Bosco Painting

There was a lot of prep work and caulking to be done. There was only one worker on the job, so it took longer than we anticipated, but he was very thorough and did good work. We did have one hitch with application, and Daniel deducted an appropriate amount because of this. Overall we are very satisfied with the job.

Daniel met me on time and provided a very reasonable quote which prompted me to add additional services. He was also able to meet my timeline for a quick turnaround during what I know is a busy time. The work was professional. I was pleased.

Daniel and his team did a great job.  Daniel was very thorough during the quoting process and offered many helpful tips and suggestions that ended up making a huge difference.  Pricing was fair and reasonable.  His team was very detail oriented.  Not only did Daniel make sure we were satisfied with the work along the way he took extra time to make sure his team delivered.  We are very happy we chose to go with them.

I bought two, but ended up only using one. I got the other one refunded. It was so, so. I paid them more to get the extra days.

We are preparing to sell our house in February and most painters wouldn't even attempt to do exterior painting and staining in the winter however Daniel and his team were willing to help me knowing it would be challenging with the cold and rain.  They did everything need to get the job done including tarping, bringing in heaters and working weekends to get the job done.  The work was done very well and he made sure to come back to do touch up and clean up.  Daniel is also a general contractor so he was able to do some unexpected repairs on the deck and french doors.

We decided to just do the front of the side since it's the most visible and better fit our budget. (We will finish the other three sides and deck in 2016.) It was also near the end of the summer season and harder to schedule with reliable sunny days. Our house was to be his last exterior job of 2015.















Daniel was easy to talk to, and we could tell he was as detail oriented as we were. We called his references, and felt good about our decision. We've had experiences before with painters who did virtually zero prep work so we were very pleased to hear Daniel describe the process. 















We had several paint color combo ideas and took our time (with sample paints) to decide.  Daniel told us of an upcoming 35% sale at Sherwin-Williams (his preferred paint supplier) so that's what we used. When we went to our local Redmond S-W shop they wouldn't let us pay for the paint without ordering it. It was the last day of the sale and we were still deciding on colors. I phoned Daniel and he had his S-W rep step in and let us pay for the paint. This allowed us to get the discount, yet give us more time to buy samples and make a decision.















The Work.















One person came to power wash the entire house. Due to weather the total job took nearly a month to finish but we were okay with that. Painting started with two people carefully caulking all gaps and holes. Daniel then came and started with spraying the base color.















Details.















We decided on four colors; house base, trim, accent trim, and door + bench. This was a dramatic change from a boring 2-color house and really accented the few architectural details. With new garage doors installed six months prior, the house looks fantastic. We can't wait to finish the job next year.















A team of two came back the following week to do touch-ups. They were very accommodating to small changes we wanted, and fixing spots that were missed. The work site was kept clean, and the painters were respectful (no loud music, or litter left on site).















Our only minor issue would be occasional long delays in communication. Because we were the last exterior house he took for 2015, his team was very busy with interior jobs. Nearly two weeks went by between initial start of work and final finish. An email or two wasn't answered, but I was able to reach Daniel via phone. We weren't in a rush to finish, but wanted to make sure we were still on his calendar to get it done before the rains really started.

It went well. They re-scheduled the paint date a few times, but the result was very nice for the price.  Good communication with the company made it easier.
They cleaned up everything when finished, which I appreciated.

Excellent workmanship! Work was done on time and on budget! Always cleaned up each day and was a very pleasant experience! Highly recommend and will use again for future projects!!!

All went well.  They cleaned and sanded the wood where it was needed and repaired some of the wood around the little vent windows.  They sealed any cracks and along the seams of the garage door and the wood/glass doors.
They got it all down in one day, and it was a long day for them.

Bosco provided excellent service, from initial bid to completion.  Daniel, the owner came to do the bid, and then kept tabs on the job while it was being done.  The painters were conscientious and did an excellent job. We had a very good experience with this company.

Bosco painting had a coupon on Angie's List for house exterior painting. My house was bigger than the listed square footage so I had them come out and give me an estimate for what it would cost to paint my home.

I have a 2000 sq. ft. two story, 3 car garage home that hadn't been painted in 10 years.  The quote was for $3500 for labor and materials except for paint which he offered to let us purchase through his contractor account.  We ended up needing 25 gallons of paint for a total cost of $1150.00 Sherwin Williams Resilience paint during their July 4th paint sale.

We needed shrubs trimmed away from the home exterior and they referred me to the owner's brother, Jon who does landscaping. They trimmed several bushes, removed two evergreen trees, weeded and mulched front yard for $350.

