I had Benchmark Painters come in to completely repaint the walls & ceilings of a 2000 sq ft, 3 level townhouse I'm renovating. I chose Benchmark based on the reviews found here on Homestars. I had a couple other painting companies come by to quote on the job & although all the quotes were very close in price, the deciding factor for me was that Benchmark takes care of everything in-house rather than having to sub-contract certain projects in my home. By that I mean they have their own internal drywallers, texture guys, moulding guys etc... So basically I only had to deal with 1 company rather than 2 or 3 different sub-contractors as well as the painters.
When I first contacted Benchmark, Aaron came out give me an estimate for all the work needed to be done. He was very knowledgeable & personable & answered all of the questions I had regarding the work to be done. In the end, the initial estimate worked out to be within a couple precent of the final invoice total, mainly because there was an excessive amount of drywall repair needed to be done before the painting could commence.
The 3 man crew that did the majority of the work at my townhouse were excellent! Rob, Greg, & Craig were all great to deal with & managed to finish the entire project on time & well within the budget I had initally set. My walls & ceilings look great & there are literally no signs of where any drywall patchwork was done, & believe me, there was a lot of patchwork that was done :) I even had them retexture part of my ceiling since the previous homeowner tried to smooth it out but gave up about 25% of the way in. Benchmark managed to repair & match the ceiling texture so now alll my ceilings look completely uniform.
My wife & I are so pleased with the work Benchmark performed, the professionalism of their staff, & their commitment to providing their customers with some of the best customer service I've ever received. I would not hesitate to reccommend Benchmark Painters to any family, friends, or anyone else I come across looking to get some paint work done :)
Thanks Benchmark for all your hard work. My family & I couldn't be happier with the finished product.
