Piece of Cake Painting is simply the best. The painters Raphael and Jose did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home and our, our garden shed, and our substantial amount of fencing. We are exceptionally detail oriented and Raphael and Jose met all of our rather picky expectations. Both Raphael and Jose stayed late and worked some weekend time to keep things on schedule (due to some unexpected bad weather,) and to make sure everything was done just the way we wanted. The results really speak for themselves; we just love the new look of our house! Everyone was also very professional, on time, and great to work with. The owner Mike Bloom arrived on time to assess the job and he provided a bid the next day. I signed the bid and that reserved my place on the schedule. About a week before the scheduled start Mike got in touch to get paint colors and begin the process. Before anyone painted anything Mike, Raphael, Jose and I did a complete walk through of the job to look at all the details and make sure we were all on the same page with what would be done. Piece of Cake will always be our first call for all of our painting needs.

Perfect - complete dust control and cleanup.
Response from PIECE OF CAKE PAINTING CO
"I remember these doors because there were like 4 doors in one small hallway. It looked like someone painted latex based paint over oil based paint and they didn't properly prep the surface. And based on the age of the house, there could have been lead in the paint before, so we had to be very careful and clean. We used our HEPA vac and lots of plastic! We completed the doors which was pretty amazing in an 8 hr period!"

The job took about two weeks plus a few day for pressure washing and drying time. The first week was devoted to extensive prep that included sanding, scraping and careful taping. The second week was devoted to priming and application of two coats of body and trim paint. We were very satisfied with the final result and the old house has never looked better. The crew worked hard and skillfully under the direction of Jose and Rafael. As a result the team worked efficiently together and despite the heat seemed to enjoyed themselves in the process. More important perhaps was the ability of the manager and team lead to interact with me the client; both proved to be able listeners and my day-to-day contact Rafael was a skilled communicator and possesses a natural ability to put his clients at ease. I would unequivocally recommend Piece of Cake Painting should these employees be still engaged with the company.

"Thanks for the shiney review. Our process of prepping and painting exteriors of classic houses goes beyond what others do, because we believe in long term results. My team has been trained and we can handle houses like yours."

The half bath turned out well, as did most of the kitchen. There was a small amount of wall damage on one wall that we didn't see until after the painters left. Also: although the cork floor was covered with cardboard the ladders and other tools scuffed and damaged our cork floors.
Response from PIECE OF CAKE PAINTING CO
"A couple of things about this review, the work was done in 2014, any problems should have been discussed [Member Information Removed] back then so we could rectify the situation. We fix things and make them better, we don't damage walls and floors and just walk away. I'm sorry this didn't get handled back then, if you would have shared these concerns they would have been addressed. No reason to suffer in silence, until now. Also, I disagree with a C rating when all the categories were B ratings."

Mike, the owner, and his crew did a great job and were very careful about not leaving drips anywhere.  The painted lines are also straight.
Response from PIECE OF CAKE PAINTING CO
"Thanks for the shiney review. This wasn't the first project we did for this customer and she trusted us to do more painting. Her concern was that we were painting her walls and didn't want us to get paint on the trim or carpet. Since my guys are masking experts, we made her happy by doing our best work, clean and no sloppiness. Thanks again!"

Mike was great. He worked with me to figure out a plan for the paint and repairs that needed to be done. He and his team were responsive, professional and patient as we figured out colors and how everything was going to work on the house. We LOVE the results. Thank you Mike and your great team!

Great...We went over everything on the phone, so as not to have any glitches, and it worked out fine.
Response from PIECE OF CAKE PAINTING CO
"Thanks for the good review. I say this a lot but it's true that we are committed to making each customer happy. Most of the time, we under promise and over deliver, but when that doesn't happen its a matter of expectations being higher than we can deliver. In this case, everything worked out great. Super nice customer and good quality work by us."

Piece of Cake painting did not come to look at the job until the day the work was scheduled. At that point they told me it would be a one day job. They sized and scoped the work themselves, in person and on site. But at the end of the day they were only half done -- there was a lot of wasted time. I had to schedule another day, after which they came back with an inflated amount they expected me to pay over and above the Angie's List deal. I made a counter offer for a reasonable amount but Michael, the owner, told me he would collect his desired amount and nothing less. I refused to pay the inflated amount, and so Piece of Cake took me to Small Claims court. The judge there settled the case for a more reasonable amount then the total Piece of Cake had filed for. If Michael at Piece of Cake checks, he will find that the amount he “won” in court was the same reasonable amount (to the penny!) that I had originally offered for the extra days work, plus his fee to serve the court notice. So he didn’t really “win” anything, the judge simply agreed with my estimate of a reasonable amount. And of course he wasted my time and his sitting in court. This is all a public record now so you can probably get the transcript if you'd like to get a sense of what it is like with this company. (It is interesting because the judge asked him to reveal the amount he pays the painters on his staff.) Oh, and at the end of the hearing Michael tried to get the judge to issue a gag order so I couldn't post this review. Thankfully the judge was aware of the first amendment and refused. And by the way, like some of the other posters here the paint is already starting to chip and peel, not even six months later. I strongly advise finding some other painting service. P.S. I see Michael has added his comment that he “won” the case and that I am misrepresenting what happened. Again, read the above and if really curious get the court transcript – that’s all I can say! I wonder how many more of his future customers will end up being “poor customers” like me?

