now, then we need to have to get somebody else. I appreciated that."