Daniel Bosancu (owner) was helpful in choosing colors for the exterior.  His crew came several days in advance to power wash the house and do some prep work caulking, scraping etc. They also power washed the driveway and concrete walkways.

They were scheduled to arrive on 6/22 and they arrived on schedule as promised. They were at our home everyday until the job was completed.  The prep work was done very well and the actual work performed exceeded my expectations in quality as well as professionalism.

During the process of painting the house, Daniel came to check on the progress and discovered that the paint store had delivered the wrong paint finish (flat instead of satin).  He told me of the error and allowed me to choose to have it repainted or receive a discount.  I felt that the weather in Washington needs more than flat exterior paint so I had them repaint the house with the correct finish.

What impressed me the most was Daniel's admitting the error to me knowing that he would probably have to fix it.  I appreciated his honesty and willingness to make it right, which they did immediately after receiving the correct paint later that day.

Our deck was wrapped in plastic as well as any areas that would receive any overspray.

After the work was completed by Daniel (job foreman) and Oscar, we performed a walk-around to inspect for quality, we didn't really find any areas of concern and the two items we did notice, they corrected immediately. Daniel and Oscar did an outstanding job and were extremely hard working, I rarely saw them take a break and it was 95 degrees all week.

One thing I was impressed by was after I paid the final amount on Friday, Daniel Bosancu,(Owner) came back the following Monday to vacuum up any paint chips that remained on the lawn and exterior surfaces around the house, he even offered to hang a new porch light we had purchased free of charge.

I received comments from my neighbors about what a great job the painters were doing and how nice the house looks.  I really appreciated the extra care they took ensuring that cars were away from the paint area to protecting areas that could have impacted my neighbors.

Daniel Bosancu is a genuinely nice guy, honest in his ethics and professional in his attitude and performance. I would and will absolutely call him again to do future work when needed.

Thank you Bosco Painting! It's rare to find a contractor this good!

Bosco Painting did an outstanding job on every detail of the job.  From scheduling (& being on time), to performing the work (and keeping us informed on how it was progressing), and final completion of the job and clean up.  They are professional, respectful and friendly.  We enjoyed having them in our home.  We highly recommend them and will certainly use their services in the future.

Bosco Painting was well worth the money. Originally I saw them as an Angie's List coupon but I knew my house would fall into the "small print" area too much so I actually called the owner Daniel to come out and give me a bid. I have a six bedroom tri-level house with two decks and lots of trim work. 

The thing about my house was that I just bought it in 2013 and the previous owners had "spruced it up" just to get a quick sell. Their spruce up was seriously peeling off all over the outside of the house. They had painted the house a very pale green that quite frankly looked like a olive that had been sitting in a martini too long! It was awful. Large pieces of paint were just falling off the house. They had not only picked the cheapest paint but they had also done no prep work before doing the painting.

Daniel and his crew (especially Mark) showed up and did 2.5 days of prep work. They pressure washed the house. They scrapped away what the pressure washer did not get. They sanding the "alligator" areas to try to get it to blend with the rest of the house. They caulked every nail hole and the put sealant on the exposed wood areas.

For a complete week they were either spray painting, rolling or hand painting the house. Every area was taped and closed off as needed. It was a very hot week so they were very considerate of not totally sealing the house and cutting off the wind flow for us. They did it in stages.

The two decks were nightmares. They have special railing so everything had to be hand painted. My small bedroom deck is a cattery so they were very considerate to get in and get it done so that I could get my cat litter boxes back outside of the house.

Not only did I get my beautiful dark green house with high white gloss trim like I have always wanted but I also got a wonderful clean up job. Even down to sweeping up all the areas just to make sure there were no paint chips left.

The overall performance of the team was amazing but what really impressed me was the final day (today) when I went to make the last payment to Daniel. 

Originally the bid to do my house was $3500 and I buy all the paint. Daniel said that he would use any paint that I wanted but he personally recommended that I use Emerald Paint by Sherwin Williams. He even explained the reason which made sense. I bought the paint directly from Sherwin Williams and all paint stayed at my house while they were working.

Before the job started Daniel asked me to pay 50% down. That was understandable. It allows him to guarantee his people. When I went to pay Daniel I kept thinking that he had quoted me $3900 for the job. I was ready to write out a check for $1950. Daniel very nicely told me "No". One we had decided not to stain the fence so that part was deducted and that the job was for $3500 not $3900. We did not have a contract and I only had his original receipt for my deposit. He could have easily just taken my check. But instead he was honest and my final check to him was for $1650.00. Eventually I may have remembered the right numbers but instead Daniel was honest and for that he will get alot more work from me.
