Five Star Painting did a positively excellent job for me! They came when they said they would, were very neat and tidy, and worked quite professionally. I would highly recommend Five Star Painting for your next interior or exterior paint/stain project!

Exterior Home or Structure Paint or Stain
I previously wrote a review but this company somehow got it taken down! BEWARE! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! Poor workmanship, they donĂ¢ t stand by their warranty, dishonest owners!! We are forced to paint the entire house just 2 years after they completed the project.
Response from Five Star Painting of Waukesha
"This review was removed from Home Advisor because Five Star Painting had shown through multiple emails, before/after photos, lab reports from the Sherwin-Williams Chicago Emulsion Laboratory, etc. that this was a case of delamination of the wood on their home, not an application issue. Additionally, this case was also dismissed by the BBB, as Five Star Painting showed all the evidence to the BBB. After the Lawlers 2-year warranty was over, they requested half of their project cost back. This was not an acceptable solution for several reasons. First and foremost, the areas they are experiencing premature paint peeling is the areas where delamination is occurring on their home, confirmed by the Sherwin-Williams Chicago Emulsion Laboratory. Delamination means the wood/old paint is failing and the wood fibers are separating from themselves and remaining adhering to the old paint layers. Wood delamination is caused by a breakdown of the cellular structure of the wood. This can be attributed to moisture in the wood that allows fungi to grow. Over time the fungi cause the cellular structure of the wood to break down. As the moisture in the wood tries to exit, the top layer of the wood fibers break down and separate. When this occurs, the bond between the base coat and the structure is broken and loss of adhesion occurs. To look for wood delamination, look for particles of wood on the back of the peeling samples and observe if wood or wood fibers are present. The back of the peeled paint may be completely covered or only partially covered with wood fibers from the substrate. To correct the problem, the source of moisture must be located and delaminated and wood boards may need to be replaced. While delamination is not covered by the Five Star Painting 2 year warranty, Five Star Painting had offered during the June 13,2023 site visit at the Lawler home, that Five Star Painting would extend the warranty for both labor and materials to cover the areas of priming and painting new boards that are experiencing delamination, if they choose to have a carpenter replace them, as this is the proper way to correct the problem to make sure it does not continue to occur. The Lawlers denied this resolution. It is noted that Five Star Painting noticed a few other items that are covered under our 2-year warranty that we are happy to return to address ? a few areas showing light spots and a few underside areas where boards have shifted due to board expansion/contraction. The Lawlers denied this resolution. Julie left a voicemail on June 29, 2023, stating their attorney suggested that she "send us the quotes she received from the other painters... and that she can send those in writing to show us that she has all these other people." Five Star Painting repeatedly requested this documentation from all contractors that she shared she had at their home indicating the work that they would be completing, and the cost associated with their painting work on their home. All her email responses indicated that these painters were ?busy? and have not shared any documentation with you. She shared they would be repainting their home in Spring, however still had no documentation to share for our review as to what work they would be completed. As mentioned in emails to Julie, we cannot evaluate the situation without having all provided documentation. Since the Lawlers were not able to supply any documentation of their upcoming Spring 2024 painting project, Five Star Painting offered to provide the new painter the Sherwin-Williams paint for the project as a final resolution to your project concerns. Again, the Lawlers denied this resolution. The Lawlers have denied every possible attempt at any resolution Five Star Painting has made to assist them with their project. The fact is there is delamination occurring on their home, and they need to have boards replaced or this will continue to occur."

Everything about our experience with Five Star Painting was top notch. We were contacted right away after having been referred to them. A project manager was scheduled to visit our home understand and quote our project in a very timely manner. The proposal was received quickly, and the project manager called me to discuss and clarify all details. The scheduling process was prompt and clear. The painters arrived on time and did an absolutely 100% FIVE STAR job. We will use Five Star Painting for all our future needs, and although it may clog up their schedule, we highly recommend Five Star Painting to everyone. We could not be more pleased with the results, and are enjoying our refreshed, updated spaces like never before!

Cabinets Refinish
They sucked all around. No sanding was done, they didn't us the paint that they said they would use. Paint job was crappy once we started living there and using the cabinets. Spots missed paint chipping. I would NEVER recommend them.
Response from Five Star Painting of Waukesha
"We apologize that our service did not satisfy your expectations, Deana. We did use the exact cabinet paint listed in your proposal. We apologize if there was a miscommunication on the process or products that were to be used. We would be more than happy to return to address any issues that you are having and get this resolved for you. Please contact us directly and we will most certainly set up a time to return and take care of this for you."

I was so impressed with the professionalism of the entire Five Star team from my initial phone call to the final review of the project once it was complete. The quality of work, attention to detail and clean up was outstanding. Also, Steve, their recommended carpenter that came out to repair some siding did excellent work. Friends have used other painting companies with similar cost and my project looks the best!

They were on time. Finished all rooms in one day. Taped and used drop clothes everywhere. Went over the whole house to make sure everything was fine. Swept up floors and made sure everything was clean. They were very knowledgeable and fixed a couple of holes from old phone plates and you can't even see they were there. Friendly and answered all our questions. My son used them and a friend of his used them. I would highly recommend them.

Everyone was so professional. I had many questions and Alisa was great. She never sounded annoyed or inconvenienced when I called. The painters were fast and did an amazing job painting my cabinets. When the job was over they reviewed their work and touched up any areas that needed it, then cleaned up the area. Except for the beautiful cabinets you couldn't tell they had been there. The cost was very competitive. If you want your cabinets painted, these are the people to go with!

The communication with office was excellent prior to work beginning. The painters were very professional and they completed the work in a very timing many, completing the job in less time than we anticipated. It was unusual that this team does not do there clean up of supplies on site but removes and cleans there equipment elsewhere. We could not be happier with the quality of work provided. We know of some individuals who will be planning a painting job in the near future and we anticipate to highly recommend Five Star Painting to them.
