North Beach Painting Co is a single-owner, single-painter company that has done quality work in the Seattle area for the past 21 years. What this means to you is that the same person who does your bid also does your work. That's me, Dennis Pauley. My emphasis is on meticulous preparation - the key to all quality painting - and the protection of your home and belongings throughout the course of the project. I also emphasize strategy of scheduling to minimize the impact on your life while I am in your home. I work with you to determine the best sequence of job elements to make sure at the end of each day you still have a fully functional house and it remains so for the entire duration of the project. All my work is hand brush and roller - old school style - and I only use the best low and no VOC paints. In the majority of cases I recommend Benjamin Moore Paints, but I am willing to work with you and your preferred paint as well. There are a lot of quality, safe products on the market these days. I also take great pride in helping you choose the right color for your project. Besides lending you my experience on what different colors do in different settings, I also will assist you in applying samples on your wall in different locations and in different lighting so you can be confident in what a color will actually look like when it is applied in your actual house. No tiny color chip surprises! I do full houses, of course, but I also specialize in turning around small projects - single rooms and hallways - that are on your nagging wish list. While I usually have a very full schedule, I can almost always find a hole in that schedule to fit in a small quick turn-around job that is an emergency to you. That is just the nature of the flexibility of my business structure. So please give me a call to set up a bid on your project or to just ask me a general question about painting. I really enjoy helping you solve a painting problem whether you contract me for a job or not.

Description of Work: I got the big deal late in the summer but wanted to use it for outdoor work. We couldn't find a time that would work given the weather so waited for the following year. But it took us a long time to work out estimates and such and it turned out the work needed far exceeded what we expected and had in the big deal. In addition scheduling continued to be difficult through the summer season. So we agreed to just return the big deal and part ways.

Very well.
Description of Work: Exactly what I wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future. I had a problem with a sticking door due to a previous painter who had fixed it once but wouldn't come back when that repair wasn't successful. North Beach Painting figured out what the problem was, repaired it and it is perfect. I would highly recommend them.

Description of Work: He came on time and did what I asked. My only issue was that I hadn't been told to provide primer so we had to be creative. Still, yes, I would hire him again. Don't remember the price but it was exactly what was promised when I purchased it.

Dennis was cordial on the phone, arrived promptly for our appointment, and was professional in his approach. He provided a complete estimate for the exterior painting to be performed. The estimate was in the middle range of prices quoted, but another painting contractor was chosen based on price and previous work performed by the chosen contractor.

This was all around a great experience. He came over a few days before to see what I wanted done, then I showed him where I had a key hidden so he could come over when I wasn't home. Saturday morning I came over (because I hadn't moved into the house yet) and he was already here working away. He did a fantastic job and didn't try to cheat me out of time or milk me for more money. I will certainly call him again if I ever need painting work.
Description of Work: I purchased the 8 hour painting tune up through angie's list. He fixed all of my horrible cutting lines and painted all the trim and baseboards in my living room.

It was an excellent experience. It was an offer price, so we got a discount on the total price. He did a very good job. He painted our pantry doors white and he did an excellent job. Normally, he would not have been able to finish it in four hours because one has to wait until it dries and then paint the next two coats. So he took out the pantry doors, did it at home, came back and put it back in its place. He did this tiny spot outside, which I pointed out to him. It was a good painting job and he was just extremely friendly. He was very reliable and it was a very good experience.
Description of Work: I used North Beach Painting Co for painting a tiny part on the outside and the inside. It was more of a correction painting and repainting some areas.

Dennis is fantastically responsive. He answers e-mails by the next day if not within hours. He came on time, was efficient and cleaned up completely. Fantastic value for what his charges. He went above and beyond repairing the water damage on a window sill I'd asked him to paint. I was really impressed. I will use him again and feel lucky that I know a great painter.
Description of Work: Dennis painted wood trim and casing around 3 windows, repairing water damage on one. He also repaired holes in the walls and painted them from various decorations in 2 other rooms.

I was looking for an interior painter to do some touch up painting in our 'multi colored' house to get it ready to put on the market. I looked through the reviews of interior painters on Angie's List and saw North Beach Painting had a deal for either 4 hours of touch up painting or 8 hours of touch up painting. I called Dennis of North Beach Painting to see if he would be able to do this job in the next week or two, because of getting the house ready so quickly to sell. He was very easy to talk with and he answered all of my many questions and told me he could come out whenever I needed. So I bought the 8 hour deal on Angies List. I called Dennis back and scheduled him very conveniently for when most of the other work was completed in the house. He arrived promptly and stayed the full 8 hours and touched up all of the little dings, and even re did a whole hallway wall. I had taped children's artwork all over it and over a few years the wall looked well worn. Keep in mind that each room has a different color in our house. I had lined up many paint cans that were 7 years old and Dennis was able to use that paint for the touch ups. He brought all of the supplies except for the paint. When Dennis was finished, he cleaned everything back up and left the house looking spotless and like the whole house had been repainted. I was very happy with Dennis's work. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to do painting. He answered all of my questions before, during, and after his work. He was very professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Dennis came over to do touch up painting throughout the house to get it ready for selling. Having 2 small kids (6 & 8) the walls were pretty dinged up and fingerprinted. We have many different colors in the house (every room is different and hallways are different colors:at least 14 different colors). Dennis primarily filled in dings and painted them and touched up smudges, etc.

