Unacceptably poor workmanship

I usually get my Mom to paint, but after a full house renovation, we wanted to invest in a professional service so it would be done well. I deeply regret paying the bill in full on this service before realizing how poor the quality is. The painter worked so fast it was impossible to do a good job; he missed several areas, used a brush with coloured paint on it to paint our white trim, brush strokes everywhere, did not tape or cut in properly, paint on my brand new floors, couch, dripped and splattered on trim and everywhere else etc. Did not put a second coat of paint on the trim or doors; I, as someone who has never painted, am confident I could have done a better job myself. Also painted doors he was told twice not to paint and then charged me $100 for each of them. I usually never complain but I was so disappointed so I sent pictures and let him know; he agreed to come back and fix his mistakes. He came back, and I was excited for things to be better; however, he only fixed 1 thing on the list and the rest is absolutely atrocious. The break down of labour costs/time ended up being $200/hr. Beyond disappointed; I wish I was a more assertive person as I should have refused to pay the bill.

NOT fix %99 of what was on the list.

This is not true yes there was some touchups. as far as charging you $100 per door to paint some doors that you didn't want painted that's not true. I charged $50 per door and when I first showed up, I went over the work order with your husband (because you rushed out the door just as I was getting there)and pointed out those doors and he told me yes to paint those. Both days that I showed up there you were rushing out the door before I could get there to go over even the job or any touchups that had to be done on the second day. I showed up on time at 8 o'clock both days and if you needed me to be there a little bit earlier to go over the work I could've done that also. both days I was there to do the work. I was pressured by your husband to leave by 3 o'clock because he had appointments the day that I was finishing up I didn't even get a chance to clean up or sweep up because he had to go and was rushing me out the door. All of those photos you sent me and I asked you to make a list of the things to be taken care of, and I took care of everything in those photos. Your husband was sitting on the couch watching me the whole time and could've pointed out anything else that was not right and I would've taken care of it. ( again rushing me out the door because he had an appointment ) I am pretty fast at the work that I do, but I take pride in my work and come back and take care of anything that needed to be taken care of, instead of making a list you put sticky notes on the spots that needed to be taken care of and I took care of every one of them so to write this review to say that I came back and did not do anything is wrong and if you had more concerns, all would've taken, was a phone call for me to come back and take care of it

Bathroom and ceiling paint project

Our painter did a good job painting our bathroom and kitchen/hallway ceiling. BUT.ladies bewarethe man who came to paint my place wasnt even in my home for 5 minutes before he hit on me. He asked me if I wanted the rest of the condo painted and when I told him I was planning on doing it myself, his reply to me was, I will do it for you. You can cook me dinner. He then proceeded to ask if I was single, which I was not (thats besides the point). He also did this with my daughter present. After that, we were uncomfortable being in our home while he finished the paint job, so we had to make other plans and stay away until the job was done. We found this to be extremely unprofessional behaviour while also creating an awkward situation for us. For this reason I would not be able to recommend this company to anyone, particularly females.

I was bartering with you to paint one bathroom not your whole place and I wasn't hitting on you. I was bartering with you for dinner to paint one bathroom then I asked you if you're a single because I didn't want to offend you and when you told me you were engaged, I said sorry I guess not then, that was all sorry if you took offence to that and you're acting like your daughter was six years old or something. I'm pretty sure your daughters in her late 20s and I didn't mean to offend anybody I'm single and was just trying to barter for some dinner if you had an issue with that all it would've taken, was one phone call and as far as coming back to the suite when I came back from your my lunch, your daughter was there. I asked her if everything looked good. She said everything look great. she didn't seem scared to me. seems to me you're over exaggerating what went on in your suite I could understand if I didn't do a good job. You could write a bad review about me, but to write saying that I was hitting on you when all I was doing was trying to barter for the work that I'm doing. I do it often.

