Charged $1,100 for two workers for one day.  One was a helper and didn't really know what to do.  The painting is OK, but the helper did not get all the storm windows and screens back on the windows at the end.  I will get bids from other painters before I use them again.

They were great! Alberto, the project manager, was wonderful. The crew was excellent, arriving on time, getting right to work, and working until the job was completed. They even pulled seven-day weeks! I tell everyone that will listen about how great the service and the end result were while working with Home Works Painting.

This company is the best group of painters we've ever used. They were extremely conscientious about protecting the floors and furniture and were very polite and friendly. They showed up on schedule and completed the work as promised. A real plus was the fact that there was a team leader on site so you had one person to go to with questions/concerns and also someone to keep an eye on the workers and the work to make sure things went as promised. The price was not the cheapest estimate we had gotten, but you get what you pay for. As this was the highest quality paint job we've ever gotten, it was well worth the expense. We would not hesitate to use this company again or to recommend them to others.

We were extremely pleased with the entire process. They all did an excellent job. Beautiful work and cleanup. We would definitely use them again.

They are very professional and they showed on time and did the job efficiently.  I would use them again.

Professional every step of the way. Detailed and thorough estimate. Perfect preparation and immaculate cleanup. Total attention to caring for our belongings. Prompt and courteous. Wonderful results.Completed the job in the time estimated. We will use them again and again and recommend them without reservation.

Mike, the owner was prompt and professional for initial estimate.  Crew was timely, courteous, and clean.  Excellent work from start to finish.

Good.

They cleaned up so well you couldn't even tell they had been there.  We had some light bulbs missing and they even installed those for us.  They got in and out in the time they said they would be done.  Our neighbors saw the work and wanted to use the company as well.  I also plan to have them do the outside of the home.

Completed project promptly and professionally.

Poorly
Sent out 5 guys for a full day. Cost a fortune. Very little exterior painting needed as very little exterior wood on house. Tried to charge me another $1200 just to paint a few shutters. While they were here they permanently damaged my screen door, broke lock and screen. They cleaned all their brushes in my grass in front and back yard. I have a utility sink they could use. No one on crew spoke English so I could not communicate with anyone. It was awful!

It turned out fine. We are under a stress mode here with company coming and they were scheduled for later. Since we had beautiful weather this week they were able to come out earlier. They sent three guys the first day and five the second so they could finish in two days. We had a concern because our windows were trimmed in aluminum so they only needed to paint the window frame. They matched that up very well. They took just a short lunch break and it seemed that each person knew exactly what to do. They gave us a 5-percent senior discount and were very accommodating when giving us the estimate. Their price was comparable to one quote we got but a little higher than two others. I would say they gave us the going price for what we got. We very pleased with them.

They gave us an estimate and price first. They came in and did their work. They did a really good job.

Company arrived on time, wasted no time in preparing exterior wall to be painted. As stated before, scraped old paint away from surface, primed wall before painting the exterior wall. Very professional, overall nice job.

JR, the field supervisor, arrived on time, reviewed the work to be done and provided a quote within 24 hours.
We made some small changes to the contract and agreed on a start date.
The Homeworks team arrived on time, worked quietly and efficiently during some of the hottest days this year.
They used the best paint available (according to Consumers Report) and applied two coats to all surfaces.
Just as important, they kept paint off the surfaces where it did not belong.
The paint crew did not smoke or play loud music while working. 
We provided them a cooler of cold drinks while they were here.
I was pleased with the work and will hire them again when needed.
Our experience could not have been better.

I got a referral from a real estate agent on the Vienna Moms board raving about this company.  I called for an estimate and was treated very professionally.  JR came out for an estimate.  From speaking with him on the phone, I could tell he was very experienced and seemed professional and straight forward.   I asked about the prep work for the shutters before painting.  He said they would be thoroughly cleaned and sanded before applying paint.   Got just 1 other estimate since it was a small job and Home Works was about $50 more, but I felt more comfortable with the professionalism of Home Works thus far and went with the higher bidder.   Day of, guy came out and said someone was supposed to have dropped off the paint for him.  It was not here so he said he was going to go get it and be right back.   Hours later, I called JR and left a message asking where the guy was.   He finally got here and just used a dry paintbrush to dust off the shutters and started painting them.  I asked him why he wasn't prepping how JR and the written estimate said they would with sanding and cleaning thoroughly.   He said "Aw, you don't need it.  This is good."   I admit, I should have pushed further here, but I didn't, I would have been late for picking up my daughter.  By the time I had gotten back he was done.   He missed some spots and politely went over the spots I pointed out.  It looks fine now, I am just worried that it won't hold up since the surface wasn't prepped right (thus the "C" for quality).  
I gave a "C" for value since I didn't get what I paid for.  The price for the job was an A, if the prep had been done.  Without that, the whole job just took about 1 1/2 hours so that is a super expensive hourly rate.  Wouldn't use again since they used a subcontractor and didn't insure painter abided by exactly what was promised for the job.   Too bad to, since the front office and estimator were great to work with.

Home Works is a fantastic company, with very professional managers and work crews.  Mike Katounis came out and gave a detailed estimate, and provided a very reasonable discount for work scheduled during the slower winter months.  The field supervisor and work crews were professional, knowledgeable, very experienced, and responsive throughout the process.  We had the entirety of our basement walls, trim, and ceilings primed and painted, water stain remediation and painting in our kitchen and den, and an upstairs bedroom repainted.   I was particularly impressed with the crew's experience, friendly demeanor, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the job.  In all the rooms painted, the crew sanded, primed, and fully corrected a series of preexisting imperfections, making the walls look like new.  The job took several days due to the extent of work involved, and the crew was always very punctual, efficient, tidy, and not at all intrusive.  They would give us an hour advance notice before starting to work on another room (which was particularly helpful for our planning purposes in the kitchen and den areas), and would consult with us on their progress along the way, to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction.  Most importantly, the crew took great care with their work and our home in general throughout the process - they were meticulous and thorough, treating our home as if it was their own. 



We have hired Home Works for two other exterior painting jobs, and were equally impressed with them and their results each time, and have emphatically referred them to family and friends.  We will certainly hire them for any home painting jobs in the future!

All went well. Most of the work was done in one day. The deck was cleaned one day and then stained several days later.they kept e informed about when the work would be done.