"This guy misrepresented the scope of the work, tried to cheat us out of paying for it and then suggested that we let a King County Judge determine the outcome. So I did file suit in Small Claims Court as he suggested and I won! I have written proof that he understated the size of the job, I have written proof that he refused to pay and I have written proof that he was happy with the quality of the work. I knew that he would leave us a bad review after loosing in court so I asked the Judge if he could ask the cheapskate to refrain from leaving a bad review. This customer purchased an 8 hr one day promotion then asked us to come back and paint the other half of his bathroom but didn't want to pay. We had 14.5hrs in this job and he didn't want to pay for the 6.5hrs or the supplies needed to do the job. The Judge AGREED with me and made him pay, I think you can understand why he left a crappy review. We don't wast time on jobs, just because the job takes longer doesn't mean we are wasting time! We have plenty of work and he was lucky that we squeezed him in. We even worked on Saturday to make his job happen. At the end of the job, I have in writing that he was happy with the work, so please trust our positive reviews and disregard this MISREPRESENTATION by a poor customer!"

I have already given a review of our terrible experience with this company but I felt I needed to update that its hasn't even been a year and the painting we had done on our windowsill is already chipping in some areas and so is some of the paint on both exterior doors. Please save yourself a lot of wasted time money and read through the other negative reviews- this guy is combative, argumentative and always has an excuse for a job not well done. 
Response from PIECE OF CAKE PAINTING CO
"We do good work and Angie's List customers have recognized that by giving us 48 "A" ratings, which is why Angie's List awarded Piece of Cake Painting the SUPER SERVICE AWARD for 2015. Don't be fooled by a few low ratings. Perhaps we aren't perfect, like most humans, but we fix our mistakes. This customer spent $249 on painting that should have cost at least double that, (and she got extra hours on the day that we painted for her and then 3 of us spent another visit redoing everything, at no cost). Paint doesn't just peel off unless something else is going on, like a moisture issue. We use expensive, high quality products which are warrantied, if there's a problem there are remedies."

The painter Jose was amazing- very neat and tidy and exacting in his painting. He even put up new curtain rods for me when the room was done- and it was perfect!  My suggestions for improvements are minor....this company as well as others I used in my "Angie's List Specials" spree complained about how little money they make on the "specials" and whine about it...I did not make them run a special- I am just a consumer who is looking for a great deal and maintain a budget as well as find new vendors to do other work on my house. The owner (Mike) had a contract I had to sign with specifics about how I would have to pay extra for tape, plastic roller brush cover and tax...it was minimal  ($20)  and also the tax had to be paid.. understandable...but a little bit of nickle and diming to make sure they made some money on the special- at any rate Jose was on time and did a stellar job with no re-work needed. I would use them again for sure, but they need to fix the oil leak on their truck, it was a mess all over my driveway- but luckily the power wash guy was coming the next day...
Response from PIECE OF CAKE PAINTING CO
"Thanks for the review. We do quality painting and it shows! For the record, "this company" did not complain about the cost of doing business with Angie's List, I may have in the past but not anymore. I do take the time up front to explain what is and isn't included to avoid misunderstandings. The Storefront offer clearly says that you are purchasing 8 hours of painting labor, caulking and spackle. Piece Of Cake Painting has to pay for all of the consumable supplies (blue tape, PG5 tape, roller covers, plastic, sandpaper, protective paper, etc) used to complete your job, they are not free. And we are willing to give our customers our discounted costs on the supplies used to do your project, so there are cost savings passed on. To say that we are "nickle and diming" is a misrepresentation, we don't charge for the tools we use, we don't charge for the gas to get to your house, we don't charge for many costs associated with working for you. Please read the details and understand what you are buying. And in the State of Washington when you buy something, you pay sales taxes, that shouldn't be a surprise. Now, as far as the oil drips on the street end of the driveway, the van did leak some oil, which I wiped off to the best of my ability, that's on us. We will have the van serviced to avoid this in the future, and until then we will put something under the van to eliminate this issue. We are passionate about painting and do our best on every project."

Did a great job, took 2 and a half days.  Everything covered and taped.  I needed this job done quickly because of my house being for sale and the open house coming.  They got it done in less than a week.
