Student Works Painting West

Hard working guys, but did not estimate the cost properly, could not forsee the result requested. As a result, they had to redo the work under the condition to be paid 1/3 on top of the original quote. It was very disappointing, but the final result was to our satisfaction.

The pricing was very good which is what impacted our decision to use this company. The sales person was professional and thorough promising a high quality job. We had discussed cleaning of the trim in certain areas where there was mold/mildew and he said no problem it would be scrubbed first. When the painters showed up, they were left unsupervised and I happened to notice them rolling right over the mold/mildew parts. I had to ask them to please stop and I called the sales rep directly. He then spoke with the painter and told them to clean it first. Of course, they had no TSP with them (so I'm not sure how they were supposed to clean it first as promised) and so I had to give them some and a bucket (which they also didn't have). After that I checked on them periodically to ensure the job was being done as promised. The painters were very pleasant and hard working but I'm not sure of their painting experience or level of quality but the job was completed in a reasonable timeframe. After the job was completed we did find a few spots that needed touch up and the sales person did come and do those touchups with no problems. The strange thing is that they left their ladders and equipment on our property for days, and their power washer was left here for weeks without asking us if that was OK. Then one day it was just gone so I'm assuming they picked it up. They also used our hose and nozzle to clean their brushes and the hose and nozzle are now covered in paint and were not cleaned. Anyway, for the money, it was as good as you're going to get. They did do what was promised and they did come back and touch up anything I pointed out. The effort was definitely there with the professionalism and quality a bit lacking.

i had Eric Banerd from Student Works Painting paint my exterior fences, gazebo, garage. He was polite, knowlegable and very efficient. his crew showed up on time and were neat and tidy and had very good manners. i would recommend Eric Banerd for any painting jog.

Update August 2013 Taylor Wolters has come and completely redone my house. Prep work was done well and efficiently with the aid of belt sanders.. The Paint job was done well- no missed areas. Covered well. Ashley, who helped with the painting, is a good painter, and pays attention to detail .I am totally pleased with the turn about. Thank you to Lindsay Boon for getting this project back on track.
I would now recommend Student works painting.

I was very happy with the service this company provided. They painted our whole house in less than five days and did a phenomanal job. They were very friendly and reasonable priced. They were also very reliable.

I needed to get my fence painted this year because it was really starting to become and eyesore. On recommendation from a friend, I contacted Student Works Painting. A young lady named Lauren was able to come over and provide a quote. I found the quote reasonable and went ahead with the service. The fence was painted in an accetabke amount of time and the workmanship was top notch. My fence looked great AND I was able to provide some work for university students. Win-win.

The problem with Student Works Painting is that the quality of the work depends on the students who happen to be hired for that project. In my case, the student in charge was well intentioned, but the actual work done by the painters hired was of extremely poor quality. Even though the project was "finished", I am still noticing sections that received no paint at all. Just yesterday I found a 3 foot section of the fascia which had not been painted or primed, and was still in its "prepared" state. This should not happen in a professional job; I should not be forced to inspect every inch (especially the sections that I cannot reach on a ladder). The sections are then painted when I discover them, but then I find more. An unsatisfactory experience, to say the least. While the students were courteous and prompt, this does not compensate for substandard work. Unless you have references for the particular student in charge, be wary.

The house was badly sprayed and had to be rolled out. We did that ourselves.The biggest problem came later when it started to peel. It took two years for the owner to respond and because I had touched it up with a half liter of paint because of the terrible appearance they absolved themselves of all responsibility.

Our contact originally started as a door to door describing the company, student organized company venturing into painting. I liked their determination and asked for their service. Very polite and patient. I was the one late for our appointments, they waited each time. They provide tips for maintaining the work far beyond expectations,

very polite estimate and hard working .They took a day to mask entire house ,no problem yet ,the weather didnt help them either . When the alluminum siding was given the first coat ,a few drips showed up ,after a touch up with the roller orange peel on sising was left . I sanded for 8hours to repair blemishes in siding , the second coat was no better lots of runs which i marked to show them the runs more students came to assist and sand them out and repair the runs ,later when cleaning the sprayer old paint was in the nozzel tip ,not helping the end result. I will say they did work hard ,but only because they had to repair and sand lots of runs .I am somewhat satisfied ,but the project itself wqas stressfull ,im still cleaninf overspray off my vinyl deck ,hand rails ,
