Absolutely wonderful experience working with Carl's Painting. We had worked with them in the past where they did a wonderful job painting our condo. We just purchased a new home and needed the paint updated in a few areas. Patrick Carl was very warm and welcoming, and he provided great advice and a fair price for the work done. We ended up needing a second coat on most of our house and he was very good about letting us know as soon as he realized it and repricing things very fairly to cover the extra materials and labor. The house looks amazing and everything was put back together nicely and neatly. I can't say enough about what a great job they did and how quickly and professionally they worked. I would absolutely hire them in the future and recommend them highly to anyone.

Great! We like the paint job. The team lead by Greg another worker took 1 week and did an excellent job. Compared to others painters we have used, who shall remain nameless, the work was superior and our plants and shrubberies near the house survived the work. We will use Patrick again and I give him a strong recommendation.

Very professional and pleasant--phone calls were answered or returned promptly. The contract clearly listed all work that would be done and it was completed in a timely manner. The workers were friendly and respectful and they did an excellent job. The house looks great!

Very well. Patrick Carl sent four men the 1st day and checked on the job several times himself. The 2nd day, he sent three, again checked on the job. Very satisfied with work done.

They are a great company. He has a good working crew. They're efficient and neat, which is what I appreciate.  He and his crew are usually professional. They clean up behind themselves, and they're here when they say they're going to be here. They will usually give a timeline on how long it will take. They are a little bit pricey, but it's worth it. It's important to me when a company shows up on time and do what they say they are going to do. That is why I recommend them.

I am the property manager of our condo complex of 5 buildings. We have been looking for many years to find a top quality painter at a reasonable price, with no luck. I gave Carl's painting a call to have them give me a quote on the work that needed to be done on our building. After our first meeting I knew that this was going to be our painter for many years to come. Patrick was up-front and honest about the price to paint and replace some of the cedar siding. He was very informative about cedar siding, and was quick to respond with a quote and time frame to do the job. We hired Carl's painting to do the job.
The painting crew arrived at the time and day agreed upon and were very professional about the job they were doing. They would take the time to answer ant questions I had and Patrick was always a phone call away if any problems came up. When the job was finished we took a final walk through. Everything looked great . We are going to use them again this year and for many years to come.

Patrick and his crew were excellent. We had some colder weather and they were adamant about not putting us at risk and not painting unless the conditions were satisfactory (he went as far as to say they'd shut it down until spring if necessary). They did a very good job with the carpentry work and were very detail oriented relative to the painting, clean up, etc. There was more carpentry work than he anticipated but the additional charges were right in line with my expectations. We asked for a couple minor changes and they were handled without any issues. I would not say he was inexpensive or expensive but based on our experience the work they did was a very good value. I felt very confident that he was always being upfront regarding the job etc. I would recommend their services and will be using them for some interior work over the winter.

Angie's List says Carl's Painting doesn't cover my area - however, he is the painter of choice in my neighborhood in Brookfield.   The job was done quickly and efficiently and the outcome was great.   Price was great - they fixed several cedar planks and did a great job with clean up.       I would give him a page of happiness if you gave me that option.

He was on-time when he came to give me his accurate estimate. The work was done on time and he checked in on his workers every day; I was happy with that. This company is very reliable, they do excellent work and they even did little extra fixes and touch-ups that I did not know my house needed until they started painting. Overall, the job went very well.

Carl's Painting Service did an excellent job painting the exterior trim on our house. The men showed up on time, were very friendly, and gladly worked around our  busy schedule.  They matched the color we choose perfectly. If any problems arose, such as a rotted window frame, they told me about it right away, and were able to repair it if possible. Mr. Carl was in contact with me almost every day and even did some of the work himself.  When they finished, they walked around the whole house with me, and didn't leave until I felt everything had been done to my satisfaction.

They charged me about $4,900 for the job. I loved them. I will use them again in the future if required.

Carl was in contact with me because of a delay caused by the weather. He explained and showed me the wood that they were going to be replacing. He also made sure that when I gave my approval I understood that we were replacing more wood than was quoted; so I would be paying more, which I understood. He was very thorough in matching my paint selections and explaining what he was painting and where he was painting. I will use him again in the future.

I felt that the price was good. The interaction with them was very good. They did what they said they were going to do. They were very punctual and knowledgeable. I was also pleased with the quality of their work. They showed up on a day that they weren't supposed to, although it wasn't a problem.

Outstanding service from beginning to end! The estimate was accurate. The work was performed as scheduled, efficiently and professionally. They cleaned up after themselves. The end result was beautiful. They also replaced damaged siding and painted the exterior of my house a few years back, again doing an outstanding job.

They did a very good job. They are very timely and were finished in a reasonable amount of time. The entire crew cleaned up after themselves when they were done. They came in right at their quote.
