As a family owned and operated business located in Howard County, MD we have been helping homeowners in all of Howard County MD, parts of Carroll County, Baltimore County and Northern Anne Arundel County Maryland and surrounding areas with their home improvement needs for over 20 years.
"Jerry was friendly, efficient, straight-talking, and didn't try to upsell us. We didn't need (or want) a lot of design input and had a strong sense for the types of tile and fixtures we wanted. Many of the other contractors who came to give quotes pushed design services or strongly encouraged us to purchase low-quality tile/fixtures through their suppliers, but this wasn't the case with S & J. Elias was fantastic--he helped confirm our tiles and fixtures were appropriate before we finalized our purchases, and we appreciated his attention to detail throughout the process."

Blue Star | Chesapeake Painting Services is a high end residential and commercial custom painting and renovation contractor in the Annapolis, MD area. Known area wide as the "gentlemen painters", every employee is clean cut, gentlemanly in every respect, and provides a high quality of work and accountability. We are very proud of our team, our business and our finished product. Check out reviews anywhere you can find them online, including many on Google, to learn more about how our clients feel about us and our work.
"June 30, 2022 - This is a follow-up of my July 2021 review: Several months after Chesapeake painted and made exterior repairs to the front bay window of my home, and after my initial review on Angie's List, I contacted the company because the bay window repairs were disintegrating as a result of shoddy workmanship. Phi (project manager) quickly came out to inspect, scheduled a date to redo the work, and said that he was sending a different team to do the work correctly. However, the weather and subsequent scheduling conflicts moved the rework to the spring of 2022. Phil sent the team of Willy and Emilio: they were punctual, professional, very pleasant, and their craftsmanship is excellent. This is the work that I expected the first time and Chesapeake delivered the second time around. Thank you Phil for always always responding to my concerns and frustrations, and to Chesapeake for standing by their work and making thing right. D. Atkinson Bowie, MD July 2021 review: The company did an excellent job scheduling a date for my exterior house painting and they also worked with me to resolve an issue I had with the project's final cost. The office staff is very professional and pleasant. I might have given a higher rating, but my experience with the crew was not what I had expected given the great reviews I read from other customers. I was disappointed with the crew that was sent to paint my house. They arrived about an hour late. I was able to communicate with only one person on the crew as the other members did not speak english. The only english-speaking member left the job for several hours to pick up composite sheets to replace wood panels. During this time I noticed that the painters did not place drop cloths on my deck or on two lower roofs. As a result, paint was dripping onto my deck and the lower roofs. I had to search for a foreign language translation app on my cell phone so I could communicate with the crew to tell them to use drop cloths as well as to explain a few other issues and concerns. Frustrated, I contacted Chesapeake Painting to complain and a manger was sent to my home. The manager arrived about the same time the crew member returned from picking up the composite. The manager apologized to me about the problems and he spoke with the crew member about my concerns and the painting job in general. After the job was complete, the next day I noticed areas that needed more paint and the company came back to apply more paint. However, a couple of days later, I noticed the same area still needed more paint or sanding. There were also areas where I eventually noticed where the work detail could be better. In fairness, I didn't call the company back to resolve as I just wanted to move on. The overall paint job was good. Would I hire Chesapeake Painting again? I'm not certain. Maybe this crew had a bad day at the office as we all sometimes do. But if I decide to hire the company again to paint the interior of my home, I would need a different crew or the crew(s) that received the excellent work reviews."

Our company is family owned and operated. We offer free estimates. Our prices are rarely beat and our work is of the best quality. We usually have between 4 and 10 employees depending on how busy we are at the time. We have no problem acquiring extra employees if needed for a larger job. We will also take sub-contract work from another company. We do not sub jobs out to other companies, but we will complete jobs for other companies that are looking to sub work out. We ask for one-third of the total price up front so that we know the customer is serious about getting the work done. With this money we will use it to buy necessary materials and supplies to complete the job. If the customer mentions that they found our company on Angie's List there will be a 10% discount applied to the asking price to complete the job.
"Spiro's Painting did a lovely job, and the porch now looks pristine and clean. Moreover, we no longer have to worry about the exposed wood on the posts and soffits as a result of peeling paint. There were a few hiccups with scheduling, but the team was efficient, tidy, and true to their word about the length of the job. I would definitely add our voice to so many others in recommending Spiro's Painting, and we'll certainly reach out to them in the future if we have other painting projects."

Hi my name is Alan, an interior painter. I can help you with any interior painting needs. I've been providing professional results for home owners for over 30 years! I've always been a owner-operator, because that allows me to provide the best customer service possible to my customers.
"Nightmare is the best word to describe it. We had to fire him and hire other painters to finish or redo some of his work. If you don’t want to deal with a sloppy painter (Alan), if you don’t want to constantly check his work and be with him all the time to make sure he does what you ask for, don’t hire him. Execution of his work is very mediocre."
