Student Works Painting West

The quoting process was very professional and they went above and beyond to provide references, and past projects that I could go and view.

Before starting special care was paid to colour matching our other out building and spot testing the stain for our garage door. It took a couple of tries but they made sure to get it right.

During the painting the team was conscientious and took care not to damage my property including a nasty tangle of raspberries that were climbing up one of the walls they had to paint.

When they started working on the garage door and front door they encountered issues with the clear coat that had been previously applied. In the end they had to sand both down to the bare wood before the new stain could be applied. Despite this multi-day unplanned setback, they kept to the original quote and didn't request any additional compensation.

Top notch.

We were given a deadline by the condo board to stain our deck and all wooden fixtures on the external part of our condos. I am not a handy person and my husband was not around. I got in touch with Megan of student works and not only did they do a good job in the right amount of time, they also recommended the appropriate stain to use to all unit owners and helped with the purchase of the stain at a good price. My deck and wood fixtures look good.
Thanks Megan

In 2015 we contracted Jordan Kipnes to paint the inside and outside of our company's warehouse. We also got him to paint the entire exterior of our home. They were very professional and did an excellent job with both the caulking/prep and painting. The warehouse was 300 feet long by 40 feet tall and they completed it with ease. They used a combination of lifts and ladders and kept everything on budget. We were very impressed with Jordan's experience and crew as everyone worked very hard to complete such a large project.

Our home still looks as new as when the painters left it and it has been close to 3 years. Jordan had recommended using the Diamond paint from Dulux which was a great choice as it has really held up. We painted our stucco white and it used to get very dirty as we live near the water. It is still a crisp white and very easy to clean should we need to. Both crews were very polite and professional. I would highly recommend Student Works Painting for both big and small projects.

As a busy entrepreneur and business owner, it is difficult to find time to do any of my own home renovation tasks. I have painted before in our previous home, but have found the task to be tedious and difficult to manage around hectic family/work schedules.

Based on the new layout, corners and cut ins of our current home, we were hesitant to tackle the large project on our own. As the years slipped by, I was getting pretty fed up with the awful matte institution yellow that the builder had chosen, but was unable to come to a decision on which colours would best complement our decor.

Through the magic of networking, I was put in touch with Megan Shpyth and her team. Megan not only began by providing us colour wheels, but she insisted on paint swatches on specific walls to help us decide which paint actually look best in each area. Just this act alone helped sharpen our choices, as many colours are not as they appear on paper. This saved us from regretting a potentially bad room colour choice, and prevented us from unnecessary costs of painting over an area for a second time.

When the team came to site, they were punctual, professional, and met the timelines Megan promised. They filled all the nail holes (and even all of our move in/kid drywall damage!) and did an excellent job of the interior of our home (no floor paint droplets or ceiling paint mistakes!). All of the painters on our site had a temperament so warm towards my children, my daughters were sad to see them go. It was a real pleasure to have them in our home.

It has been a year since our work was completed, and we continue to this day to remark on how much we LOVE the new interior of our house. It finally feels like our home!

I absolutely recommend the knowledgeable and skilled Megan for any future painting project you may have. Let her show you how easy and reasonably priced a new coat of paint can be, I was truly impressed. The only thing I regret about our experience is not doing this sooner!

Mikayla was very prompt with her attendance at the site to provide a quote and was able to have the job completed promptly. Staff are friendly and produce quality work.

We have used Student Works Painting in the past and were pleased with their work. We had started an new reno project and doing all the work ourselves. We purchased paint and part way through the project we contacted Student Works Painting again, working with Dallas S. coordinating. Dallas and his team painted the hallways, living room, dining room area, down the stairs to front door and around the front door. As we had the paint we continued to supply the paint for the project. After the job was complete Dallas followed up with any issues we may have had and came back to make touch ups until we were satisfied. I would use Student Paint Works again and recommend them to anyone needing a painting project done!

We have hired Megan Shpyth on more than one occasion to do painting in our house...the living room, kitchen, pantry, bedrooms, bathroom, etc...you name it, Megan does an awesome job. She is incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. I know when we hire her to do a job, it will be well done and on time. We could not be more pleased with Student Works. Thanks Megan!

We have used Megan Shpyth on a number of occasions for both larger and smaller paint jobs. She has been an incredible resource for our Property Management company and I have recommended her over and over. She is always on time, delivers excellent results and competitively priced. Megan has become a friend due to her trustworthiness and a top preferred vendor for us! Thank You Megan for all you have done for us and we look forward to doing future business together

We had a great experience with Colin and his team of painters. They came and painted our stucco, Tudor style house over the course of a week and were extremely professional throughout. They kept all of their materials and ladders nice and tidy in the back yard showed great care for their work on the house. Colin kept us updated on the progression of the job and even painted some of the more difficult doors himself just to make sure everything was up to his standards. We would absolutely use his services again and don’t hesitate to recommend him.

Re Colin Spurling and team
I had the exterior of my home painted recently by Colin and 2 members of his crew. Colin did a thorough survey of the house to determine the cost of the job. He explained what the process would be and time involved.
The team arrived and did the prep work quickly and thoroughly and a few days later painting began. I was impressed with the attention to detail, particularly where window moldings met the main siding of the house and had to be a different colour. The work was done neatly and at the end of each day supplies were placed tidily out of the way. The workers were always polite and respectful and the few times they needed to access to areas from the interior of the house they were careful to avoid tracking any dirt through.
The result is a great paint job which was completed in the stated time period-allowing for some rainy days. Drainpipes and other pieces which were removed prior to the painting were replaced and supplies were cleaned up. I am very pleased with the quality of the work and the attitude of the painters. I am looking forward to having the interior of my home painted by Student Works in a few months.
