"Carnival painting pleasantly surprised me with their diligence and desire to make sure I was happy from start to end!! They did a great job!
From the very start of my interaction with Ron and his team they were very professional, and considering the work that had to be done, quite accommodating. I had Ron come out to give me a bid on the project after having several other Angie's list contractors come out. I had gotten general contractors to come out and provide me estimates since the repairs included taking down a wall, repairing wall holes, and fixing paint damage on my cabinets. However, in the end, it turned out I just needed a knowledgeable painter. Ron came out and provided me with a full and DETAILED bid on removing the wall, painting the house, and fixing up my walls subsequent to my plumbing work. The bid also included written up and detailed instructions about my responsibilities and the team's responsibilities.
The work was extensive and I had gotten bids ranging from 15K -30K for the work from the contractors. The various ranges involved more work than was ultimately determined to be necessary. Carnival's bid was reasonable (about 11K + materials) and Ron was up front and honest from the very start about what all the work necessary would be.
One of the main things I had wanted repaired was the painting of my cabinets, on which the paint had been peeling after only 4 years since the prior paint job (before I acquired the house). Ron inspected the paint job and confirmed that in fact the previous owners had painted cheap latex paint on top of oil based paint and had not primed the surface. This resulted in massive peeling. Normally this coat would have had to be stripped before painting with correct oil based paint, but Ron based on his experience and an assessment of the old paint job was able to judge that if a good primer was used, a good enamel based oil paint would work well. I was concerned about this, but in the end Ron was absolutely right. While the primer was strong and smelled terrible, the end result was excellently painted cabinets and wood trim.
I am now back in my house, after having moved out for two weeks to complete the job, and love it. Ron's team did a great job painting and the quality of the work is great. The lines between painted areas are straight and clean, the surfaces are properly painted and the repair patches on the wall are hard to detect. I ended up paying a little more in materials than was originally estimated, but given the results and having supervised the project throughout its term, I understood the reason behind these costs. When I was surprised by one area not being painted, I talked to Ron about our respective expectations, and Ron was flexible enough to allow his team to meet my expectations. Ron even sent out his team to my house again when I indicated that some of the lines and trim were not to my 100% satisfaction and the team did a great job fixing what I was unhappy about. They did a Great job!
Overall, Ron and his team were responsive, professional and did the work timely!! As with all projects, I had to do my part and do some supervision, but it was nothing unreasonable or unexpected. Ron said it would take two full weeks and that's what he stuck to. His willingness to make sure I was happy with the end result and sending out his team to resolve any issues are what will make me continue to recommend him. I might have been able to find a cheaper service, but I know I would not have been as happy with the results or have a warranty to go with it. They did a fantastic job and I am glad I went with them.
