I couldn't have been happier with the results--and I'm very picky! Dave (the estimator) was punctual, professional, and friendly--he even returned to work directly with me & the crew to ensure the texturing would be precisely what I wanted. The crew was also very professional--right on time--and took great care with every detail (many kudos to Reina for her outstanding management of the project!). The crew moved the furniture, neatly covered every surface (furniture, floors, carpeting, shower area, paths from the front door, down the hall and to the master suite, cabinets, spa area, etc.) with protective covering, and performed all work extremely well and to a level of perfection that met even MY very strict standards. The company sent out Kathy, (extremely personable!) to check the status and performance of the crew each day and to ensure my satisfaction. Clean up was outstanding--and they did in 3 days what would take most companies over a week to perform if done as well!

From the start to the exit things went as Judy and the painting crew said it would. There were no surprises, they took care of our things as if they were their own. They even helped me re-arrange a couple of rooms when they put it back. It was a very positive experience and we highly recommend Southern.

Southern has excellent workmanship as my house looks great! The job was finished exactly when I was told it would be. The only minor complaint I had was the workers were slightly messy with their waste. The job was finished completely in three days.

The painting work looks good with texture nice, consistent, and smooth on both the garage door and the front door. However, when they painted the garage door, they locked it and did not unlock it when they were done. When I got home and tried to raise the garage door, the door became damaged and I had to call a garage door repair company to come fix it. I called Southern Painting to inform them of the facts of the situation, but they refused to pay for the damage to the garage door (they said I was supposed to know that it was locked before attempting to raise it). I personally don't agree, but I suppose others could form different conclusions.
Response from Southern Painting Collin County
"AS THE SALES SERVICE MANAGER IN CHARGE OF THE WORK DESCRIBED HERE I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY ONE POINT. THE MOTHER OF THE CUSTOMER OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR, WE ASKED HER TO, SO IT COULD DRY. SHE WAS CLEARLY SHOWN THAT THE DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN TO DRY WITH A SHEM TO KEEP IT IN PLACE. WHEN THE DOOR WAS USED WITHOUT THE NEEDED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MOM AND THE CUSTOMER, THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WHEN IT WAS EITHER OPENED OR CLOSED WITHOUT REMOVING THE SHEM. WHILE WE REGRET THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WE DID NOT IN FACT DO THE DAMAGE AS I EXPLAINED TO THE GENTLEMAN AT THE TIME."

Owner Steve MacMeeken canceled day of appointment. Rescheduled. Owner got to home too late to do estimate on exterior (dark). Promised to do and leave estimate while I was out of town for holidays. Had 12 days to do and did not. Called owner upon my return. Hard to reach owner. Not responsive. Called him Monday of this week (4 days ago). No call back. Poor responsiveness. Poor service. I will not be a repeat customer as I had hoped. Would not recommend.
Response from Southern Painting Collin County
"I REGRET THIS HAPPENED TO A CUSTOMER. AT THE TIME I WAS RELOCATING OUR OFFICE TO PLANO AND HAD A LOT GOING ON AS THE OWNER AND IT GOT AWAY FROM ME. WHAT I CAME TO REALIZED WAS I CAN'T ESTIMATE JOBS ANY MORE AND RUN THE BUSINESS. SO NOW I LEFT THAT TASK TO THE OTHER FIVE ESTIMATORS IN THE OFFICE AND THAT LEAVES ME OPEN TO HANDLE MATTERS AT HAND. I'M SORRY THAT WE LOST A GOOD CUSTOMER BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE MEMBER FOR BEING HONEST SO I COULD LEARN FROM HER TO MAKE SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGIAN. OWNER STEVE MACMEEKEN"

Late for estimate, late for work. Called at 8.30 pm to state would be starting work following morning at 8.30 a.m., but did not show up on time and did not give courtesy call. Arrived at 10 a.m. Work was done hastily, uneven. Drip marks on door, paint on front entry way and sidewalk were left to be cleaned by owner. The final bill was $200 plus more than estimate. They were fast and they were cheap, so I can honestly say I got what I paid for.

The crew arrived on time, did an excellent job, and cleaned up after themselves. We are pleased with the quality of the work provided.

SOMETIMES IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO GET AHOLD OF THE MAN RUNNING THE COMPANY, BECAUSE HE'S ON ANOTHER JOB. IT MAY BE A DAY, BUT HE WILL CALL YOU BACK.

LUIS AND HIS ASSOCIATE DID A GREAT JOB (VERY NICE, WONDERFUL PAINTING JOB) HOWEVER, BEWARE OF THEIR SCHEDULING - ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ONLY HAVING THEM DO A ''SMALL'' (ONE ROOM) JOB. WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A ONE DAY JOB, TURNED INTO A 2 (ACTUALLY 4 DAY JOB) DAY JOB AND I WAS PUT-OFF TWICE, DUE TO THEIR OTHER SCHEDULING CONFLICTS (AS WELL AS 2 CONFLICTS OF MY OWN). BUT THERE'S NO WAY I COULD HAVE COMPLETED THE JOB ON MY OWN AND AM GLAD TO HAVE PAID THEM TO DO IT. THEY PUT THE BLINDS BACK UP, PROTECTED MY FURNITURE AND CARPET VERY WELL AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULT.

DAVE HANDLED OUR HOUSE IN A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER. HIS CREW WAS ON TIME AND VERY COURTEOUS. DAVE CAME BY PERIODICALLY TO CHECK UP ON THINGS AND TO MAKE SURE WE WERE SATISFIED WITH THE WORK BEING DONE.
