Chris did a fantastic job! I love my new kitchen cabinets! I had late 80s or early 90s "pink pickled wood" cabinets. Chris sanded, primed and professionally painted my cabinets. He does the base cabinets and drawers on site. He removes the cabinet doors, and takes them to his shop to spray off site. He delivered the doors back to me the following week, as promised. Also, I have a Kitchen Aid refrigerator with the wooden panel insets. Chris painted the doors to match my kitchen cabinets, for far less than buying new inserts from Kitchen Aid. He always was punctual, friendly and a true professional. He would always call or text and let me know when he'd be back, etc. I would definitely have Chris back again, and probably will.

He and his helper Arturo, did an excellent job of tackling this project. I would use them again. They remained committed to the job, until the end, and worked through the monsterous clean up effort. I would be pleased to have their prospective customers inspect our work. Thanks you guys! Well done.

Chris tackled the challenge of scraping, mudding, and painting a popcorn ceiling texture in my family room. This was a challenge because it is a cathedral type ceiling.

Marvelous job! Our 11-year-old house was long past due for new paint. Lots of patching was required in all rooms; Chris and Arturo found and repaired areas we hadn't even noticed. This was an arduous task - the ceilings in the living room and foyer are two stories high. The painters arrived promptly every day, behaved professionally, and completed the work in about 4 days. Our house looks far better than it did when new. I only have three wishes: 1) Wish we hadn't waited so long 2) Wish we had painted after fireplace and foyer tile work and new carpet. The painters didn't spill a drop but the tile guy and carpet installers banged up our newly-painted baseboards. We'll gladly hire Chris to touch up the damage. 3) Wish other types of home improvement services were included in his repertoire. He'd have a full-time job at our house! Keep in mind that this is a small business and Chris is out on the job himself every day. Leave him a message and be patient - he will get back to you - and he is well worth waiting for.

He did a very good job. He primed the walls only because we had not decided what we were going to do or what color if we were going to paint. This was a dining room only. Sorry I can't remember the exact date or costs.
Description of Work
My walls were 10 feet high, and I needed help to finished removing wall paper. He primed the walls.

Chris and Arturo are both professional, reliable and trustworthy. I got about 4 quotes for the job I wanted done and I knew right away that Chris would do a great job-and would make sure we were happy with the work. He and Arturo showed up on time every day, and always made sure I knew about their schedule and how long they would be be at my house each day working (so I could plan my day accordingly). We still have a lot of painting we need to get done in our house-and we will definitely use Chris and Arturo.
Description of Work
Chris and Arturo painted my dining area, the ceilings through-out the dining and kitchen, removed wall paper in two guest bathrooms and then painted those guest bathrooms.

Chris was very friendly and professional. He gave us an estimate an we agreed on a start date. He was able to start early before our original date. He came in on time and was very careful about covering up the floor and furniture while painting. He had our job complete by the deadline. We would recommend him to our friends or family . Excellent job very satisfied !!! He will be doing another job for us in the next few weeks . Thanks Chris and Arturo !

Chris was very easy to get in touch with and to set up the original estimate. He came by the house and walked through the rooms we wanted painted and then immediately gave us a great estimate. The cost was extremely reasonable. After the estimate the work did not start for a couple of weeks because Chris and Arturo were finishing a job in another house. When the work began they were always on time, worked quickly, and did an outstanding job. We were out of town during the last half of the job, but felt very comfortable leaving them a key to the house. They were very neat and tidy, detail oriented. Our overall experience was very good and we plan to use this team again.
Description of Work
Chris and Arturo painted all of the woodwork in the living room and dining room, sanded and painted our kitchen cabinets, painted the kitchen walls and trim, and then painted a jack and jill bathroom (wood work and walls).

He was very helpful in selection of modern colors used by decorators with whom he had worked. He was not satisfied unless the job was perfect and it certainly was. We could not have asked for a better result. Mr Gavin was good about clean up and being considerate of our property. We have already recommended him to a friend and we know they will be satisfied.

Chris and Arturo are both pleasant gentlemen to work with. They were punctual and worked very hard. Chris expected the job to take 3 weeks, but it ended up only taking 2- which I was very happy with. When they were finished Chris aked me if there was anything I wasn't happy with. I noticed some slight bumps in one of the cabinet doors, and I was very hesitant to ask him to fix it because it was so minor. But I did, and he took the doors home and resanded and painted the spots in question. He went out of his way to ensure perfection and I appreciated that. I am very please with how my kitchen cabinets look!!!

I first contacted Mr Gavin 3/08/2014 for a price to paint my master bath. He came and gave a price and advised me to go get the paint from a company on Summer ave. He has repeatedly procrastinated and put me off since then. I need one room done and it needs to be on a Saturday since I do not give my house key to strangers to work in my home when I am not there. All I have gotten is excuses like: "We are behind", We need to catch up and then we can do a good job for you". "Just be patient Ms Crawford and we will work hard for you". Then he says he will talk to his partner to see if he is willing to come on a Saturday to do the job. They never give me a definite time or day and just continue to put me off. I guess my business is not important nor the references I would be willing to provide. Now I have to tell my friends he never calls me back. I got a written bid from him but that's it! Then when I showed him the Angie's coupon, he said it was not valid anymore and Angie's should have removed it long ago. How can I recommend him when he refuses to set a time because he does not normally do Saturdays?!!!! He had initially said yes with reservations adding they "don't do weekends"? But said they would. I am extremely disappointed that he is not professional enough to keep a promise. I think I have been patient long enough. The last time I heard from him was 4/15/2014. I even said "If you cannot do it I will find someone else". Then he again promises to do the job for me...."just let him catch up" with his other (more important) clients. I was even willing to wait another month by asking, "What Saturday in May can you paint my bathroom"? So in my book he gets a big fat F !!!!! So how did it go? It DIDN'T!!!!

