Description of Work: Mark and his son removed painted over grasscloth wallpaper from our foyer, did some minor walk repairs, painted our foyer and upstairs hallway, and removed popcorn from ceiling and repainted. The area looks beautiful. Huge improvement! They were very prompt and professional, which I cannot say for all contractors I've hired in the past! He was also very friendly. Would definitely hire again!

Mark's professionalism began with his on-time arrival to provide estimate. He communicated with us when our estimated date for service had to be rescheduled. He told us when he would arrive, how long he would stay and cleaned up space at end of day. He did a beautiful job and finished when he said he would. We highly recommend Mark and will use him again should the need arise.

We recently moved to the Chattanooga area and moved into a beautiful home that was in need of some tender, loving care. Mark Cole did an amazing job repairing and prepping the walls before he began painting. His painting skills and detail to work are excellent; he is amazing at cutting in! I will be using Mark Cole to paint all of our other projects. A+ rating and highly recommend.

Mark Cole is a phenominal painter, in fact we insist he go by th ename Leonardo, the quality of his work is like none other, we are professional Renovators and typically perform most of the painting, boy are we pleased that we brought Mark to the rescue. we highly recomend Mark for his incredible skills, the homes in Chattanooga can be quite up in age & many painters do not have what it takes to bring these old gems up to the condition in which they deserve.

He could very well be the best painter in the tri-state area - no kidding.
Description of Work: Mark is in high demand, so it took a few attempts for him to come do the estimate. Mark removed the wallpaper in the kitchen and painted the kitchen small hallway and the foyer. His work is superb. If you want something done right, he's the person for the job. I will definitely have him back to paint my two bathrooms. Very pleased with his work.

I called Mark to get an estimate to paint certain areas inside the house. The estimate was fair so when I decided to get the painting done I called and scheduled a time. He was on time and completed the work as in a timely manner. It seems like he takes great pride in his work because the job was well done. I didn't have to point out anything that needed touching up. I was also having a wood floor installed and he told me to call him if there was any touch up needed when the flooring people got done. I would recommend him. He did a great job.

I was amazed at the attention to detail and the care given to the work. It looks amazing, I never realized what actually goes into a quality paint job! I will NEVER strip wallpaper or paint a wall again, I absolutely plan to have him back to do more work as budget allows!

Never say never? We will be happy to come back but the truth is some wallpaper comes off easily and some is much more difficult. You just can't tell by looking how long you'll be doing it. So glad that you love it. It looks great. No more wallpaper, yay!

Mark Cole did an outstanding job for us. It is amazing what a steady and beautiful line a great painter can make! I mentioned that we had trouble with this particular paint drying too fast and that my husband had added a dryer inhibiter. Mr. Cole said it was a difficult paint due to that issue, but you sure couldn't tell it by the results ! My husband and I are both just ecstatic over the work. Mr. Cole is very intelligent and remembers everything you tell him - he had to work with four different paint colors and remembered where every one went, even when similar in shade. He does not rush work and makes sure caulk is dry before painting (he caulked in one short morning and came back the next day to paint). My husband is very much a perfectionist with his own work and the fact that Mr. Cole could get this done in the time he did, and with such a beautiful result, relieved my husband of a lot of time induced stress. Mr. Cole is also very friendly, interesting, and interested. We shared a few details of our other interests, which made the whole experience memorable and personal. I recommend Mr Mark Cole highly - he is worth every penny and more.
Description of Work: Mark Cole caulked and painted all the trim in our basement library, bath, and hall. (We did not get it done before installation.) He also painted a door and frame, and repainted (rolled) a wall in a closet.

Description of Work: What did the provider do? An amazing exhibition of true craftmanship. He is very meticulant and very mythodical in his passion for doing a job well. Mark is some one I trust in knowing he will do a job well done and egar to please the customer. I would absolutley recomment Mark Cole to the highest degree to anyone. He has been a blessing to get to know abd I am so pleased that we choose Mark to change our old house into a new house! we love it! Thanks Angie :-)

Mark arrived on time, worked carefully and with great attention to detail. Nothing I asked was too difficult for him! I am very pleased.
Description of Work: Absolutely the best worker I have ever hired! His attention to detail surpassed my own (and my standards are pretty high). The job took significantly longer than either of us anticipated, but Mark worked as long as it took (and returned the following day) to do a simply marvelous job, with a smile! I plan on having him do more work for me in the near future.

Mark had to clean my deck and screened in porch area. He had to tear down the old screen. He cleaned up all the old material that was stripped off and hauled it away. He did a wonderful job on staining my screened in porch. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone else that needed painting or handiwork done.

What a beautiful deck. I will be back to finish the places that couldn't be stained yet when your new wood cures out and is ready. I am so impressed by the craftsmanship of this deck that you built. Of course, working with a higher quality wood is wonderful! Call me when you are ready for maintenance as well, and I'll come back.

Very poorly, I wasted two days of my time waiting on him.
Description of Work: I called Mark to come to my house for an exterior painting quote. I waited all morning for him to arrive and after several calls, he said he was in an automobile accident and wasn't coming. The following Monday he called and we rescheduled an appointment, again after several calls and waiting most of the day I received a text message saying he wasn't coming. He claimed I gave him poor directions even after him telling me several times he knew where I was located. I don't understand why he has so much trouble as I gave 5 other businesses/persons my address and they found the house without any delays or problems. A few days later I called Mark to see if he would "try" to find my house again, but he would not answer the phone nor would he return my call. Very dissapointed after rearranging my schedule and wasting two days for him to come out. Poor business attitude and mananagement. I will never call him again, or would I recommend him to anyone. Don't waste your time on him.

The member was unable to confirm her zip code. There were three streets with that name in our area. After having gone to all three and phoning her, she gave directions from a local restaurant that also didn't pan out. When she was finally contacted (about a previous estimate) she indicated she was planning to flip a house and just needed to know what it would be worth if she painted it herself. Since there were no services performed, I do not feel this accurately reviews our company.

A large amount of time was spent prepping the house for the final coating of paint. I consider this to be an acceptable practice. Painting was performed with brush instead of spray. Some minor contract change occurred, but this was a result of house conditions. Estimate of completion time was understated, but given sub 100 degree temperature, I did not even want to be outside. The price was reasonable considering the amount of work and former experiences with other painters. Overall, I thought this to be a great experience.
Description of Work: Services included a full exterior paint of siding, window and door frames, porch ceiling, and porch railing. This included paint scraping (not pressure washing), wood damage repair, primer (both oil and latex as needed), caulking windows and doors, gutter and downspouts.

He arrived within 20 minutes of our agreed-upon time. First off, he helped me move all of the furniture and objects from the living room to a safe space. A key sign of his professionalism is that he took the time to patch ALL the holes in the walls from previous picture-hanging experiences and he also patched some anomalies around my windows so they were actually smooth and even on all sides. Another sign of his professionalism is that he strained the paint before he used it. He sanded, primed, and painted the room in 2 visits. The walls look great now! Not a drop of paint on my furniture, rugs, or walkways. He cleaned up after himself. He even gave me some tips on optimizing my stereo hook-up and helped me hang a chandelier in my daughter's room. Still, what he quoted me is what I paid. All in all, a very pleasant experience for me.
Description of Work: I hired Mark to paint my odd-shaped living room. It has a cathedral ceiling and architectural soffits. It was a dark burgundy color and I opted for a neutral taupe.