Painting living room

Hi, I just had Robbie come out and paint my living room here in west Kelowna I hate to write this review, but I was not happy with how it turned out he told me its 250 for a room and he didnt even fully complete the room theres still a section left to be painted and he wants another hundred bucks for that that shouldve been painted white well, he was here. He has left four runs and theres a lot of white specs around the room by my lamp by my baseboard. The price is good, but the quality was not so great. I wanted him to do the rest of my house, but Im not sure if I actually want to as he left a lot of runs just in the living room alone and he says he cannot fix him until the end of June because hes really booking up. And he still wants $400. He also painted the ceiling the ceiling seem to turn out OK but not happy with the walls.

I wanted to charge you extra because it was taking a third coat to make things cover in the quote I gave you was for two coats. I do this for everybody as far as some runs on the wall. I was trying to put it on thick enough to cover two coats because you didn't want to pay the extra cost to put on the third coat and sometimes when you do that, the paint sag a bit because it is put on too heavy, and I've could've taken care of any of that. Had you called me to come back and yes, I am very busy, but I always take care of any problems that arise.

Very Professional Job

I am extremely happy with the work done by Kelly! Painted was a large den and kitchen plus the powder room. Lots of cutting! Kelly was professional and the result was exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend or use this company again.

Interior house painting

We are extremely happy with our interior paint job. We had our whole main floor, with ten foot high walls, whole upper floor and stairwell up and down painted, approximately 2000 sq. Feet.
The job included several feature walls and some colours (red) required 3-4 coats so those items cost a little extra but not unreasonable cost.
The painters, Yasin and Yousef, were respectful, polite, friendly and totally professional.
The workmanship was top notch with attention to detail in every room.
Thanks for such a great job for a very reasonable price.
We are

Post Reno Tidy

What a great job! They came in to redo the ceiling, baseboards and a bedroom. The tedious nature of the job and the fact that it wasn't a multi thousand dollar job meant I didn't think we would get someone good to take it on.
When our painter Antonio showed up he made sure to cover all of our cabinets and made sure there would be no mess. Baseboards look great, ceiling looks immaculate and the bedroom is just as the kid wanted. I can't recommend these guys enough. They were prompt profession and you would never know they were in the house after they left!
Definitely reach out to these guys!

Brutal workmanship!

Horrific workmanship. Specified 2 colours. One colour used. Paint all over hardware and cabinets and floors. Areas without last coat. Painter found sleeping! Garbage left behind. Never again

This is not true. The paint on the hardware might've been from previous painters. As we take all the hardware off and if this was done by us, all it would've taken was one phone call and we would've taken care of it and cleaned it off. We don't think the painter was sleeping on the job and if he was, he might've been taking a break and if there was garbage left behind, someone should've called us to have it removed. This is the first we are seeing this as we don't check the testimonials too often because we don't often have a negative one all it takes is one phone call and we would make sure that everything would have been taken care of.

Paint the condo

Jen painted our entire condo (excluding the bathrooms) in one day! She was amazing, she came in with a plan and executed it quickly and efficiently. She was conscientious, pleasant and left the worksite clean at the end of the day. I thought the quote was fair, it included two coats and was completed about a week after the quote.

Living Room with High Ceiling / Hallways

Had our living room (very high walls) and hallway areas painted in February 2022. They showed up on time, performed high quality work and stuck to the quoted price. Very satisfied with the crew and the job they did. Highly recommended.

Super Impressed!

We called to get a quote early December to paint 3 rooms/hallway in our condo. Robbie came the next day to give us a quote and we were impressed he could schedule us within a week. Sandy and Merv (if I remember correctly) were our painters and they were awesome! They did a fabulous job and were very professional in following all Covid protocols and very friendly and approachable.
The best part was after they left they cleaned up everything so well you would not had known they were there except for our nice new immaculately painted bright walls. Have already referred them to friends who have booked them.

Thanks so much,
Dee and D’Arcy
