The Applying Dutchman

Doug is meticulous within his trade of painting. He works cleanly and neatly. He is heads above the rest in his field. His prices are fair for the work he performs. I've hired him on several projects and am always amazed by his talent. Very courteous and professional! Highly recommend this business!

Great work! Doug stripped the wallpaper in two small bathrooms and installed Farrow and Ball wallpaper in each. Beautiful work with striped wallpaper, which might have been tricky for some in our oddly shaped, small powder room. Would recommend.

Had an accent wall and kitchen wallpapered... could not be happier! Doug is very skillful and the walls are amazing. He also painted another accent wall black and the entire living area a neutral color. He was back today for touch ups and my home is now ready for the Holidays!!! I plan on seeing him in the Spring for patio staining! As a senior citizen, l am very picky as to whom l let in my home... l was very comfortable with him being here. I thought his rates were reasonable and l have no hesitation recommending him (highly)!!!

Doug was meticulous, punctual , and did an exceptional job painting my kitchen and dining area. I would highly recommend him

We are extremely happy with the work Doug performed for us. He removed layers & layers of wallpaper, repaired the walls & ceilings and painted our stairwell, hall, two bedrooms and two closets in our nearly 100 year old home. We highly recommend Doug. He was professional, friendly and went above and beyond our expectations.

Doug did wonderful work promptly and meticulouisly, and without creating constructions mess. Brought my water-soaked plaster walls back to life. Will hire him again for another project. Besides, he's a very pleasant person.

Doug did a fantastic job of repairing our water damaged ceilings, as well as painting our ceilings and walls. Extremely professional and proficient in his craft. He was responsive to calls and completed the job beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Douglas for your next project.

Doug came to my house and gave me a very reasonable estimate to paint 4+ rooms. Within a couple of days, he began working and returned to complete the job in three days. His work is excellent and he is a pleasure to work with. I plan to have him come back in the spring and have already referred him to two friends.

Doug was a sincere pleasure to work with. He came to our house for a plaster repair estimate and knowing we were pressed for time, offered to perform the repair immediately. We asked him to do several other smaller plaster repairs while he was there and he was happy to do them. He was very professional, friendly, and quick! His price for the repairs was very reasonable. I highly recommend Doug for any plaster repairs needs you have, and based on the quality of his work and his professionalism, I'm sure he handles other projects with the same skill and care.

Doug is very professional. His skills were high quality. Very reasonably priced as well. He's done a lot of painting for me, and I was so impressed with his work that I have referred him to others. I trust his work. Very reliable, which can be hard to come by with some independent contractors!

Doug responded to our inquiry within minutes and gave us a very competitive quote for the plaster repair and painting job we needed. He worked by himself for just over a week, was very clean and thorough. We threw some extra requests at him while he was here - no problem. We're very happy with his work and will hire him again!

Doug was excellent. The work was done quickly, and very professionaly. He would be the first person I would want for future projects.

Doug Van Alstyne was outstanding. I called him for an estimate and he was at my home within a hour. He lives 30 minutes plus from our home..... Very thorough/and fair with his estimate. Also painted the ceiling in the living /dining room and side wall of our entry way. Two day job with necessary applications and drying/sanding of wall board plus preventive beam stabilization in the attic to guard against future wall board problems. Doug is an outstanding communicator and sincere. He follows-thru with expectations. Punctual and precise with work. Excellent cleanup/ efficiency. Great guy. I