We bought 2 of the Angie's Deals for 4-hours of painting to have Dennis come in for the day to work on a few outstanding projects in our home. From my very first phone call prior to purchasing the deal to the completion of our highest priority tasks, Dennis was very polite, responsive and professional. He came in the day after our kitchen remodel was completed and went right to work on getting the kitchen prepped and primed for painting and caulking. He completed the kitchen and was able to also paint around our skylights, finish a vaulted accent wall, and two accent walls in the to-be nursery. I think we gained great value from hiring Dennis for the day, and am pleased with the quality of his work. There was a bit of touch-up I did here and there in the kitchen afterwards, but those spots were mostly left from the contractors working on the kitchen remodel and normal wear and tear. We will definitely consider having him back to take care of any more painting needs we might have.
Description of Work: - Kitchen ceiling and walls primed and painted on new (textured) drywall - Kitchen wall baseboards caulked and painted - Living room vaulted accent wall finished and caulked (most of it was painted already; I just didn't do the very top tall edge) - Wall area above stair landing surrounding skylight and windows painted - 2 accent walls in nursery room painted

I purchased an Angie's Deal and was contacted the same day by Dennis of North Beach Paint. We soon arranged a date that would work for both of and Dennis was very accommodating. We had a pre-arrival discussion so we knew what we needed to have on hand and prepped to make the best use of his time. He arrived on time on the scheduled date and I explained what we wanted, Dennis asked a few questions, and then went to work. Dennis was meticulous and went above and beyond, caulking a room that had some gaps in the baseboard and sanding a few drips from previous painters. We inspected each area with Dennis and he touched up a couple areas not covered fully with the first and only coat. (our choice because of time constraints) When he was done, he vacuumed each room and then cleaned up the sink and bathroom area better than when he arrived. Dennis was thorough, highly qualified and nice. I would recommend him to anyone that needs painting done. Dennis also followed up twice to make sure we were pleased and that the single coat covered well. (it did)
Description of Work: 2 bedrooms painted including ceilings, and a ceiling in another bedroom painted. 1 coat in each room over existing light color we didn't like.

Dennis Pauley did an excellent job painting the whole interior of our house. Everything was done with the highest care and expertise. And having one person do all the work rather than having a large crew come in really made a difference in both quality and dependability. His attention to detail was amazing. Our house is 100 years old and has a ton of trim work. Dennis is the guy for details, his trim painting is wonderful. There are no drip marks and the lines are straight even where the walls aren't in this old house. He triple checked all of his work and left everything perfect including all finish work including returning all furniture, window treatments and fixtures. The prep work was a big job including some rather big repairs in walls and some elaborate priming of things such as kitchen cabinets. He made sure to take all of the correct and tedious steps to ensure the end result was beautiful and long lasting. ?Not only was his work top quality but it was great to have someone whom you trust around the house. ?Dennis worked at our house for six weeks while I, a pregnant stay at home mom and my toddler were there most of the time. His work never interrupted our daily routine and in fact was fun for my daughter. He didn't mind her "helping" or chatting with him. He made sure to clean up at the end of every day and worked in one area at a time leaving the rest of the house available for us. Not only was he very conscientious of our daily schedule, he also put our safety first. There was very little dust, paint or chemical odor. ?Most of the products he used were low or non VOC, but in the rare needed case he let us know in advance if a product or procedure was at all hazardous. Really Dennis worked around us! ?Dennis is also very kind, he was helpful and patient with my changing paint choices. ?He didn't even mind when I requested?a specific paint color and brand from a store other than his usual supplier. Dennis does top rate, high quality work, is flexible, friendly, dependable and trustworthy. I will hire him in the future for all painting and will highly recommend him to all of my friends and family.

The exterior of our house was in bad shape and hadn't seen paint in a long time. The eaves of the house were in particularly bad shape with peeling paint and there were areas of existing exterior walls next to areas of new exterior walls and windows because we had done a little addition and installed new windows throughout. Dennis prepped all surfaces thoroughly -- cleaning, scraping old peeling paint away, patching, sanding and priming -- and then painted a two-tone color scheme (walls one color, windows and trim another color). Each day he cleaned up after himself before leaving and tidied up the area. We were very pleased with the results and will call Dennis when our house needs another exterior paint job. The interior jobs he has done for us have been smaller jobs but we have been equally pleased with his work. Again, his attention to prep is great. For the interior jobs I really appreciate his tidiness and clean-up at the end of each day since we have always been living in the house when he has done these jobs for us.
Description of Work: Dennis Pauley has done both exterior and interior painting for us over the past eight years. The first job he did was the exterior of our entire house. Following that job he has been in our home for a variety of interior jobs approximately eight different times. Each time has been a very pleasant experience. Dennis is prompt, friendly, detail-oriented, fair and a good communicator. He uses Benjamin Moore paints which are superior. Dennis is a one-man show so he handles bids, prep, painting and billing. This means the guy you are talking to is the guy who will do the work -- no mix-ups with a middle-man. Finally, Dennis is an excellent painter, which means he spends time prepping the surfaces to be painted to ensure the paint job will last.

He contacted us ahead of time to confirm paint types and colors and estimate the job. He offered to get trial paints and try them on the walls but we opted out of this. He gave a start date and the job started on that date. He offered to move furniture but we chose to move it ourselves and have it ready for him when he arrived to save time. He painted the rooms, stairway, trim. He cleaned up and put away tools at the end of each day. The quality and professionalism of the painting was excellent. - flawless. The job was about a day longer than orignianlly thought but it was done well and was well forth it.
Description of Work: He painted 2 rooms and a stairway/hallway in my house. The quality was excellent and he was extremely professional. He always cleaned up very well at the end of each day. He arrived on time and was always thoughtful of any other activities that were going on in the house. We have a steep stairway with a high ceiling and skylights. These were all tough challenges and they were done very well. He always kept us informed as to what he was doing and when he was doing it. It was a great experience. I would hire him again - and actually I have! I have hired him several times over the past few years and have always been very happy.
