Most importantly our cabinets look fantastic!

JR and Horatio did an absolutely fabulous job painting my kitchen cabinets! 45 doors and 16 drawer fronts so a large project on outdated maple with a honey orange finish i couldn‘t stand anymore! They were meticulous, efficient, and very easy to work with. Never left me with a mess at day‘s end. I really can‘t recommend a painter more highly.

Heidi

Painting craftsman did an outstanding job on our kitchen cabinets. They were very responsive, very professional, and were a joy to work with. They partnered with us every step of the way on a complicated project with multiple finishes and did a beautiful job. We would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a quality painting company.

Ron W

We needed our kitchen updated and instead of demolishing the space, we inquired about cabinet refinishing. From start to finish of our project we were impressed with the customer service and skills of the staff at The Painting Craftsman. J.R. is very talented and did an incredible job at sanding, refinishing and painting our cabinets. He took our kitchen to a whole new level. I want to thank Chris, Justin and J.R. for making our kitchen into a dream space. This was a wonderful experience and we will contact The Painting Craftsman for future projects. We highly recommend their services!

Cara G

The crew that came to paint my condo was amazing. They moved quickly but with quality workmanship. They were mindful and respectful of my belongings. They arrived and departed each day as expected. They were hired to fix work previously done by another vendor (cheaper is not better). I wish I had started with them in the first place! They followed up with a post-project walk-through to ensure I was fully satisfied. I will absolutely use Painting Craftsmen as my go-to painting company.

We could not be more pleased with the painting of our foyer, walls & ceilings that Painting Craftsmen did. Jonathon was our painter and he was wonderful. Personable and really into details. We highly recommend them. They were on time and no surprises. A fair value and a great service. Thank you, Painting Craftsmen. Our Patio is next!

Maureen J

Juston helped to review our project and made several useful suggestions. Luis performed the work itself and is a true artisan - he is very meticulous, seeks constant feedback, and happily addresses any concerns. When the paper removal and painting took less time than originally estimated, Juston adjusted the original estimate to reflect actual hours worked. Good prices, excellent quality, and honest dealing, we highly recommend Painting Craftsmen for your painting needs.

Bart B

I highly recommend this group with no hesitation. Extremely pleased and happy with all the work they performed. Very professional and very easy to work with. Give them a 10+++. I will definitely be using them for future jobs!!!

Diana K

Had my garage floor redone - paint job by a handyman last month was peeling after two days. The Painting Craftsmen worked me into the schedule much sooner than I expected, were on time, professional, courteous, and worked hard. I can't say enough good things about them. The floor still looks good so far (fingers crossed - only moved car once) and didn't cost much more than my handyman. Well worth it!

I can’t say enough about this company. Great customer service and goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. Ryan is very responsive and took extra steps to find the best product to solve the issue with our pool deck surface. The crew was always on time, very professional, did quality work, and cleaned up everything appropriately. Just overall good people to work with. Thank you!

Regina L

The Painting Craftsmen were very responsive to our request for a quote to stain our deck. Came on time on the date promised and left us with a professional written quote. The craftsmen who did the work arrived on time and stained using only brushes; no spraying! They worked all day without stopping. Sanded several areas where moldy spots appeared to work out discolorations before applying the stain…The deck looks fabulous. I would have them back again!

We had our pool deck refinished/screened patio painted a couple of years ago. They did a great job (both crews, washers, and painters). This year, we had our pole barn washed and painted for the first time. It was a hard job, but the result was really great. And they washed my 2-horse trailer for free!

Thank you for delivering beyond our expectations.

The key for a project in any industry is to have a plan so people like me have confidence. The team at Painting Craftsman did just that; from the initial visit and decision on product to the proper prep, then application, and finally a final look for touch-ups. I don't write many endorsements, yet this team of pros nailed it.
