Get matched with top powder coating pros in Plainville, CT

"When I contacted FreshCoat, I said "I usually just paint myself, but I bought this crazy metallic paint at Target, and it looks like it's complicated to apply. Do you have experience with this type of paint?"  Reassurances all around. The painter, Doug, called me with a litany of "faux finish" jobs he had done that looked great.

He painted the room with my paint, and after two coats, he packed up, reassuring me that it was going to look great when it dried. Well, after a day or two, it was clearly a disaster. I called Barbara, who came out to look and of course said that the job needed to be fixed. Score 1 star for FreshCoat.

Barbara (administrator) and Douglas (painter) met and decided that I needed to use paint that he was familiar with. This
seemed totally reasonable, and I figured I should have known better than to buy house paint at Target. So I went to Lowes and purchased the primer, base coat, and metallic that they recommended.

Douglas came back, forgot to use the primer (he read the paint cans wrong), and finished the job with his recommended paint. Again, he packed up and left with reassurances. The picture that I'm attaching isn't of wet paint, or of one coat when another was planned. This was the finished job, several days later.

I called poor Barbara to complain again, and again she came out to look at it. I told her that I was not going to pay for the full rate of painting, and we settled on a price for their effort plus several days of work, etc. 800 dollars.

I am giving a C rather than an F because I appreciated that the owners were apologetic, rather than trying to make it seem like I was crazy or too demanding. Barbara's parting words were "Doug usually does a really good job..."  They didn't offer to send another painter to fix it, and I didn't insist, because at that point it had gone on for over a week and I was tired of having people in the house.

I ended up getting boring, non-metallic paint and re-painting it myself. It was a total waste of a thousand dollars (when I add the cost of many cans of paint)"

"I had this company install my kitchen cabinets they did an excellent job and a finished on time"

"As all the reviews i read say, you will not regret calling on Ernest. Very professional and breathes new life into the tub and tile. This is a great value in my opinion compared to other options which won't last long from all the research I did. ..should buy me another 15 years. Also I recommend for a little extra having Ernest pre caulk as it gives it a nice finished look. Great price too considering all the preparation work and major league equipment being used here. Should have done it years ago! See the before and after for yourself."

"Fantastic job on garage refinish that included putting the drywall, painting, power-washing the floor and coating with epoxy. Superior work quality, very efficient and always on time. I would highly recommend Bart and his team!"

"Jose and his team were phenomenal to work with. Super communicative during the whole process. I have an older home and he was able to install the wallpaper with ease. I would definitely recommend Jose and will be working with him again in the future."

"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"I hired Mazza's Home improvement to stain my deck. The owner came out and took a look. He gave me a price right up front and let me know when he'd be able to get it done. He's an incredibly nice and easy going guy. He offered up suggestions if I asked for them, but was never pushy. He came out and did the work exactly when he said he would in the amount of time he said he would. No phone tag. No runaround. I wish more contractors were like him."

"Scott and his crew were awesome and we plan to hire them on future paint jobs. Scott is very flexible, easy to work with, follows through on scheduled commitments, and works fast without comprising quality. Scott ended up with doing a little more work than outside the original scope of work and he was able to squeeze it into the schedule. He and his crew are reliable, honest, and professional. Overall, we had a very positive experience."

"Anderson and his crew did beautiful and thorough work on our exterior. We had several doors replaced, a back step re-built and the whole house prepped and painted. They were careful to sand, prep and replace any rotten boards; their prep work was a lot like "restoration" in many ways. They took their time to do quality work and were happy to add on a number of small interior projects in addition to the above mentioned exterior work. Our neighbors were all very complimentary about the work, too! The only reason I can't give a full five stars is that some of the interior work seemed more rushed and not completed with the same degree of care and thoroughness as the primary job. However, overall, for the main job of exterior work, we were thoroughly pleased and would highly recommend them."

"Excellent job with exterior painting and carpentry work! Very conscientious. Great attention to detail. Very responsive. Communicates very well with the customer to get the desired result. Would use Westfhal Painting & Drywall again for any future projects. Highly recommend!"
