Derrick and his team did a masterful job painting and staining the interior of our home. His team was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and offered many helpful suggestions as the work proceeded. They finished ahead of schedule and did a good job protecting exposed surfaces and cleaning up. Highly recommended!

We worked with Derrick and his team at Preferred Painting several years ago and were very pleased with the work they did at that time. We needed to have the living room painted and I got a hold of Derrick and WOW...another GREAT job! So pleased with the work that was completed the Saturday before Christmas by Roberto - a true professional! He is absolutely meticulous! He arrived early and was focused on the entire job from set up to clean up! We will continue to use Derrick and his Preferred Painting team in the future...like soon as there is more to be done. We believe in their work and what we believe to be a fair price. Super pleased...again! Thanks Derrick and Roberto!!!!

Derrick and his company were fantastic to work with! He was always responsive, answered all of our questions, and got the job scheduled and done in a timely manner. His crew, led by Luis, was very professional and did an amazing job. We are so pleased with how the exterior of our house looks after the paint job they did. We recommend Preferred Painting to anyone and will absolutely use the company again for any future painting needs.

The four painters assigned to my project were extremely polite and professional. The quality of work was great, they were extremely easy to have in the house and the project was completed on time! Communication was good. My husband and I were very pleased with the end result. I would hire them back in a minute!

The work was not completed as agreed. I've had to re-do large portions of the work due to quality issues and not using a quality primer on new drywall.

Derrick and his crew did an excellent job on painting the interior of our entire house. There were some issues regarding touch-up and clean-up but they were immediately resolved. I would highly recommend them in the future.

Confirm the date when the work will be done. The painter showed up a day after they told me. Check the work before the painter leaves. I did and had to point out several spots where he missed coverage.
Response from Preferred Painting
"Timing was open. Thanks"

Great job. Crew of 5 completed the job in 3.5 days. When we asked them to give us a quote on some additional exterior work ( replaced a number of siding boards), the quote was fair. Sergio, the crew leader, was professional, communicated with us the entire time, and delivered a quality project.

Derrick & crew did a great job painting the second floor of my house. We recently had two bathrooms remodeled & the plaster work that was performed by the re modeler was lacking as was pointed out to be by Sergio, his crew chief. They did a fantastic job prepping the walls so that the paint finish is superb. Bottom line is Preferred Painting out bid at least 5 other painters & did a great job. I highly recommend them!

The team that came was very thorough and did excellentwork. The projected 2 day job actually took 3 because of their attention, care and thoroughness. We had almost every room painted and wallpaper removed as well. They were very accommodating with our having to move about to 'live' here.

Did my job in a day. Other than a 20 minute lunch Joe didn't stop. Repaired, prepped and painted my walk in and master bath, including ceilings. There was a lot of prep needed since I just had the master bath remodeled. Really nice paint job, very clean. Put everything back. Professional and very nice.

One guy came in and painted our living room walls, trim/baseboards and kitchen in one day. He did an outstanding job. I was very impressed with just one guy doing all that work.
