B & A Painting

We went with this company because of a friends recommendation, as well as their ratings on this website. However, we did not have a good experience. 1. When he came and gave me the quote, I explained I had bought 6 gallons of paint which should be plenty, he said no that he needed 10 gallons to paint my foyer and hallway. Guess how many extra cans of paint I had leftover? 4, the exact 4 I went to buy because he overestimated on paint. I do not mind if it is 1-2 gallons left over, but 4! That is $120 worth of paint we cannot use. 2. They came and painted our foyer and hallway, including the ceilings. Immediately when I got home I saw issues. (Our daughter was there while they were painting). I saw paint on the moldings, banister, the upper window in the foyer, and even on the chandelier cap, which I could not reach because it is two-story. Their cutting work was horrible and even some places you could still see the old paint color on their cutting, as well as a spot on the ceiling. 3. They got paint on my hallway carpet. They never said a word to us, they just tried to wipe it and left it! 4. They left paint tape on the arch going into our dining room. We took the painting tape off, which subsequently took the other paint color off, the color we were not repainting. 5. We used a matte paint, which I get can be difficult to work with, however, they did not bother to remove the doorbell cover or a vent cover, but chose to paint around it with a brush and not the roller, thereby leaving a different texture, which stands out horrendously on matte paint. After they tried to explain why it did that (paint vs. roller) I asked them why they did not just remove it?! They did remove only the doorbell cover on the fix. 6. They failed to paint the attic door entry which was in the hallway ceiling. It had been painted the same color as the old paint, but yet they did not even ask if they were supposed to paint it the new color, but just left it. 7. Neither time did the owner come by they do a walk-thru when the job was completed, even knowing there were issues. He said he would send someone over to color match the paint that their tape took off, and two weeks later I have not heard a word from him. Now, I will say he did try to come fix it. However, there is still paint on the chandelier cap I cannot get off, I have to touch up molding paint, now I have to color match the paint in the dining room because he never followed up to do it. I really wish I could post pictures because it just floors me how badly this paint job was. It irritates me that he never even checked back to see if the paint came out of the carpet, never got in touch to fix the paint they messed up, never contacted me back to make sure I was happy with the end result. Instead, he was defensive, telling me they do not paint molding, i.e. the attic entry door (well if it is the same color as the ceiling, why would not you?), saying it was not his crew that got paint on the banister (even though it was the same color). I would have been happy to work through these issues with the owner, however his lack of trying to keep in touch with me and do things he said he was going to do is unprofessional. Now, I have 4 extra gallons of paint, have to repaint moulding, touch up the paint they did on the cutting surfaces, get my carpets cleaned, and additionally color match the paint that their tape stripped off. I am sorry, but I would never recommend this company to anyone. The painters did not do a good job, the lack of communication is unprofessional, and now I am left fixing things that he should have checked back on and had fixed after saying he would. I selected this company based on reviews, but this is my honest review. I would never use this company again, nor recommend them to anyone.

Quick response. Good work. Good price.

Competent professionals, friendly, courteous, helpful with attention to details including clean up. Would recommend.

Workers were professional and very courteous. Excellent paint job. Will hire again.

I usually never give 5 Stars because I m a tough critic, but would give them 10 Stars if I could! Brandon, Ashlee and Danny were professional, friendly, informative and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable compared to other quotes I received and the quality of the work is exceptional. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

The entire crew is true professional

They were very professional and did a great job for a very reasonable rate. I absolutely recommend them!

They were very professional, quick, and trustworthy. I am very pleased with the work they did for me.

They were very professional and the work quality was excellent.

Great value and service for a very reasonable price.

Prompt response to small paint job. B & A were able to do additional work. We felt fortunate to find a company that does such meticulous work in a timely manner. Also, we will be doing a third phase with B & A in a week. We highly recommend this hardworking couple.

Thank you all for the professionalism and hard work. Love my colors and hope to see you again soon for another painting job.

They are both great! Attention to detail, job well done, great attitude, very respectful people!

Out of 3 companies I asked for an estimate they are the only one that responded with a call the same day. They came & gave me a very reasonable estimate. They showed up on time & completed the job quickly & professionally.

This company is tremendous. They came up on unexpected problems and handled them with great care and consideration. The end result is more than I'd hoped for and I would use them for any more work I have done.

Definitely would recommend her.

Very professional, came when they were supposed to, and good people to work with.

Untrustworthy and unskilled. We had several estimates. Their's was the best and she seemed knowledgeable. However, she simply did not know how much work was involved, so added to the estimate--making her work more expensive than two of the more qualified contractors, ugh. Once work was complete and check was given we noticed that rust was coming through our radiators (she said that she would take the steps to ensure that wouldn't happen). So, the owner/manager promised to return to fix the problem in two days. She never showed up or responded to my texts or calls. Very, very shady. She promised to clean their mess. They did a very poor job. She said they'd cover our furniture with a drop cloth, they didn't. The job was over around 6:30 pm so we were unable to tell how poor the paint job was. They did not put a second coat around the trim or corners so why is it darker than the rest??? They patched a small hole on our back door. My 9 year old son could have done a better job. It's bumpy and uneven. The hole looked better than their attempts to fix it. The paint on the back door and celling didn't match the rest of the trim (it was a basic white, they used ultra white--how can you mess that up???) Seriously, I am not sure why so many reviews are positive. I assume that there are multiple workers with varying degrees of skill, but we paid a lot of money for substandard work and they didn't have the decency to make due on their promises, or even call us back. Do not hire.

Honest, quick, dependable.

Friendly and quality work.

B & A Painting did an awesome job fixing my disastrous decal removal on two of my home office walls. The project of residue removal from walls, sand and prime sticker spots and painting two walls were completed in record time! They also accepted cash payment in full which is a bonus since I like paying for services immediately after they are completed. I will definitely use them again!

We were extremely happy with the job. Everyone was so very courteous and only wanted to make sure we were happy and satisfied. I would and will hire them again in a heartbeat!

I am very pleased with the work they did. I am also very impressed with Ashlee and her team. They were pleasant, professional and prompt. I would certainly recommend them.