I emailed Chris via Angie's List, and he both called me and came to give me an estimate that very same day. He even accommodated my schedule since I work full time and couldn't be home to meet him until the evening. They began the work three days later, on Thursday, with an estimated completion date of Monday. Despite telling Chris that they didn't have to come on Monday if the roads were too dangerous, they opted for a later start time and came around 10 am. The weather delay will likely push the completion date to Tuesday, which is completely understandable. These guys are fantastic. I was more than comfortable giving my house key to so that they could come and go as needed while I was away at work. More importantly, not only are they really nice guys that I was actually happy to have around, their work is absolutely PERFECT. These guys aren't going to slap the paint on the walls and hope for the straightest line possible. Rather, Chris is a perfectionist, and quality is obviously very important to both him and Arturo. They welcomed my feedback and asked if I saw anything I'd like them to touch up or change. (I didn't.) They also took down my existing window treatments and repaired the holes, at my request, and changed the registers in my super tall ceilings, which is obviously above and beyond the call of duty. When I am ready to paint my kitchen and bathrooms, I will definitely hire them again.

Chris painted our den in the fall of 2012. He did a great job and was very fast. We had to wait a few weeks for him to get to us but he kept me informed of his projected arrival. He was very pleasant to work with and completely trustworthy. I had no hesitancy about leaving him in my home working. He was neat and left things in good order each day. He is very intelligent and the most interesting painter I've ever worked with. Chris' dad was a cabinet maker, so Chris is very knowledgable about primers and paints for wood finishes. He removed all of the knobs, and handles and transported the doors to his shop. He was a perfectionists and sprayed them with a commercial sprayer. They were absolutely perfect-he did a superior job. We had originally planned to "glaze" them but they looked so good, we didn't want to cover the awesome finish that Chris acheived. In addition to the awesome paint job, it turned out that many of the doors were crooked which didn't show up very much with the wood finish. But, once painted, it did. He took the extra time to straighten them and drill some new holes, etc. for us. Believe me, Chris is worth waiting for. We thought his prices were very reasonable. The last time that I had some cabinets painted, they peeled and chipped very quickly. This finish isn't going to come off easily. Chris is the best!
Description of Work
He painted our den which has wood trim, built in bookcases and large mantle. He was undaunted by the 12 foot ceilings and the fact that I wanted him to use oil based enamel on the trim and bookcases. The second job was my kitcen and kitchen cabinets. They were a natural birch finish which was well passed its prime. It was a big, demanding job.

Chris Gavin and his assistant recently painted two room downstairs and the entire upstairs of our house built in 1958. We had an estimate from a painter who only wanted to paint and we wanted someone who would repair and improve the scars and blemishes from the years of abuse by teenagers, pets and weather. Chris and his assistant are very detail oriented and anxious to please. They communicated well with us and did an excellent job. They are neat and careful when painting close to hardwood floors and furniture, and they are clean, respectful and amiable men. Our newly-painted rooms look great!!

I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Chris Gavin Painting. Chris came by my house one Wednesday evening, provided a written estimate, and started the job when he said he would. I found Chris to be friendly, efficient, and most importantly to me, he cleaned up after himself at the end of each day.
Description of Work
The original estimate was for painting my den, kitchen, and dining room. When he arrived to start, I asked him to include 2 hallways. Chris gave recommendations on the types of paint to buy, and he provided everything else for the job. Chris was fast, efficient, and cleaned up after himself after each visit. The first day or so, I had made sure that someone would be home while he was painting, but I found him to be so trustworthy that eventually I would leave a key for him and go about my business, just checking in from time to time. I would definitely recommend Chris Gavin Painting. I plan to use him again in the near future.

Called and arranged for an estimate - Chris came and stated exactly what he would do and for exactly how much money. He said he was backed up but would call when he could arrange to do the job - which he did. He came on time; completed the job in a timely manner and did beautiful work. He was prompt, neat, cordial and professional. I would most certainly use his services again.

Chris called me every day and gave me an update. What ever Chris or his crew told me they would do was done in a timely fashion and done just as I asked. The most important thing about Chris and his crew is that they want the customer to have a good experience and be pleased at the end of the job!
Description of Work
We have been remodeling a 2500 sq ft condominium for several months. Chris was one of the first contractors I contacted. I knew at the first meeting I wanted to use his company. I liked the fact that Chris has a small crew that I could talk to and discuss each room's potential. Chris and his crew were a bright spot in the remodeling experience. Chris and his crew were punctual and totally trustworthy. The quality of their work was always superior. My happiness was their goal.
