We are very impressed and pleased with working with Drew and his crew from our first meeting to the last walk around with Drew. They listened to what we pictured in our minds then guided us through the process of selecting colors. Drew and his crew started by pressure washing our home. Then they came and rapidly and professionally prepped our home for painting. Next the came and painted our home with the three colors we picked for different areas of the exterior of our home. They are great young men who worked not stop, always cleaned up at the end of the day. The entire process took four days. We have Cedar siding, many wood framed windows and cement block lower all being painted with three different stain and paint colors. They were courteous and positive and seemed to enjoy the work they did so well. We are completely satisfied with their professionalism and beautiful job they did on our home. John Bigham. Mankato Mn

The job was a bit expensive, but it's not a small house, though a neighbor is getting their house done by someone else for $1000 less. The house and trim look good, until you get really close. House color on trim edges that should be a different color. All over spray wasn't cleaned up well, no masking was done. Lots of paint on the driveway, in the grass and on the upper deck. Areas in the yard where brushes and equipment were cleaned, or where paint was spilled are now dead, I will have to reseed those areas when it gets cooler. For the most part we are satisfied, but attention to detail was lacking.

We want to give the highest recommendation for College Painters, in particular, Caleb Lockwood along with his work crew. We are very satisfied with the service and performance from Caleb and his team while having our house painted in mid June 2023. Caleb managed the project which went smooth and flawlessly because of the professional service he provided. Caleb and his team were prompt in the morning when they started work and continued steadily throughout the day despite the brutal heat. They always cleaned up at the end of each day and they were always very respectful of our home and property. The service College Painters provided was exemplary. We are very pleased with the end result from Caleb Lockwood and his team. Huffman

There were countless OSHA violations. Unsafe work environment. Pay was far less than what was agreed on when receiving a check. Work was shoddy and no one knew what was going on. I don’t want my name associated with such a terrible company.

Dylan Lewis and his team worked tirelessly against 3 heat advisories, a broken ladder, and TWO tornados to get our house painted. (They weren't on site during the tornados, but their equipment was!) Both Dylan and his team were very professional and courteous throughout the job. He walked me through everything that they did and everything they were working on each day, and he was very amenable and responsive when I voiced concerns. Murphy's Law hit them at every stop, and it extended the project by a few days, but Dylan and his team took each challenge in stride without compromising the quality of work. Now our house looks great! I wouldn't change a thing.

Cameron did a superior job on our deck painting. There were lots of challenges with the shortage of paint, height of the deck above ground, and inclement weather. He was persistent, reliable and had excellent communication skills. We are very pleased with his honesty and work ethic.

"We're pleased to hear that Cameron exceeded your expectations despite the challenges. We appreciate your business."

They were definitely more affordable than the rest...probably by 15%. Unfortunately I don't think you always know the quality of workmanship that you are going to get with this company. Let's be realistic...most of the college kids they are hiring probably aren't making a profession out of this. They did ok, but there were lots of little things I found wrong at the end...like areas where they didn't prime and they also ruined my screen. Next time I think I will just bite the bullet and hire a professional team who has more industry industry experience.

The contractors were very professional and did a good job. They left the job site very neat and were considerate of the shrubs around the deck. The timing was as scheduled and communications went well.

Everything went well. We had chosen a color in advance and the painter Chris even suggested a better color that we actually liked better than what we chose. I was a stickler on clean lines and the painter and supervisor Connor made sure I had clean lines using precise masking. We were very pleased with the result!

It went super well. My deck looked so great when it was finished. It is a very large deck with a long ramp and many rails.
