3-4 Room Interior Painting or Staining
Distinctive Coatings absolutely exceeded our expectations. Dave showed up exactly on time, was incredibly detail-oriented, and truly made our home look brand new. He sprayed our ceiling and there wasn?t a single drop of overspray anywhere. The precision and care he put into his work really stood out. We couldn?t be happier with the results.

Working with Dave has been the best! I have used him with several home jobs(exterior, interior and pool areas) and also at work locations. Honest, hard working and honest.

Distinctive Coatings did an excellent job on the commercial interior paint work at Blue Water Spa. The space looks clean, polished, and exactly what we envisioned. Their team was professional, reliable, and respectful of our timeline, which was really important with an active business. The attention to detail shows in every room, and the finish completely elevated the space. Based on our experience, we would confidently recommend Distinctive Coatings for both commercial and residential painting projects.

Dave and his team were very good to deal with.  The work was excellent and performed in a very timely manner.  The job took less time than we had thought - only a day and a half. The crew was very courteous and careful with everything.  I will definitely recommended them to friends and would use them again in the future. <br /> <br />

<p>I liked them a lot. They are very, very good. l may have suggested them to a neighbor. I don't remember their price, but it was really reasonable. They did not do trim because it did not need it. It was just the sides. </p>

Dave and his crew did an excellent job.  Dave was on site through the whole process.  They did a great job of cleaning up and left me extra paint for touch-ups in the future. <br />

David and his crew worked at my house for two-and--a-half days and completed the job in a very professional manner. They were quiet, courteous, and were responsive to my needs. Also, they showed up on time and were dependable. Overall, I am very happy with their results and professionalism. <br />

Excellent job painting and staining my new sun porch.  The team was punctual, tidy and finished the job in three days.  The results exceeded my expectations.  I'd use this group again.  Communication was excellent and i couldn't be happier. <br />

It was fine.  They were fantastic.  They were timely and quick with the estimate.  They were neat.  They had rapid turn around.  The quality was good.  I would use them for an exterior/interior job again.  I would recommend them to others.

I do not not know David or anyone who works for Airless.  This was my first  job with the company. <br /> I waited about 30 days to write this report just in case I found any problems. <br /> I got three quotes for the job based on Angie's List reviews. <br /> Except for rain, once David and his team started, he and his team worked all day, every day until the job was completed. <br /> The job took about 5 or 6 work days.  David was on-site most days, actually doing the work. <br /> The painting took place in November 2014 <br /> Positives: <br /> + David is very conscientious, friendly, low key and  easy to work with. <br /> +He provided insurance and Workman's Comp info right away. <br /> + Price included Sherwin Williams Duration paint which Consumer Reports rated pretty highly for my needs. <br /> + David helped us pick the right colors and even painted trial areas with several colors which really helped us "dial in" the right colors  (the builder did not leave the original paint color information). <br /> + Excellent attention to detail. Trim lines were flawless.  Paint application was nicely uniform. <br /> + His team members  (5 or so)  are respectful and work quietly with music at a low level. <br /> + No sloppy work, no problems with paint on my flagstone or cement driveway. <br /> + 100% payment at the successful completion of the job  <br /> + I think the screen porch was a real challenge because of the way the trim pieces and screening are fastened together.  I think many of the trim pieces are new. No additional  charge.  The porch looks like new. <br />  + David even changed a burned out spotlight bulb for me. <br /> Negatives: <br /> -None. <br /> Summary: <br /> I have worked with may professional painters before.  My experience with Airless was excellent. I will use this company again. <br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> <p>The best experience I have ever had with a service company , on Angie's List  and otherwise .The owner Dave Balkus started the experience by getting back to me within a day or so , which is the biggest problem with most companies today if they get back to you at all. The quote process quickly followed , Dave came out and looked at the job and followed up with a very preside quote . All of our contact was via email after the first phone call. The job started a few weeks later.</p> <p>Some of the reasons for choosing Airless Paint was their website and the long time employees Dave uses not day laborers. And the fact that Dave does a large part of the painting. The quote also had a lot to do with selecting Airless Paint , price wise as well as very detailed.                                                                                                                                                                                                   </p> <p>The crew guys would get to house 30 minutes before start time each day to ready for the workday and took a very short lunch break. They were very easy to communicate with and did a great job painting and cleaning up each day . Dave and all of his crew went above and beyond what any company has ever done to make sure the job was done correctly and in a timely manner and take care of any issues or questions I had. </p> <p>I would strongly recommend Airless Paint for their professionalism quality and price . I will use them again .    </p> <br />

<p>Both estimate and job was done in a timely and professional manner.  There was tree painters plus the company owner.  All work was done in a neat and smooth operation.  The job was estimated at 5 days and completion was done in four.  They maintained there schedule each day.  The crew maintained a neat environment during the entire process.  They cleaned up each evening.  The estimate included my request for the most expensive paint due to mildew issues with my siding.  The owner offered a lower price if I changed my mind.  He agreed this quality paint made the job results excellent.  The estimate was certainly what I expected  for the man hours and results received.</p> <p>I would recommend this crew to all.  There was no surprises, therefore a job well done.</p> <br />

David was spot on time for providing a quote and had an email to me within the period he said.  It was so good, decided to have his team also paint the family room.  No problems with scheduling and the work was completed within 2 days as promised.  His team were very curteous and professional.  The work looks great, we are very happy with the results.  We plan to have Airless Paint NC back to do the rest of the house when we get to it. <br /> <br /> <br />

Dave & his crew were on time for both days and got the job done really well and fast.  They did an excellent job on all six rooms they painted.  We are really happy with all the work they did and how professional they all were.  We will definitely use them again. <br />

Excellent job. Was completed as scheduled and the price was as quoted. They went beyond what they had to do. They painted a couple of small wall & door nicks at no additional cost. They also moved the bookcases to their permanent location along the playroom walls. <br />
