"Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting."

"A really great experience - our new go-to painter! We got a recommendation for this contractor at our local paint store because we were looking for specific expertise with masonry paint and limewash. The owner was responsive, solutions-driven, reasonable and timely. His whole team was professional - and we really appreciated their high quality work product and attention to detail. The whole team delivered exactly what we wanted…..our home looks so beautiful now!"

"I have used Touchstone Painting for over 6 years. They painted my entire home, installed ceiling fans, installed slate on my fireplace, installed a wheelchair ramp in the garage, and many other jobs. I have referred them to several new residents."

"Bici Brothers did an amazing job. They painted the interior of my entire house(3500 sq ft). Job was completed on time and on budget. Very professional, even did work without instruction to make the project really stand out. I will use them again for my next project."

Customers say: Quick response

"He arrived within an hour of the start time and carefully covered the ground and surrounding fence that didn’t need paint, so the paint was properly directed. He applied 2 coats, as discussed. Though he didn’t do any repairs on the fence, this was not contracted. So, he accomplished exactly what he said, without giving that extra touch."

"Great price and very good service! Rey ‘s painting I had a fantastic experience with Rey’s Painting & Drywall who painted my house. He was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. The quality of his work is outstanding—clean lines, smooth finishes, and everything looks fresh and beautiful. He also kept the work area tidy and was respectful of my home throughout the process. The job was finished on time and within budget, and he even went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results. I highly recommend Rey’s painting &Drywall LLC to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled painter. Truly top-notch service!"

His attention to detail and professionalism stood out. On top of it all, he is a great guy that puts customer service first. I look forward to working with him again."

"MD Fine Touch Painters did an Awesome job from the initial meeting in which I received the bid on the spot to the final walk through. The crew was hardworking reliable and courteous when I had questions or comments. I especially appreciated their cooperation in providing me with several paint samples on the walls until I found the right color to match the stone wall as well as the brick wall. Their prep work ensured that the final look was clean and thoroughly painted. I’m amazed that there aren’t any old paint chips or any drops of new paint anywhere on my landscaping or anywhere else. When Marcus gave me the bid I was immediately leaning toward giving him my business but I got another bid so that I would have 3 options. I couldn’t be happier that I went with his outfit because they got the job done beautifully efficiently and within my budget!! I will be a repeat customer when I’m ready to paint the interior of my home!! Hire this company and you will be happy that you did!!"

Painters usually supply their own paint. They have access to contractor discounts and usually buy in bulk, meaning you pay less for higher quality paint. You should still ask what kind they use and do a little research to make sure you approve.
